My visit at Brighton Gardens of Mountainside was good. It was very nice and the place also smelled nice. It was bright, and there's music playing and it has a cheerful atmosphere. The staff who gave the tour was very helpful and considerate. I was invited for a meal, although I couldn't go. The rooms that I saw there also seemed fine.

Brighton Gardens of Mountainside was very nice and the rooms were a little bigger than the other places. They have a little library and lots of trips. The staff was very nice.

Brighton Gardens of Mountainside was updated, and the facilities were very welcoming. It’s clean and really large. I was greeted by someone in charge. He gave me an overview of everything that they do and also the events that they were having on a daily basis. He was very informative and very friendly, and there was a follow up phone call to see how the tour was. They do serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I know they had a whole calendar of events.

I went to Brighton Gardens, and I liked it. It was pretty; it looked like a hotel. I liked the activities they have for seniors; I liked the fact that they brought them out to malls and places they want to go. I liked the convenience of having all the doctors in one place. The people who worked there seemed quite attentive. Most of the residents liked it there. They also brought in guest lectures, and I thought that was pretty cool.

I only saw Brighton Gardens of Mountainside. It was clean and bright, and the people seemed nice. The room was like a small apartment with a bedroom, a living area, and a kitchenette.

I was less impressed with Brighton Gardens of Mountainside compared to the other places I've seen. The people were very personable, but I found the memory care area to be a little depressing, and the whole place was too large for my mother. The staff was very nice to me and answered all of my questions.

My grandmother has been in Brighton Gardens for about a week and a half. It seems very nice, and the people are very nice. They did manicures on Friday afternoon, brought Holy Communion this week, and did crossword puzzles a couple of afternoons. She likes to do that. The dining room is very nice, but I hope the menu is varied and that they include pasta.

Brighton Gardens of Mountainside is beautiful like a hotel. It is very nice looking and very clean. They have a couple of therapy dogs which my grandmother is really into. They have tons of activities. It seems like it was a well taken care of place. My grandmother shares a one-bedroom. Her roommate is in the living area and she is in the actual room but for what she’s paying, it’s definitely reasonable. She shares her closet, bathroom, and kitchen area and the entire unit is actually big enough for them. She has a knitting group. They have a psychologist who talks to them regularly. They have a social hour everyday at 3:00PM. They take the residents out to WalMart and the Dollar Store.

My parents were there for more than a year and we found that the facility over promises and under delivers.. The service is inconsistent; the food not very good and there is an odd disconnect between SOME of the management team and family members who want to be involved in their loved one's care; we were left with the impression from some that our input wasn't welcome.

My mother is at Brighton Gardens of Mountainside. I find the facility quite accommodating and very well staffed with people very concerned about their tenants. My mother seems to be very happy there. The surroundings are friendly and open. There are plenty of things to do. Care is taken to make sure everybody has the ability to go wherever they need to go.

We are going to go with Brighton Gardens of Mountainside. The people were really good. The way they work together was nice, and it was very homey. They had a large one-bedroom. I do not know if it is going to be available when my aunt goes there in August, but it was a good size. Some of the rooms were tiny. They have a lot of activities.

The best thing about Brighton Gardens of Mountainside for us is its location. The facility seemed a decent place. It’s clean. They were able to answer all of the questions that we had and they were very professional. The rooms are of a decent size. They were able to discuss some activities, like they go on field trips and they take the residents to the grocery store or the mall.

I have a great sense of confidence in the straff where my mom lives. I can put my head on my pillow at night knowing she is well cared for. The atmosphere is always busy and welcoming, I feel like a part of the family. To see my mom put her trust in her care givers is touching to me as a family member. I would recommend Brighton Gardens of Mountainside to anyone looking for a place for their family member for peace of mind.

This facility was overall, very nice. Brighton Gardens is located in a suburb area. Most people here are generally well off and therefore the community is well off. Even though my grandma does not speak English very well, there are several well knit communities within the assisted living center. She is allowed to interact with other Asians living there. From my visit, I could see that there is quite a schedule for activities. People who are living there are never bored, as they have movies, bingo, card games, and even wii and xbox. The staff is very amicable as well. They greeted my dad and I with a hearty welcome when we visited and helped me find my grandmother's room. Although they don't seem too busy all the time, they are nice people. The facilities were clean too. The room itself was clean although it was just a tiny small. Overall, my visit to this assisted living facility was splendid and I look forward to visiting my grandma here again.

A good friend of mine was referred to this place by his family. I visit him often according to his time and enjoy seeing him. I have observed the facility is clean and the staff are always helpful whenever I need to find my friend. My friend seems at peace and enjoys what the facility offers. He tells me the place is like school where he is learning and enjoying others and activities around him. He laughs how he doesn't have to worry about cleaning and laundry because everything is done. I enjoy seeing my friend during sunny weathers because of its fresh air,beautiful, peaceful, and safe atmosphere. I guess when I turn old I would rather prefer this place then anywhere else. I visit my friend from time to time and bring in his favorite snacks, magazines and books, however I miss seeing him on a daily basis.

Brighton Gardens has some beautiful facilities in a very convenient location right off of Route 22. It is located in a wonderful, wooded environment and plenty of programs are available to those that are staying at the facility. After touring and participating in many events located at the facility over the years, I can attest to the high quality of living that I would be extremely happy to have the honor of receiving when its my turn to participate in assisted living. One example of the many programs available at Brighton Gardens is the new spring flower planting course, which happens to be run by a local Eagle Scout hopeful. In the class, those living at the facility will learn how to plant and take care of spring flowers in their own, hand-built planters with a team of experienced instructors. All in all, Brighton Gardens is a place I would feel safe leaving any one of my family members, including my very own parents and myself.
