Monarch Communities

Our mom has been a resident of Brandall Estates for the past 2 1/2 years. We have been so pleased with the facility and the entire staff. They are caring and responsive to both mom's needs and any concerns we have ever had. We are amazed by the dedication of the administrators--[Removed], who are always available to talk over any concerns we have for mom. We would recommend Brandall without hesitation to anyone considering an assisted living facility for a loved one or for themselves.

As a former resident of Brandywine, I had an “inside” opportunity to experience my stay first hand. I was living in the White Mountains of NH. After my husband’s death my Children wanted me to move closer to them. After visiting several places they decided on Brandywine in Howell NJ. This was supposed to be a short respite stay which turned into almost four months. From the moment I and my cat Foxxy arrived I was greeting warmly by the staff who brought me to my new apartment. After receiving my pendent it was time for dinner. I chose the late hour and was seated at a table with two other residents whom I got to know and care for very much. I made many friends there. I love the options you have at each meal. The cooks really tried to please the residents. I also enjoyed many of the activities offered each day. Every staff member I came in contact with was friendly and helpful. Including, house cleaning, aides, dining room staff, wellness, administration, and maintenance crew. Brandywine is a very nurturing, safe, peaceful place to live. At this point my Doctor, children and I feel I am able to live in an Independent Living facility. Should my needs change in the future I would gladly return to Brandywine in Howell.

This is by far the nicest community I have ever been to. My grandmother was in another assisted living a few years prior to this one opening and I was never able to visit her as it always just made me sad. Boy do I wish she was still around to see this place. It gives the feeling of walking into a 5star hotel! She would have loved this community and I would have been here visiting daily enjoying all the fabulous amenities with her! I know where I'll be moving when the time comes!

We toured this community when looking for my mother-in-law. It was a nice community but overall it wasn't a good fit for my love done.

On our first visit to Brandywine in Litchfield, Connecticut we met [Removed]. Her warm welcome and introduction to her colleagues during the tour of the facility immediately put us at ease. As we walked through the hallways her sincere kindness and consideration of each of the residents we met along the way was apparent. [Removed] continues to answer all of our questions and addresses our concerns, as does the entire staff at Brandywine. The Brandywine facility is beautiful and well maintained, the meals are wonderful and the atmosphere is cheerful and inviting with an extensive offering of activities. Moving from Florida into an assisted living community has been a difficult transition for our mother, but the wonderful care and attention she receives reassures her, and us. We highly recommend Brandywine.

Outstanding! Fully informed and transparent. Friendly and courteous. Perfecto!

I have been a resident at Brandywine Senior Living at Mahwah for almost a year.  I am very happy and comfortable here and I am pleased I made the decision to move here.  My apartment is spacious and well-appointed, with amenities I did not find elsewhere, such as a large bathroom with handicapped-accessible fixtures.  The bedroom is roomy with adequate closet space.  The furniture that I brought with me works nicely in the living space. The building boasts a therapy pool, well-appointed activity rooms, a large theater, and a tap room for refreshments.  Heating and cooling is comfortable and very reliable.  A powerful generator backs up the power in the building in case of an outage, and provides a steady internet signal throughout the building.  The dining experience is good, with tasty meals and snacks available all day.  A full schedule of activities and entertainment is outlined in a daily schedule.  Finally I must comment on the competent and very caring staff.  They provide a high level of care day and night and assistance is always a push of a button away.

My family has had a wonderful experience with Brandywine Senior Living at Seaside Pointe. My uncle, who suffers from Alzheimer's, is being so well cared for there. My dear Aunt has spent the last couple years researching her options, worrying about every detail of his future. The staff at Brandywine, especially Heidi, have held her hand and made the transition as smooth as we could have possibly hoped for. Once he moved in, the only thing left for my Aunt to do was wonder how he was doing when she wasn't there...but Heidi has even helped her with that by communicating frequent updates on how well he is settling in. The staff has learned his habits so quickly and during visits it's been obvious that he is safe and cared about. My aunt has finally been able to relax after all these years.

Where did nine years go? If the time passed by so quickly it must have meant that the experience at Brandywine Moorestown Estates was a good one. It was much more than that. It was an extraordinary outpouring of caring and affection for another human being that we have never seen before. It was not only directed to our mother/mother in-law, but to all of the residents. Both of us have witnessed this in Assisted Living, Skills, and Reflections. How do you have one hundred percent of your staff come to work everyday with a positive attitude and a smile on their face? We know that people have had bad days when they come to work but, the staff at Brandywine never displayed anything but love. One new hire after another had proven to be an outstanding choice. We marveled at your vetting practice, for new employees, for a number of years. We finally found the answer. We saw your employment ad. It ended with, Only Angels Need Apply.

I have been an ambulette driver for 15 years and transporting people all over the NJ and NY area. In my 15 years of transporting different people to different facilities, I have never been so amazed by a welcoming from a facility. Yesterday transport to The Fountains for a couple moving in blew me away. Truly the most professional and best welcoming I have ever seen in all my 15 years on the job! I would highly recommend The Fountains to anyone in search.

Beautiful community and very friendly environment.I look forward to my mother.living out her elder years here knowing she has everything.She needs right here.This brings great peace of mind to myself and the rest of her family

I toured this community for my mom due to being close to my home. I found the staff to be very nice and very helpful. I did not see any activities for my mom to participate in. This community is clean and the staff are nice. The food seemed to be appealing. I would recommend this community for families to see if this community would fit there needs.

It’s Hard to watch one of your parents deteriorate and lose their will to go on with life. My mom was a vibrant fun loving woman who was very active. Now she has severe arthritis in her knees. Due to this she didn’t want to leave her home and refused to use any walking aids. I was at wits end. My sister did some research and found the Fountains at RiverVue. I checked it out extensively and said this is the place for mom, now to convince her was my next step. I brought her here and they accepted her with open arms. She Immediately liked it. She is now a permanent resident of 3 years and flourishing like a butterfly out of a cocoon. The residents/neighbors are her new found friends. The Staff is beyond compare. She raves about them and so do I. They are very caring and sympathetic to everyone’s needs and most importantly they are sincere. I couldn’t ask for a better place for my mom. Thank you Fountains staff, We Love You!.

I recently moved into the Fountains at Rivervue from another community. I moved because I was looking for more activities and programs. Not to mention the food is fabulous here. I can tell you my experience has been wonderful and the service from all the staff is more than I could have expected. I enjoy morning exercise every day along with an array of Watermark University Classes. I have joined the activity committee apart of the resident council. What I love the most is if I ask a question to anyone of the staff or Directors, I am given an answer and in a promptly fashion. I am glad I made the decision to move and couldn't be happier.

They are wonderful and we used them 8 years ago for my dad. It is a small community but they still had caregivers from 8 years ago. The nurse had helped me greatly and they go over and beyond to get him back to the way he was. They influence activities rather than sitting in their rooms. The staff know us and can always tell us where he is at when visiting. Within 2 weeks they contacted me and told me that he does not need the level of care we are paying for. The cost was cut down in half and they have been working with us. I would recommend my friends to them.

I really enjoyed the tour at this community. The people and the residents were super friendly and helpful on the tour. All of the staff tried so hard to make things work for us. The reason we did not go forward was that the building was dark and small. The people just weren't active.

The staff that comes in and takes care of my loved one is awesome. They are a delight and wonderful with my loved one. They take care of everything and they do extra if needed. I would definitely recommend it to others.

My Aunt has been a resident of the Fountains at Rivervue for 2 years now. She came from living by herself in a large private home and was very worried about making the change to a small apartment & hotel type residence. She adjusted very well & in the first month to our surprise. My aunt enjoys the company of others & the great social programs, activities, Classes, music, lectures, food & Jewish culture.etc) available to her on a daily basis. We the family love the fountains crew who are always caring, attentive and friendly. We all feel good knowing that our aunt is cared for in a active, safe, clean & nurturing environment with a great spirit. We can all sleep a lot better because of them...Thank you!
