Brighton Gardens of Mountainside

Brighton Gardens of Mountainside was very nice and very attractive. We didn't go on a big tour because it was already late. I would have liked to have seen other stuff, but I got to see the dining area though and it was very pretty. Then we went to see a room and it looked very clean and very attractive too. It would have been a lovely place for my husband. Maureen was very nice. It's just I was a little agitated because I had an appointment but then I waited a while because they were working with somebody else. I just didn't feel like I was the most important thing at that point. She was doing too many things and she should have dedicated more time to just doing the task at hand and concentrated on me, and not be running all over the place. Still, the place was bright, cheery, and the colors were very pretty.

I saw both assisted living and memory care at Brighton Gardens of Mountainside. Being that they were my least favorite, I wouldn't suggest them unless you're comfortable putting your loved one in a cohabitation situation. It was a little uncomfortable because I went there with the intention that my mother would need her own personal space and so forth. I just felt like I was being pushed in a direction of it being better for my mom to share an apartment with another individual. I was not OK, nor was I comfortable with that, especially with the pandemic. We don't know them, they don't know us, and I don't feel comfortable putting my mom in a roommate situation. She showed us a one-bedroom. One person will be in the bedroom, and the other one can convert what should be the living room into their bedroom, and there's no privacy there. Price-wise, it would be better, but money is not an issue. I don't feel comfortable. My mom needs to have her own apartment by herself, and she needs her independency. I'm not going to put up with her having to room with somebody else. I didn't get to meet the staff. It was just the young lady with whom I had the meeting. The facility wasn't bad. It was just that one little hiccup as far as sharing a room. One of the common areas had a ceiling-to-ground, nicely structured bookshelf, with so many books. This common area leads out into the patio area, which is pretty nice. The facility was good. They've done a good job to make it feel like home for the guests. They had enough amenities, so they can choose what they want to do or lounge in their rooms.

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.
