It's geared toward control and they don't help you out at all. The higher-ups are all mean and nasty. They starve you. They don't follow rules. One of the staff threatened to kill me. It's abuse.

I have a brother who has been a resident at Brighton Place West for the past five years. The administrator ( Stephanie) has done an excellent job hiring a staff that have the residents best interests as their top priority. The staff are kind and go beyond what I have seen in other residences that my brother has lived in. I would recommend this facility to anyone looking for a facility that caters to special needs adults. Thank you Stephanie and staff!
