PositiveHappy with our choice
Overall, my mother-in-law is extremely happy there. The staff is fantastic. Her room is beautiful and kept very clean. The nursing staff is also excellent.

PositiveWould recommend
The room is lovely, staff is amazing, [name removed] was great to work with. It was a bumpy road getting her there and she was very patient and helpful.

All in all I'm very happy with Brandywine. My MIL loves it, made friends instantly, is busier than she's been in years. And I sleep well knowing she is safe and happy.

The management team has been there every step of the way and their sales director Julie has been beyond helpful. Her compassion for the residents is so plain to see. I hesitated on my decision on whether or not to keep my mom with …

PositiveGreat Location, Even better Staff
Pleased with Brandywine for my mom's recent move. [name removed] and [name removed] made the process very easy to transition my mom from rehab into their community.
