Let me start this review by saying “any negative things that you have heard about COGIR of Potomac is 100% dated and inaccurate” – there is a new sheriff in town and her name is Keisha Ellis. This lady has single handedly taken it upon herself to completely elevate the COGIR brand (this placed used to be call Brandywine) in the face of recent events and past leadership being ineffective. If you have not been there in the last 30-45 days, you are missing out. Keisha has hired a brand new staff from the Director of the entire place to the nursing staff to the food/beverage staff to brand new accounting staff. All of these changes had been long overdue and welcome with open arms. The new staff is NOTHING like the past. I now get instant and competent responses with all of my inquiries ranging from minor maintenance items to billing to day to day operations. Keisha has changed the attitude and the culture of this place and all within a very short time frame. If you are looking for an amazing place for aging seniors with a staff that is super caring and responsive, then look no further – THIS IS THE PLACE! My mom has been here for several years and I can tell you that she has never been happier! I would be remiss if I didn’t do a shout out to Latoya. After months and months and months of trying to resolve simple billing issues, she has reconciliated my mom’s ledger within a week’s time. She is amazing to work with like the rest of the Brandywine staff. I feel super blessed that my mom is under such great care and oversight. Thank you Keish for all of your fantastic leadership and the changes that you have implemented. Your new staff is TRULY AMAZING!

I would not recommend this place at all. The staff seems completely scripted, like they’re just repeating lines to make the company look good instead of actually helping customers. It feels fake and very unprofessional. The admin is terrible—emails never get answered, and when you need help, nobody seems to care. Communication is basically nonexistent. On top of that, the quality is really bad. What you get does not match what they promise. Most of the staff also seem miserable and uninterested unless they think they can make a sale. Overall, the whole experience felt like they only care about taking your money, not providing good service. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

I would not recommend this assisted living facility to anyone looking for quality care for their loved ones. It is painfully clear that the administration is focused on one thing and one thing only — the bottom line. Every decision seems to revolve around cutting costs rather than providing the level of care residents are paying for. The staff members who are actually working directly with residents appear overworked, understaffed, and unsupported. When a company does not invest in its staff, the residents ultimately suffer. Basic needs are delayed, call lights go unanswered for far too long, and there is a noticeable lack of personal attention. This is not due to lack of effort from frontline workers, but rather poor management and a clear disregard for staffing levels. For the high monthly fees charged, families should expect consistent communication, attentive care, clean facilities, and engaging activities. Instead, it feels like services are minimized while bills continue to grow. Residents simply do not receive what they are paying for. Choosing assisted living is an emotional and financial decision for families. Unfortunately, this facility seems more concerned with revenue than resident well-being. I hope leadership reevaluates their priorities and starts putting people before profit.

Love the water aerobics class weekly, it is very relaxing and helps elevate my back pain.

A little over a week ago I had the pleasure of hosting a Marketing Manager Meetup at Brandywine. I have attended a few events here so I knew the location was beautiful and the food is fantastic. Make sure you request the seafood wraps. We had 6 different kinds of sandwiches, 2 salads, and several desserts. The chef was able to accommodate traditional and vegan palettes. The theater room was a great place to hold a presentation. The stadium seating meant there were absolutely no bad seats. I highly recommend this place if you are hosting an event in Montgomery County. I will be back!
