Secure Wing for Seniors

Personalized Support

Personalized Support in a Safe and Structured Setting

For years, SweetBriar has helped families in Dunbar, WV find the right senior living support through compassionate care, experienced staff, and a close-knit community.

Our Secure Wing provides specialized care in a calm, structured environment for residents with cognitive challenges. With 24/7 on-site nursing and personalized care plans, each resident receives support tailored to their needs, promoting both safety and comfort. This intimate setting encourages connection, reduces confusion, and creates a sense of familiarity for residents and peace of mind for families.

Our team is specially trained to support each resident’s unique strengths and evolving needs. As care needs change, we adjust plans to provide the right level of support—whether that means continued care in our secure setting or exploring options like our assisted living community for those who may benefit from a more independent environment.

“I know without a doubt that mom was given more time on this earth because of the care she received at Sweet Briar”

I cannot commend you and your staff enough for the work that you do. You go above and beyond in so many ways to care for each resident. I was so amazed with the extent each caregiver would go through to care for each resident. My mom was feisty and funny, and she could be a force to be reckoned with, but she knew that she was being cared for and could depend on each of you.

I know without a doubt that mom was given more time on this earth because of the care she received at SweetBriar. So, thank you for continuing to care for her, even when it became difficult. I know that the last 20 months I had with her was a gift. And I am forever grateful for each of you.
