My Mom and Dad have been at Brighton Gardens since June 2025. My Dad passed in January, my Mom is days from following him. No one wants to see their parents age, but it’s part of the Circle of life that we must accept. We feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to place my folks here at Brighton, the facility is clean, bright, airy, like a small, intimate hotel. But what makes Brighton special, is the internal staff and the hospice services they use. This staff cares, they truly care! There simply is not enough money, not enough gratitude, not enough respect for what these people do and endure. I will be eternally grateful to Brighton as a facility and to all of their staff. They have given me something very rare, and nearly impossible to buy… peace of mind

wonderful environment; very caring staff. It looks like a warm, airy, hotel. Can't say enough good things about it. Especially the nurse, Lisa. :)

My parents moved into the facility 6 weeks ago and it has been a wonderful experience. My mom is in the memory care unit and seems to be adjusting well, is very happy, doing tons of art projects, and we get lots of great pictures and updates through their family activities app. My dad is in assisted living, has begun participating in the myriad of activities, and has even been able to plant tomatoes, his favorite summer activity that was important for him to continue. For my sister and I, we have nothing but great things to say about the facility. The staff is incredible - extremely communicative, constantly reaching out with updates, and keeping us informed. My daughter loves visiting because of the cats that roam assisted living and the bird in memory care. It has been super welcoming for our family visits, no one seems bothered by my young ones being around and there are always other families there. I am very pleased with this facility and it has been a great decision for our family!

Brighton Gardens has provided my Aunt (98 years old) with wonderful care for almost 2 years. Ava and her Team on the 3rd floor are wonderful - very caring and available to my Aunt.
