Monarch Communities

My mother passed away at Brandywine last month. The decisions you are facing now about the care of a loved one are difficult and life-changing ones. It is with great gratitude that share my experiences with Brandywine at Pennington to assist you. This is the third review I have written over many years. Hard to believe it has been 8 years since mother moved into her one-bedroom suite at Brandywine. In my first review I comment on what a lovely facility, with many activities, and great food. I talked about the difficult transition for parents leaving their homes of (in my case) 50 years, and how it did not take long for mother – and for me - to feel part of the Brandywine community. Several years later mother moved to a one room studio, and I submitted a second review. While it was still true the building is beautiful, the food restaurant quality, and the activities extensive, it became obvious that the thing that sets Brandywine at Pennington apart is the people. I shared how everyone

My experience at Brandywine has been overwhelmingly positive. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism by the staff. The facility itself is well-maintained, clean, and designed to be both functional and comfortable.

I have many friends that have lived in this community. The way they are treated and taken care of is out of this world. The employees show so much care and attention to detail its amazing. The food is outstanding and is always on point. The Chefs come out to greet you and make sure everything is ok.

We really have no real complaints! My parents are not involved in activities because of their physical and mental limitations so I can't speak for that aspect. I am pleased with the lovely and spacious apartment and friendly staff.

We’ve been very happy with our experience here so far. Our mom has been in memory care here for a few months, getting skilled and kind care from everyone there. This place is a real gem and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found our way here. It’s been less expensive and much better in ALL ways than where she was previously (in CT). So grateful for the staff here!!

Everyone is very friendly and helpful to one another. The staff is always willing to help. There are a lot of fun things to do and programs to join . Questions and requests are handled courteously. The costs are less than with most other places.

Motif by Monarch is absolutely the greatest. The staff are caring, friendly and professional. The community is clean and very helpful if you need anything. An amazing community for my mom. The staff is friendly, professional and very caring. My mom is so happy at Motif in Southbury

Whenever I walk into Brandywine at Wall it always feels like a homey and welcoming place. Everyone I have encountered while visiting there is always so nice and willing to go above and beyond to make sure the family members and residents are taken care of. I would definitely recommend Brandywine at Wall to start your loved ones next chapter in their lives.

Brandywine Wall has become our extended family. Staff is kind and caring. The community is inviting and clean. We always feel welcome whenever we stop in for a visit. Peace of mind knowing your loved one is receiving the best care is priceless.

My 93 yr old mom fell at thanksgiving and fractured her femur and kneecap. The family tried to keep her home but it just wasn’t possible as she needed around the clock professional care. I was incredibly fortunate to find the amazing team at Brandywine in Litchfield who were so professional and caring.[name removed] were so responsive when I called and so kind! They arranged for a visit and a colleague to come to the house to evaluate my mom. Dave came to my family home to evaluate my mom and determine whether she could be well taken care of at Brandywine based on her circumstances. If it wasn't for [name removed] and his caring approach my mom would have never agreed to go to a facility. She was there for 3 months and now is back home.The entire team [name removed] and various members who worked so hard to have her engage and enjoy her time there from going to the movies, to the dining room and down to the pub for the Super Bowl! Many Thanks!!

Toward the fall of 2023 it was becoming clearer that our mom was in need of more care. Mom was progressing in her dementia, simple tasks becoming more difficult, reversal of her sleep pattern, awake at night, sleeping through the day. Right from the first phone call Brandywine was welcoming, up front, and prompt. The appropriate people returned phone calls, the tour was professional and transparent. The decision on where to place our mom (Assisted Living or Memory Care) was made with care, concern and with all of our information taken into consideration. Mom moved in last November and we have only become more impressed with Brandywine. Mom has a great schedule, eats well and sleeps regularly. The staff and I mean ALL the staff are considerate, caring, and most importantly they communicate! There is in house medical and they are also available and prompt to communicate. I can tell you as a elderly healthcare provider myself, that Brandywine is leaps and bounds ahead in best care!

Exceptional staff and faculty! They go above and beyond for there residents and it’s an amazing thing to witness! Everyone is so caring and attentive and makes you feel so at ease with any questions and concerns you may have.

Brandywine Living in Litchfield CT is a beautiful facility with staff that truly cares about each resident. Both of my parents have spent time there, and I found every single staff member - from the incredible woman at the front desk who is so helpful to the kind nursing staff to the director whose enthusiasm and positive outlook set the tone for all -- to be truly invested in every resident. The staff know the residents' families well, understand what each resident needs to feel comfortable and engaged, and always go above and beyond to make sure each day for each resident is as good as it can be. We have been so grateful for Brandywine.

The search for assisted living is daunting but after a tour of Brandywine and meeting several staff members, I was convinced we found the right place for my father. They asked detailed questions to make sure he would be properly cared for with respect and dignity. The facility is very clean and well maintained. There are so many activities to keep all the residents entertained. I am so relieved to have my father in Brandywine and knowing that he will be well cared for by qualified, knowledgeable and friendly employees.

My mother is a resident at Brandywine in Litchfield, CT., an active woman who will turn ninety-nine on her next birthday. She is treated with kindness and respect by the staff and has made many friends and acquaintances there. She keeps herself busy with the activities they provide and has even taken up a few new interests and hobbies. They have exercise classes, music, movies, book club, cooking classes and much more. Her diet has improved, the food is plentiful, and we have heard lots of compliments about the meals, desserts and treats they provide. The facility is very clean and decorated with a luxurious atmosphere. The staff are wonderful, the executive director, wellness directors, kitchen staff, maintenance department, and all the others provide a hospitality that is tough to beat. They are caring, hands-on, friendly and devoted to their careers and the residents. I can't express my joy at having Mother is such a great facility.

My great grandmother lives there and she loves it. Smaller community, big rooms, good food, etc. All the staff are very professional and caring. She’s loves it and I love that she’s living there. Overall, 10/10 place.

This community is well taken care of. There is no urine door when I visit which is fairly common in other places. I do not have anything negative to say. Staff are attentive and residents are smiling in the halls. I am glad my family chose Brandywine!

This is a nice, clean community. It has a grand entrance when you walk in. There are a lot of activities scheduled and different trips that happen each week. The staff seem happy and engaged & talkative with the residents.

My mother and I went to Brandywine Living at Wall on a recomendation. The building was immaculately clean, the food was outstanding where we ate in the beautiful dining hall, and what impressed us most was how kind and courteous the staff was. They knew every resident by name and at the time we were there, there was an activity going on for the residents who looked liked they were enjoying themselves immensely; and I learned they have activities like that for the residents daily. I would reccomend this community to anyone looking for a home for a family member.

I chose Brandywine Living at Wall in NJ as a home for my dad when we lost my mom and it was getting difficult to care for him on our own. I call Brandywine a "home" because that is exactly what it has become for our entire family, including my dad. I have to admit I was anxious about the transition with my dad, but the staff here has demonstrated nothing but kindness and a genuine commitment to supporting my dad's specific needs. Their flexibility and willingness to collaborate with me have ensured that my dad has received the highest standard level of care possible. The food here is outstanding and the dining hall, including the entire building, is always immaculately clean. There are activities daily for the residents to partake, which is where my dad got to meet friends and socialize; my dad says when the weather is nice, his favorite thing to do is have the staff assist him in walking around the beautiful garden area outside. There isn't a better place to call home then Brandywine
