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." read more

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. read more

My mother has been a resident at Brandywine Living of Howell for 5 months now. It was difficult for my family and I to accept that my mother needed a level of care that we could no longer provide for her at home. We were recommend to Brandywine so went to take a tour. After meeting with Dinara Kasumova , Dir. Community Engagement, we realized that this would be a perfect "new home" for my mom. We made the right decision! Dinara made the move in process easy and was available to answer our questions with patience and professionalism. Dinara, along with the entire staff, show kindness and concern to the residents. They say hello to the residents by name in passing and are compassionate to their needs. The physical therapists and speech therapists are amazing and my mom enjoys personal interactions with them. The nursing staff, health aides, dining room help, laundry services, activities coordinator and executive director have been supportive to my mom's needs. Brandywine's concierge, Judy, is extremely helpful to the residents and their families. She is knowledgeable and is always able to answer any questions we might have. My mom is cared for, safe, and happy in her new home. read more

Brandywine Living at Howell has been a true blessing for our family. As of April 2026, mom has lived here for two years, and the transformation has been wonderful. While living at home with a caregiver, she was often isolated and didn't participate in social activities. Now, she is happy, engaged, and truly thrives here. She enjoys the daily dining room experience, Bingo, happy hour, and she really enjoys the live entertainment. The community always has a robust and impressive list of outings available. We highly recommend the entire team--from the admissions staff to the admin staff, the nursing staff and the techs, dining, and maintenance crews. They are caring individuals who go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home. read more
