- Respite Care
- Temporary Care With Long-Term Benefits
Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s is a demanding role. For caregivers who need some time to run errands, take care of their own health needs, or just need a break to rejuvenate, Briar Glen provides the same compassionate care to our temporary residents as those who call us their home. Arranged into private, shared and semiprivate accommodations, our assisted living environment and caring staff provide meaningful moments to each resident. If you loved one needs a temporary home while recovering from an injury or hospitalization, we assist families through the recovery process and allow for caregiver relief. We are committed to honoring the experience of aging by ensuring that each resident’s life story is incorporated into their individual respite care design.

Memory Care Features
Hoover's Most Compassionate Memory Care
At Briar Glen, we keep the emotional needs and feelings of your loved one at the very center of what we do. Our Meaningful Moments® program incorporates past patterns and routines into the life of each resident to ensure the highest quality of life possible. This exclusive program is specifically designed to help meet the needs of residents with memory loss. We start by gathering the life story of each individual by learning about preferences, likes, dislikes and cherished memories. Adding details and preferences from the residents' life stories into their day we can build comfort and a sense of meaning for each resident. The result is a familiar atmosphere for your loved one to enjoy.
