Monarch Communities

I toured this community for my mom due to being close to my home. I found the staff to be very nice and very helpful. I did not see any activities for my mom to participate in. This community is clean and the staff are nice. The food seemed to be appealing. I would recommend this community for families to see if this community would fit there needs.

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

Brandywine Living At Haverford Estates, 731 Old Buck Ln, Haverford, PA 19041 is the perfect solution for my Mom. This beautiful estate truly provides a home atmosphere without the clinical feel. The Executive Director's outstanding leadership, Wellness Director's exceptional care with Licensed nurses ON-SITE (not on-call) 24/7, fun activities daily provided, delicious and nutritious food options (available all day), and the charming personality of the Director of Community Relations have exceeded my expectations. My Mom loves this place! [Removed]

My Uncle was a resident of Brandywine Voorhees for 2 1/2 years. We just lost him on Saturday evening. There is no other place we would have wanted him during this time. He suffered from Parkinson's and Lewy Bodies Dementia, which is a very fast progressing dementia that takes all capabilities and dignity away from a person. BW was the most caring, loving and well staffed facility we have ever dealt with. And we have dealt with many. There are no words to thank those members of their staff and to let all reading this know how professional and wonderful they are. If you are looking for a facility that will not only care for your loved one, but also you as a family, this is the place you want to go. They are a FIVE STAR group all the way!!!

Our mother has blossomed since her arrival at Brandywine in Howell. She has lived there for almost two years and my brother and I are so grateful for the compassionate, caring and nurturing staff members. The attention and genuine concern from the caregivers and nurses have given our mother a tremendous sense of belonging and security. At her times of ill health, the staff cared for her in a proficient manner. We are so relieved to know that she is safe and not alone. Everyone working at Brandywine goes above and beyond their sense of duty to help our mother maintain her dignity as an individual, while enjoying the comforts of home in the "family atmosphere." We appreciate the open communication from administrators, which also encourages us to be connected. That "family atmosphere" is a reflection of the wonderful people who work at Brandywine. The facility is so beautiful, elegant, and well cared for, our mother is proud to live there. She enjoys the fun events, daily activities, and variety of entertainment. Spending time with friends she has made, playing Bingo, and walking in the beautiful patio area are her favorite pastimes. She says there is always something to do. Living within the community setting at Brandywine has brought forth the best in our mother. Even her sense of humor has re-emerged. We feel that years have been added to her life since moving to Brandywine. For that we are very grateful. We can not thank everyone at Brandywine enough for giving our mother a positive, fulfilling, and "loving" living experience. She calls Brandywine "home."

My father spent the last three years of his life living at Brandywine Assisted Living in Howell, N.J. When he first arrived he was recovering from a four -month stay in the hospital and an acute care rehab facility. He was confined to a wheel chair and was suffering from dementia. He was initially placed in the Reflections unit on the third floor. He received wonderful care from the nurses and aides and within three months he was walking with a walker and was dementia free. He was then transferred to the first floor with the general population. My father’s gregarious and outgoing personality returned and this is where he thrived. He made many new friends among the residents and staff. The nurses and aides were all very attentive and patient with all of his needs. He received physical and occupational therapy and he became more self-sufficient. He enjoyed the company of his new friends in the dining hall and he eagerly anticipated interacting with the high school and college students who were waiting tables. I truly believe that my father’s life was extended because of the care and life style that Brandywine gave to him. We could not have asked for a happier or more positive environment for Dad’s final years. I would highly recommend Brandywine in Howell to all of my friends and relatives. Thank you again to everyone from the cheerful women at the front desk, the maintenance staff, the administrators and all the volunteers for the quality care that you provide.

Excellent referral, for a facility that was for Independent Living. A respite stay was tried for 2 weeks. Nice,a clean environment, and friendly residents, and staff. Paula [Removed], and Pat [Removed], were the Front line staff that assisted in ALL the move process. Dana & Annette took care of the many calls made, to and from the facility. At this time, our family member is returning to her home, so her return & stay is TBD. Thank you Jennifer for your guidance, in a selection process to this unknown world.

Bella Terra's staff makes this facility an excellent choice for one to call this home. It is clean, safe and staff like Paula [Removed], Pat [Removed], as well as the front line staff of Annette and Dana we're inviting and accommodating.. I felt like I personally knew the staff, when actually I only met them over the phone, (I live 2000 miles away). These individuals were all prompt to respond to any needs. I had a clear picture of what Bella Terra was, for our family member's stay, and would recommend this place to those that are looking or would like a trial, like a respite stay.
