Elance at West End offers so much more than other senior communities I've visited. Their robust activity programming is truly impressive, and I especially love their lifelong learning classes. What's even better is that these classes are available to both residents and the public at no cost! One of my favorite activities is the paint and sip. The community also boasts a beautiful terrace and a fantastic movie theater. I cannot say enough good things about this place. I've visited other RUI properties, and Elance at West End is definitely one of my favorites!

No followup with complains or suggestions from upper management team. Hidden in their office. Only while showing a place to a new prospect walks thru the facility. Food is average /spicy/ salty. Cleanliness average. Overall too young and revenue making mentality ( what can you bring in for us) compared to what will be done for the resident. The top managers of Rui company forgets that they are being paid highly for a hospitality, health care enviornment that needs capable, caring and proactive team and managers. Not cold and ignoring staff that can't take beneficial instructions.

When this place was Brandywine it was wonderful. Since RUI took over it has gone down hill. Management doesn’t care about the residents or staff. There has been a lot of staff and residents leaving. RUI has jacked up the rent and has added 150 junk fee. When RUI took over they said they were going to make the place better they have only made it worse. All the 5 star reviews are from employees and upper management.

A stunning community. The staff are friendly and warm, the menu and meal selections are delicious, and their engagement offerings through their Signature Programs are one-of-a-kind. Every aspect of this community is thoughtful and purposeful, in true RUI fashion. A few of my favorites are their therapy pool and Penthouse floor level, to include a dedicated Penthouse Concierge! You must visit and you won’t be disappointed.
