Review from Deborah D (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 May 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mam has been a resident at Briarwood for around two months now and all I can say is the change in her is amazing. She has settled really well and loves the staff. She is gaining weight and looks really happy. The staff are very friendly and helpful and they are always there if we need anything. We as a family feel more settled knowing my mam is well cared for

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
