liked location and staff and small, cozy feel of the place

Liked the independent living apartments. We were really pleased with that.

love it...will try to come up with money if we can!

Impressive place. Very clean. Executive Director knew all staff we saw and had a good word for all. She also knew all residents and engaged them. I would be happy to place her here.

Seriously considering.

met with Director. nice spot in Linwood, small. employee turnover low. 24 hour nurse makes it easier to qualify for LT insurance. Might have spot for respit.

Smaller facility 75 + 25 in Memory area - loved everything and everyone at Brandywine.

Very much liked this one. Will be the first one I contact when the situation is right.

The home is lovely. I was very pleased with it. They take VA benefits and that was helpful to hear.

Great place but cost out of our range

This place is top of the line in clean and festive. People were up early Sunday at the beauty shop and hanging around. A little too far and more expensive.

What stood out the most is how friendly the staff and residents are to everyone. And how clean everything is. There are many activities daily.

Quality of care is excellent. Room sizes vary. My sister's room is large. Others are smaller. Activities are fair. They have a guitar player come in several times a week and the staff also keeps them involved in games.

All of the staff members are very nice and the community is kept very clean. The community is fairly close in location to us, and everything is open all of the time which we like. Our loved one is not able to participate in the activities, but what we have seen they seem fine and they do offer plenty. The value for cost is about the same as other communities and overall we have been pretty pleased.

I would say to look into Bella Terra. My loved one waited to long to go there, and I think she would've been happier if she went sooner. I thought the food was good to better than good. The apartment that my loved one lived in was nice, spacious, and beautiful.

The times I have been there, the pace is clean and the staff are friendly. During the Covid-19 pandemic, they did a good job with keeping the residents safe. Overall, they are very good with keeping our family informed of my sisters care, which was important to us. They do seem to have a lot of activities available and my sister seems to enjoy them.

My mom has been a resident at Brandywine for over five years. Several factors have contributed to the value of assisted living at Brandywine. First, the Executive Director is passionate about care. She is instrumental in her dedication to all residents, plus she has remained in her position for a long time. Her staff, from the 24x7 nurse staff, the dining staff, and the activities staff all pride themselves on providing excellent care and service. Their communication skills in good times and in bad always give me a sense of comfort thus giving me "peace of mind', which is priceless. Throughout my mom's residency at Brandywine, I have gotten to know most of the staff (especially the nurses) on a first name basis. They are second to none...they care by the always needed communication and concern they provide! The activities staff makes life entertaining...with Bingo, Music, Dancing, Games, Manicures,etc. Having not just word of mouth but constantly showing that you care day in and day out separates this location and for that I am truly thankful!

I am very happy with the care my parent is given here. Most of the aides are there for you...As in any situation, you have to be on top of things but for the most part all is well. My parent does have a hard time with vision and I wish the staff would help with their meal choices because lunches and dinners are always the same.
