Monarch Communities

The staff here is very responsive to any request you may have and there is always someone available if you need them. The community is very clean and well maintained. It is a very difficult decision to make and it take a lot of adjusting the staff has been very accommodating and has made the adjustment period a little easier. If you have an issue, bring it up to the staff and they are happy to work with you and see if it is a something they need to permanent change. We would recommend you ask lots of financial question and ensure you are understand of all charges so that you are not surprised when the bill arrives. Studios are about $5,000 and they recommend you bring as much from home and you want just to give it a home like feeling.

Very comfortable, clean environment. Feel my Mom would ease into this choice for her next home easily. Again concerned that monthly income is just over medicaid maximum and not enough to maintain her here forever.....when ran out of asset monies would have to find another home.

From the moment you walk in to Brandywine, you get a warm, homey feeling. It is a combination of the place and the people. Not only do all the staff greet you, and know all residents by name, but the residents come over to talk to you and welcome you to their home. There are a variety of apartments to meet the needs of both individuals and couples. The dining room is lovely and the food selection is varied and again offers something for everybody. They have a very nice selection on a menu that is always available, and then daily selections. My family member will be moving in this week, but we have been there multiple times in the planning, and the staff, particularly Susan Cohen, has been supportive, helpful, but not pushy - just the right amount of help and encouragement.

The place is very cheerful, clean and everyone is extremely pleasant and friendly. More importantly, the residents are happy living there. They have activities all the time and the staff do their best to involve the residents whenever possible. The location is much closer to my home which is important to me. The facility is so nice I could live there...you don't cook, clean, do laundry. It's a permanent vacation! I would heartily recommend Brandywine at Seaside Pointe.

Definitely in the running.

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.

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!
