  We attempted to move our loved ones into this assisted living facility, but the apartment was not move-in ready. Basic repairs (AC, missing faceplates, cabinet damage, shower seat hole) were dismissed as me asking for “extras”. Less than 24 hours before our scheduled move, we were told they could not accept them due to medications not being by their pharmacy—despite having already taken possession on the 15th and scheduling movers for the 28th. On the 27th the unit still had construction equipment inside, including a sink in the middle of the room. We were then told they “didn’t realize” we were planning to move in. We have also not received a refund.

  My 95 year old mother lived at Brighton Gardens of Mountainside from January of 2024 until she passed in July of 2024. She had suffered a stroke in November of 2023 and my wife and I were no longer able to provide the level of care she required after her one month stay in subacute rehab. After researching and visiting facilities in the area, we decided on Brighton Gardens. My mother was apprehensive about moving into assisted living and it took her about a month to accept that she could not return home and acclimate herself to life at Brighton Gardens. Once she settled in and made some friends, my mother was the happiest she had been in years. She got involved in activities and enjoyed the live entertainment and other events held at the facility. My mom also loved the staff and I could tell when I visited that they were fond of her too. Regarding my family and me, Brighton Gardens provided us with peace of mind that mom was being well taken care of. Two standout staff members are Carol, the Director of Sales and Kim, the resident RN. Both Carol and Kim were there for my mom and my family for whatever we needed regarding her care. Claudia in the rehab center was also excellent and got my mother into the best possible physical condition. The rest of the staff was always very good natured, helpful and respectful. Making the choice to place a parent into assisted living is not easy. If you find yourself in that position, I highly recommend touring Brighton Gardens. I feel my mother and family were very fortunate they had a room available. They helped make my mom's last few months happy ones.
