TheoMaggie 2022-01-29 We have been there for 2 years paying our rent regularly, now new management raised rent 8%, chargied my Mom $150 late fee (haven't changed a thing in bill pay) and threatened eviction. Mind you, they have cashed all her rent checks and her lease isn't up until March. Maybe this is why they have so many vacancies. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Morfut 2021-09-06 I toured The Gables of Brighton and that was exquisite. Their receptionist was nice and friendly. I think I met the director or the manager, and she showed us around. She showed me a 1-bedroom studio. I really approved of them. Everything was included. It was $150 a month for food. If you want a snack later on the night, that's also included. You just call the kitchen, I guess. They also had their activities. They go out on outings. They had an ice cream social when I was leaving there. I visited this facility

Pattie 2021-08-05 The Gables of Brighton was great. They showed us six different examples of apartments. The apartments were way larger than I thought and very nice. We had the executive director accompanied us along with the lady who manages the apartments. They were very informative, professional, and willing to answer any questions. They had everything, including a beauty parlor and an exercise room. The other clients that we met were friendly and some were sitting outside. They were very friendly and nice. I found them to be very clean and I saw nothing that needed maintenance. They looked like they were well cared for. I visited this facility

Linda 2021-01-03 The Gables of Brighton is nice and my mother likes it. The staff is good, her apartment is really nice, and she really likes the food. Her room is a very nice studio apartment and she really likes it. The layout of the place is good, there's lots of friendly people there. There's bingo and she also went to some sort of Veterans Day show that she liked. The staff is very helpful and nice. They have a nice dining room and she said that the food is always good and hot. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Jeanne 2020-01-23 The Gables of Brighton is actually in my top four. It's very clean, the residents seem to be very happy there, the food is very good, and the meal service seemed very well-run. We're impressed; it's one of the possibilities for my parents. The first visit I met with Julie who was the executive director, and the second visit I toured with Michael who was from sales. Both were very thorough, they answered my questions, and followed up with me. They were very conscientious; it was a really good visit. I visited this facility

Patricia 2019-08-18 We visited the Gables of Brighton. We were looking at their independent living, and it was interesting to see and to talk to people there. It seemed like a very nice place, it seemed well run, and the people seemed happy there. The apartment was nice, more spacious than I expected, and they had a lot of activities. They're renovating some of the places; the dining room had just been renovated. I visited this facility

Eileen 2019-07-05 My cousin has moved into The Gables of Brighton. They are doing a great job of making her almost happy. Her room is clean. They have a lot of activity. They have exercise room, hairdresser, library, piano, dining room, and social room. The dining room is clean and bright with a varied menu. They provide nice service, too. They pay attention to special requests. The staff members are warm and caring. They have a book discussion, they have somebody playing the piano, they have card games, they have bingo, and they have cultural trips and shopping trips. There is somebody who can do shopping for you if you are not able. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

CJ 2019-06-24 My mother is doing great at The Gables of Brighton. She is very happy there. It's a very comfortable place. They're active. There's nothing negative. The staff is marvelous, absolutely wonderful, helpful, caring, and watching out for her. Her room is an apartment, very warm, comfortable, and it's got great windows. The dining area is welcoming, elegant, spacious, and clean. The food is sometimes a 10, sometimes a 5. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Virginia 2018-09-29 We visited the nice independent living level of The Gables of Brighton. Everybody had a little patio or a little balcony. The rooms were very nice and clean. The dining area was very lovely and served two meals a day. They had a salon, a fitness area, and transportation service. I visited this facility

Nancy 2018-05-31 Brookdale Brighton was very nice. They showed me a 1-bedroom and a 2-bedroom, and they were very nice, a good-size, and livable. They layout was good and I liked it. The staff member was very knowledgeable, pleasant, and nice. I enjoyed talking to them, and I had a pretty good experience with them. I visited this facility

5 4 1

Elaine764537 2016-11-24 Brookdale Brighton was landscaped really nicely. It was kind of woodsy, but the place was beautiful and clean. The staff was wonderful, but I thought the apartments were small. They have exercise classes which I thought was nice. I was very impressed. I visited this facility

Tom705284 2016-09-01 We were treated very warmly at Brookdale Brighton. All of our questions were answered. They went to a lot of trouble to make sure our questions were fully answered. It was a nice tour. It was a very enjoyable experience. It was fully informative and very useful in the sense that they answered our questions. They gave us a feeling for “how” and not just what people were doing but how they were doing it. It wasn’t all that big, it was more of an intimate feeling, but it was located near everything that we wanted to go and see. I visited this facility

5 4 1

Pat123962250 2016-05-10 Brookdale Brighton was fine, friendly, and very focused on independent living. My friend was not able to take advantage of that, but it was good. They had outside services that come in to assist people, which is interesting. They’re independent living, but then outside services come in to help keep people there, so they don’t have to leave. That’s very helpful. It didn’t meet our needs though, but I could see where it would meet other people’s need. I visited this facility

5 3 1

Amanda19 2016-05-10 I like Brookdale Brighton for my aunt. It was lovely, but the only problem was, for someone with dementia, there were too many hallways to go down to get to the main area. The staff that I talked to was nice. The rooms were nice, and the bathrooms were set up with towels and shower curtains. I visited this facility

Anonymous117134850 2015-12-15 My tour at Brookdale Brighton was pretty good. Their apartments are very nice. My uncle has a very roomy studio apartment. The only complaint I have would be with the food. They have a new chef, and the food hasn’t been that great. They have a pond in the back and a couple of seats where the residents can sit. Activities include going to concerts and having someone come in, usually once or twice a week, to give a concert. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Caring110391250 2015-07-14 The Gables at Brighton was beautiful with also beautiful rooms. They offered driving to doctor’s appointments and to grocery stores. The staff was very nice, the food was good, and the cost was reasonable. I think they have everything, like they can get their hair done, exercises, music room, gauging people in different things, and reading groups. It is not assisted living, so they didn’t have medical back up, but I think they should have a medical back up in case they fall. I visited this facility

Karen106067950 2015-05-04 Gables at Brighton was nice, but they only do like all inclusive, and I was looking for more of a meal program where you wouldn't have to go down every breakfast, lunch, and dinner with everybody and you could just pay as you go, and they do not offer that. I visited this facility

5 5 1

Darryl1377 2014-11-14 Gables at Brighton was clean. It was spacious and nice. It was a good place to be. It was really homey. They have arts and crafts. It was very nice. Regarding the neighborhood, it's a very busy residential area, but it is kind of set back a little bit, so that makes it nice. It's convenient. It is near a hospital. I visited this facility

Gene12 2014-09-08 The Gables at Brighton is in a pretty wooded area, but it is centrally located. There are a lot of things very close by, i.e., grocery store and the doctors. The apartments were lovely. They weren't huge, but they were plenty big enough. The views out the window were beautiful. You can have a nice walk around the place. There are three meals a day. There are a lot of things to do. The Gables was very nice. The staff seemed to be very pleasant. It was my favorite of all of them, but it was way too expensive for me. The dining area was lovely. It wasn't too big. In terms of activities, there were something every day and there were things that I would have enjoyed. They have a bus that takes you places. They have pool table. They have concerts. I would definitely recommend this place to others. I visited this facility

Debby6 2014-04-01 My father is at the Gables right now. I really like it. For what we need it for, it's just fine for him. They have little programs during the day, 10 o'clock is exercise. The food is very good, and the cleanliness is awesome. It's a very nice environment. It has very nice energy, is bright, and it has been awesome. They have their own apartments. Because some people don't want to just sit around their house and watch TV by themselves, probably, they have a TV room where they can all share the same TV, but at 7 o'clock, they watch movies together, so I guess that would be fine. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Caring75551450 2014-01-27 Dad was at the Gables of Brighton, but he became ill and needs to go back to the hospital. He was only there for a month. The place was very nice and they took care of my father. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Clive1 2012-06-30 My sister and I toured this facility and happened to like it. As a matter of fact we just moved our father there last week. The price is very reasonable. I like that they provide transportation to appointments. They have a lot of good diverse schedule of activities. Most of all I really like their dining facility. It's really huge and it's like a restaurant than like a dining hall. There are different plans one can sign up for. There's not a breakfast or lunch but a brunch. So the brunch is included everyday but the dinner it's extra and you can sign up for 10 meals a month, 20 or 30. We had him for 20 meals a month. His apartment is nice. The staff seemed caring. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Independent Living Reviews for The Gables of Brighton

January 29, 2022

By TheoMaggie

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

We have been there for 2 years paying our rent regularly, now new management raised rent 8%, chargied my Mom $150 late fee (haven't changed a thing in bill pay) and threatened eviction. Mind you, they have cashed all her rent checks and her lease isn't up until March. Maybe this is why they have so many vacancies.

Provider Response

TheoMaggie, Thank you for reaching out to us and letting us know about your thoughts on The Gables of Brighton. We are so sorry to hear that you've had an unpleasant experience with the rent charge. We are constantly looking for better quality food and supplies for our residents so they can have the best quality of life at our communities. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing pandemic and the sluggish economy, the cost of living has gone up and affected the supply and demand at the local level. We are trying our best to minimize the financial effects for our residents and their loved ones. Please reach out to us, and we will make every effort to resolve these issues for you. We would love to chat with you and hear your thoughts and ideas for us to improve. Sincerely!
