Brandywine Fenwick Island by Monarch sits close to the sandy shores of Fenwick Island, Bethany Beach, and Ocean City, offering a peaceful, seaside setting for seniors who want both calm and activity. The community provides assisted living, memory care, nursing home options, in-home care, and respite care so seniors can find the level of support they need, whether that means help with daily tasks, medication, or more complex medical care including rehabilitation and wound support. There's also a special area for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, where staff aim to keep seniors safe with secure housing, routines that reduce confusion and prevent wandering, and therapies designed around memory care needs.
Residents have access to features like private rooms, maintenance-free living, on-site laundry, housekeeping, and 24-hour care by dedicated nurses and caregivers, including specialized support like podiatry, physical and occupational therapy, and hospice. The team prepares fresh, chef-made meals daily, offering restaurant-style dining with menus that include texture-modified meals for those who need them, and they keep careful temperature logs and follow ServSafe and food safety guidelines. Amenities include indoor and outdoor recreation areas, a fitness center, movie theater, garden, pool, walking paths, courtyard, and common areas for socializing, as well as extras like a barber and beauty shop, pet-friendly environment, cable TV, WiFi, thermostat controls, and secure entry. Seniors can join fitness classes, crafts, group outings, or enjoy live entertainment, devotional services, and library time.
The facility's staff has training and support themselves, including access to flexible spending accounts, retirement plans, insurance, and paid time off, and they operate with safety in mind, using the right body mechanics and keeping up with food and health care rules. The community treats each resident like an individual and encourages family members to stay involved, and staff work to help seniors stay independent for as long as possible. The environment's welcoming, with a focus on respect, kindness, and finding purpose each day, and the location means seniors can still enjoy the local shops, concerts, and the beach when they like. Monarch Communities calls this a combination of seaside peace and comfortable, supportive senior living, with care that adjusts as each resident's needs change.
