My mother is currently at Danbury Brunswick. We love it, they give her wonderful care, and because it is a residential facility, there are licenses and regulations, so they implemented a service to come in and help them do the things that they are not allowed to do. We're very satisfied with it and she really likes it.
She started on the independent living side first. What we like about the place is that everything is in this one big building, they just put her in the other wing when she had to move to assisted living.
It's physically gorgeous, the staff members are very caring and friendly, and the food is terrific. In fact, when we were moving her in there, my husband and I thought that if we could figure out a way to move ourselves in there and not have her know, we would have done it by the following weekend. It's that nice.
The assisted living is in the same big building as in the independent. The building is shaped like a V so she just moved from one leg of that V over to the other, which is nice. The nursing staff is good, the caregivers are very kind, and I have witnessed this myself. They do everything they can to promote social interaction, which has been difficult during COVID. She has access to all the therapies and interventions she needs, it's all onsite. They have an onsite physician, onsite director of nursing, it's all right in there. If she runs out of shower soap, they make a shopping list for her and they will run and get it for her.
The facility, your jaw would drop if you walked in there, it looks like a five-star hotel. It's also kept immaculately clean. They have cooks in the kitchen but they also have a cordon bleu chef, so the food is great. Their activity calendar is so big they couldn't fit it on a standard size paper, they had to stretch it out into a legal size because there is that much for them to do. They have a room available if you want to have friends over and play a game night. You just have to put your name on the board to use it. The chef doesn't like cheap kinds of snacks, so you get appetizers instead, and that's just considered part of the service. They have a pub and everything is free in there.They have a theater room with a schedule of the movies being shown. They have a beauty parlor and a massage spa. They have the basic exercise room with high-end exercise equipment. I know it's high-end because I work for the YMCA, and I know good equipment when I see it, I know the brand names too.
They have onsite OT, PT, speech and physical therapy, it's just an amazing place.

Memory Care Reviews for Danbury in Brunswick

Danbury Senior Living staff (nurses, aids, maintenance) were great. Food was served hot and looked delicious. My mom entered Danbury on Hospice. Because of COVID-19 and her failing health, we took our mom home so she would not be alone. Exit instructions: take what you can carry because you cannot re-enter. Mom was a resident at Danbury for 8 days. Thirty days later, we were told we must collect mom’s belongings. Remaining articles included two small bed tables, a dresser, lamp, and recliner along with some clothes and bath towels. One would have thought out of professional courtesy after paying for 30 days and a high community fee, that Danbury would have stored these items instead of having our family pick these up at the height of the pandemic. Our only option was to leave the items for a price of $180 per day or pick the items up. While government entities are trying to assist people, I feel Danbury took advantage of the pandemic.
