Danbury Brunswick

We absolutely LOVE Danbury of Brunswick! My Dad has been living there for going on two years now and our experience has been nothing but incredible! My Dad’s apartment is beautiful, the food is delicious with a lot of variety and daily choices and the staff is absolutely amazing! I really can’t say enough good things about them and to prove my point, I will give you this testimony…About a year into my Dad’s stay, my sister decided to move him closer to her home in North Royalton…he made it two weeks at his new place and was begging me to move him back to Danbury! I called Sara and she worked her magic and we moved him back a few weeks later! The best part was that when we arrived on his move back day….All of the staff and residents were waiting at the door for him with balloons and signs saying “Welcome Home Joe!” It was a moment that my Dad and I will never forget! Danbury also does an excellent job of planning activities for the residents. My personal favorite was this past June, when they arranged for all of the residents that are veterans to go on a Dream Flight. I can’t even put into words what a precious experience it was for my Dad!❤️ They invited me to be there as well and it is a day that will always be engraved in my heart!!! I am so incredibly grateful that my Dad is in a place that takes such good care of him not only medically and physically but emotionally as well! He truly is so happy at Danbury of Brunswick! I live 5 hours away from him in Indiana… so it brings me so much comfort to know that in between my visits, he has his Danbury family taking care of him when I can’t!

My parents have been living there for about six months. My Dad has a severe case of Parkinson’s and needs lots of medication to be able to stay functional. If you know someone with Parkinson’s, you will understand. Unfortunately, Danbury nurses do not seem to understand that, even after being told that many times. Danbury is horrible at giving them his medication on schedule. They will tell you that they have plenty of staff and that all medication will be given within one hour of the scheduled time (which does not work for Parkinson’s medication schedules). However, neither of those statements are true. They often only have one nurse on the floor (just about every night), and they do not have enough time to give them their medication on time or within an hour. Many times, they had to wait over an hour and a half to get their medication. That is not an exaggeration! That severely messes with my parent’s health. Plus, they have these emergency buttons in the room that you are supposed to be able to use to get immediate assistance. They have sometimes waited at least a half hour or more for someone to respond. Once again, they blame it on understaffing. If they were to push that due to a medical emergency, it would probably be too late by the time someone got there usually. My parents do not want to move out of there because it is too much for them to move again. But if they could, they would. I would not recommend this place to anybody else, especially if they have medication that needs to be given on a specific schedule. The only reason I give this two stars instead of one is because it is a lovely place, and the room is quite functional. Also, most of the staff are very friendly, especially the nurses who care for everybody. The major problem is that there are not enough of them to take care of the residents as they need to be taken care of. These complaints have been communicated to many of the Danbury staff, and they keep responding by saying that they will fix it. Six months later, we’re still having the same issues. 

The team at Danbury Brunswick has been accommodating, understanding, and more than willing to work with our family needs. The facility is beautiful and welcoming!

Sara was extremely helpful and patient as we moved Mom from Texas to Ohio. We were absolutely amazed and thrilled with the assistance we received from everyone! Move in was easy, Sara even arranged to have a bed we could could borrow placed in Mom’s room to make sure Mom was comfortable. (We will get another bed shortly.) Staff went out of their way to assist us and Mom, totally above and beyond! Unbelievable level of care was given to Mom. They adjusted their nursing staff to check on Mom more frequently since she was a fall risk and to make sure she was comfortable. We definitely recommend this facility to anyone who needs to put their loved one into an assisted living and/or memory care environment. This facility gives independence to older adults without taking away their life. Older adults are not confined to a bed, they get up, get dressed, there are social activities and normal daily routines. A big “Thank you” to everyone at Danbury Senior Living in Brunswick!
