I really love this facility for my mom. The staff is wonderful and caring, and the facility is kept clean. I have never noticed any unpleasant odors.

My father-in-law received excellent care and attention from the nurses and aides, and he loved the food. It was his second stay in a nursing home and Birchwood was far superior.

While most long term care facilities struggle to recruit and retain staff, Birchwood has many nurses, aides, and administrative staff who have been there forever and take pride in caring for their residents.

My mother was recently a resident at Birchwood. I wanted to post this review as I know the hesitation most feel when we have to place a loved one in a nursing home. There are so many stories about bad nursing homes that we start to think that there aren't any good ones. Thank goodness I was referred to Birchwood which I found to be a very trustworthy facility. Trustworthy is a HUGE word when you're leaving the care of a loved one in the hands of others. The employees at Birchwood treated my mother like family and my mother appreciated it. The office staff and Director for the facility are just as focused on the care of their residents. I can't thank them enough for the peace they provided my mom and I during her final time on this earth. Thank you.
