The Brennity at Tradition

Josephine

My mom is at the independent living at The Brennity at Tradition. I think it's a wonderful place, it has a wonderful atmosphere. Everything is so clean and very elegant-looking, and their dining facilities are wonderful. Their staff and all aspects of the Brennity are wonderful. They take the time to know their residents. They know my mom, just from the fact that she lives there and she does the very least that anybody would do. She's not involved but even though she's not, they are very well aware that she's there. And that's very comforting for me to know that they know her. The food is very good. They have alternate meals so that if she doesn't like what's being served for the day, she can always fall back on a filet mignon, which is elegant, or a hamburger and basic meals. They have a schedule of activities. They have a game room where I see people putting puzzles together and playing card games or board games. They seem to have a lot of activities. They have a cocktail bar that they do happy hour in. They have an indoor pool and an outdoor pool, they have an exercise room, and they have physical therapy on location. They have a hair salon and a nail salon on location, they have everything. They also travel to go to stores and whatnot. You could sign yourself up to get a ride to the local supermarket, or just the local area where regular shopping is being done. I just think it was the greatest place that I found for my mom. The room size of the apartments is spectacular. In other places, the room sizes were similar in price, but a lot less in size. So my mom moved from my house to a very nice-sized apartment here.

We took my aunt over to The Brennity at Tradition and she liked it. The people are very, very nice and everybody seems to care for her. The staff are friendly and they take good care of her. The meals are excellent, they have a lot of activities every day. They have 3 or 4 activities a day like church services and stuff. They have a nail salon, a place for haircuts, and a pool.

We toured the independent living houses of The Brennity at Tradition. They were very nice, but it's three stories high and we have a dog. We don't want to be going in and out with him on an elevator all the time. The staff was very nice, though. We were shown all around their amenities as far as their pool, their activity center, a place where they could do physical therapy, and a very nice restaurant. We had lunch there and the food was excellent. It was a nice facility. Unfortunately, they just didn't have what we needed.

I went to The Brennity at Tradition Senior Living. It was a very nice place, but I just wasn't very attracted to the place. I don't think they told me about amenities, or at least it wasn't very clear if they did. The staff was friendly and so forth. I just was not attracted to the place because geographically it was undesirable. It was like in a rural village. The ground was pleasant. It was nice and well kept up. The residents were friendly, and they said hello. I like the staff's friendliness and they're willing to answer questions. They were very pleasant.

Out of all the independent places we looked at, The Brennity at Tradition is far more superior than anything else. The place is beautiful, it's first class, and everybody has been great so far. They have everything in terms of activities. Mom hasn't had the chance to participate much yet because we've had so much going on getting her moved. They have happy hours, bingo, and all kinds of different workouts. They have poker and blackjack too. They have a lot of tours where they take everybody out to restaurants and stuff. I haven't personally eaten it, but apparently, the food wasn't very good and there were a lot of complaints. I do believe that they just changed the chef, and in the last week I'm hearing the food has been a lot better.

My grandmother has moved into The Brennity at Tradition. We haven't been there very long, but from what we have seen, whom we have met, and to whom we have spoken, they're very helpful. She was kind of upset when we moved her in, and they did a great job. They have a great program for the memory care facility. So far, in the week and a half since she has been there, it has been good. I don't know moving forward, but for right now, we're happy with it. They're excellent. The woman with whom we spoke and who gave us a tour was very helpful, and the program director was fantastic, too. They have all been great. The facility is not brand new, but it is nice, homey, and quaint. However, for some reason it has a strange door entrance to the memory care unit, which we don't love, but it has a nice courtyard where they are able to go, so it is fine. The memory care unit suites are smaller, but I think that's pretty consistent with other places. They don't have them in the room very much because they are out doing activities. It is kind of in a very big compound, but it is nice the way they have it set up. They have six or seven activities that they're doing on a daily basis. They keep them busy, which is good. Every time we try to call my grandmother, she is always out busy doing something, so that's a good thing.

The Brennity at Tradition was a very nice place, but we don't know if we're ready for that. The visit was very nice and very informative, and the person that took us around was also very nice. I saw two rooms and the dining area. They gave us some gifts to take with us. The staff was pretty good. It seemed like some places outside, here and there, were dated; otherwise, it was good and clean.

My grandmother is doing good at The Brennity at Tradition. She's still in the adjustment period but she seems to be doing okay. They go out to lunch once a week and they have entertainment that comes in like musicians, and they also have movie nights. The facility is beautiful, and the medical staff and nurse's aides are very professional and respectful. They do housekeeping, laundry, and transport my grandmother to and from meals and activities. The place is brand-new, well-constructed, and the design is laid out very nicely and well thought out. They used quality construction materials. Everybody is really nice, caring and patient, and I really like that. I just think they need more staff. The food is actually very good.

Evelyn

The Brennity at Tradition is awesome. It is a great community. I haven't moved in yet. The staff members are great. Everybody has been so nice. They have been very helpful and very good. I'm very impressed with everybody there. They showed me everything. It is very impressive; I'm anxious to get in there. I think I'm going to enjoy it very much. I met a few ladies there, and they're all very nice. The community is very good. Everything looks great.

Chris

The Brennity at Tradition is perfect, clean, and new. It is a wonderful place, and the living atmosphere is great. The people really care about the residents. The rooms are brand new, very modern, and very nice. The food is exquisite, like from a 5-star restaurant. They have many varied activities going all day long. There are call buttons in the rooms, but they are not always located in the most convenient places.

Donna

We liked The Brennity at Tradition. It was absolutely beautiful. We had a delicious lunch in the dining room and the service was excellent. Geraldine, the girl who guided us around, was excellent, pleasant, and knowledgeable. It was just a great experience for us. They have pools, game rooms, a theater, exercise, activities, and a small bistro where they gather in the afternoon for drinks before dinner. It was just all around a happy atmosphere. The library was big and gorgeous with comfy chairs. It was very nice.

Helen

I like The Brennity at Tradition. In fact, I'm going to go and see it again. They seemed to have everything that would be of help to me, like if I got sick or something. It was a very nice clean-looking community. The girls we talked to were very pleasant and very informative. They explained a lot of things to us. This doesn't compare to the other community. They have much more to offer and I thought it was better. I found it very inviting and I liked the looks of the complex. It's very clean and neat. The people are friendly too.

Grandparent lived there and it was a very nice looking place. It was good until their health got bad and ended up having to take her out and move her for poor treatment from the memory care. Moved their into a much nicer place that treats their residents like humans. Would not recommend if your family member has a dramatic shift in health for they will not help and kick them out and give you the bill.

The Brennity at Tradition was spectacular and well kept. The people were lovely. There was a great response to anything that you needed. All in all, it was a good community. The people were very friendly, but they were a little bit older than us; a lot of them were in their 80s and we're in our 60s. They had an indoor and an outdoor pool, an exercise room, a small library, and a lovely dining room. The security was pretty good.

My impression of The Brennity at Tradition was good. It's top notch. I didn't see anything wrong with it. The staff was very good. They had water aerobics, ceramics, painting, exercises, good food, and trips out.

The Brennity at Tradition was my favorite. Very beautiful facility with lovely cottage type houses, the food was excellent, and the people were very friendly and willing to help you with any question you had and explained the facility very well. If anybody wants to go into a facility, this is probably the topnotch. They had nice activities. They had 2 beautiful pools and a nice gym; they had a lot of different variety of facilities. It was just a very nice place.

The Brennity was too far out of town. The apartments were good and lovely, but had no workshop area. The cottages were huge -- 3-bedrooms, and 2 living rooms -- but we rather prefer a small cottage with a garage. The dining room is small. We liked the features, and it's closer to medical care that we would need, but It was expensive. It's just not for us.

I was very impressed with The Brennity. The residents were very happy and well taken care of. They had plenty of activities and different levels of need. It was clean, new, and like a new hotel. It didn't have an odor. The meals were set up depending on the level of care, and they had a dining room as well as room service.

The Brennity at Tradition was absolutely fantastic, and the price was right for me. Everything was just beautiful there. They had a lot of activities, which is very important when you get older. They had 2 swimming pools; one was fresh water, and another one indoors that was salt water. It was an absolutely beautiful place. The people who worked there were very nice and very happy. They didn’t make you feel uncomfortable; they were very good.

Poor mom & dad

My parents started on independent living and later were forced to moved to memory care. Numerous problems from basic care, pharmacy monitoring to NEVER getting laundry straight. Lived close so were able to micro manage but always felt bad for family living out of state. If we could have moved them and we tried...hated the place.

The Brennity at Tradition is 5 minutes from my house. It’s a gorgeous and very nice facility, but I can’t afford it, and for what my husband needs, it’s more than minimal. They’re very nice people. It’s a newer and brighter place with a little more light.

I find Brennity at Tradition to be an excellent facility. The staff is on top of things, very caring, and have tried to make my dad feel welcome. They’ve gone out of their way to match him up with different people to make him feel accepted as a new member of the community. The nursing staff is very kind and sweet. They bring the families in with family nights once a month. They have a lot of activities and bring the residents out on day trips. They are in the process of building a new area of one-bedroom apartments. Right now, my dad is in a small studio room, so we are looking forward to a bigger apartment for my dad. There are only 24 residents there. The facility is beautifully appointed, very upbeat, and very pleasant. It feels very warm and inviting and is updated.

The Brennity at Tradition is beautiful. It's a little expensive but nice. The staff was very nice, and the grounds were beautiful, very nice, and very well kept. They did invite us for lunch, but we couldn't stay for a meal. Some people were playing cards and the others were just sitting out on the porch. There's a hospital there, Publix, and close to all different stores. It seemed friendly, and people looked like they were very well taken care of.

My mother is in Brennity at Tradition, and our experience has been fine. It's excellent. Everything is good there. The food is good too. They do a lot, and we're satisfied right now.

We moved my aunt in The Brennity at Tradition, but she passed away on mid-May. The Brennity was a fantastic organization. They had very caring employees. They were really like family. I couldn't say anything negative at all about them. I really thought she was going to be there for two years, but she was there only there for two months. When my sister and I moved my aunt into the facility in March, we had an opportunity to spend several days with her during her acclimation. We had several meals with the other residents there, and everybody seemed pleased. They had an extensive assisted living, independent living, and memory care unit. My aunt was very well received by the other residents in the place. She tried to acclimate herself, and she felt at home there as well. The meals were delicious and very tasty. They offered activities, and my aunt was an active bridge player. I believed the bridge games were held with the independent living folks because they were a little more with it, but she had all her faculties, so they brought her over the IL side, and she played bridge with the people over there and had a good time. The place was spotless. It was absolutely clean and well kept.

I visited Brennity at Tradition. The rooms, the food, and the people were great. They have plenty of things to do. And one thing which I like a lot is when I went to my church, the one they hold that The Brennity the bus came and dropped people off. It was impressive. In case I could go there, I know I could go to Sunday mass. Also I go to the Indian River College Place on a Saturday when they have them, and the one they hold there was Brennity bus there. They have indoor and outdoor swimming pool.

I briefly looked at Brennity at Tradition in Port Saint Lucie. We looked at it, and that seemed brighter, airier, and definitely newer. It has very nice staff. The people that I spoke to were very nice. The dining area is very nice. It is very bright, new, and aesthetically pleasing to look at. It is in a very nice community. The design of the area that I did see is very well laid out. It is very warm, homey, and very pretty to look out. It is very bright, light, and very inviting that it felt like a hotel. I think they are nicer looking. I don't highly recommend anything because I don't feel I know enough about them, but I would say that people could definitely put that on their list on the ones to look out.

We went to just one other facility. The facility is Brennity at Tradition. The staff was helpful, but their cost is much more expensive. The rooms were good. We didn't eat there because we just went for a quick tour. The cleanliness of the place impressed me the most. It has also an environment that is newer and updated. I think they do offer a little bit more exercise program than in the other facility.

We went to Brennity, and it is very nice, but itwas also very expensive. We looked at single family homes, and it was beautiful. There wasn’t as much storage than we have in our home. It is probably about 2000 sq. feet I guess. We talked to the manager, we worked with her, and she was very nice. We have friends that live there, we had dinner with them in the dining room, and the food is delicious. The place was very clean and well-kept; it’s a luxury resort.

We like the people at Brennity. The rooms were very large, bright, airy. The dining room was excellent.

Caring76764950

Brennity at Tradition was very nice. It was also beautiful. The staff was very nice. They were lovely. The rooms for their independent living were very nice and large. However, the rooms in the assisted living were so small and not acceptable.

The staff that gave us a tour at Brennity at Tradition were very, very nice and in fact we were very close to going to that facility, but financially we did not have the money for it. The residents were very nice and they were all well groomed. They have a big cafeteria where you get your food and the food was very good. You can also order food and they would deliver it to your apartment. They have all kinds of things to do with regards to their activities.

The Brennity was about 20 miles away from us. It was too far from our comfort area. When we first walked in, it was very impressive. They have an absolutely gorgeous entry area. They have lovely living room areas off the site where they entertain people. However, when we went down the hall, I seriously thought I was entering a prison. The hall seemed endless and it was so gray. The walls were not that great at all too. There were no pictures and it was just very dull. They have separate wings and separate dining room for independent and assisted living. I was able to eat in Brennity and I didn't like the meal at all. That too was a turn-off. Their apartments were nice; however, they would not make any changes to them so that you can't redecorate or personalized your apartment. They also have a pool that wasn't as welcoming as others we saw from other facilities. It also didn't seem that clean.

We lived at Brennity at Tradition (Abingdon) for about three years. We chose this facility because it has everything that we needed at that time. We were in a cottage and we had a very unique place, very lovely, but at this time this is not the place that we wanted to be.
