The staff are very friendly, caring and professional. You can tell that they really care for their residents. Dinara, who was giving us the tour knew all the residents by name and was very interacting with them. My parents made the difficult transition from living alone to Brandywine. Although my dad needs much more "help" than mom, they are both finding things they can do together. The weekly trips are a wonderful enrichment for them, as well as interaction with the other residents. Happy hour is also a favorite for them and they look forward to that every week. It's great to know that they are in a safe and nurturing environment.

I met with Dinara who showed me around. I knew fromthe start that my Mom would be very well cared for. Dinara is very knowledgeable and very caring.

Our father, Ted Nardolillo, recently passed away after living at Brandywine at the Gables for…read morealmost one year. For most of that time he was physically and mentally competent. But for the last three months his physical health deteriorated substantially and became very depressed and forgetful. In the last month he had hospice care and a 24 hour aid provided by others that were able to provide the appropriate care without having to move him into another room let along another facility. I won't bother comment in any detail about the facility's amenities - the food, the activities, the cleanliness of the facility. They were fine and more than adequate I am sure there are other, more expensive facilities that could provide a higher degree of amenities and more creature comforts. But what was critical to our family, who never thought either of our parents would ever live anywhere but in their own home or with one of their children, was the care and attention paid to their emotional and physical needs. Our father was a warm, funny and caring person. For him to be comfortable he needed to be surrounded by people who what type of person he was and treat him with the care and affection deserved of such a lovable person. Brandywine and the other providers they brought in, were that and more. They truly bonded with him and made sure he was cared for. If food or his meds needed to be prepared in a certain way they went out of their way to accommodate. If he was cranky and depressed as his condition worsened they were patient and sensitive. I could give plenty of examples of the large and little things they did to make our family content that under his most difficult days he was being properly cared for. When the time finally arrived and our father passed away many of the aides, nurses and other staff treated him and us like family. In an occupation where failing health and ultimately death is not an uncommon occurrence they seemed truly touched and concerned by his worsening condition and grieved with us when he passed away. They even attended his services and stayed with us well past the "respectful' time we thought others in similar line of work would spend. My family will never forget the loving care and respect they showed my father and his family. When you see that type of treatment by paid professionals who only got to know him during his final months you can't help but feel lucky that we picked the perfect place for him. Five stars does not do justice for what these people did for our father. Mark and Wayne, two very grateful sons

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.

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.
