Brandywine Living at Longwood

My father lived at Brandywine Longwood for over nine years. When it was first decided that he wasn't able to live on his own, my Dad moved into another ALF in the area. After a year of poor care, we decided to move to Brandywine Longwood. I can honestly say that my Dad got a new lease on life. The staff, caregivers, residents, and everyone there made him feel at home from the minute we arrived. The facility always has something going on and keep the residents busy and happy throughout the day. The facility is decorated beautifully and welcoming to all from the minute you walk through the door. The staff is cheerful, caring, kind, and always with a smile on their faces. They treat everyone like family and treat the elderly with the love, respect, and dignity they so deserve. My dad has had the BEST care there and has always referred to Brandywine Longwood as 'HOME.'

rude nurses, not worth the money

As an only adult child and sole caregiver, I had the difficult decision to make of placing my mother in an assisted living facility. This occurred after a second fall that re-injured an already fractured hip. After a short stay in a different rehab facility, I was told that she was going to be discharged. I knew I could care for her after work, but she could absolutely not be able to be left alone during the day. Fortunately, I visited Brandywine Senior Living that is 2 1/2 miles away from my home. After speaking with the director of community relations and touring the facility, I was confident that this was the right choice for my mother. The staff, starting with the executive director and everyone working at Brandywine, makes me feel that mom is in the hands of caring and compassionate people who truly love working with the senior population. The nurses and caregivers are wonderful, patient, and kind. The residents are encouraged to participate in activities such as paint night, bingo, trivia games, attend nightly movies, day trips such as a Phillies game, musical entertainment, and numerous other activities. Residents like my mother, who either use a walker or wheelchair, are never left out of the fun. Family members are also invited, by personal invitation, to special events. Mom has been a resident for 6 months and my husband and I have attended a Valentine's Day Dance and a Mother's Kentucky Derby Day Brunch, both of which were catered by the chef and dining staff. To top it off, there was live entertainment at each. When I observe the interaction between the staff and residents at these events, it confirms that I made the right choice for my loved one. My mind and heart are at peace when I am at work. What more could I ask for than to know she is being treated with dignity, respect, and love by those staff members who enjoy working with the elderly.
