Community Reviews
Love it!
reviewed on: 12/09/2013 by Happy RelativeWe love this place! I can't think of anything negative to say about it. The staff are amazing, very loving and caring. It's a beautiful community, and from what I've heard from her the food is good! I really can't think of any way they could improve.
Fancy and Fabulous!
reviewed on: 08/29/2013 by PatriciaIt was great. It was a little bit fancier and really updated. The furnishings were really upscale and all. It was really roomy because it was out in the country. I would say that if Pennington is within reach I would say it's a fabulous place. It's right near princeton.
Positives and Negatives
reviewed on: 10/25/2013 by DaughterThey are very friendly and professional. I guess the value is good, but I don't really have anything to compare it to. The care is quite good and so are the activities. They have stuff for the brain, stuff for the body, and creative things. They have people get together over card games and other sorts of board games. They show movies often. They have outings about once a month. They have a 9:30am exercise class everyday. It's a good amount and I think the staff who run the activities are especially skilled and gifted for the job. There are a few ways they could improve. The cooking could be better. It is very salty, obviously it's not appropriate for elderly people to have such a salty diet. My mom likes the food but I would like to see more healthy choices, less sugar, less salt and more fresh vegetables. The other think I want to see is for them to develop a walking trail better than what they have now. The residents don't walk enough so they move into wheelchairs more quickly than they need to. I'd like to see something to really promote walking on a daily basis. They need a place to walk and people to walk with.
My mother has been at Brandywine for ...
reviewed on: 10/30/2013 by AmyMy mother has been at Brandywine for one week. It was difficult for her to give up her condo, but the staff has been very helpful and she seems happy. Thanks
Brandywine is Top Notch!
reviewed on: 06/07/2018 by Robin JamesonWe couldn't be happier with our decision to have our dad move into Brandywine Senior Living. The staff is attentive and caring to each individual. The residents speak highly of the staff as well and they're a great endorsement. The food is excellent and the dining staff is very professional. The activities are wonderful and the residents enjoy attending them. They paid special attention in getting our dad settled in. I highly recommend Brandywin Senior Living to anyone who wants quality care for a friend or family member.
