We are thrilled to announce that Briarwood Continuing Care Retirement Community has once again been ranked the #1 retirement community in Massachusetts by Newsweek! Even more exciting, we have also earned a spot among the top 15 continuing care retirement communities in the entire Nation. This incredible recognition underscores our unwavering commitment to providing top-quality care, a welcoming environment, and a fulfilling lifestyle for our residents.
Newsweek’s List of America’s Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities
Newsweek recently released its list of the best continuing care retirement communities in the nation. The news agency partnered with Statista, a global data and ranking provider, to determine who deserved a spot on the list. The rankings were based on an independent survey that assessed several key factors, including accreditation scores, visitor satisfaction, and Google reviews. This means the award reflects not only industry standards but also the real experiences and feedback of residents and their families.
What Makes Briarwood the Best Retirement Community in Massachusetts?
For the second year in a row, not only did Briarwood make the national list, but we were ranked #1 in both Massachusetts and New England, solidifying our reputation as one of the best retirement communities in Massachusetts. This honor speaks to and recognizes the incredible sense of community, care, and support that defines Briarwood.
For over 40 years, we have provided a warm and welcoming home for anyone over 62. Our full continuum of care allows residents to enjoy independent living with the peace of mind that comes with knowing that assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing care are available should they ever need it. Our model enables people to age in place, eliminating the stress of relocating as needs change.
Beyond our care options, Briarwood offers an array of amenities and services, including:
- A state-of-the-art wellness center with classes and programs designed for seniors
- On-site healthcare and rehabilitation services
- Scheduled transportation for shopping and appointments
- A variety of social activities and resident-led clubs
- A home companion program for additional support
- Beautifully landscaped grounds with a Pavilion and outdoor seating
- Restaurant-style dining with diverse menu options
Our mission is to ensure that every resident feels valued, supported, and empowered to live their best life. Our staff and residents come together to create a warm, homey environment that makes everyone feel welcome and valued.
