 Moving to a congregate setting is often an overwhelming
and
emotional transition for seniors. In many cases, they are
leaving behind cherished possessions or homes where they raised
their families and created memories. We offer assistance to make
this change easier and will be there to assist family members in
coordinating every step of the move.
During initial health and function assessments prior to the
resident's move to one of our facilities, medical and dietary
information is gathered as well as personal preferences. Special
care can then be taken to ensure it is as comfortable and smooth
as possible by mimicking the lifestyle patterns and routines
clients are familiar with.
Staff make every effort to link the individual's care plan
with lifestyle preferences associated with appearance, routines,
music, hobbies, or spirituality.

"We ask a lot of questions - what their typical day is
like, their routines, and things they like to do. Then we try to
maintain as much of that as possible. These details also help
our staff get to know the resident before they move in."
Susan
Dixson, Director
"I enjoy my home at Briarlea. It is very clean
and new. The staff are good and always willing to help.
They look after my needs very well. I look forward to
seeing them come to work and my visits with them."
