"Mixed Feelings on Brandon Woods: Good Tour, Concerns About Size"
Our family visited Brandon Woods for a tour. We found the tour and community good, but felt it was too large for our loved one.

"Seemed like a nice place!"
We toured The Gardens; clean, friendly staff. Worth considering!

"Mixed Feelings on Assisted Living Visit"
My time at the assisted living place wasn’t what I hoped for. It felt like everyone was all mixed up! I got there and it seemed like my coming was a surprise—no clue where to head because the signs didn’t help much. Maybe it’s because the staff was out, and the rest of the staff didn’t seem ready. The rooms were okay though. Overall, it was just an alright visit.

"Mixed Feelings About My Visit"
The visit was a bit disappointing. When I got there, nobody knew I was coming, and the directions weren't clear. Maybe Jan Maddox was on vacation, and the other staff weren't ready. The place was okay, but the whole experience was just so-so.

"Poor Care and Neglected Residents at Assisted Living Facility"
Upon visiting my buddy shifted there, my suspicions became truths. The call lights are often disregarded for lengthy times, like 15 to 50 minutes! Personal care like showering gets brushed aside for many days, and the residents get neglected for far too long. Sometimes, meals don't make it to rooms and, if they do, they're often out of reach for folks who can't move well. This all lead to my friend losing almost 15% of his weight within under two weeks of entering. I wouldn't recommend anyone to go to this place!!!

"Looks neat - but neglects basic care!"
When I visited a buddy who had shifted to this place, my concerns were confirmed. Alarm bells and calls for assistance were neglected for AGES (can you imagine 15 to 50 minutes?!), personal cleanliness and grooming are overlooked for days, inhabitants are often overlooked in solitude when they really need someone, meals are not always delivered to rooms and if they do come - they're placed too far from those unable to move freely. This negligence led to my friend shedding about 15% of his starting weight in less than a fortnight. I advise anyone against this place!!!
