Brandywine Living at Litchfield offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, with programming that extends to residents living with advanced dementia. The clinical team is experienced in managing wandering behaviors day or night, elopement risks, combative actions, general behavioral concerns, and residents who are up all night. Nurses oversee wound care, oxygen management, and specialized diets for conditions such as diabetes—whether controlled by oral medication or insulin injections—and can support adults under the age of 60 who need an assisted-living setting. For residents who require it, caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, ensuring that daily routines are completed safely and on schedule.
The community maintains a 24-hour on-site nurse supported by RNs and LPNs, with a fully awake night shift and constant security coverage. Background-checked staff respond to pull cords and personal emergency response systems, while alarmed doors and a fenced rear area reduce the risk of exit-seeking. On-site medical services include regular podiatry visits, dental care, audiology, therapy space, and the acceptance of psychiatric conditions. Transfers are accommodated for walkers, wheelchairs, standby or supervised moves, and one- or two-person assists, so residents with varying mobility levels can remain in place as needs change.
Apartments are available with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and furnished setups; residents may paint or decorate their rooms and have access to cable, housekeeping, and scheduled laundry. Not every unit contains every feature, so families can select the layout that matches budget and preference.
Dining services allow residents to order meals as desired, with snacks readily available throughout the day. The culinary team supports diet modifications including mechanical-chopped, puréed, and thickened-liquid textures, as well as physician-ordered therapeutic diets. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings or special occasions.
Residents have access to parking, outdoor smoking areas, and wheelchair-accessible common spaces. Amenities include a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, pub, concierge services, a library, special-interest clubs, scheduled transportation, and a community Townecar. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
