Brandywine Living at Toms River delivers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, enabling residents to remain in the same community even as their support needs increase. Specialized medical oversight covers residents who wander during the day or night, have a history of elopement, stay up all night, or live with diabetes that is treated by oral medication, insulin injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. The team is also equipped to work with individuals who have advanced dementia conditions, tailoring care plans to manage behaviors and maintain safety.
Continuous clinical coverage supports that commitment. Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses are on site around the clock, with an additional nurse on call at all times. Staff members stay awake overnight, and an Activity Director coordinates programs geared to each resident’s abilities. Security features include 24-hour staffed monitoring, door alarms, fenced outdoor areas, emergency pull cords, and personal emergency response systems that alert staff immediately. On-site podiatry keeps foot health in check, while caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from supervision with a walker to one- or two-person lifts and bed-bound care.
Apartments can feature a private bathroom, a kitchenette, furnishings, independent temperature controls, and cable service, although not every unit has every option. Residents may choose the layout that best matches their preferences and budget, and maintenance staff handle repairs and routine upkeep so apartments remain functional and clean.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet dietary guidelines, with alternate choices and physician-ordered modifications available. Snacks are accessible throughout the day, and staff can assist residents who require help with feeding. The dining team works closely with nursing to coordinate nutrition for diabetic residents and others with specialized dietary needs.
Residents have access to a range of practical conveniences and social spaces, including resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, movie room, wellness center, communal gardens, and internet service. On-site religious services, a barber and beauty shop, stair glides, and scheduled transportation complement housekeeping and laundry services for assisted-living residents. Smoking is permitted in designated outdoor areas, 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. Close proximity to public transportation offers another option for trips off campus.
