Traditional Assisted Living at Briarwood
As you age, everyday tasks, also known as activities of daily living (ADLs), may become more difficult, but that doesn’t mean giving up your independence. Assisted living at Briarwood provides seniors with additional support when they need it, allowing them to live their lives to the fullest in a warm, caring community.
Why Choose Briarwood Assisted Living?
In Briarwood’s assisted living apartments, residents receive customized support tailored to their individual needs. A Registered Nurse directs the program and Personal Care Attendants are available 24/7 to provide compassionate support.
Each resident receives their own Individual Service Plan, which details the exact services they’ll need. These plans include between 45 to 90 minutes of assistance per day, which may include dressing, bathing, grooming, and medication reminders.
With Briarwood assisted living in Worcester, you receive the customized support you need in the privacy of your own apartment — all within a caring, supportive, and fun community.
