Brandywine Livingston by Monarch sits in a small-town setting and offers a careful mix of private residences and inviting community spaces, so residents can relax on their own or spend time together in lounges, by the fireside seating area, the small library, or out in the garden where you can hear the birds and see the flowers bloom in the warmer months, and you get the sense that attention's paid to the right details, from the nice furnishings inside to the clean, freshly kept feel thanks to regular housekeeping and linen service, and when it's time for a haircut or some pampering, there's a beauty salon on site too. Residents find restaurant-style dining with staff preparing meals for different diets, including special meals for diabetes, and each residence comes furnished, with a private bathroom, kitchenette, cable, wifi, and telephone service, which makes things comfortable and easy, and some like to help with cooking while others rely on daily support with transfers, dressing, bathing, and medicine, all with licensed staff available around the clock.
