Brandywine Living at Alexandria was excellent, very high class, and had a very inviting atmosphere. The staff was very helpful and caring. The food was good. The fish was really good, my husband said the asparagus and the cauliflower were good, my granddaughter had pancakes and she liked it, and my son had a crab cake and he said it was very good. I think my father will partake in the happy hour from 3:00 to 5:00 every day with an aquarium around their bar. The senior citizens seemed engaged. Even though they were in their 80s, they seemed to be able to partake in their activities. In comparison with what I looked at, the money value we got was good. If you have the money, you can live there.

I was interested in this community for my parents whom since the beginning of the pandemic we’re starting to have issues. I called the building directly and I was greeted by a cheerful voice and transferred over to the sales person. She was so friendly and conversational, which I hadn’t yet encountered in any of the other places I checked out. She told me about them being covid clear through the entire pandemic which I almost didn’t believe but did verify with the health department, so kudos to them. The unit they showed me was like on a penthouse floor which I couldn’t believe they had but very cool. It even came with a concierge and a butler. Overall the total experience was nothing short of what I could have hoped for and I pray my parents chose the Alexandria Brandywine.

We went to the memory care of Brandywine Living at Alexandria. The things we liked best about it were the number of healthcare professionals who are assigned to make sure that the residents are getting the right type of care, the cognitive therapy, and the physical therapy. I also think there's a nurse assigned to that facility so that there's on-site care depending upon the needs of the residents. I liked the fact that they have an in-house chef who can cook types of food the residents like. There's a butler service, or someone who can help make sure that the nutritional needs and food preferences are met for the different residents. There's a very good demonstration of safety and security in the memory care area. It's very secure; the residents are not going to be at risk as far as leaving the area that's considered memory care and going to different areas of the community unaccompanied. That's important, obviously. There seemed to be a lot of activities offered for the residents. I think they have a courtyard or a terrace area -- an outdoor-type area where during nice weather there can be outdoor-type activities.
When we first walked in yesterday, we got the impression that it's a very new facility, a new community, and very well appointed. There was a huge tropical-fish tank that greeted us when we first came to the door. Not only were our temperatures taken as visitors, but we were given a rapid COVID test, which is the only place that we've experienced that. The Brandywine told us that not only did they not suffer any COVID-related deaths, but they never had any positive cases either, which speaks well for the fact that they were able to keep the residents safe. We are considering Brandywine for mom.
