Brandon Wood is a retirement apartment community. They prep my mom's meals and she has some care during the day; otherwise, it's an independent apartment. I like there are always people around, and there's always something she could do when she wants to. They have an activity coordinator, who prepares games. They do some exercise classes, movie shows, and baking. They also have a library and a puzzle room. It's an older facility, so it's not like some of the new places that were built with seniors in mind. They find it homey though, and my mom likes her apartment.

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.

Brandon Wood Retirement Center looks like a very nice community. My mom's apartment will have a living room with a mini-kitchen and two really nice big bedrooms, but the biggest thing is that she will have her husband with her, and it's only $400 a month extra for him. It's not a place that you would call modern, but it's very nice, homey looking, and clean. The dining area also looks very nice and they keep it themed. Right now, it's got a fall theme.

Brandon Wood has meals and activities for my in-laws. The facility was very nice and clean. The director and the staff were phenomenal. There were so great, helpful, and kind. They were awesome. However, it is not very handicapped accessible, which my in-laws need. It is an older building, but it is nice. They have a movie theater, an activity room, a salon, a library, a craft room, and a stove that they cook in. They also have an indoor garden, which is really cool. We didn't eat there, but the restaurant looked nice. They have a courtyard and an elevator because it's two stories.

Brandon Wood appeared to be very clean and well maintained. The staff was very pleasant. The director was very nice. They had group activities and exercise classes. They had people come in to entertain and Girl Scouts visited with activities for the residents. They served snacks, which were very good.
