My Dad moved to Brandywine Senior Living in Pennington in June 2024. During his time at Brandywine, he received excellent care from the kind and courteous staff, to the nurses who work tirelessly giving each resident the utmost attention.The facility is immaculate. Most importantly my Dad received loving care from every single member of the staff, whether it was chatting about his love of golf or checking on him when he didn't show up for a meal. The residents are friendly and the activities are fun. I could go on and on with positive comments. Thank you Brandywine for all (each and everyone of you ) you did for my Dad. His last year of life was a happy one thanks to you!

Moving to Brandywine is one of the best decisions I've ever made. The staff is hard working and caring. Can't say enough good things about them.
Sandra Laumann
They are fine if you’re loved one doesn’t actually need assistance. They happily take a lot of your money and the nurses are lovely. But if you’re loved one needs actual assistance eating or being moved and cleaned properly, and most importantly, spotting a potential serious medical problem, they take zero initiative to help and alert a doctor. It’s more like independent living. The director just says nothing is in her power. It’s all corporate decisions. It’s absolutely not about the elderly residents and their medical needs.
