My godmother was fortunate enough to live here for close to a decade. I have never seen such a caring group of individuals in my life. Staff in every department have gone way above and beyond job expectations to make her feel loved, and a part of the community. The catered to her food tastes, her personal needs, her interests and abilities. When she needed headbands, after surgery, various staff members purchased them and gifted them to her. The personal care aides would buy her little gifts, like chip clips, if they saw that she needed something. The staff from the escapades department took the time to take pictures of her at various activities, and email them to me. These small acts of kindness are the norm. This facility has a truly positive, respectful culture. I am filled with gratitude to them for ensuring that her final years were as good as they could be.

The idea of moving from her home and into an assisted living facility was a prospect our mother always dreaded. However when her health declined she acknowledged the necessity. After visiting several facilities we all agreed Brandywine seemed the best choice. My wife pointed out that Brandywine didn't have 'that smell' as we walked in the hallways. Brandywine was willing to let us move Mom in on a trial basis for a few months, to test the fit. It's now been almost three years that Mom has lived there. The facility is just as clean and the staff just as friendly & accommodating as the first time we visited. With very few exceptions I've found their staff to be attentive & professional while caring for my mother. The few concerns we've had were always resolved quickly. I highly recommend the Brandywine in Dresher facility. David Chernow

Zero stars for Reflections, the memory 'care' unit. If you want you loved one sitting in her own urine for hours on end, this is the place for you. Recreation staff and a few nurses are great. Aides are overworked and poorly trained in dementia, how to talk to residents, and how to assist people who may be difficult or have special needs due to their disease. People's clothes aren't protected at meals by simple things like bibs and residents are often left hours on end without any interaction or stimulation. A resident can be calling out 'I'm scared' and will be ignored rather than comforted. They paint a pretty picture and it 'looks good' from time to time but if you spend a few hours there especially when the rec staff aren't around, you will see how it really is. The will listen to your concerns, make promises and NOTHING changes. Beware Brandywine!!

My mom relocated to Brandywine 3 months ago and the transition has been a smooth one. The staff are respectful, friendly and professional. I found the concierge staff resourceful, maintenance personnel efficient, activities ladies outgoing, beautician flexible and kind, dining staff patient and nurses very organized and caring.

Both of my 90+ year old parents have been residents of Brandywine Living at Dresher Estates since July, 2016. The transition was extremely easy. My parents were offered a 1 month respite trial. The decision to move permanently was made within 2 weeks. Some of my parents' quotes: 'We are very happy here.' 'We are always busy.' 'There is so much to do here.' 'Rachel [Escapades Producer] is so wonderful!' 'The nurses are so helpful.' 'Living here is very comfortable.'
