Monarch Communities

The staff, especially take-in counselor [name removed]. Entire staff open and responsive. The environs - clean and beautiful. The food - very good. It's a well run operation - the first place I've ever thought I could be happy living there myself.

This is one of the places A Place for Mom recommended and we loved it. We gave them a deposit and will be moving in in [Date removed] We also loved Cornerstone, (another recommendation), but made the choice to choose the Current

The physical building and furnishings and decorations are absolutely beautiful. The food is very good. The nursing staff is wonderful and keeps in touch with the family as things go along. The caregivers are very attentive and very nice. Just wish the response time on pushing the button for help was a little bit shorter but other than that it's been a great and wonderful experience so far.

We are planning to move there in August. Thanks so much for the connection! Beautiful facility, lots of activities, transportation, restaurant, proximity to Boston, and South Shore Hospital.

The staff is efficient and friendly. The food is good. The building is two years old. It's clean and well maintained. The residents are friendly, and there is a full schedule of activities every day: crafts, bingo, health and exercise, entertainment most afternoons at 4:00-5:00.

Very nice facility but too costly. Loved the staff, they made me feel at home.

the tour was very good and [name removed] was helpful. I think Therapy pool is a plus (when i learned other places don't have that), they should focus that more on the tour.

It gives you a homey feeling when you walk in and each resident would get a good amount of attention.

My mother has been here three months in Memory Care (Reflections). We are very happy with the attentive staff, cleanliness, and condition of the facility. The Care Mgrs (aides) know the residents and interact with them in a positive manner. They seem well trained to handle various levels of dementia and associated behaviors. The entire staff know the residents by name both in memory care and assisted living. The activities for both assisted living and memory care are very engaging. Field trips are scheduled regularly.

Beside their wellness services is on top to look after my in laws, they have great choices of health meals selection and they are delicious. Also they have plenty's activities to keep them busy and personal care such as nails, and haircuts.

Above average apartment size for the rate. Level of care costs similar to other facilities. Care provided by Medical and non-medical aides is great. All Staff and residents are genuinely friendly and helpful. A wide variety of daily activities to lure a recluse back to life. Beautiful facility, inside and out. Extremely pleasant outside space, wooded away from traffic. Menu is large and changes frequently. I would highly recommend this facility! Our family members were at the facility at different times and all of us saw staff and residents engaged in a variety of thoughtful activities, clearly enjoying themselves. Much more to life than eating in a nice dining room and TV. My brother's quip " a lot of thinking going on".

We felt very welcomed by everyone we met. It was extremely clean and appears well run. The residents were interacting well and the atmosphere was very positive.

This was my 2nd visit with [Name Removed] and I brought a friend to look specially at certain units. We were greeted warmly at the front desk with a sign and a lovely box of cookies with a big St Patrick's bow. I now have a better understanding of how things work and love that the location is so close to the main streets in Beverly.

What I like the most about the community are the people - the staff is not only friendly but helpful. We have some really nice people living here who offer help to the new people. We already feel very comfortable here after 3 weeks. Hope these answers are helpful and I would recommend Brandywine Livingston to other families.

Very thorough review of the facility. [Name Removed]was extremely personable and was very clear in her explanation to the questions we were asking.

My first impression of Brandywine was that it felt more like a high end hotel than a senior care facility. A very grand entry with a beautiful staircase, library, restaurant and sitting rooms. There are activities every day and weekly live music. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the residents appeared to be happy as well. We only toured one apartment which was the smallest studio and it was small, but there are larger units, some have bedrooms. When our senior family member is ready we will choose Brandywine for their continued care.

The apartments I saw on our tour, as well as the one we chose, were all generously spacious, and the pricing was fair for the area. The facility in general seemed very clean and well maintained.

Overall experience is great. Very good staffing, activities and dining services. The place is clean. My Mom's very pleased.

I rate everyone a 5. They have been great. Dad was in failing health and they took the time to assist us with anything we needed, the care they are giving Mom has been great

Everyone is friendly and helpful. Activities director organizes word games ; very enjoyable. I also met great friends here A good size kitchen with dishwasher and microwave. I have a big bathroom with good size shower and cabinets.
