Monarch Communities

Everything here seems top quality. All the help is most willing to oblige and be friendly.

My father has been at Brandywine Voorhees for little over a year. He was reluctant to move into assisted living, but the transition was smooth. Move-in day was organized and stress free. The staff was very nice and made themselves available to help whenever needed. The place is beautiful and extremely clean. The staff is friendly and caring and work hard to make sure their residents are content and happy. The food is delicious and plentiful. My father gained almost 20 lbs and increased 2 pant sizes his first few months there. There are a lot of activities and trips to keep you busy. We now need to plan what time to call and when to visit according to my Dad’s busy schedule. I asked my father’s Dr what he thought of Brandywine Voorhees and he said that it is one of the best assisted living places that he has dealt with. He said the nursing staff is knowledgeable, easy to communicate with and caring. My father recently sent me this text, “It has been a fun year at Brandywine and coming here was definitely the right thing to do. I loved my home but I didn’t realize I was missing other people around me. I now have that and it makes me happy”. It is comforting to know that my Dad now has new friends, a busy social life, a beautiful place to live and is cared for by capable, caring and knowledgeable people.

Clean, caring building filled with several wonderful employees who gave and showed great care for our mother. [Name removed], [name removed], [name removed], [name removed] and others were funny, solid employees who we appreciate immensely. We recommend Brandywine at Haverford Estates.

My uncle has been at Bella Terra for 4 months and so far everything has gone well. No major complaints.

The place is safe and comfortable, the staff is excellent, the food leaves a lot to be desired. Quality of food is low. Cooking for so many requirements and tastes is very difficult. I am adjusting and food is getting better.

Like the small group of people in the Memoey care unit. Like the atmosphere. Decent room size in the studio.love the location.

My mother has been a resident at Brandywine Wall for the past two years. From day 1 the staff has been very friendly, capable and caring. The facility is smaller which provides a warmer community atmosphere. Management is always accessible and responsive to any concern. As my mother’s support needs have increased, the staff has been able to provide additional care (of course, at a stepped up rate). My mother loves to attend the activities and [name removed], the activities director, makes extra effort to ensure she gets to her favorite ones. I would recommend this facility.

Visited Brandywine at wall on behalf of my mother We had a very pleasant experience meeting with [Name removed], she was very helpful and knowledgeable The building was clean and had a lot of dining options and activity programs. My mother ended up wanting to live with my sister but we will continue to keep brandywine at the top of our list if and when the time comes.

Good reflections unit for memory loss individuals. Caring staff that works well with loved one. Tries to engage them in activities daily. Good food.

I really like Bella Terra. The facility was clean and nicely decorated. It was a little upscale for my mother.

The staff is overwhelmingly kind and thoughtful. The facility is very well cared for, clean and orderly very inviting atmosphere.

Brandywine at Governors Crossing in Englishtown is a lovely place. Very clean and well kept up. The food however is hit or miss. My mother has had some good experiences and not so good experiences. She is the first to give praise but the last one to complain. As her daughter I hear it when I make my visit. The food needs to be hot when arriving at the table. Fish is rubbery at times, hush puppies are hard. No noodles with the lasagna. Not enough sauce with the pasta. Dessert is the highlight of lunch/dinner. Breakfast is her favorite. The physical therapy she is getting is amazing. Couldn't walk much when she arrived but is making extremely great progress. The staff is pleasant. She loves having her hair and nails done on site.

[name removed] was most helpful in showing me both IL and AL and discussing the possibility of respite with PT to see if my aunt could be considered for IL. The only thing I didn't like was how dark the decor was and that the halls were very narrow and dark.

This would be a very nice option for someone who wants an assisted living community close to lots of mom-and-pop stores and little restaurants.

My brother has lived in Legacy court ( memory care) for almost a year. He had lived on the independent side of Bella terra 6 months prior to moving to legacy. The staff in Legacy is wonderful: very caring and very friendly. The residents have their own rooms that are located in a rectangular/ circular design so they can always locate their way back to their room...from the living room, dining room or activity room. The dedicated activity director has many varied, personalized, creative activities that residents enjoy from word games, singing, baking, to making holiday decorations and participating in holiday festivities. I feel it's most importance that residents in legacy feel there is a personal concern for them ( when their family cannot be there) and this definitely occurs daily in activity time. There is an outside courtyard where gardening and other activities occur. There are occasional guest entertainers in Legacy. I do wish the Legacy residents could more frequently attend entertainment/activities that occur into Bella Terra with the independent & assisted people. My brother especially enjoys the Legacy weekly bus excursions. The nurses 24/7 are wonderful and certain doctors do come to visit. The Legacy manager is always personable and very reassuring. She is always determined to answer questions, concerns or complaints. Of course I've had occasional concerns, for example : lack of certain supplies in my brother's room, specific personal care concerns or room maintence but these concerns have always been addressed. In general, I am very satisfied with my brother's care in Legacy Court. This is a difficult, demanding job and they do it quite well.

I toured this facility while looking for a place for my loved one to go. I think overall it was more money than what we wanted to spend, so we wound up not choosing it. From what I remember, the building wasn’t that nice looking. However, everybody we talked to was very nice. It seemed to be pretty clean from what I could tell. I think they provide the same types of activities a lot of other facilities do. I was able to take a look at the room and they were very small. I know someone who has their Mother living here and they seem to be pretty happy with it.

My sister is doing okay since moving there, in fact, she is doing so well she is going to move back to living on her own. in a couple of months. She likes the staff here and is getting good physical therapy. She is really enjoying the food.

The facility is well maintained. Staff is professional, compassionate and attentive. The location in the center of town is perfect while providing privacy and a country atmosphere.

This community was larger and more expensive than what we were looking for. The community looks nice and they do offer some nice activities. The people we met were nice.
