Checked a lot of boxes in my search for a retirement community. Good location, great set of activities, and a varied meal menu. Rooms were a little tight on space.

Your senior living choice can be what you make it. Limited by budget and my own physical limits I found Briarcrest suited my needs. I was not accepted by some assisted living places in my area because I was in a wheelchair and needed more help than they could allot me. Briarcrest had some signup bonuses that assisted me. They are remodeling units for new arrivals and there is the promise of a needed update of the common areas beginning soon. The food is good. All meals and snacks are available and a part of provided room and activities. Staff and residents are friendly and welcoming. This is independent living and I have to pay for needed help but my budget allows it after paying the reasonable rate at Briarcrest.

I had written a review earlier today and neglected to state my personal fault of this facility. This is a personal thing, I realize, but there are no security cameras in or out of this facility. Also the doors are locked in the evening over night, but access is open all day. Presently I reside in a locked facility with key access by residents 24/7. Also, there are cameras inside and out which have a history of prevention of misfortune. This is a personal thing that I did share with [name removed], who is really great.

My Dad move in and we have had nothing but a good experience. The tour was great with no high pressure. The building is in need of updates but it was clean. I understand they will be updating this year. We felt it was more like them trying to help my Dad rather than trying to sell us something. I would highly recommend taking a look.

The place is clean. The staffing changes are excessive. The services paid for by residents are not being received due to lack of staff.

Regular interval cleaning did not occur due to staffing shortages. However, quality work was preformed when room cleaning occurred. Otherwise it would be a 5. [name removed] is the best!

Don't believe anything they tell you. They lie. I would move out if I could. I do not recommend Briarcrest Estates.

Response from Holiday Briarcrest Estates
February 14, 2024Thank you for reaching out. I have shared your review with the General Manager, and he would appreciate the opportunity to better understand your concerns. Please email me at CustomerService@AtriaSeniorLiving.com, and I will put you in touch.
My friends live here, unfortunately. It looks and smells like a nursing home. They only get small portions of food, no 2nds. My friend has lost weight. They were there 5 weeks, no one had come to clean. 3 moving vans were there to move people out. She is very depressed and lonely. I am calling the agency that licenses this place and making a formal complaint against them.

I toured this community for my mom and immediately felt welcomed and at home. They are doing a beautiful remodel on the apartments and it was the perfect fit. Unfortunately, my mom‘s health has taken a turn and we weren’t able to move her in there. I highly recommend checking Briarcrest out. Lunch was delicious and the price for a brand new apartment was the best we’ve found!

[names removed] have been amazing with my parents. They all spent a lot of time with them before they signed their lease. They were able to get an amazing apartment. I know they will enjoy being residents of Briarcrest Estates.
