She believed no one cared about the residents and she felt as if she was being put away. Fortunately, we found Brandywine at Mountain Ridge. I was in tears from the first time I walked in because it was exactly what we were looking for. Incredibly caring staff, and I mean everyone that works there. They love the people in their care so much that the residents pick up that caring feeling and care for each other. She is happy there, has made friends, loves the food and participates in the activities she likes. My mom is back to mom we knew a long time ago because she trusts in good people at Brandywine, and they take wonderful care of her. I totally recommend this place!

By the time she'd been at Brandywine for a couple of days, she started wearing her earrings and lipstick, nice clothes, and after a month, the improvement in her was remarkable. She has made friends and plays bingo every day, and she loves Biscuit, the Brandywine rescue shih-tzu. The staff is wonderful, caring, and supportive, and there is always enough staff to attend to an emergency. They keep great track of their seniors' whereabouts, and if she needs, help is just a push of a button away. Not only is my mom much happier, but we are as well, since we're not worried about her all the time. I highly recommend this beautiful place.

From the beginning, he went above and beyond to ensure my mom's transition into residency was as smooth and stress-free as possible-both personally and financially. He secured her placement as quickly as we needed and made an overwhelming process feel manageable. His compassion and dedication were clear in every interaction and still remain so. What stood out the most was his responsiveness. He returned every phone call promptly, answered questions with patience and clarity, and made sure I felt informed and supported. His professionalism and genuine care made a world of difference for my mom and my family. I highly recommend him and Center For Hope to any family navigating this challenging journey.

I have never experienced this amount of kindness and understanding anywhere, they make certain that everyone receives the care comfort and love and support to make a difficult time easier. The Hope House is a blessing, of which I will always be thankful for. Lisa

It's a lovely place that doesn't feel like an assisted living facility (it feels more like an upscale hotel or a country club but does feel homey) and is well-maintained and clean. The staff is super helpful and has given us great comfort knowing she is well taken care of.

Carlie Beninati is a rare gem as a physical therapist. I fell, head first down 15 stairs and…read moresurvived. After being sent home from hospital, Carlie was assigned to my home care therapy. Carlie showed up with a beautiful smile on her face every appointment. She has a can do attitude and would listen patiently to any health concerns I had. Patiently, she would answer positively and always offer any help possible. One stair step was difficult but she made it fun. She would say "It was a once in a lifetime accident, it happens. Don't be worried. You will get stronger. I will help you feel confident on the stairs again." She provided me non-stop hope and cheered me every time I was able to do more. I passed my test and Carlie will be cheering someone else along. Her beautiful spirit fills your room and air with encouragement. Carlie said goodbye and offered a hand up if I needed it in the future. She wanted me to feel comfortable becoming independent again. I have been profoundly blessed by the presence of this beautifully spirited angel in my life!! At first, I felt that I didn't need a therapist. I didn't want a serious, self centered person showing up. I was terribly incorrect because Carlie was from a different mold. She made me look forward to getting strong again. She understood my medical trauma which I was recovering from, too! If I could give Carlie 20 stars, I would. I feel stronger and more confident and don't feel frightened going up my stairs. I can hear Carlie's helpful advice all the time telling me to slow down/pay attention/be more aware. I would rush doing ten things at once. I'll miss my chats with Carlie but I'm thrilled she will be cheering another patient along with her positivity and you've got this spirit!

Kris is sensitive and considerate and is always including therapy that is helpful to his changing needs. He has been a godsend and we are both so grateful.

The care team meets with both resident and family member for the subacute rehab facility to discuss the care plan of action and goals. The subacute suites have ample space and privacy curtains and doors for patients to have rest and a quiet stay. Each room in the subacute facility is private, so no patient has to share the space. The beds are twin long adjustable beds. There is a large bathroom with plenty of safety bars and space for a short stay. We had planned on 20 days, but it ended up being only a 4 days stay. The staff is primarily Filipino and kind. Some shared their journey that brought them to nursing care and a rehab facility. While there are several Parker locations, Somerset is the only subacute facility. It's roughly a 15 minute drive from Robert Wood Johnson hospital. Many people are concerned about the quality of the food at a subacute center. Parker gave menus with at least two options per meal and a static list of always available items. You can have the opportunity to meet with a nutritionist to discuss personal goals and food challenges. They accommodate every meal to meet patient needs or requests. You do need to request salt, pepper, and butter, but it's better to be able to add than have everything over seasoned. There is a round the clock refreshment station available with juices, water, coffee, and tea. The upgraded facility is really beautiful and set back into the landscape, providing privacy for residents. There are plenty of areas to gather outdoors with the help of staff to exit or enter the building. There is a cafe designed for families visiting with patients. It's cash only and you can purchase a salad, soup, or sandwich. They also offer some of the hot meals available to residents so you acne sample what's available. The check-in process requires signing yourself in and out of the facility. It's very convenient and the by your second visit, the person at the front desk will recognize you. I highly recommend Parker and want to thank nurse Christen for welcoming me and showing me kindness while adjusting to the facility.
