The most welcoming Assisted Living community

We moved our 88-year-old mother into Brandywine at the Sycamore in September. Out of all the interviews and virtual tours conducted, Brandywine gave us the best first impression. They were the most welcoming, helpful, and informative of the lot. The virtual tour made my mother feel wanted and she could see herself living there at the facility. We had heard it had a good reputation but subsequently discovered that it was the staff that were the true gems. Thanks to the staff's continued interaction and devotion, our…

Highly recommend

My brother has been in this facility for over two and a half years as a result of memory loss. For the first two years he was in assisted living. During those two years they were so accommodating to his needs, treated him warmth, dignity and respect while allowing him the freedom to live independently yet monitoring him for his safety. Due to illness and memory deterioration he recently was transfer to their memory care unit. They have been marvelous with good care , kindness and patience! The administration and n…

A Nice Place to Live!

We walked into Brandywine and knew this was the place for mom! It is decorated with taste. The staff is great! They are patient and caring with the residents! They treat the residents with respect. Mom is well fed and her medical needs are met! Her health has greatly improved since she moved into Brandywine at the Sycamore! The staff not only cares about the residents but also cares about there families. This is also a plus! The staff is great!

Family Members Can Rest Easy, Knowing Their Loved Ones are Receiving Excellent Care

Brandywine Senior Living at Sycamore has been a great blessing for our family. My dad has been there several times over the last few years for respite care when I had a conflict as his full-time caregiver. The staff has been so responsive to his specific care needs. They have been so responsive to me, always showing kindness and compassion. They have always worked with whatever would make things more comfortable for me. I am so thankful for everyone there as I can leave my dad and not have worry or concern that he …
