New Lease on Life
reviewed on: 02/24/2015 by IvyMy mom is a recent resident of Brandywine at Mountain Ridge. She's lived there for about a month in a one-bedroom apartment, and my husband and I cannot get over the positive change in her. She was feeling rather hopeless and depressed and uninterested in doing things before her move to Brandywine. She was having trouble walking (with a walker) and uninterested in doing exercises to mitigate the problem. Well, one month later mom is wearing her nicest clothes and pretty earrings and make-up and moving around the halls on her walker like a pro. We're amazed at her progress. It's the staff, who make everyone feel like family and go a long way toward integrating each new member into the community. Mom's made some new friends and really enjoys after-lunch bingo, especially when she wins. She's hardly ever in her apartment. Worth the cost and the 45-minute distance from where my husband and I live. We are very grateful that mom is becoming more like the person she was when she was working (at 80). She's nearly 85 now and has the start of a new lease on life, which is exactly what we wanted for her.

Brandywine is a wonderful place!
reviewed on: 07/17/2018 by SueI feel so blessed that I found Brandywine at Mountain Ridge for my cousin Anita. A friend had recommended it to me, and from the first time that I visited, I knew it was the right place for Anita. Brandywine is a very special place. The administration has developed a strong, caring culture and that every staff member embodies. Everyone that works there from the administrators, nurses and aides to the housekeepers, maintenance and the dining staff are very knowledgeable, loving and caring. Anita lived at Brandywine for four years and from the day she arrived, she began to look, feel and act younger with every day. After living isolated at home by herself for many years, she finally had a chance to meet some good friends and enjoy their companionship. Anita loved the musical, art and crafting activities and above all, loved the food, especially the desserts. I am forever grateful to everyone at Brandywine who took such wonderful care of Anita. And a special thank you to Paula, Nicole and Alison, thank you for all of the help and guidance you gave to me.
Like a top of the line hotel!
reviewed on: 12/12/2013 by SonThis place has been phenomenal so far! It's amazingly clean, and there was no smell, which I noticed can be a problem in these places. It really is like a beautiful, modern, top of the line hotel. It was heads and tails about any of the others we looked at. The staff are caring and really on the ball about keeping an eye out for my Mom. The residents seemed happy, and most are out socializing when I have visited. If I could give the activities 10 stars out of 5 I would! They've got a card room, billiards room, movie theater, beauty parlor, really anything they could need!
