Sometimes activities get canceled or happen earlier than on the schedule... my boyfriend's mom finds this frustrating but is learning the ins and outs.

Finding the Right Place

When considering a community your objectives should be: 1) Care offered by facility tailored to your needs..... they are flexible 2) Staff seniority do they have longevity.... speaks volumes to management and work environment 3) Cost 4) Proximity to your location as visiting often insure staff responses to your needs. Brandywine at Governor's Crossing checked all the boxes.
