Briarwood

We've had a truly wonderful experience at Briarwood. After losing my mom, my dad was sad and depressewd. We were worried how he would adjust. from the moment he arrived, the staff treated him with such genuine kindness and compassion. It really feels like they see residents as family, not just clients.

We recently moved my mother in law to Briarwood and are so happy with the overall experience. From start to finish, the team made things easy and helped walk us through options and went above and beyond with yours, treats to sample food, friendliness, cleanliness and just overall helpful staff. We are thankful for the staff who helped us and take care of our loved one.

Briarwood Assisted Living and Memory Care

The facility has a great location, which was the initial reason we chose Briarwood. The lower score is caused by staff trying to accommodate difficult residents creating waste.

Exceeds all expectations!

From the moment we walked in, [name removed] made us feel incredibly welcome. Resident Care staff [name removed] personally welcomed us. We found everyone we met attentive, professional, and intentional about treating us like family. It gives me such peace of mind knowing my parents are safe, well-cared for, and genuinely happy. The experienced Administrative Director, [name removed], is excellent, well informed and always a step ahead of potential challenges. I can highly recommend Briarwood to anyone looking for top-tier senior living in Allegan! The community is beautiful and spotlessly maintained by [name removed]. It feels more like a cozy home than a facility. The food is amazing-prepared by Executive Chef [name removed] and her highly trained sous chefs and bakers, meals are delicious, attractive, and always impressive—[name removed] keeps a full calendar of fun activities that keeps everyone engaged socially. Thank you to the entire team for creating such a vibrant and exciting next chapter for our family!

Residence for My Dad

We are so grateful to have found this assisted living residence for my dad. The staff are genuinely caring, attentive, and treat residents with real kindness and respect. My dad's apartment is comfortable, clean, and well maintained, which gave our family peace of mind right away. He was able to bring all of his own furniture and decorations to make his apartment feel like home! There are also plenty of activities that keep the residents engaged, social, and active, which has made a big difference in my dad’s happiness and quality of life. We truly appreciate everything the team does and highly recommend this community to other families looking for excellent care. Briarwood Assisted Living is absolutely the best around!

Review for Briarwood Memory Care

My husband has been at Briarwood in the memory care unit for the past 3 months and I have been very pleased with the care he has received. He has been resting comfortably, and has never given me any complaints concerning his time there. The facility is very welcoming, and the personnel are very friendly and responsive. I am pleased to have Briarwood nearby in Allegan, and would recommend it for anyone needing assisted living with memory care.

Very kind and interested staff on your well being.

Staff at all levels are helpful in many ways. Very responsive to client needs. When I arrived here from my hospital stay, I was unable to do things for myself. The staff was always there for me with help and encouragement. Thanks to the staff I have greatly improved. My room is cleaned, bedding changed, toiletries adequately supplied, clothes and bedding washed regularly. Medication managed as appropriate. Administrative Staff and Aides truly care about me and my wellbeing, which makes me feel that I am in the right environment. The Enrichment staff are genuinely interested in our participation in our personal interests for activities and provide many opportunities.

Briarwood Assisted Living and Memory care review

Well luckily my parents have some money otherwise they would never be able to afford $[removed] a month. Meal-wise... my Dad doesn't eat meat very much. They have been great at making him a protein shake or sandwich but might be nice to have a simple 2nd choice? And I'm not sure but do they offer snacks in the afternoon? I don't even know. I've had to double check a lot with administration to get some things done.

Glad I am here

One thing that I found very helpful here is when I need help the caregivers are quick to respond. I also appreciate that the hallways and rooms are kept clean. Also, grateful that I do not have to do my cooking or my laundry. I did find it challenging when I first arrived that medications are handled by the pharmacy through assistive living. I have been in the hospital 4 times in the past few months since living here so medication have been a challenge.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Michigan’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Michigan’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
