Danbury Brunswick

My Dad is a resident of assisted living at Danbury. After having a few falls last year it was suggested to check him into a assisted living facility, I was very hesitant at first, but 9 months later I think this was the best thing for him,he is socializing, eating and sleeping better. My Dad enjoys many activities from bingo to happy hour and going out to dinner and casino. It had been hard since My Mom passed away in [date removed], making sure he was eating and taking medicine. My parents were very active traveling and socializing with family and friends. When anyone asks him if he likes living at Danbury, he is quick to say yes and everyone is so nice. Danbury is a very nice facility and has many parties for his family, 6 grandkids and spouses and 16 great grandchildren. I would recommend this place to family and friends.

Danbury Brunswick is a nice place overall, although the apartment is too small. I think it's probably better than most other places to live and 90% of the staff is very helpful.

The staff were great! They were very friendly and outgoing. With the meals they could improve on the variety, our mum is still British at heart and although the meal offerings would be great for the typical American Palate, it was often to heavy for her. However we would definitely recommend the Danbury Brunswick community to other families looking for a place for their loved one

Can’t begin to say enough great things about this place. What we thought was going to be a terrible transition for our Mom ended up being the best surprise ever. She is happy, and making friends and truly enjoying her new home. Shocked us all. The staff has been we warm and welcoming to our entire family throughout the whole process. People of all ages coming and going all day visiting, going on outings and even walking a dog. So far it’s been a great decision that was not made easily.

We would recommend Danbury Brunswick community to other families based on the experience we have had so far

We picked this community because, it was close to home. I was impressed with the overall aspects of the facility and staff. There is no improvement needed in my opinion.

This was an amazing experience for our loved one during their time here. Danbury was onboard with having family assistance in caring for our loved one. The staff enjoyed having us there to support our loved one in the dining room, activities, and more. The staff went above and beyond in caring for our loved one as they were declining in health. Some of the care they were able to provide were dressing assistance, eating, and hygiene care. The community was wonderful in communicating with internal staff, the residents and the family. The staff were compassionate and got to know the residents and this was appreciated. They gave the family a peace of mind knowing our loved one was well cared for. The support they showed towards the family the day our loved one passed was amazing. [Name removed], the Director of Nursing was amazing to work with! She wanted to know everything about our loved one's history to make sure they were well cared for.

Danbury Brunswick is a nice place, but you definitely have to keep on top of staff to make sure things are getting done that are supposed to be done. We've had issues with medications and physical therapy. I also wish they had better communication with the family as well as the resident(s) because sometimes we're in the dark as to what's going on. For example: my loved one is supposed to receive physical therapy, so I got the doctor order for it and turned it in. I didn't hear anything for two weeks and when I went to follow up, they told me they were waiting for insurance approval. It would have been nice to know they received it and were waiting on the insurance. I'd like some sort of portal, written communication, email or even texts so that I can know they're on top of things. I get they have a lot of residents and things can get lost, but on another token we're left kind of sitting around wondering sometimes.

Every time I am in this facility I am always impressed and amazed at how welcoming and friendly everyone is. I have come in at different times of day and no matter who I come in contact with, they are always friendly and welcoming.

Staff have all been very friendly. My Dad recently transferred to Danbury everyone has made him feel welcomed.

When I visit Danbury of Brunswick I'm always greeted with a smile and a friendly voice. The community is kept neat and tidy. The team there is amazing, knowledgeable and very kind. The way they care for the residents and provide them with fun activities is wonderful. the chef there is great and alway provides a great sounding and tasting menu.

I feel Danbury is a very clean, safe, and comfortable environment! I feel the staff and residents are very friendly and the food taste amazing!! I think Danbury is a great place for people to work and to live!

We love everything, the staff are great we have never had any issues. The head nurse [name removed] especially is amazing. They have tons of activities provided and residents have plenty of things to do to keep busy. The more active you are, the better off you will be here. I think it would be helpful if they could get an ophthalmologist that could come on site even just a couple of times a year. We are very happy and would absolutely recommend Danbury Brunswick to other families.

Danbury Brunswick really cared about my father, however, they like so many other places, were experiencing staffing shortages. We had to fight for him to maintain his agreed-upon level of care because the new staff & outsourced staff were unaware of what the agreed-upon level of care was. Executive Director [name removed], did a wonderful job navigating the staffing challenges and staying in touch with us. My dad passed away [date removed]. He was 100 years old. Would recommend Danbury Brunswick as a modern & attractive senior living facility where our dad received attention & respect from the staff

my father was in memory care, and we were in the perfect place for him. I only had one nurse I had an issue with but when I voiced my opinion it was corrected. The food was very good also. I would recommend the community to others if you can afford it.

The facility was nice, The dining room was open all the time, and they had lots of activities that he enjoyed. The staff was very nice, and the community was clean. The food was very good also. I recommend this community to others.

We visited multiple facilities and none could compare to Danbury Brunswick. We chose this facility because of the food, the staff members, and the facility itself. It was bright and cheerful and we liked the security and layout. The room sizes here were spacious, they were just the right size. The food they served here was hot and it was good comfort food, but also nutritious. The best part about the community is the staff members, they are all very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend. If I ever need to go into a facility I would first consider Danbury Brunswick.

I liked that they have different levels of care at different price points. The staff was very attentive, overall a very positive experience. It was always clean. They had great communication, they always kept me very up to date about anything regarding my uncle's care.

Good: Danbury Senior Living staff (nurses, aids, maintenance) were great. Food was served hot and looked delicious. Bad: My mom entered Danbury on Hospice. Because of COVID-19 and her failing health, we took our mom home so she would not be alone. Exit instructions: take what you can carry because you cannot re-enter. Mom was a resident at Danbury for 8 days. Thirty days later, we were told we must collect mom’s belongings or be charged an exorbitant daily fee. This fee is in addition to the community fees and 30-day lease we already paid! Under the statewide stay home order, we collected mom’s things, which put us at risk for COVID-19. One World Together at Home? Not Danbury Senior Living! They didn’t give a crap.
