My wife and I joined a monthly membership for the warm pool. The cost was $89 per month billed to our card automatically. The pool was always too crowded to actually swim. We requested to cancel our membership and Brethren care won't stop deducting the $89 from our bank account. They said to contact our bank. We had to cancel our card and have another re issued. If you decide to join pay cash and don't give these people you card or banking information. Additionally, I paid cash for the deposit on the key fobs and have yet to get it back. Check is pending. There's something crooked about a place unable to stop taking a payment from your account. I wouldn't want my love ones in this place.

My friend's dad went to Wasen and had the most incredible experience - they knew he loved Sudoko so got him books to play and Tina was super helpful from the start.

It is nice to know as our Loved Ones are in need of assistance there is Brethren Care Village. There are activities. smiles and listening team members for those special stories that our Loved Ones wants to share. I have been part of BCV for over 5 1/2 years and I treasure those stories and smiles that are shared with me.

My grandmother spent her last year of life at this place. They did a wonderful job of taking care of her especially with the amount of care she required To deal with her dementia. Would recommend to all. Their community center is also very nice. I attend weekly meeting at the new center. The bistro is great and the building is great for events and meetings
