Brandywine Living at Howell provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to transition smoothly as needs change. Care teams are trained to manage a wide range of medical situations, including daytime or nighttime wandering, elopement risk, combative behaviors, and “up all night” sleep patterns. The community also accepts residents who require wound care, oxygen therapy, or diabetic management by oral medication or injection, and it supports residents under 60 years of age. Advanced dementia conditions are accommodated, with individualized service plans designed to preserve safety and dignity while addressing complex cognitive challenges.

Registered and licensed nurses are on site, and an RN or LPN is on call 24 hours a day. All staff members complete background checks, and an awake night shift maintains close oversight. Emergency pull cords and personal emergency response systems alert staff immediately if help is needed. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need to travel for routine foot care. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the team is trained in multiple transfer techniques, ranging from standby support to two-person or bed-bound transfers. Walkers and wheelchairs are accommodated without difficulty.

Apartments can include a kitchenette, basic furnishings, individual climate controls, and cable television, although not every unit has every feature. Housekeeping, personal laundry, and medication-management monitoring are also offered to residents who live independently but prefer to have these tasks handled by staff.

Meals are available through a set menu or by ordering from daily options, allowing residents to choose according to appetite or dietary requirements. Snacks are stocked throughout the day to ensure that anyone who misses a meal or wants a light bite between scheduled dining times remains well nourished.

Amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, movie room, wellness center, library, and communal gardens. A barber and beauty shop, on-site religious services, and a stair glide add to day-to-day convenience, while internet access keeps residents connected. Outdoor smoking is permitted, and pets are welcome; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach medical appointments, shopping, and local outings without relying on private vehicles.
