Independent Senior Living at Briarwood: Do More, Enjoy More, and Live More
Experience a vibrant lifestyle at our independent senior living community, where you can be as involved or independent as you choose. Nestled within the peaceful woods of Worcester and West Boylston, our community offers the perfect balance of independence and support in a warm, engaging environment.
Why Choose Independent Senior Living?
Retirement should be about living fully, not spending time on home maintenance. Sure, you could go out and mow the lawn every week during the summer and shovel the walkway every few days during the winter, but that’s exhausting! Wouldn’t you rather spend your valuable retirement time doing things you enjoy?
At the same time, many seniors hesitate to move into a retirement community. After all, you still want to be able to do the things you want to do, and you don’t need help with daily tasks! That’s why Briarwood’s independent senior living option is designed for active, self-sufficient adults who want freedom without the hassle.
Here, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds: freedom from chores and responsibilities, and the flexibility to pursue what matters to you—in a warm, welcoming community of people just like you!

What do I like about Briarwood? What a simple question! I really, truly like everything. I loved my cottage, but now I’m so happy in my cozy apartment. The meals are great and so graciously served. All the amenities are wonderful too. And best of all are the people, the staff and the residents. I feel so lucky to be here!!!

I have lived here for ten years. I have never regretted my decision to come here. Folks are so friendly and we feel like a family. There is a lot of maintenance needed to stay in one’s own home — and I don’t have to worry about any of it!
