It took me so time for me not to be worried about my parents well-being in their new surroundings. It soon was apparent that they were well taken care of, most of the time they were busy playing Bingo or listening to live music or just interacting with the staff and other residents. I love Brandywine Senior living the facility has put to rest any fear I had relative to my parent care. I can only say if you have a elderly relative who could use a Assisted Living facility, please check out Brandywine Senior living at Fenwick Island. Beautiful facility, beautiful people, wonderful environment. I give them 5 *****, more if I could.

My mother has been a resident of Brandywine's memory care unit for three years. I just can't say…read moreenough about this facility. She's treated wonderfully by everyone, especially her caregiver, Kison. Also, Chris, Bethany, and Jamie are employees in her unit and they are upbeat and cheerful. All of the employees seem to know all of the residents' names, and that's pretty impressive. I'm so happy to have found this great facility, and it's only two miles from where she lived before she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. There are so many activities scheduled, she is never bored. I did visit and research other places before deciding on Brandywine, and I'm very happy I made the choice I did. She is also happy there, and I love seeing her happy when I visit. Family activities are scheduled regularly, and the dining room facility is basically a restaurant with a menu...families are welcome to join residents for a meal, and we have done that often. Do yourself a favor and visit Brandywine if you have the need for assisted living.

And the way things have changed so drastically, making the residents overly confused (which they already have a hard time with), it was to the point where enough was enough. Some of the chefs, 50% of the time did not give a fuck about the resident's food plates, and made them look like slops, and then when corporate comes, we have to look like a Gordon Ramsey Restaurant. If I was a resident living here, I dont want to eat fancy food. I want to eat homecooked comfort foods, and not all this restaurant crap they are doing because it is not a restaurant! And dont get me started if you work here, dont work in dining. They will work you to death, as the "Exectutive Chef" Ian is a just nothing but a man that is not approachable. I am a person who is autistic and had my ways of around the dining room, to where i still get my duties done, but god forbid you do one thing wrong, he will berate you and ruin your mental health. I couldnt stand being the little person and so i left. DO NOT PUT YOUR LOVED ONE HERE. NURSES WILL LEAVE RESIDENTS 30MINS TO AN HOUR TO CHECK ON YOUR LOVED ONE WHEN THEY HIT THE EMERGENCY BUTTON. They dont treat the residents well. Its kinda like abusive there. NO BRANDYWINE IS PERFECT OR FIVE STARS. DONT LET YOUR LOVED ONES LIVE HERE.

My mother moved into an assisted living suite in January,2025. our initial meeting, visit and lunch…read morewere very nice. The facility is clean and attractive, however, there have been numerous difficulties since. We have found communication to be a significant problem. There have been numerous leadership staff changes since mom moved in. I hope the new hires improve communication and the efficiency of accomplishing objectives. We have had errors in payment transfers, lack of notification of medical procedures, difficulty getting vital forms completed and sent to the appropriate organizations,failure to respond to mom's medical alert button. The staff are always nice and pleasant but there seems to be little consistency. We feel they are understaffed and have difficulty retaining employees. Good management and leadership are needed as well as improved communication.

Memory Care: :Avoid,. Mom, 95, only lasted 10 days, before we remover her. First 2 days a strange…read moreman came into her room, once getting in her bed. She was scared to death. Two days later didn't remember it. Major reason we placed her, she could toilet herself, but she could not wipe. we told them numerous times, that she could not go to the toilet by herself. Four of the 5 times we visited, my wife found she had a "mess" in her depends. The 5th time the toilet was backed up. and feces backed up in the shower stall. Contact allowed a camera in her room, with permission. I was told it was not a problem, but when i placed one, it never connected, but disappeared. The manager was arugemative, said it was not allowed and very nasty about it. They have cameras in common areas but we a re not allowed, in her private room? Avoid Bob Miller, at all costs. He asked me to turn and face him. I'm in a WHEELCHAIR. Who says that? Everyone else was very nice, but borderline negligent. Mom fell on day 5, they called said she was "fine". Next day visit, huge bruise on her arm. Day 9, fell again, thats' twice in 4 days. She's "fine". Next day, Easter Sunday we got there at 1pm, she was still in bed, nothing to eat or drink, disoriented, and very weak. We immediately began packing and removing her. Three days alter she still can not walk, and we believe she fractured her coccyx. (My wife and I are retired medical professionals.). Mom lived with us for 15 months, and had one fall. She was there 10 days and had 2 falls in 4 days. We were forced to get her care becasue my health went down hill, vision, wheelchair, ventilator. This ordeal was a disaster, and totally unacceptable, and incredibly stressful, esp for my wife. She had to do all the packing and moving two wheelchairs around, mom and me. They did an extremely poor job of evaluation and care. I would consider any positive reviews. of which there are quite a few out there, suspect.

The care provided her was kind and compassionate, and I have no regrets about choosing them. The property is just so beautiful and serene. The home like quality of each building is a truly inspiring model that I hope other assisted living facilities follow in the future. The staff members go out of the way to ensure the safety and comfort of your loved ones. If you are looking for kind, compassionate care in a beautifully peaceful setting, Taylor Farms is the place!

My brothers travel cath bag was left on him for over 24 hrs after arrival. He emptied it himself all over the floor, The nurse cleaned it up with his bedding, left the cath still attached to his leg and him in the clothes which the urine was spilled all over. When I saw him that evening he was wearing the same cath bag, again overfilled and the attending nurse had no idea that he even had a catheter. When She came to empty the bag she looked all around the bed for the bag and exclaimed, "he dosn't have a cath." She had to be told it was still the one attached to his thigh by Tidal Health discharge nurse. Genisis is suppose to be documenting the amount of fluid being discharged and reporting it to the cardiologist. They are not doing this. This is clearly neglect and elderly abuse. There are to many patients to caregivers in this facility. The facility is filthy. The State of Maryland should investigate and shut this place down before more people die/

I am astonished by how poorly run this rehab facility is. I would think if you are an employee…read morehere, you would be competent at your job. However, this is clearly not the case. My grandmother unfortunately ended up in this rehab center during COVID after she had a fall and broke her pelvic bone and wrist. Here are specific issues we experienced. Based on the reviews, I see these things are unfortunately common: 1. Incompetence with providing correct medication to patients: my grandmother was either not given the correct medication or dosage on several occasions while at Genesis. Thankfully, my grandmother is still mentally sharp, and called them out when they either tried giving her medication for things such as heart palpitations (which she doesn't have). They also did not give her the medication her doctor prescribed, even though we confirmed the medications/dosages several times with Dr. Nancy Benjamin Jean-Marie (who I will comment on below regarding my thoughts on her professionalism and capability as an MD). I find it hard to believe that employees at this facility cannot accurately read and comprehend a patient chart, so instead I chalk this up to laziness, incompetence, and lack of sympathy for patients. I am currently pursuing action against these individuals for negligence and putting a patient's health/life at serious risk. There internal compliance department has already been informed of these issues. 2. Communication skills: as COVID has changed the protocol for how families can see their loved ones in facilities such as this one, we relied heavily on communication, either with my grandmother or the nurses/doctors. When calling the nurses station to question the allegations my grandmother had mentioned (wrong medication, wrong dosage, etc.), there was a major lack of empathy along. The nurses at station 5 were always in a hurry to get us off the phone, and sometimes even hung up on us mid conversation. Again, I have several of these conversations noted, and in none of them were we being rude or asking too much of them. We simply wanted to ensure our grandmothers safety and health. However, they were always rude and did not provide information or call us back when requested to do so. Moreover, in conjunction with the above, when we called to confirm that we could bring our grandmother's medication to the facility, I was told that this wouldn't be a problem and we can drop it off. After dropping off the medication with a receptionist (name withheld due to ongoing action being taken), we were assured that the nurses were waiting on this medication and she will receive it. I would love an explanation on how they then misplaced/lost the medication if it was expected? Either there was malicious intent, which I hope there was not, or there is an overall gross incompetence at Genesis. 3. Misplacing/losing items: I have seen past reviews regarding this matter. Clearly, the owner of this facility nor the compliance department is taking action on this, as it continues to happen (and I'm sure will be brought up in future reviews - please take note). Simple things like medication, magazines, and clothing belonging to my grandmother were been 'misplaced' and never found. 4. Food: see other reviews. Also, please refer to this 2019 inspection report: https://www.medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare/InspectionReportDetail.html?ID=215067&SURVEYDATE=10/16/2019&INSPTYPE=STD. You will see poor food quality and lack of licensed individuals to ensure a patient's dietary needs are met were noted in this report. And unfortunately this is still true as of September 2020. 5. COVID specific: please refer to this link to see COVID cases among the residents and staff at this facility: https://projects.propublica.org/nursing-homes/homes/h-215067. In short, as of September 2020, they have had 141 confirmed COVID cases and 19 deaths. 6. Dr. Nancy Benjamin Jean-Marie: see review here: https://doctor.webmd.com/doctor/nancy-benjamin-jean-marie-cd7c9c8b-9206-4506-b36c-6cb322676ad3-overview Overall, depending on the state of your loved one, I would recommend trying to get them into HealthSouth (Encompass Health). Encompass is more for acute rehab, but I have heard phenomenal things about this facility through nurses who work/worked at Peninsula. I would avoid Genesis if you can.

The living center sent all furniture at a person house, during the rainstorm that destroyed all personal procession. This facility only cares about money and not professional care.

Quality of life for widows and orphans need to be improved for the venerable populations regardless of whether the person is able to pay for services. Why should the type of care matter based on how much assets and equity a person has over quality of life. If this is what the world is coming too this needs to stop.
