Brighton Care Center

If only I could give them a minus rating… Absolutely no rehab… no toilet risers, no bedside commodes… only diapers! And the charge nurse says, when asked for anything, “We don’t do that here.” No ice packs for recent surgical incisions. No extra pillows to prop up legs to avoid possible blood clots, just rolled up towels… Screaming from rooms, constant hallway noises of pill carts being rolled over tile floors, repairs being made at night, employees going in and out every 15 minutes to laundry area, slamming door each time. There is no rest here, there are no tools to rehabilitate! I left AMA after 12 hours. It was truly “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest”.

My mom was put in Brighton two years ago. She was in the nursing care, and she was there for rehab, which is another one that is awful. The place was really old. They also had a lot of what she called medical people that live there permanently that are either handicapped mentally or physically. It was a whole different wing from the nursing facility; that area had three to a room, and they live there permanently. They would hang outside in the parking lot, smoking cigarettes, weed, and drinking. I couldn't believe my eyes. A lot of them are younger because they're medical people whose families don't want them. I did see a lot of people there. It was all pre-Covid. I just give them a low rating with everything. The rooms were old, and it was an old building. I didn't see a garden for the people. The rehab was probably the best part. I would say the staff was pretty good. They were kind and very nice to my mom. They have a very nice staff. All I saw was the dining room; that's all I could see. I didn't see much going on in there. I saw a lot of people sitting in there. It was people that either were permanent residents or the people that were in nursing care. The beds look like they were taken from an old hospital that was closed down, and they bought old used beds. They told my daughter not to sit on the beds because there's a lot of infectious diseases. I'm like, "Well, don't they clean in between patients?" I thought that was really weird.
