Brandywine Nursing & Rehabilitation Center sits in Wilmington, DE, and offers both short-term rehab and long-term nursing care, with a focus on resident-centered care and the Spark Rehab Program, which connects care from hospital stay to rehab and planning to return home, plus it communicates with primary doctors to help prevent rehospitalizations. Residents get 24-hour skilled nursing support, along with physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapies, and the place accepts both Medicare and Medicaid. Rooms are sunny and comfortable, with enough space for personal things, and come with private or semi-private layouts, private bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, phone, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and are furnished, which helps people feel a bit more at home. Residents and their families can join in outdoor activities in safe courtyards, enjoy summer barbecues, or participate in therapeutic recreation like arts and crafts, trivia nights, religious connections, group activities, and live music, along with relaxing options like aromatherapy, chair yoga, and light exercise classes. The center has cozy lounges for cards or TV, a home-like library suited for visits and socializing, a modern gym with ADL suite, a beauty and barber shop, laundry services, and even wheelchair van services for local appointments. The team provides nutritious meals and snacks with a dietitian's help and supports personal routines with help for daily living, medication management, and non-ambulatory care. There's a family atmosphere with summer events and several ways for families to visit or tour, and the renovated, spacious facility gives residents walking paths, gardens, arts rooms, a game room, fitness and wellness spots, and safe outdoor spaces. People can use complimentary Wi-Fi and cable TV, join both scheduled and resident-run activities, and find spaces to unwind, so the place tries to meet both physical and emotional needs while aiming for safety, comfort, and some connection to home.

Clean facility serious safety failures
I placed my father here and walked away with mixed feelings. The building, grounds and rooms were very clean and homey, rooms can be personalized, dog visits and a salon were nice, and many nurses were caring and knew residents by name. But staffing was inconsistent and often inadequate - baths denied, delayed bathroom/toilet assistance, dementia residents left in hallways, and some staff seemed lazy or uninterested. Most alarmingly my dad suffered a fall and broken hip; the hospital reported abuse and the state later found staff guilty - I had to constantly advocate while management failed to protect him. Clean and pleasant in parts, but serious safety, staffing and leadership failures make me warn others.
