I love this community!! There is not a more caring team than this one!! Several employees have been with the company over a decade. They are truly family. Rhonda is the best activity director, constantly thinking of new and fun things to do with the residents. Her heart is unmatched. The new Administrator, Carrie is amazing! She's professional, genuine and kind. She has lead the team to new heights! If you are looking to place your loved one somewhere clean, warm and capable, look no further! Brighter Living is an assisted living gem!

Beautiful community! Everyone seemed so happy when my mother and I toured with Victoria. You could tell the residents are happy and that the employees care! Truly am hoping this is the place my mom chooses!

We recently called and spoke with Mrs. Broughton about this facility as we have been searching for the perfect fit for our family member. She was able to answer all of questions as well as go over different things we hadn’t thought about. We are looking forward to our family member being a part of the community in the near future. You can tell they truly care about the residents as well as the employees.

Awesome facility, great atmosphere, clean, odor free, happy residents. It seems like there is always something for their residents to do, they stay busy. Very welcoming!

When you have brought hospice in to care for a patient, is it mandatory to keep their loved ones from seeing them completely? Just curious if the goal is to keep the dying patient from possibly catching covid or to keep the family from catching covid? From my understanding, the family is allowed to see their loved one when it's right at the end and the patient has lost almost all function. So it seems that the goal is to continue isolating the patient/loved one so that they dont catch covid in their final days. It just seems really sadistic and I would love for someone to clear this issue up for me a bit.
