Where do I start with Brandywine at Toms River? I have to start with that this place makes you feel like a part of the family! The staff know my name and who I am here to see as soon as I walk in the door. I have visited other family members in different Assisted Livings and toured a lot of different Assisted Livings and nothing has come close to Brandywine! The building is immaculate and feels like more of a hotel/home rather than a hospital type setting. My grandmother loves her apartment, the food, and activities and well just about everything, I could go on for days. She loves her personal care aids and nurses that take extra special care of her and I can see that they love her back. I never have to worry about my grandma which gives me the greatest feeling of relief! The nurses always reach out to me if there is any issues with my grandma or even if she is just having a bad day and think she could use a visitor. And visitors are welcome 24 hours a day which is extra important for me since I work long days. All in all, If you move your loved one here I promise you will not regret it! Thank you Brandywine for all you do!!! Also I must add, to anyone truly invested in finding their loved one a new home please do not take any negative reviews that have been posted into consideration. Do your own research and see Brandywine for yourself. These negative reviews do no not reflect what Brandywine represents, the other positive ones I have read I can relate with very well. Brandywine is a 5 star facility and it is truly a shame to see these negative reviews bring down their rating

Beautiful community! Can't beat the amenities and caring staff!

Like a symphony orchestra Brandywine is made up of sections. To make beautiful music there must be a perfect director and that is what we have in Mariola. A competent, intelligent, personable and caring leader who whom we care. She leads a great team here made up of many sections which makes living here so enjoyable! Just like an orchestra that creates beautiful music.

Excellent facility Personable and attentive staff Excellent care Excellent food Super cleanly Amazing and fun activities Lots of engagement and types too!

Words fail me to describe how content I am here. Hotel type building, fine dining, large menu choices, three sittings per day, spotlessly clean, spacious rooms, weekly linen changes, staff very attentive to resident, friendly residents, good companionship, regular entertainment, weekly trips to stores, museums, church etc, Staff drivers to doctors. These are benefits to living at Brandywine. As a resident I could not be happier.

Brandywine in Litchfield is truly an amazing place. It's the people who work there and the people who live there that make it so wonderful. The staff (administration, aides, nursing, events coordinator, dining staff; all staff!) treat residents like their family. It has to be one of the best in the country. My mother is extremely happy there. I would recommend it to anyone.

I loved coming here to spend time with my grandmother. I watched movies with her and we ate snacks on the porch and sometimes I ate lunch with her. This is a very nice place and I recommend it to everybody. I am 9.

[Name removed] was lovely, gave an excellent tour and is clearly loved by the residents. The facility is clean and warm.

I never fill these out but we are overwhelmed with this community. My mother is happy and involved. The food is great as well as the activities! The nurses are so attentive to my mom! Cannot recommend more highly!

Great facility. My mom is very happy there.

I just had to write to say "god bless" Brandywine Living a the Gables. It is truly a special place! My mother has been there about a month, and could not be happier! The facility is beautiful and well laid-out. All of the staff members are outstanding. The residents are extremely well cared for, and treated with kindness, respect, and compassion. And my mother loves the amenities and activities. I must say - I am a little jealous!

Brandywine worked with my brother and I to settle in mom without too much stress for her or the family . the food was good and services fun and Mom interacted ,,,,,, Her time at Brandywine Linwood was happy for her and I thank them for that ,,,,,

We really enjoyed visiting Bella Terra. We think it would be the perfect place for our aunt. We are working on setting up a time for our aunt to visit.

Dear [name removed]: I am an old friend of one of your current residents. In June my wife and I drove down from our home in New Hampshire to say "Goodbye" to my dear friend of 70 years. I found your facility to be everything I would expect from a high-end assisted care, right down to the player piano in the lobby. Your grounds, interior and welcoming staff made us feel at home. The main reason for this Thank You letter is to commend [name removed], one of your staff on duty the day we came. She was delightful, bringing us up in the elevator to our friend's room on the third floor in memory care. After connecting us with our friend, she was gracious enough to provide these weary travelers with a hot cup of coffee and some cookies, (which was very much appreciated) while we visited. [Name removed] said he really likes her and they often banter back and forth in a positive way. Your [name removed] is a gem. Our friend is happy with his surroundings and realizes his time on earth is limited. He accepts that fact, and seems grateful for being in your care. Thank you for taking care of our good friend in his greatest time of need. And, a special thanks to [name removed] for her wonderful spirit and hospitality. Sincerely, [Name removed]

Amazing... What a beautiful place. Definitely the top of the line residence that I have researched. Not only clean and comfortable but well run. Spoke with many of the residents and the incredible staff, found everyone happy. Special kudos to [name removed]. Thank you for your help and understanding.

We always felt our mother was in excellent hands. It was pleasant to visit her in such a beautiful facility with such a nice atmosphere.

So happy mom spent her last years here. Her care was wonderful. We never had to worry.

Facility is always clean and workers always happy to help with care. I would definitely have my loved one come to this community.

The staff display an engaged, caring attitude toward the residents

The residence (both common areas and private rooms) are always clean and neat, as well as decorated for the season. The staff are always caring, attentive and friendly. Peripheral services are made available as needed. Hair dresser, doctor, dentist and PT. We are very confident we made a good choice.
