PositiveWould recommend
The room is lovely, staff is amazing, [name removed] was great to work with. It was a bumpy road getting her there and she was very patient and helpful. My MIL says the food is "ok - not great but good enough". I think she was assessed at a higher level of care than she needed. They moved her down a level after another assessment. All in all I'm very happy with Brandywine. My MIL loves it, made friends instantly, is busier than she's been in years. And I sleep well knowing she is safe and happy.

Pleased with Brandywine for my mom's recent move. [name removed] and [name removed] made the process very easy to transition my mom from rehab into their community.

PositiveBrandywine is a wonderful place!
I feel so blessed that I found Brandywine at Mountain Ridge for my cousin [name removed]. A friend had recommended it to me, and from the first time that I visited, I knew it was the right place for [name removed]. Brandywine is a very special place. The administration has developed a strong, caring culture and that every staff member embodies. Everyone that works there from the administrators, nurses and aides to the housekeepers, maintenance and the dining staff are very knowledgeable, loving and caring. [name re…

PositiveNew Lease on Life
My mom is a recent resident of Brandywine at Mountain Ridge. She's lived there for about a month in a one-bedroom apartment, and my husband and I cannot get over the positive change in her. She was feeling rather hopeless and depressed and uninterested in doing things before her move to Brandywine. She was having trouble walking (with a walker) and uninterested in doing exercises to mitigate the problem. Well, one month later mom is wearing her nicest clothes and pretty earrings and make-up and moving around the ha…
