During this holiday season, I feel it's important to thank the folks who have contributed to our…read morelives. I placed my father at the Howell location in July 2018, and words cannot begin to express the gratitude I feel toward each team member whenever I walk into the facility. Pop had a difficult time adjusting when he first got there (as I'm sure most do). The seeming loss of independence and his recognition that he needed care was hard for him to handle, as he is a proud man who always did whatever needed to be done to provide for his family. Colleen G was absolutely wonderful during the admission process. Jen S has been looking out for and taking excellent care of my Dad. Amy is just an absolute delight. My father feels loved and safe there. Each and every single interaction I've had with any of the staff members has been excellent. I am a single mother with two kids. I have a full time job that requires frequent travel, and a chronic illness that can knock me out of commission for a few days on occasion. Taking care of my father for the past 18 years has been difficult. I would like you to know that since Dad has been at Brandywine, I feel that a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I cannot thank you enough. Lisa has built such an incredible culture there and has such a great staff and I simply wanted to offer my thanks.

My mom has been here for a year. I wish I could find another place to put her. The facility is very…read moreclean and beautiful, inside and out. Unfortunately, the quality of care is spotty at best. Some of the employees are very kind and caring, but not all. On several occasions, Mom has had to wait hours for someone to help her get dressed or go to the rest room. I shudder to think what might happen if she had a medical emergency and pushed the help button. Despite repeated complaints, nothing changes. Also, the food is disgusting. Every time I visit Mom I bring her a meal. All the residents complain about the food, but it never changes. It is often served cold and if there is an expensive item on the menu, it runs out during the first dinner seating. The meats and fish are always overcooked and dry. This is institutional food at its worst. Mom survives on carbs because the proteins are inedible. Elderly people need soft, moist food. The management puts on a good front, but when you dig deeper, what you find is unpleasant.

My 90 year…read moreold father was not there for a long time but the final months of his life were happy because of them. The entire staff was just amazing - so caring and kind and made my father feel like they knew him for years. Maria Carnevale, Director of Admissions, was especially wonderful and went out of her way to work with us no matter what obstacles came up. She treated us like family and made the place truly feel like home. Many of the staff have been there for 10, 15, 20 years or more and that speaks volumes. I cannot say enough about this place and especially Maria for making it all possible. Bless you all for everything you do!

From the numerous interviews and patience of Linda and Frank in answering all of our questions and concerns, to the interactions with the nurses (Colleen and Theresa) and activities coordinators, Tara and Anna - everyone here makes this place fantastic. Even the janitor is willing to help out when he can. The advantage of this place is that the whole facility is memory care based creating the best possible environment for your loved one. The entire staff is dedicated to ensuring that our dad is well cared for. We have never seen a resident mistreated or abused during any one of our visits here. The place is spotless and well maintained. We have absolutely no regrets in choosing the Brandywine at Colts Neck and highly recommend this facility.

My mom moved in a couple of weeks ago, and while she has had a difficult time adjusting, because of the kindness of the folks there and the superior qualities of the program, I believe she will eventually find happiness again. The food is excellent and plentiful, and the staff couldn't be nicer or more engaging. The programs are entertaining, which I say because mom has participated in most of them even though she has been sad about leaving her home. The security is great; they strike the perfect balance between safety and free, independent living. Making this change has been one of the hardest things my family has ever been through. We are lucky that we have found the people at Brandywine, from the women in management to the concierge to the dining hall staff, the chauffeur, the nurses, the care managers, every person on the staff, and the wonderful residents. I have high hopes that mom's next chapter will be filled with activity and good fellowship. For that I am grateful.

He quickly adjusted to his new environment with the help of the wonderful staff at the community. He made a lot of new friends and enjoyed his time in the assisted living. When the community noticed that memory issues were becoming a concern, we were able to move him to the memory care neighborhood where he also thrived. It wasn't until his care level became too much for the community that he had to leave his Brandywine friends and family. As most of our family were a distance away from Toms River, we very much appreciated the love and care provided for him by the staff and residents at Brandywine. We can't say enough good things about this community, the management and how they take care of Seniors in Toms River.
