Brandermill Woods

The tour at Brandermill Woods was good. The salesperson was knowledgeable, and she showed us all the areas of the building. It's a much larger facility, and it's very clean, well-kept, and maintained. The facility itself is going to be in better condition. The problem with Brandermill was their dining facility. Because of COVID, their dining room isn't even open, so they're preparing meals and residents can pick up their meals at this time. The downside is that the wait is a year to two years. They have a clubhouse. They have two dining rooms: one is less formal and the other is more formal. They're very nice. They have a bar, a pool, an exercise room, and a media room. They have a lot of amenities. We saw both apartments and cottages.

I toured Brandermill Woods for my father. This is another community where it's on the same property, but it's two different buildings. There's one building that has assisted living and memory care, and then behind that is another building. People there are bedridden, like really sick and really ill, but the building that I visited was assisted living with memory care. I thought that it was well done. We get to take the elevator downstairs. It's not that it's in the basement, it's just the way the community is set up on a hill. Instead of having stairs, they just have an elevator, because it's just the way that it's level with the land. There is an outdoor area for the memory here. There's also an outdoor area for the assisted living. There are events where they will bring the memory care up to participate with the assisted living people, like when they have group events, a large event, whether it's entertainment or what have you. This is another place that was very, very, very pretty. It was very nice, and very well kept. I'm not sure how old it is, but it looks newer. It has brighter windows, and the sunshine was coming through. The downside with the memory care was it's not that big. I got to see one of the rooms, and it was newer, modern, and very nice, and then as we were walking down the hall one of the residents had her door open, and it was a nice room that was fairly large, she could sit in a lot of them. She had her TV room, a couch, and a bed. The room sizes range. What I liked the most was the scenery. There's flowers, greenery, and nature. There was also an outdoor area and eating area. What I liked the least was the memory care was an L shape, and that's it. You got two hallways that form an L. They do have an outdoor area, but that's it. Within that area they have the eating area, and that kind of thing. That's where they are most of the time, unless they're brought upstairs to mingle with the assisted living for an activity or something.

We had been to Brandermill Woods several times with independent cottages. That’s why we chose it, and it’s close to family. They’re called patio homes, single-level duplexes, and two units joined by one common wall. The staff member was very easy to be with, very knowledgeable, and arranged for us to meet residents on our own. We dined there, and it was excellent.

My parents just moved into assisted living at Chesterfield at Brandermill Woods. The staff is very good and very friendly; they are top-notch. There are lots of activities and they have only been there a week, so they haven't really participated that much. The activities include exercise groups, shopping, movies, and just all kinds of things. I have tried the food and it is very good. I liked the friendliness, the hospitality, the nurturing and caring, and the staff-to-patient ratio. Overall, it is a very hospitable place. The rooms are excellent.

I am looking for a nursing home for my mother. I have visited your facility and I was very impressed at the care that you all gave the patients. I spent some time there with one of your patient and a dear dear friend. My mother needs long term care. She has medicad and medicare.

I became acquainted with Chesterfield through my daughter who took me over there and I went to see a friend of mine who lives there. They wanted $3,000 dollars entrance fee as opposed to almost a quarter million dollars being asked by the other places I've visited, so that helped me make a decision. I am already on their waiting list. They have all the three levels of care that I am looking for - independent, assisted and nursing home living. It is important to me that the staff was courteous, polite, and well-informed. My wife noticed that the facility is well-maintained, the shrubbery is trimmed, the grass is mowed, and it is clean and much better shaped compared to the other places that we've visited. So the entrance fee, the three levels of care, the general maintenance of the place, and the staff who was very polite and responsive all together are the reasons that I used in making my decision to choose this facility.
