Dining

We recognise that mealtimes are a focal part of anyones day. Nutritional well-being is vital to maintaining a healthy mind and body. Our regularly reviewed menus with resident input, provide a well-balanced nutritious choice of food which also caters for people who require special diets. There is also an alternative menu available just in case people would like a change. Drinks, snacks and nibbles including fruit are available through the day and the night. We welcome residents who like to bake, cook or help themselves whenever they would like. We can also cater for parties and celebrations for residents, and their families and friends.

" Another visit to see my mam, this has been her home for over 6 years. The hairdresser was doing my mam's hair when I arrived. Lovely homely feel to the home with the smell of home cooking! All areas are bright, clean and most importantly, the service users are well cared for by the amazing care team. [...]I am so thankful that my mam is so well cared for and would definitely recommend Briardene. "

MANAGER

Kim Chambers

We are delighted to introduce Kim Chambers as Home Manager at Briardene. Kim has been an integral part of the Mariposa Care team for a number of years, most recently in her role as Regional Manager – which she has chosen to step away from in order to commit herself full time to Briardene. Kim is an exceptional manager and we are confident the home will excel under her leadership.
