Monarch Communities

Outstanding! Fully informed and transparent. Friendly and courteous. Perfecto!

I have been a resident at Brandywine Senior Living at Mahwah for almost a year.  I am very happy and comfortable here and I am pleased I made the decision to move here.  My apartment is spacious and well-appointed, with amenities I did not find elsewhere, such as a large bathroom with handicapped-accessible fixtures.  The bedroom is roomy with adequate closet space.  The furniture that I brought with me works nicely in the living space. The building boasts a therapy pool, well-appointed activity rooms, a large theater, and a tap room for refreshments.  Heating and cooling is comfortable and very reliable.  A powerful generator backs up the power in the building in case of an outage, and provides a steady internet signal throughout the building.  The dining experience is good, with tasty meals and snacks available all day.  A full schedule of activities and entertainment is outlined in a daily schedule.  Finally I must comment on the competent and very caring staff.  They provide a high level of care day and night and assistance is always a push of a button away.

My family has had a wonderful experience with Brandywine Senior Living at Seaside Pointe. My uncle, who suffers from Alzheimer's, is being so well cared for there. My dear Aunt has spent the last couple years researching her options, worrying about every detail of his future. The staff at Brandywine, especially Heidi, have held her hand and made the transition as smooth as we could have possibly hoped for. Once he moved in, the only thing left for my Aunt to do was wonder how he was doing when she wasn't there...but Heidi has even helped her with that by communicating frequent updates on how well he is settling in. The staff has learned his habits so quickly and during visits it's been obvious that he is safe and cared about. My aunt has finally been able to relax after all these years.

Where did nine years go? If the time passed by so quickly it must have meant that the experience at Brandywine Moorestown Estates was a good one. It was much more than that. It was an extraordinary outpouring of caring and affection for another human being that we have never seen before. It was not only directed to our mother/mother in-law, but to all of the residents. Both of us have witnessed this in Assisted Living, Skills, and Reflections. How do you have one hundred percent of your staff come to work everyday with a positive attitude and a smile on their face? We know that people have had bad days when they come to work but, the staff at Brandywine never displayed anything but love. One new hire after another had proven to be an outstanding choice. We marveled at your vetting practice, for new employees, for a number of years. We finally found the answer. We saw your employment ad. It ended with, Only Angels Need Apply.

I have been an ambulette driver for 15 years and transporting people all over the NJ and NY area. In my 15 years of transporting different people to different facilities, I have never been so amazed by a welcoming from a facility. Yesterday transport to The Fountains for a couple moving in blew me away. Truly the most professional and best welcoming I have ever seen in all my 15 years on the job! I would highly recommend The Fountains to anyone in search.

Beautiful community and very friendly environment.I look forward to my mother.living out her elder years here knowing she has everything.She needs right here.This brings great peace of mind to myself and the rest of her family

COZY & INVITING-ASST/INDEPENDENT LIVING FACILITY.IT HAS EVERYTHING MY MOTHER WILL NEED TO LEAD &SAFE,COMFORTABLE LIFE FEELS LIKE A NICE CRUISE SHIP WITH ALL THE AMENITIES.RESIDENTS SEEM HAPPY & ACTIVE.STAFF IS SO HELPFUL & NICE.I'M EXCITED FOR MOM TO LIVE THERE

It’s Hard to watch one of your parents deteriorate and lose their will to go on with life. My mom was a vibrant fun loving woman who was very active. Now she has severe arthritis in her knees. Due to this she didn’t want to leave her home and refused to use any walking aids. I was at wits end. My sister did some research and found the Fountains at RiverVue. I checked it out extensively and said this is the place for mom, now to convince her was my next step. I brought her here and they accepted her with open arms. She Immediately liked it. She is now a permanent resident of 3 years and flourishing like a butterfly out of a cocoon. The residents/neighbors are her new found friends. The Staff is beyond compare. She raves about them and so do I. They are very caring and sympathetic to everyone’s needs and most importantly they are sincere. I couldn’t ask for a better place for my mom. Thank you Fountains staff, We Love You!.

I recently moved into the Fountains at Rivervue from another community. I moved because I was looking for more activities and programs. Not to mention the food is fabulous here. I can tell you my experience has been wonderful and the service from all the staff is more than I could have expected. I enjoy morning exercise every day along with an array of Watermark University Classes. I have joined the activity committee apart of the resident council. What I love the most is if I ask a question to anyone of the staff or Directors, I am given an answer and in a promptly fashion. I am glad I made the decision to move and couldn't be happier.

They are wonderful and we used them 8 years ago for my dad. It is a small community but they still had caregivers from 8 years ago. The nurse had helped me greatly and they go over and beyond to get him back to the way he was. They influence activities rather than sitting in their rooms. The staff know us and can always tell us where he is at when visiting. Within 2 weeks they contacted me and told me that he does not need the level of care we are paying for. The cost was cut down in half and they have been working with us. I would recommend my friends to them.

I really enjoyed the tour at this community. The people and the residents were super friendly and helpful on the tour. All of the staff tried so hard to make things work for us. The reason we did not go forward was that the building was dark and small. The people just weren't active.

The staff that comes in and takes care of my loved one is awesome. They are a delight and wonderful with my loved one. They take care of everything and they do extra if needed. I would definitely recommend it to others.

My Aunt has been a resident of the Fountains at Rivervue for 2 years now. She came from living by herself in a large private home and was very worried about making the change to a small apartment & hotel type residence. She adjusted very well & in the first month to our surprise. My aunt enjoys the company of others & the great social programs, activities, Classes, music, lectures, food & Jewish culture.etc) available to her on a daily basis. We the family love the fountains crew who are always caring, attentive and friendly. We all feel good knowing that our aunt is cared for in a active, safe, clean & nurturing environment with a great spirit. We can all sleep a lot better because of them...Thank you!

Very Impressed with everything I saw

accomodating and concerned with the consumers well being

The Gables at Brandywine is excellent in all aspects of care and care. To clarify, the care and attention they give the residents is outstanding and they truly care about their residents. It's very much a family. Our mother has been there now for two years and the staff could not be more attentive, professional and caring. The events they hold, activities and movies (our mom's favorite) in a real theater like setting are all top notch. The staff from the management to the nurses to the receptionists who greet you to the servers to the aides are all one nicer and more caring than the next. It is a well run, well kept facility and allows for a warmth not seen at many places. We are grateful to have our Mom there and all the worries we had about her being taken care of are no longer there. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an assisted living for themselves or a family member!

I recently toured this facility for my loved one. I was taken to the 'memory care' by Pat. She was very helpful and so kind. I have been to many other facilities and this, by far, is the most home like environment I could hope for. I was introduced to Karen the 'memory care director' and was impressed with her caring attitude and understanding of my situation. The staff were all very friendly and seemed to interact with the people. I really liked the fact that all the people were dressed nicely and seemed to be enjoying themselves. I am definitely considering Bella Terra's 'memory care'.

Mom is enjoying living at Bella Terra. The staff are nice and outgoing. Her apartment is nice and she likes the daily activities and entertainment. They keep the community clean. I would recommend this community. She likes the food.

There aren't enough stars to express the wonderful care my mom is receiving. She suffers from dementia and requires constant care. Bless the care givers for all of their loving service. The beautiful surroundings help to make our visits pleasant. Mom always expresses how beautiful the flowers are
