respect. He enjoys the leisure time that he is able to spend in the dining room or lounge. The home is clean with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We would definitely recommend the Briars to other families.

on my last visit for 3 meals, and looked very tasty and healthy. It's just unfortunate that my mother has little appetite these days.
My mothers care, including giving medication on time, managing her agitations etc, all seems to have been done with the utmost dignity by staff. And she absolutely loved having a bath, which she has not been able to have for a few years.
This is an honest account of my observations when I visited in December, and therefore, these comments are only a snapshot of her time at the home. Unfortunately as I'm not resident on the island, my visits are infrequent. But I'm pleased to say I have no concerns regarding her care so far.

visits from friend and family.

all the trauma and greif and the home felt they were no longer able to meet her needs.

From the day she 'moved in' the staff supported her with care and compassion and quickly seemed to undestand her dementia and how the transer would be best supported, to minimise her potential anxiety and confusion.

My mother, I feel is still settling, but getting more familiar with the environment, which at times is busy, but seems organised and is welcoming.

All the staff are friendly and approachable and clearly have a good knowledge of how to support residents with differing dementia needs with kindness and dignity.

with a pleasant manner. I have no concerns.

are defused immediately and with humour. They always very conscientious in giving out her medication, making sure she takes it and referring ailments and medical concerns to the doctor. Residents are treated with compassion, dignity and understanding.

Some of the home's facilities are rather basic but they make the best use of them that they can. The garden is very pleasant and residents can sit outside in summer and there is also shelter from the sun. It would be better if staff meetings and training could take place somewhere else than one of the lounges at the end of the building as it limits space and toilet facilities for residents. Security for residents is excellent.

fresh. I don't have any complaints, and very satisfied with the care that they are providing. Never seen my mum smile so much which makes me smile when visiting.

high standard of cleanliness and decoration. Good management, good staff, makes for a very pleasant environment. My sincere thanks to you all.

me he was glad to be home.
The staff at the Briars have been absolutely amazing, not only with my dad but with me too. They have made us both feel welcome and most importantly, my dad feels safe. Within days of his arrival one staff member realised my dad enjoyed a bath and if he was a little anxious a bath helped him relax. I’d never known my dad to take a bath, but here I am buying bubble bath for him!
My dad has a beautiful bright sunny room with a view over the hills, which I think he’s hardly noticed as he spends all his time in the communal area or the garden where there always seems to be something or other going on. To all the staff at The Briars, thank you.

its good that she has been able to tell me she is happy, everyone is very kind & caring, she has friends. We know she is in the right place.

and certainly have nothing to complain about.

without having to go and find out. I had reservations about mum going into a home but she is safe, well cared for and stimulated. I wish we had done it sooner. Thank you everyone.

amazing. As all the staff.
All of you have made Dad's last year and last days happy.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
