The phrase "skilled nursing" is misleading. I would like to have known that the definition did not include careful monitoring of fluid intake nor careful observation of resident when medication is administered. At one point my husband choked while taking several pills at once. Another time a capsule was dropped on the floor and not taken. Had I known that the care offered was not what I thought was skilled nursing I would have hired a private duty nurse to ensure that my husband got the care he needed. We were told that he would continue rehab in preparation for coming home, however we never received a treatment plan. Based on our experience I would suggest that a family member spend most of everyday with the resident to monitor his/her care.

this place was disgusting. the staff ( nursing kitchen and housekeeping) barely spoke english.the place was dirty lazy and ignorant. i would recommend that this home gets torn down before it accepts new residents. the administrator would disagree though, she will lie straight to your face and then make a different statement to *what i think* is second in charge and say they ' got a keeper' i hope noone brings family or loved ones here. it is a death sentance.

Great place, staff, food and care.
Brandywine Hall West Chester, Pennsylvania 19382
Brandywine may have been better at one time, but it is now shabby and in desperate need of renovation. Emphasis seems to be on keeping the beds full. The rehab unit is supposedly for short term patients who are there for rehab services for injury, post-operative care, or generalized mobility issues. My husband was in a room alone for a few days and it was bearable, although not very clean. He had been admitted for rehab following a fall in which his back was injured. Then a man with obvious signs of some sort of dementia was admitted to the room. He slept all day and then kept my husband awake all night with nonsense talking and moving around the room. This is not an atmosphere conducive to recovering from an injury.
Also, in the very beginning PT and OT were not doing their jobs efficiently. I watched an OT session and my husband received fifteen minutes of therapy in a one hour session. Time was wasted entering his treatment into a hand-held computer and finding him a wheelchair with two leg supports instead of one. The institution is in obvious need of working wheelchairs. The PT room is barely adequate and the equipment in need of updating. The Physical Therapists are good, but treatment is done by PT aides.
The long term nursing home areas where one must pass through to reach the rehab unit are beyond pitiful. Residents sit slumped in wheelchairs lining the halls and around the nurses' stations. We were forced into this institution by the demands of insurance and availability of male beds. I would never recommend Brandywine Hall to anyone who wanted efficiency, cleanliness, and up to date facilities.
