My visit at Briarwood Rehab Center was an excellent experience! Everyone I came in contact with was very pleasant and greeted me with kindness. I truly appreciate the care they are providing to my oldest sister, in spite of the fact that she can sometimes be strong will.

The female employee with blond who works in the office to the right of the hospital entrance is not friendly at all. manager? I've never seen such an employee before. She was rude and mean. This staff need kindness training.
Nurses and others staff is great. If you have a health care proxy, check who your health care proxy is before admission. Anyone who wants to meet you can only meet with the permission of the health care proxy. And even if you want to meet, you cannot meet unless the health care proxy allows you. Even family members. And you will be monitored when you meet. This is my experience
