Brier Pointe Retirement Community

We chose Brier Pointe Retirement Community because it's very clean, and has no weird smells. The staff is super kind and helpful. They are really great people, especially [name removed].

It is fantastic in all respects!

We attended an information seminar and we were intrigued by the presentation and eventually became the second couple to move into Brier Pointe when it opened. We were drawn into the community by the promise of all-inclusive services to include meals, housekeeping, paid utilities, transportation services, social activities & events. We have not been disappointed at all. In fact, we've met so many new friends and my husband has received a new lease on life. He was introduced to Chinese brush painting, and this is his new passion. He has painted 45 pieces in 14 months and has even been offered up to $200 for some of his work.

We started to look at retirement living options in the Raleigh area because we were getting older, having health issues and really needed to relocate from Virginia to be closer to our adult children. Most of our family was living in the area and it just made sense for us to be closer to them. We fell in love with Brier Pointe for the following reasons: they had easy entry/exit access for our dog, no hidden fees, close proximity to our children & extended family & a variety of meals. We didn't know that we would also grow to love the social activities, but we truly have. We are doing fun things that we never thought we would do. We also enjoy great educational seminars and other learning opportunities.

I lost my partner about a year ago and was lonely. I wanted to find a place where I could age-in-place, stop cooking for one person, be safe, meet new friends & be close to my adult children, so I came across Brier Pointe online. On my initial visit to the community, I had the opportunity to meet several residents. Everyone seemed so content & happy and that made me feel at home. My decision to relocate was one of the best decisions I've made!

The rooms are very well designed with great use of space. Well equipped with functional kitchen and bathroom needs. The staff knows every ones name and communicates well with all residents. Help is always available for all needs. Location is excellent near shopping of al kinds and restaurants ........The grounds are very peaceful and well kept. There are plenty of activities to join in on and movies to watch regularly. There is a gym facility as well as a library and game room. The dining area is spacious and inviting to stay and visit with friends.

I had seen the commercials for A Place for Mom on television, but never thought I would ever use them. My mom had been living independently, but after a hospital stay, our family decided to begin looking for alternatives for her once she was discharged. We contacted A Place for Mom and quickly set up tours. The last tour of the day was at Brier Pointe and when my brother and I walked in, we both knew immediately this would probably be "the one" - and it was. Everyone we encountered was smiling, friendly and very helpful - from the residents to the employees. After talking with Mom, sharing pictures and thoughts, she agreed with us. When she was discharged from the hospital, we took her to see Brier Pointe. My brother and I gathered her belongings from the car, turned to find her and she was already at the front door - she was that excited. Her reaction did not disappoint - we had made the right decision! She had been there a little over a month now and loves it!

This fall an elder friend was in need of a safe and good home that provides excellent meals with flexibility. We visited six places in Durham, Morrisville & Cary. By far Briar Point provides the best services of those visited. The folks there are very warm & friendly. They made our choice easy!

My husband and I moved here at the end of January and have been happy since day 1. The staff here is excellent. They truly act as though they are here to make us feel at home and want to make us happy. We are also glad that the residents get along well and care about one another. We feel like we have found our home.

Staff is wonderfully friendly and helpful, the most outstanding factor here, for me. Communication has been easy, pleasant, and rewarding. Activities are so-so, but they respond to suggestions. Also, bus service for errands etc. could be more frequent. But not all folks are like me and most love the food, for instance. All in all, I’m glad I moved here, especially since I didn’t expect to like it much. What sold me on the community was that it was new, and that the terrific sales representative said it would be run like a family and spoke so well of the corporation. I felt like I was getting a personal recommendation and not just a professional one. I highly recommend Brier Pointe.
