food is horrible. they still your clothes

The food is horrible for what they pay. they say the residents need 14 sets of clothes and the staff steals the nice clothing. don't take anything that has value, or it go missing. I talked to management and was made out as a Lier. i had to take pictures of everything and they wouldn't pay for stolen it. if they know who reported them, they will kick out the resident. The food is unfit. spaghetti without sauce. I take good every day to my uncle. Hès still hungry after a meal because they don't give enough. He hates…

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My aunt was in Sweetbriar in 2019. It was wonderful. The atmosphere is fantastic. It's a beautiful place. The rooms are big, it's very, very nice. It's just very much further for us to visit. And I know my aunt was very happy there, as happy as one could be. I think their care was very good. The dining area was beautiful, it's a very nice room. We did not eat there at any time, though. I know that they had music fairly often, from what I understand. I know that some of the residents even had sew…

My husband is living in Sweetbriar, and I love it. They have all kinds of stuff like church, singers coming in, and bingo. It's great. My husband's room is very clean.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Sweetbriar is all good, and I'm very satisfied with the care my friend gets. I'm very satisfied with everybody so far, from the administration down to the nursing assistants and housekeeping. They keep very close tabs on my friend. They come and tell him it's time for lunch or supper, or bingo or exercise classes. They don't forget anybody, and pay attention to what's going on and go the extra mile with the residents. The food looks good.

I visited this facility

Sweetbriar was nice, pretty, and clean. The staff was more than helpful, answered questions, and made follow up phone calls. The dining area was nice.

I Couldn't Be Happier With The Care

I had toured a few different communities in the area and none of them gave me the feeling that I have with this community. My husband seems to be adjusting well other than the fact he wants more independence than what he has. The staff is wonderful they are friendly and caring they know all the residents by name. The community is nice looking inside and out. They have rocking chairs out front and a nice courtyard out back the residents and families can enjoy. The food is wonderful I have eaten here several times an…
