“My 77-year-old brother, Jim, who has cerebral palsy and other developmental disabilities, has been a resident of the Brambles since our mother passed away a little over three years. During his time there, he has been extremely well cared for and has thrived in this loving and supportive environment. He is treated with dignity and respect and his daily needs (including personal hygiene, dressing, healthy meals, etc.) are fully met by the dedicated staff at both his home and at the Day Support Center. He enjoys the staff and the other clients and particularly looks forward to the wide range of activities that keep him busy and stimulated, including field trips, attending church, and parties at the Day Support Center. We feel so fortunate to have the comprehensive care provided by the Brambles for Jim as few other quality facilities of its type are available within driving distance of N. Virginia.” – CBJ

“This place is a blessing. The Brambles has been nothing but wonderful to me and my family. Staff that provides great care and goes above and beyond for their clients. There should be more places like this. On top of the great things they do, their facility is beautiful.” – Min G.
