Brandon Wood Retirement Center

I toured Brandon Wood Retirement Center. They were very pleasant, and all the people we met who were walking through the halls and various places were very nice. It was a nice little community-type setting where they had a little area where they had coffee and dessert. They had a big dining area, and you could choose your own menu. They serve a big salad bar area, and you have a choice of drinks for that meal. You were given one meal; otherwise, you could buy two or three meals every day for the whole month, and it was very reasonable. They also had an area where you could sit and watch some finches in a big glass cage. I thought it was very nice, it's just that they had hallways that led to the apartments. They have laundry rooms on each floor. They didn't have laundry facilities in that room, but they had them on each floor you could go to. The size of the room, they started with a smaller one-bedroom that did not have closets, but it was an adequate size. You could have put in your own type of setup for closet space. Then they had a medium, kind of a little larger room than that, and it did have a closet. I think it also had a built-in shelf unit on the wall where you could put stuff. The larger bedroom had two closets. You could use one for casual clothes and the other for dress clothes, which was nice. The bathrooms, some had showers, some had tubs. The large one had a step-in shower, which was great. It was very clean, and they also have housekeeping services that come twice a week to clean the apartment for them. They were constantly keeping up the areas. When someone moves out, they put in a new carpet. The staff who gave the tour was very pleasant and answered all my questions. The facility was great. They do have an elevator, so if you can't climb the stairs, you can use the elevator to get up.

Brandon Wood Retirement Center wouldn't work out. You couldn't even get a walker through their doors. You weren't allowed to have wheelchairs there either, so that's not a good place for me. It was very beautiful, but the doorways to each room were very small. The apartments were fine, but I need a kitchen and they don't have them, and they don't have full-size refrigerators, just mini-fridges. You can fit hardly anything in them. It was clean. We only saw the lady that gave us the tour. She didn't have any information on the price or anything. We would have to call back and get that. You should have been given that right then.

Brandon Wood Retirement Center is spacious. The room was small but adequate. The staff seemed pleasant. They showed me what I wanted to see. The place seemed well kept but it was older.

We went to Brandon Wood Retirement Center. They have quite a few amenities, including a salon and a fitness center. They even have a small storage space for you and are cable-ready. They were a nice little apartment. The manager in the office was our tour guide and she was very informative. She showed us everything there was to see and we appreciated it. They do have a lovely place there. Anybody would be proud to live there. However, it was just a little out of my budget. It was a good address, and easy to find. The parking is outside. It was a good location, close to shops and things of that type.

I toured Brandon Wood Retirement Center. It was small, more than a lot of them. It was clean. Everybody was very friendly. The apartment itself is very nice and has more room than I thought there would be. I haven't tried their food, but I looked at their menus, and it looks yummy. They showed me all of the area, then the amenities. They have laundry. They have a little grocery store. It has a beauty salon and that'll come in handy. It's like a little town within itself. They have a lot of entertainment that comes out. It's just very nice.

We toured Brandon Wood Retirement Center. It was a nice place, well kept, and clean. The staff was real nice. We only saw one room and it was being renovated. They were installing new carpet. We haven't tried the food, but we saw their menu for the week and it looked pretty good. They've got quite a few activities, and they have bands come in and people come in and sing.
