Very clean. But staff has one speed...SLOW. It's a if they want patients to fall. Left alone in bathroom no one came to help. Had to get up on my own. Only 2 days in after leg surgery...hate to see after a week what happens...pray for me.

Admission liaison at the facility informed the hospital case manager that my 99 year old mother had a room at Briarfield Place upon discharge. This was secured on May 10th. She was scheduled for discharge on the 12th pending cardiology clearance. Feeling positive about the availability, I returned to Pennsylvania to gather some of her belongings. I received a phone call from the hospital case manager at approximately 1:50 p.m informing me that Briarfield Place "gave her bed away". I was then told there would be a bed available the following Monday. That, too, was untrue as I was informed Monday morning that no bed was available. I requested to speak with the administrator but she was "unavailable". Although multiple excuses were offered by the intake placement team at the nursing home, there is medical chart documentation confirming my account of the events. I am giving the facility one star based on grossly unreliable information given by the admission personnel at Briarfield.

My mom's a resident of Briarfield Place. It's a new facility, I think it's only been open for one year. It's very clean. I was there maybe two full days and a half. People were coming in to do some cleaning, her eye drops, and medication, and she needed assistance toileting and showering. The people were very nice. She had a bed and two chairs in her room, a walk-in shower, and the toilet was set up with rails and grab bars on the side and everything. It was very nice. For the most part, I would say the staff were good. Unfortunately, two times, she had to have a boot on because she had fractured her fibula, and they put it on the wrong foot. We did bring it to their attention, and it has not happened since. I eat off her plate a little bit and the food was very tasty. They had a pretty good variety of food. She was asked if there is anything that she doesn't like. She doesn't eat red meat and she doesn't eat mushrooms, so they always had that little note on her tray to ensure that she did not get what she was not going to eat.
