Brandywine Living at Fenwick Island delivers specialized memory-care services designed for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Licensed nurses are on site around the clock, overseeing medication management, monitoring chronic conditions, and coordinating with outside physicians and therapists as needed. Residents have individualized care plans that are reviewed regularly to adjust for changing medical needs, and an emergency response system ensures rapid attention in urgent situations.

Beyond direct medical oversight, the community provides structured daily assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, continence, and mobility. A secure environment prevents wandering while allowing freedom within monitored common areas. Cognitive programs, small-group activities, and sensory stimulation sessions are scheduled throughout the day to maintain engagement and reduce anxiety. Families receive regular health updates, and care team members undergo routine dementia-specific training to keep their skills current.

Accommodations include private and companion suites equipped with emergency call devices, individual climate controls, and accessible bathrooms; some units also offer kitchenettes or scenic views, but not all accommodations have all the features. Weekly housekeeping, personal laundry, and maintenance services are included, and pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.

The dining program features three daily meals prepared by an on-site culinary team, with menus developed in consultation with a registered dietitian to address medical and therapeutic diets such as low-sodium or diabetic plans. Residents may choose between restaurant-style seating and smaller, distraction-reduced tables that support memory-care needs. Staff are trained to provide verbal cueing or hand-over-hand assistance during meals, and snacks and hydration stations remain accessible throughout the day.
