Brighton Court

My mother has moved into Brighton Court Assisted Living. It has been wonderful. She has a one-bedroom, and it's very comfortable. She seems to be very happy there. She likes their food. She said there's plenty of it. She said it's the closest to homemade that she has found anywhere. She's very happy with it. She hasn't done any activities; she only moved there a week ago. They have a laundry facility. They are going to be taking her just to have a shot at the cancer clinic, which is right next door. They have been very, very accommodating. The staff has been wonderful. I have to say that they're ridiculously expensive, but comparing them to the other facilities, they are good value. Like she got a full-sized refrigerator whereas the one we looked at had a smaller one. They also had a kitchen sink in there, but the other one that we looked at did not. It also feels more like home to her, and that's important.

My dad moved into Brighton Court. They have friendly people and clean, happy residents, as well as happy family members of residents. The staff members are courteous and helpful. My dad has been happy with the meals. They have activities. Proximity to medical centers, dentists, and convenience stores. They have nice grounds and a nice garden for them to look at. It is well landscaped. They have a salon and a gym.

My mother has moved into Brighton Court. She didn't want to move, but there was no choice. I think everything is great. I'm very happy with her care, but she's very angry and hates everything. The staff is wonderful, caring, and very good. Everything is beautiful, very clean, and inviting. The rooms are adequate. They're small, but it serves the purpose and it's easy to get around in there. It's been shut down because of COVID. They had to stop the activities, but they seemed wonderful. They get my mom out of her apartment. She's happy with the food. Everything is warm and the people are amazing and very welcoming. The staff and the residents are wonderful.

I visited Brighton Court, and they were very friendly. I met the caregivers very friendly. It was clean, they had studio apartments with their own bathrooms. They were all very nice. The reason I decided not to go with them is because it's very small, which for some folks might work okay, but I'm bringing my dad from Chicago. He was in a high-rise, and he gets out all the time. I know that wouldn't be a good fit for him. The dining room looks fine, although I did see a couple of deep fryers. I didn't have a great sense about their menus. I'm not sure my dad would care, but it'd be nice if he was given fresh produce and a good meal. Their fencing wasn't very tall, and my dad's in very good shape. I could see him just go right over the fence to take off, so that was somewhat of a concern. They were looking for a dog for the home. They had just had to put down their dog, but they were looking for that, and that's important to my dad. There were three caregivers there which seemed unusual for how little it was, but that was fine. I'd rather see more caregivers than less, but everybody was very friendly. They're very sweet. It looks like they're engaged and very close. It just seems like, if you're new, especially from a larger city, there's really nowhere to get away to have some time alone; I guess if you wanted to sit in your room. It was more homey, and I wanted him in a bigger place where he could wander, and there's big windows and all that sort of thing. The staff just seemed very friendly. They looked very engaged with the residents, which was nice They didn't say that they had a doctor on staff. It is kind of a big deal I think, for memory care, that the same doctor sees you, and you don't have to travel to see them. They didn't mention that they had that. The rooms were fine. They have their own bathrooms, and have nicely painted low and big windows, which is nice.

I'm very pleased with Brighton Court. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. My mother-in-law's room is nice. It's what we expected, and it has plenty of room for what she needs. She seems happy, and she has talked to some of the other clients there. The dining area is family oriented, very clean, and nice. They have entertainment and singers come in, children came and sang carols at Christmas time, and they play bingo. It's a nice and clean facility.

Brighton Court Assisted Living Community was very nice. The rooms were on the smaller side, though. The staff was fine. The lady who gave us the tour was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The rooms were more like studios where you can fit a twin bed and a dresser and that'll be all you can get in there.
