Brandywine Pennington

The staff, especially take-in counselor [name removed]. Entire staff open and responsive. The environs - clean and beautiful. The food - very good. It's a well run operation - the first place I've ever thought I could be happy living there myself.

The people at Brandywine Pennington are AMAZING!

My mother passed away at Brandywine last month. The decisions you are facing now about the care of a loved one are difficult and life-changing ones. It is with great gratitude that share my experiences with Brandywine at Pennington to assist you. This is the third review I have written over many years. Hard to believe it has been 8 years since mother moved into her one-bedroom suite at Brandywine. In my first review I comment on what a lovely facility, with many activities, and great food. I talked about the diffi…

Review at Brandywine at Pennington

Our family, including our mom, are very pleased with the facilities, activities, and level of care the professionals at Brandywine in Pennington have provided. We initially registered our mom for a respite stay, but after one week she wanted to stay there permanently. Our mom was was hesitant to stay there, but the staff did an outstanding job of making her feel welcomed and comfortable. We see our mom on a weekly basis and she loves to discuss the activities and events she they had.

Brandywine Living at Pennington

The Brandywine Living at Pennington staff was instrumental in gifts of time and information prior to residency, along with a firm commitment towards mom's comfort and needs after her moving into the facility. Personal, medical, and social attention are given to Mom on a daily basis. Elderly care guidance is readily available to the family. Brandywine offers a "home" environment in its neighborhood, and the staff indeed ARE extended family to the residents. Thank you! Joylene M. (Family member)

My father was given an assessment before being admitted. He had to be put into the memory unit and they took very good care of him. They do a lot for the residents to keep them as active as they can tolerate.
