Brighton Gardens of Washington Township

My mother has been at Brighton Gardens of Washington Township for years. She likes it, but the problem is the pricing has gone up, and they also don't accept anything but private pay. As long as she's been doing the private pay there's not been an issue, but more recently they moved her to a higher care threshold, and that has cost her more money. That's why I have some concerns about that. As a facility, it's a good one. They're well staffed and the people seem to know what they're doing. It's like living in a hotel. They have everything. It's really nice, and it works for her. I had to put her in a double when her insurance ran out. She had a private room, and it was very, very nice. They had activities inside the building like exercise class, movies, electronic games, and live music come in, and ministerial activities from local churches, but because of the COVID situation they've curtailed all that, and haven't really had that since March. The location is pretty convenient. Anyone around the Dayton area could take the highway almost right to it. You jump off the highway and you're there. It's pretty easy to get to. They have pretty good food. It's still an institution, but there's nothing wrong with their food. I've had meals with my mother there, and it's not like home cooking. It's a nice facility, but they're a bit on the pricy side.

We went to Brighton Gardens of Washington Township. It was nice, they had a nice living area that people were gathered around, and they were getting together because it was near supper time. I remember the TV set with comfortable seating, and we saw a couple of different rooms. In the smaller room, they used the furniture to divide the living area and the sleeping area, and there was a small area to prepare simple food. It seemed nice, it wasn't overly crowded, and it looked comfortable. The other room had a bedroom off the living area, it was of course larger, and it all seemed comfortable. The facility was clean and well kept.

Brighton Gardens of Washington Township is a huge facility. My friend would have been totally lost there. The staff was friendly. They do a lot of trips.

We liked Brighton Gardens at Washington Township, but they didn't offer what we needed. The rooms were pleasant, but the 2-bedroom they had was too small. The setupiss OK for a couple, but not for a mother and son. I like that the place was very welcoming and warm, and from that aspect, they're the best among the ones we looked at. They have a full list of activities, which is pretty standard for places like this, and activities include field trips, gaming, they have a variety of people coming in, and so on. The staff was very pleasant. They are setup where each group has their own assigned person, and I really liked that.

I did like Brighton Gardens. It was clean, friendly, and seemed well-maintained. All the staff members that we passed during the tour were friendly. The dining area looked well-maintained and had a welcoming environment. There seemed to be lots of activity there. The staff encouraged the residents to be involved. They have an outdoor walking path around the building and they have a walking club.

We really liked Brighton Gardens of Washington Township, but they cost more and don't take government funds. I liked them better because it was more of a skilled nursing facility and their staffing was better than other places.

I liked Brighton Gardens of Washington Township very much. I got a good impression. The staff was extremely nice. I saw them dealing with residents there, and I liked what I saw. I liked the contact that they had with the patients. I was just impressed. Everyone was really friendly. There was a large activity room. I met with the director, who seemed very enthusiastic. I think they would offer just about anything that a person might be interested in. They had bingo and some social gatherings. I thought the dining room was very nice and inviting. The general area where people were sitting was beautifully decorated, warm, and comfortable-looking. I didn't feel like I was in an assisted living facility. I could have been in a hotel almost, and I was really impressed by that.

My father is in Brighton Gardens, and it's very bright and cheery. There are a lot of people around in the lobby. The room, even though we picked the smallest room, is a pretty good size. The food seems to be pretty good. I would say they are probably short-staffed like any nursing home or assisted living, but the people that work there are very friendly and try to do a really good job. They do his laundry at night on a Wednesday and don't bring it back until Friday or Saturday, so I think that's not very timely. Also, not everybody wears their name tags. That would be helpful for my father to know who these people are.
