It's a basic facility. Staff are helpful if needed, it is mostly clean, and each person gets table mates for meals. The price is very reasonable for someone with dementia. If your parent is still active and wants activities this is not the place for you. If your parent is not active or pretty far on the dementia path, this place meets the needs of knowing someone is there to help with basic functions and to look after your parent without the ridiculous price or feel of a nursing home

Honestly, if I could give a zero for everything I would. With maybe the exception of 5. The front desk lady, I can't remember her name, was very kind. It was the most horrific experience I ever had and I was ashamed to have put my father in that situation.

[name removed] comes to mind. She was lovely to work with. The staff was accommodating, helpful and took good care of my mother in the final days. You can't ask for more.

You need to be on top of communication with the staff. Other ways that they could improve: Cleanliness, checking in on bedbound patients, communication, food safety...honestly overall. I would not recommend to any family unless their loved one was independent and healthy otherwise. My advice: Pay more and go somewhere else.

We chose Birchwood Suites because they had the memory care unit as my MILs dementia and behavioral issues got her kicked out of her previous facility. But it seems that the drs at Birchwood got her medication figured out and she is doing so well she doesn't need to be in the memory unit anymore The staff is amazing and they take great care of my mother in law.

Several times I went to visit and couldn't get in because nobody was at the front. I waited for over an hour and nobody came. When I got inside my uncle was clearly in distress and slumped over in his wheelchair so that his hands were almost on the floor. There were staff in the same room and nobody even noticed or cared. Right before his death, he was clearly having another stroke or major issue. He was soaked with sweat, [name removed] distorted, moaning and he was just slumped over at the tables in the common room. I had them call in a dr.I also was upset by the fact that I would bring in clothes, items such as pressure pads and things to help him with comfort and they would sit in the boxes. I will say there were two really wonderful staff members that stayed with my uncle during his last week. They were kind and compassionate.

My ratings are generous, just being honest. All of those things were sub par. Mostly poor communication, not enough staff. I would not recommend the facility.

A place to say home is my home and the care giving is just the way to say. This is my home and I can be taken care of in my home. I. have chosen with the care that is provided by the entire staff and all residents that live here With the attention given to ensure that the best a living arrangement is for the residents to feel like they are at home.

What we like most about the Birchwood Suites is that they take care of the patient in house and we don't receive phone calls that they can't give the patient the care that they need (that happened at the last facility she was placed at). Based on the experience we have had so far, we would absolutely recommend them to other families!

Our family had a virtual tour with Birchwood Suits which in our opinion was horrible which is which they receive 1 star. The person during the virtual tour told me activities included television and maybe coloring which told me they just want to sit the residents in front of the tv and not be bothered. Rooms were barren looking and lots of shared bathrooms.

My dad has been at Birchwood for over 2 years and I am very happy with the care he receives. The staff is wonderful and take the time to develop relationships with the residents. They bring in entertainment for the residents. It’s like a family. So happy we selected Birchwood for my dad.

Birchwood Suites is a lovely warm caring assisted living community. Its clean, comfortable, well-furnished and great food with caring staff. They have an Enhanced License so your loved can age in place. Their pricing is fair, and they don't charge for everything separately. It's one price. I have my relative there and I am VERY HAPPY!!! Great Affordable choice. Thank you, Birchwood Suites!!!

We took a tour with Birchwood Suites and thought that it was a nice place. The reason my loved ones did not choose this facility was because the washers and dryers are not inside of the units in independent living. It is a community area where you do laundry and they did not want that.

I did not like this community at all. I just did not get a good vibe it just seemed like a ghost town and residents wandering looking for staff to help them.

I don't like the hours. You can only visit from 9am-5pm. I also don't like the fact that I can't just go in and see my loved one. I know where his room is, but I still have to wait in the waiting room until they get him. He's not happy with the food. Sometimes they pick up the phone. Sometimes they don't. The administration is very nice, and the caseworker is a sweetheart. But some of the staff are not the nicest. I don't like the whole Covid shutdown. I think they should let at least one family member come in wearing a mask. Not seeing family really deteriorated my loved one very badly. He went into a repression. He just needed to see me. All the residents need to see their family. And I understand if that's limited to one family member, at that family member's known risk if their are Covid patients in the building. Also, when a doctor is coming in to see him, they don't notify me. As his healthcare proxy, and with a loved one with periods of forgetfulness, they should really let the family know that a physician is coming in to see him and why. If there's any kind of medication change, they don't notify the family about that either.

The whole experience was very friendly, and they were extremely caring towards my mother. She was always kept clean and comfortable. Everyone was gracious and kind. The food she was given was high quality and tailored to what she could and couldn't swallow. I would recommend them to anybody.

Our impression of Birchwood Suites was just okay. It just didn't look as nice or as buttoned up as another place we saw, and therefore felt like less value for the dollar.

If I had to do it all over again, I would not put my loved one here again. I feel that they do not pay attention to detail like they should. They have had a lot of turnover of staff members, everyday staff and administration. We have not had a very good experience. If your family member is here, make sure to keep a close eye on them and be an advocate for them.

This facility is quite expensive for what you get here. Once we got her out of here they said it was gonna be [amount removed] a month. We were scheduling appointments and they told us they do not do bloodwork when they had done it before. I would not recommend.
