We wanted to personally thank you for the wonderful care you have given our father over the past several months. He certainly made things difficult for you, to say the least. We are so blessed to have had such wonderful, patient caregivers and we are ever grateful to you all.

I know that if I get sick I will have excellent care. People don't realize how great the care is. I really highly recommend it."

As a nurse, I'm very aware of all of the steps you need to go through to receive that kind of accreditation (from the Continuing Care Accreditation Commission). Nowhere else we looked at had that."

Jean Dobblestein
Bridgewater Place Charter Member



I want to thank you, all the nurses and aides who took care of my husband while he was in Briarwood. All of you showed so much compassion and professionalism in dealing with him as his dementia progressed. I know that at times, he became difficult to handle, but everyone rose to the task with love and understanding in a very dignified manner.

The wife of a Briarwood resident



The people are so friendly. There is never a dull day."
