Our parents, grandparents and their friends taught us the value of long-term commitment. They have shown us what we want when we are their age - a lifetime of memories and friendships that have endured all the years and have remained steadfast. Some things are worth waiting for in life and worry isn't one of them.
Worry plagues us and robs us of our joy far too often, but if we truly admit it - worrying today rarely takes away any of tomorrow's heartache. Seniors do worry about being alone and unable to care for themselves. A wonderful, caring environment like that found at Briarcliff Health Center, helps alleviate much of that worry.

This place is nice. As soon as I walked in the door, the place smelled so fresh and clean. Did not at any time smell urine. My mom is on( B hall) and when I tell you Miss Jarnel the housekeeper, and Mr. Darnnell had that place smelling fabulous I mean that. My mom has been in two other nursing homes inTyler, and when I tell you the unine smell was bad at the other two places it was bad. Other nursing home should raise there standard in cleaning. Maybe Briarcliff housekeeping Can teach other nursing homes on how to keep facility clean , and fresh. Two thumbs up for this place.

My grandfather is in the STAR Rehab unit. We make about 40 calls a day and can’t get anyone to answer. I understand they’re busy but since Covid prevents us from being there being able to get updates is imperative. When we finally get someone to answer (by calling other units and having them give messages To the staff that we need an answer) they are extremely rude and incompetent in answering questions. I was hung up on by Mia. The nurse I spoke to days before wasn’t any better.

The staff is wonderful!! I can't say enough about the caring people in Briarcliff! They have all been so very helpful and attentive to my mother. The memory unit is fabulous. The entire facility is impressive. The people here really care. The process of putting my mother into a home other than her own has been made so much easier by everyone there.
They have a wonderful PT and OT staff and facility. From the minute we visited, through the move-in, the entire staff has made us feel like we truly found a "home" that we know our mother is safe and very well cared for! She has a beautiful room, with

I won't explain the hardships of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's. If you have, or know, of someone in that situation you know well the immense challenges and difficulties associated with around the clock monitoring and care. That said, the decision to have others assume care for your loved one is not one entered into lightly and most are greatly conflicted about the decision. At least that was our experience. We used the resource list provided by the Alzheimer's Association of Smith County and drew heavily on recommendations from neighbors and friends to research facilities in the Tyler

My mom has been staying in the memory unit for about a year, and the staff has been wonderful to her. She is clean, happy and well attended. She likes the food, and has maintained her weight well, despite some appetite issues. We have liked all of her nurses, who are extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. They are very supportive of family, as well. The other employees are awesome, too, going out of their way to greet us and offer assistance, if/when needed. I visit frequently at different times of day, and have always been pleased at the level of care, attention and concern.

My husband has been here a short time, I went in thinking this was a nursing home but this place made me feel at home. Everyone was nice and caring to my husband and myself. With the issues he is having they may not can keep him but at least they tried and I have absolutely no complaints. As for the patient areas everything has been clean and looks to be newly updated.

We placed my mother at Briarcliff due to her Alzheimer's disease. Mom was very difficult, frequently refused to take a bath, had trouble making her needs known, and didn't sleep well at night. The staff were so caring. At night, when she woke up, they would bring her to the nursing station, make her a snack and visit with her until she was ready to go back to bed. They kept her busy with activities during the day. She gained weight and seemed less anxious. Alzheimer's is a terrible disease that robbed my mother of her memories. The staff helped me understand her disease process, so that I could

My mother was a resident at Briarcliff for about 5 years. She had problems with the staff and other residents. Her illness would make her somewhat aggressive toward the staff and residents. So at the end of her stay there, they thought a behavioral center would be a go thing for her. Well come to find out they were just trying to get her out of there nursing home. The behavioral center informed me instead of the nursing home. This nursing home has alot of morons working on staff and should have contacted me to let me know of there intentions. Also, the day I went to move her belongings to her new
