Monarch Communities

This is an excellent Assisted Living Facility. The interior is clean, inviting, and well-appointed. Hallways and rooms always smell fresh. Residents are able to have choice of meals and can request as much food as they want. Staff is conscientious, caring and attentive. There are numerous activities planned for every day.

My mother recently moved into Spring Meadows Trumbull and instantly became at home there. The move in for her was made smooth and painless by [name removed] who always made himself available for our questions and help. When she arrived the staff immediately started to find out her likes and dislikes to get to know her. From housekeeping to maintenance to personal care staff and nursing; they are top notch. We really appreciate you all and thank you very much for what you do.

My mother was one of the first residents to move into Brandywine several years ago. She would like to stay in her room and isolate until the activity director [name removed], came on the scene. Now my mom takes extension classes at Brandywine from Ramapo College, she goes on excursions to fun places, plays poker and blackjack twice a week with a real dealer. [Name removed] really puts such an emphasis on keeping the resident's minds busy and active. Thank you [name removed]

My mother lived at Brandywine Assisted Living in Melville, NY for almost 8 years, from age 92-99.5. I cannot say enough good things about the staff, both in the assisted living and in the memory care unit (Reflections) where she lived for her last 2 years. Kind, compassionate, professional people, all, from the nurses to the care managers to the food service workers to the janitorial staff. They made my mother's "bonus years" safe, comfortable and happy. My mother adjusted quickly and referred to Brandywine as her "castle" where she felt like the queen. Thank you for all you help and care. We will be forever grateful.

My wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer's eight years ago and entered the memory unit at Brandywine four years ago. I cannot overstate my gratitude for the loving care my wife received from the day she entered until the day she died. I visited nearly every day and was constantly impressed by the quality of care from the CNA's, the professionalism of the Nurses, and the concern and support of the administration.

My mom lived at the Savoy for 3 years. During that time, we got to know many of the staff. They are wonderful people. The care they showed really helped. A smile, knowing our names and their dedication are unsurpassed. I cannot say enough good things about the Savoy. Everyone looking in this area should check them out

Mom was very sad after dads passing. She was never quite right after that. Several years later she was diagnosed with dementia. Of course she didn't want to leave her home, but, we all knew it was time. She declined very rapidly. I was so happy I found a place that actually felt like home. The Reflections unit was perfect. She was confused and extremely sad... But Governor's brought her smile back and gave her a wonderful final year. She was treated with dignity and respect. There are simply no words to describe how grateful I am for Brandywine and the loving, caring staff at Governor's Crossing. [Name removed] has a heart of gold and went above and beyond for my mom and every one of those residents. She kept them happy and always involved. [Name removed] is a great nurse who always knows what's medically happening with all of her patients. Everyone is always smiling. Great employees, great place!

Brandywine, Howell has been a wonderful experience for my Mother in Law this past year of residence there. Every effort is made to have a new resident feel comfortable. For example placing people of similar interests at the same dining table. Encouraging your loved one to participate in activities, which there are many. The live entertainment is fabulous. The Staff is exceptional, very caring and attentive. Alzheimer Support Meetings 1X month are very helpful and informative. [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], [name removed] , [name removed], [name removed] have all been just wonderful whenever I have needed them. I am very happy with the care my Mother in Law is receiving. She is treated with dignity and respect. The most important thing to me is that she seems content, happy and secure.

My parents were living like hermits in their house, but age and too many Falls, had me find a safe, nearby place for them. My mother is making lots of friends, from residents, and staff-- it's like a family, everyone looks out for each other. The room and laundry are done for them. There is snack-time, entertainment, party nights, games during the day, day-trips. The staff and nurses work together 24/7, to ensure a safe, healthy environment. My mother always tells me "I love this place". She is no longer a Hermit, especially since she lost her husband... she has many friends now.

My mother went to Brandywine at Longwood 3 years ago and we didn't think she would be with us beyond 3 months because her health was so fragile. The staff is excellent and so attentive to the residents. My mother loves her caregivers and has a smile on her face every time we visit. The community is beautiful and very clean. My mother is in the secured memory care unit which is like another family for her. They all eat together and participate in activities together. The Reflections nurse is so caring and accessible. She communicates with my siblings and I promptly whenever we reach out to her. We know my mother is in excellent hands! I would highly recommend Brandywine for their Assisted Living and their Memory Care.

A resident at Brandywine Voorhees for almost five months, our Mom, who will be 100 in August, and although in fair health, needs the proper care and assistance, no longer has no time to sit home feeling lonely or depressed as she once did. Instead, her day is populated with an array of creative activities, entertainment, and enrichment programs in which she eagerly participates with the many new friends she has made. When I called her recently, she said, “I can’t talk now. I’m going to the movies,” as if she were a 16-year-old! My siblings and I are immensely grateful for the capable, caring, and compassionate staff at Brandywine Voorhees. Everyone, from the caregivers and nurses to the dining room servers and chef -- mom loves everything on the daily menus -- to the residents themselves, has given our Mom a sincere sense of belonging, security, and safety, not to mention love and friendship. As she said on her 2017 Christmas card, “Loving my new home at Brandywine.”

My mom has been at the Brandywine independent living facility for year and a half. I attended their holiday party. Brandywine is such a happy environment. The staff could not be lovelier. A great place for people that want to connect with like-minded people and enjoy the comforts of home without all the responsibility.

I strongly recommend Brandywine Living at Pennington, NJ for your loved one. Both the facility itself and the staff are superior. The facility is well-designed and maintained, enhancing the quality of life of the residents. The staff is very friendly and caring and goes out of their way to meet the residents' needs as well as their wants. To most of them, it is more of a mission than just a job. Brandywine also offers the residents a variety of activities on a daily basis as well as outside entertainers. I looked at a lot of places for my father before I chose this particular Brandywine and after 18 months I am confident that I made the right choice.

My dad has had a rough start here, but all the staff and management have been so good in working with us to help him. My dad fell and had to start physical therapy which they do have on site but he did end up having to go to the hospital and then had a short stay at a rehab But he is now back and they have set him up in a respite assisted living apt until he is well enough to return to his own apt in the independent living section. All of the staff here have done so much for my dad, and things are beginning to turn around for him here. He enjoys going to the dining room for his meals and he likes socializing with the other residents there. The food is good in fact I have met with the chef and was impressed with the fact that he uses fresh ingredients in his cooking, I like the food as well. I would definitely recommend this community and doing a tour here.

This is a brand new facility, and every member of the staff has been making an outstanding effort to create a feeling of "home" for all the new residents. Although residents have been moving in at a rate probably a bit slower than the facility hoped, staff has initiated a slew of resident activities and ensures that everyone gets something they enjoy. The facilities themselves are quite impressive...everything from a pub to a full movie theater. One missing thing: a lending library where residents can swap books and magazines (although staff indicated this was coming).

My parents have been there for a year. The staff is wonderful and very caring. They consistently go above and beyond to make sure everyone is happy and well cared for. I walk in and I am reminded of a glorious five star hotel!

My mother lived at the community for over a year. The community is top notch! My mother was treated with such dignity and grace by the staff. The food was impressive and the cleanliness of the community was like nothing I've ever seen. If you're looking for a homey, intimate community this is it.

Our mother has been living at Brandywine (Pennington) for three months now. After our father unexpectedly passed away, she had an abrupt change in her life which included moving into assisted living. The staff and residents welcomed her with open arms. It is truly an impressive place, noticeable in the lobby area when first entering. The facility is kept very clean and the staff is quite attentive. The Brandywine staff works well with our family and they are responsive to our input and observations. The food is excellent and the dining room elegant, with a staff of waiters taking orders, serving, and offering desserts. Plenty of varied activities for those who wish to participate, ranging from exercise classes, arts and crafts, bingo, etc. Bottom line – though our mother misses our father dearly, she is happy at Brandywine and well taken care of. This move was the definitely the right choice with no regrets.

There are a lot of windows and natural light coming in and there is a homey feel to this community. It feels like an old victorian hotel resort. There are a lot of sitting areas for the residents and their families. They have a fireplace. They offer daily activities. The dining hall is set up like a restaurant and they offer a variety of food choices. They offer a separate locked community for memory care.

This community has on site doctors. My loved one is in the memory care unit on the third floor. The staff are nice and helpful. They are good at keeping in contact with me about my loved ones care. The community is clean and they offer daily activities. You are charged for extra services. I felt comfortable here as I was introduced to the entire staff during my tour.
