Inglenook at Brighton

Donna

We toured Inglenook at Brighton yesterday. It was very good. It was a very nice tour, and Toni was most helpful. However, the room was way too small for two people. Our motorhome is bigger, and we have lived in it for 10 years now. To have a motorhome bigger than the apartment is not saying much, is it? It has a small refrigerator and a small stove. I think the staff who toured us did very well. Meals are included. They have a nice courtyard, but the place is old.

We toured Inglenook At Brighton. The tour was great. Great facility. The rooms were larger than the rooms at the other place. They're more like a little apartment with a kitchenette, so it's very nice. It's a little bit older. You can tell that building has been there for a while, but the staff is caring. We tried their food, and it was very good. The only bad experience that I had there was that, I had been talking to them since a month ago to get my dad in for respite care, but then they had somebody else request the same respite and they only had one room available, so even though I was first in line for respite for my dad (we only needed him there for two weeks), they gave the room to someone else that was going to be there for one month, so I did not like that. They have a hair salon on site. The mail comes onsite from the United Postal Service. They have a rec room, and they also have a little area where you can get drinks such as coffee, tea, and for happy hour, margarita, pina colada, or something like that.

We went in to see the assisted living at Inglenook at Brighton, where mom would have her own studio apartment. I really liked it. The lady that was in charge was very, very helpful, very friendly, and well receiving. She gave us the information that we needed. We asked a lot of questions, and she answered all of them for us. She took us on a tour to see the studio apartment like we had asked. She had asked us if we wanted a one-bedroom apartment. I told her I thought that would be kind of big for my mom, and I didn't want her to be confused. I really liked the studio apartment. It's a very nice area. Mom would have an area to put her bed, her dresser, and her TV. She'd have a little cooking area there. We told the lady we don't let mom near the stove because we're afraid that she could burn herself. She said that's not a problem. She says, "We would make sure that she gets all the help that she needs." They explained to us the different rates depending on the assistance that they need. I was really impressed with it. It was very clean. There's a lot of people there. They're very sociable and friendly. I think it would be good for mom because that way, she would be able to interact with people her own age. They have a lot of activities that they do for them. She could play bingo, games, or whatever. I think that would be a positive factor for her. I liked the fact that they had a patio door, so mom could walk out to a courtyard or she could sit right outside her door. It really made me happy. I really liked it. The lady in charge was very sweet, very informative, really friendly, and sociable. She made us feel comfortable, and it was the one thing that we really liked. I liked that the studio apartment was close to where the dining area was. Mom wouldn't have a long way to walk, so she wouldn't get confused. The dining area was very clean and really nice. The setup was real nice. We were shown the laundry room. They said that if mom could not do her own laundry, they would be more than happy to do it for her. The laundry facility was clean. The whole place was very clean. I was really impressed with it.

My mother-in-law moved into Inglenook at Brighton. She stayed there for ten days before she passed away. Excellent service. They were very friendly. They were excellent to the tenants. They treated her very well, very compassionate. The activities director, her name is Max, was fabulous. The food was good. I can't say anything bad about them. They did a wonderful job. Excellent value for money.

We got my dad in Inglenook at Brighton. It's five minutes from where Mom lives. We all live in that area, too. We only have him in there for a little bit now, but the staff there has been super nice. They let my dad call us. We get to hear from him, which is really good for us. They give us updates, too. From what I'm seeing right now, the staff ais excellent. My dad's room is very clean and very nice. It's nice and roomy. It seems like he likes the food. He is in memory care, but I know he watches television. He could go outside to the little area and he could walk around wherever he wants to. He seems to be OK with it. He is eating every day and he is eating three meals a day.

My visit at Inglenook at Brighton was pretty good. The rooms were pretty small but it was a pretty decent place overall. They gave us an opportunity to try the food although we chose not to. The staff who accommodated us was professional, knowledgeable and didn't try to sell us. They gave us all the information that we needed so I would say the marketing staff is pretty good. We did a general walk-through and they showed us one of the apartments.

The apartments at Inglenook are wonderful. The staff is friendly. In the last 6 months the food has gone down hill. They no longer have a trained chef and are using only line cooks. The food is sometimes inedible. When living in a senior living facility good food is essential. There appears to big a huge management problem.

The food was absolutely delicious at Inglenook Brighton. It was wonderful. The people there were more active than any of the other places I've been. They had a lot of activities and trips happening, and buses coming and going all the time. The courtyard was in the center of the building and it was beautiful and inviting. The drawback with that facility was I've never seen such tiny apartments in my life. However, the staff was very involved with their patients and were very attentive.

Inglenook at Brighton is a very good place and I am going to be moving there. When you walk in, it's just a very friendly, welcoming, warm, and comfortable environment. I had a really nice feeling and I know it is the place for me. The people are happy and the staff is very helpful, cheerful, and so considerate. Everybody is so nice and so friendly, it's just amazing. The food is wonderful, although not quite a 5-star restaurant, but close. They have transportation available if you need to go to your appointment or to the bank. They also provide the housekeeping. There is entertainments periodically, group outings to recreation centers for swimming, trips, and tours.

I am currently at Inglenook at Brighton. This place has a good atmosphere. You can get to talk to people who are enjoying their lives. The staff are helpful. I have a one bedroom apartment with a glass window and a balcony. They provide three meals a day, and 4 out of 5 their meals were excellent.

Inglenook at Brighton was very nice and a little older. The fact that they had window air conditioners in the apartments didn't appeal to me, but the man who showed us around was very charming and made a very good presentation. We enjoyed staying there. They had two meals a day, which I liked. It was a nice place. The apartments were very nice. They completely refresh an apartment when someone moves with new carpet and new paint, and they looked very nice. I think they do have some activities. I was just surprised they don't have anybody there that plays bridge, but he said I could probably go to the senior center and play bridge. The dining area was very pleasant. They had a barber shop and a beauty shop. There was a library.

We did a full tour of Inglenook, and everything was good. They showed us several different rooms that would be available. It’s a complete facility. They took us to the rehab room, and to see their dining areas. This is where we’ve moved my uncle. Part of the reason that we went with Inglenook is because I talked to the residents and there were several who have been there for many years and actually had their grandparents in there beforehand. So we talked to all kinds of people, and it just felt very homey for us. I highly recommend this place.

My mom is staying at Inglenook at Brighton. They just created the memory care wing of the center. The nice thing about this place is that even though the suites are broken up into 2 separate rooms. It's really like my mom has her own room and closet. The people here are wonderful. This branch of the facility is brand new, all new furniture and everything in here. My mom seems very happy here so far. The food seems good. She seems happy with that. The surrounding area's really well cared for. Everything looks really nice and I am pretty happy with everything I see here so far. They're pretty busy all day. They go out to do shopping, maybe get some ice cream, and do whatever they do maybe once or twice a month, and then the rest of the time they keep them pretty busy with different kinds of activities. They're busy all the time, whether through projects, setting the table, or watching TV.

My visit with Inglenook at Brighton was very nice. However, the place was a little dark. They had dark wood on the walls, so it was not bright enough. We never saw a person out of their room, which, on a Sunday afternoon, I thought it was a little weird. They did not seem to have anything going on. They were all in their rooms with the doors closed and not interested in anybody but themselves.

We visited Inglenook at Brighton, and I think it's nice. The people we met seemed to be great. The rooms were nice, very clean, and roomy. My only problem was it's quite expensive. The grounds were very nice, and the food was good. The dining area was pleasant. It's an old facility, but the maintenance was good.

Beware the Marketing Department Before I moved in they were vague but quoted me 1900 for a one bedroom "garden" apartment. (which means you are halfway below ground) I moved in and the next morning was asked to sign for $1975. It was beyond my means so I had to look elsewhere and leave.

Inglenook at Brighton was about five blocks from where I live. They were polite and pleasant, and they obviously impressed my mother. She liked it, and she is on their waiting list. The rooms were clean and decent sized, but they should improve on their parking space.

Inglenook at Brighton is very wonderful and beautiful. The nurses were awesome. They took good care of my mom, and they have very good food.

Inglenook at Brighton was very nice. They were really helpful, and they answered a lot of questions for us. They would allow my sister to be as independent as she needed to be, but we knew that if she has any problems, she will be well taken care of. It was very clean. There were no unpleasant odors. All of the residents seem very content and very happy. The dining room was very clean. The woman -- I think her name was Sue -- was really amazing. She was very patient with all of our questions and was a very understanding and kind person. My sister is only 59, and it seemed that most of the residents there were quite a bit older than her. That was the only drawback because she is still young and fully capable of taking care of herself, but she needs someone to watch over her because she has an illness, and she is constantly developing blood clots.

Inglenook at Brighton was available, and the price was right. There are others that I would have looked at a little stronger, but it wasn't available. It is an older facility, but I'm familiar with the place, so that helps too. I've known them for a better part of fifteen years, and it's everything that we need.

I wasn't really impressed with Inglenook at Brighton. The friendliness of the staff was great. I thought they are really good people, but they did not sell me on the place. I thought the place was really clean and pretty well maintained.

This is a very nice place. It was okay. Food was very good for dinner. Everyone was very nice. It's an assisted living facility. As you stay there, you don't have to move at all, it goes off into the other ones too. They had a one bedroom, which is a lot bigger than some of the other places. I like the way they had it set up, that was very comfortable. They had very nice staff.

The staff at Inglenook is amazing. I try to visit my grandmother three to five times a week. Every time I go the front desk is so nice to us that my daughter is excited to go. My grandmother's apartment is always picked up and cleaned and the staff is always quick to respond whenever she needs any assistance. In the dining room, they have a very courteous staff and really try to match personalities of the residents at the same table. I have joined them for lunch a few times and it is very enjoyable. The meals are delicious and there are many choices. Every Sunday and on holidays, they put on a brunch and are always helpful in setting up a room for our large family to visit and have a meal with her. There is a beautiful court yard that has a couple ponds with tables and benches to sit and enjoy the beautiful Colorado weather. I would recommend this facility to everyone in need of an assisted living facility.
