Our Mission is to serve our customers.

Briarfield Health Care Centers are unique in that the owners and managers of the centers play a very active role in the day-to-day operations of the facilities. This allows them to get to know each resident and their family members so that admission from the hospital or home is a successful transition for all parties. We take our responsibilities very seriously so if you have a concern or a comment, we want to hear it.

Comfortable accommodations, a soothing atmosphere and a rehabilitation plan that adjusts to meet your individual needs are the hallmarks of our services. Our holistic approach focuses on your goals and needs. Therapies are offered twice daily, seven days a week according to your needs, but are integrated throughout the daily routine of The Suites at Briarfield.

The rehabilitation team members employed by our centers include physical, occupational and speech therapists, who offer therapies such as strength and balance training, ambulation training, wound care, and pain management. Other therapies focus on Activities of Daily Living such as homemaking bathing, and dressing.

Under the direction of your physician our professional nursing staff is available for pain management, IV therapy, wound care or other specialized skilled nursing needs. Our nursing staff works closely with patients and families to make sure they understand medication management and wound care prior to discharge. The Dietician also provides education about nutrition, diet modifications and special diets prescribed by your physician.

A licensed social worker is available to discuss Advanced Directives such as a Living Will or Power of Attorney for Health Care. And, most importantly, social workers will arrange regular meetings with our team of experts so that you or your family member can be part of goal setting for your stay with us. Our discharge planners will also assist you with home care and equipment so that your return home will be successful and your recovery complete.

You should consider a short-term rehabilitation program if:

  • You have had elective surgery and your surgeon has set specific goals for your recovery
  • Have other medical conditions that are unstable or that may affect your recovery
  • Are not able to function at a level close to the level you functioned at before your hospitalization
  • You will return home alone
  • Have multiple levels in your home requiring you to climb steps
