Monarch Communities

Putting Dad in an assisted living facility was not an easy decision at all. [name removed] met with my sister and I and gave us a tour of both The Gables and Reflections and I was amazed she knew all the residents we came across by name. She greeted us with a smile, was very welcoming and answered all of our many questions. He has been a resident for six months now and we couldn't be happier with our choice. First impressions are everything and [name removed] made an excellent impression on behalf of Brandywine!

Excellent care for my loved one. Wonderful staff, lots of activities, restaurant quality meals and more. Highly recommend!

We have both been so impressed with the staff we have met at the hearth while deciding on a new living facility! [name removed] has been so pleasant and very informative. She is a very n ice person. [name removed] (in the dining room) made us feel so welcome. [name removed] shared very valuable information about the hearth.

They were so helpful. The community is very clean and my uncle is looking forward to moving. The process was made easy as they walked through each step with us.

Beautiful Facility Great Staff Best Care Family like environment

My mother in law had a life changing event about a year ago. She moved here from out of state and was living with us for a while and it was difficult for her. We looked at several places and decided on Brandywine Living. It was the best decision we ever made! The place is first class, welcoming and clean with a very friendly and caring staff. They have great food, have laundry services and lots of activities for the mind, body and spirit. She is happier than she has been in years! My sister in law said it's like she's on a permanent cruise vacation! And the best part, since she's happy, we're happy. We appreciate this place more than we can say.

My mother had to be moved here temporarily because of damage at her home location. It was a wonderful experience. [name removed] and the staff were fantastic. The rooms are very large. And my mother enjoyed the residents. If you want an assisted living facility that is top notch, this is a place to be.

My mom was a resident the last year of her life. The care was extraordinary. The staff has continual smiles on their faces and always willing to help. The medical care is attentive, prompt and any issues immediately communicated to me. When my mom was sick the staff always looked in on her and called me with any new recommendations. My mom made a few friends at the home and enjoyed their company. Her unit was always clean. I trusted all the staff in this facility and when I was away, I knew my mom was in good hands.

caring staff led us every step of the way through preadmission/admission day to help make my father's transition as smooth as possible and to provide emotional support to my family. Everyone on the staff helped to make my father feel welcomed and engaged in his new sorroundings, our frequent visits and calls were always met with reassurance and caring concern. The facility is beautiful. "homey" and bright, immaculately clean and neat. The food is very good. From the administrator on down, the entire staff is to be commended for knowing all residents names and treating them like members of their own family as well as always being available to address a family's concerns.

I will be moving to the Hearth at Southbury. The people there have been very helpful and have taken the time to meet with me and explain everything. I am looking forward to the the help that will be able to provide to me. I know I will feel safe at the hearth.

[name removed] was very helpful during my search for assited living for my father. She went out of her way to help me with so many things even after she knew that Dad needed a higher level of care than he could receive at Spring Meadows. I only wish I could have had Dad live there

I enjoy everything, great food, lots going on all the time, great location so I can go for walks outside, I feel safe and most of all everyone is so friendly.

Dementia affects everyone differently. My Mother was upset by her loss of time and place, reclusive, and frequently in tears until she moved to Brandywine. Thanks to the highly skilled and well trained caregivers who immediately established a rapport with her, she settled into a routine that calmed her, reassured her and comforted her. The tears went away. She trusted her caregivers to guide her through the day. She was soon participating in many activities - morning exercise class, jewelry making, even painting. She never missed the weekly social with live entertainment and enjoyed the music. The entire staff is dedicated to providing high quality resident care. They always made time to discuss Mom’s needs and address any of our concerns. Traveling even a short distance was difficult for Mom. At Brandywine everything she needed was on site. Her doctor visited Brandywine weekly and saw residents as needed. A podiatrist made monthly rounds.The mobile dentist brought a fully equipped office on site, providing excellent, affordable care. Many diagnostic and medical tests could be done on site. Even banking and boutique shopping was available. If you want the best possible care for your loved one, explore Brandywine. Life there is beautiful.

Visited over Holiday although renovations are in progress place clean Activities could be better Food is Fantastic Great to see New Nurses so Friendly helpful and Caring Gives you a sense of peace to know your grandmother is cared for

We love it! Mom was joining in activities the day we came to sign her lease. We were welcomed with such hospitality from everyone. We know mom is going to be safe and live a social life at The Hearth At Southbury .

We needed to move mom quickly and had heard from our attorney and people in town that The Hearth At Southbury was a special place; and boy were they right [Removed] were so helpful we are looking forward to mom’s move.

My Mom lives in the memory care at this community and I couldn't be happier with the progress she has made and the way she is doing. She was living home with an aid prior to moving in and was so lonely and miserable that it made me cry on a daily basis. Moving her into this community was the best decision I ever made even though getting her to move was not the easiest process. She was very resistant and the first few days were rough but the staff was great and helped her feel at home. 3 months later she is now happier than I have seen her in a while and she has made friends and is participating in activities that I never thought she would have. There is nothing more in the world that would make me happier than the smile I now see on my mom's face when I visit her here.

I was very nervous about moving my mom to assisted living. It was a waste of time to worry because Brandywine residence is perfect for my mom. The staff are very attentive and loving to all the residents. There are many activities to keep busy or just relax by the fireplace. This has been a great experience.

Sorry to say [Removed] got a rocky start, but everyone was very accommodating. She is very happy here now and the family is at ease now knowing our loved one is in friendly and loving care. She’s very happy and consider Brandy Wine home, so we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We were pleasantly surprised. The building is older but the interior is light, airy and well maintained. [Removed] was very personable. He never rushed us through, answered all of our questions and concerns and introduced us to staff and residents.
