Brighton Gardens of Mountainside

My father was there for barely 2 months, and in sever decline prior to his passing on the [date removed], but I can say, is his room and him personally were always clean. The facility itself appeared to be in order and clean overall. His room was sufficient for the condition he was in, but if he was more aware of his surroundings and had spent a lot of time in the room, I'd say it was a bit small. The administrator for memory care, [name removed] was extraordinary. Sure personally saw to it that all the residents were being given the appropriate care, many times jumping in herself to assure this. [name removed] was also an unbelievable asset to that memory care unit. My only bad experience, which is still occurring is the billing department for Sunrise overall. Aside from when we moved him in, the bill has never been correct and we've had to wait and most often never got answers to our questions so the bill could be paid on time. They would never respond then had the nerve to charge us a late fee

Review for Brighton Gardens of Mountainside

My mom has been there for about 7 weeks and she is adjusting to it and has surprisingly become a little more social as well. Of course we just have to get used to people don't do things the way we would do it but on a hole we are very happy with the decision of going there and my mom felt comfortable because she used to work there as well.

We toured the facility with my mother in law. It’s very clean and well appointed. They were having a family luncheon during our visit so many of the residents were there with family. The staff seemed very engaged with the residents and my overall impression was very positive.

Our family's experience

The staff are nice and the place is clean. My mom's biggest complaint is that sometimes she presses the button for assistance and it takes a long time. The shared room is very small. The small studio is a nice size and bright.

Extremely caring and helpful staff. They could sometimes be stretched thin, which became an issue when my mom's health worsened. But they really took care with her and I felt they created a warm environment. She didn't love the food. The rooms were clean and a decent size.

Highly recommended Brighton Gardens

Brighton Gardens is wonderful. Caring staff and clean. I highly recommend them. My mother was in memory care, but only for a few months because she passed away on [date removed]. She had just turned 99 years old.

Brighton Gardens of Mountainside

My mom is in the memory care unit and is confined to a wheelchair because she can't walk or really do anything for herself. Therefore I was very pleasantly surprised that they've taken her on monthly bus rides around the area, which she loves. She also loves when they bring in their piano player to entertain the residents. I think the grounds outside are very nice and we enjoy sitting out front. The rooms are also very nice, and mom feels at home. The aides are wonderful and take great care of mom. We are very happy with Brighton Gardens!!

Our family's experience, would not recommend

Food was inconsistent and not very good. Staff was nice and activities OK. We had issues with the administration staff. After a hospitalization they made it impossible for my wife to stay there due to additional financial requirements they only informed us the day before she was discharged. The way they handled was unprofessional and unethical. Their corporate office (c-level person) said there actions were not consistent with company policy but I had moved my wife to [community removed] already. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Review for Brighton Gardens of Mountainside

Love the staff. They know me (his daughter) and my dad my name and sight Cleanliness is ok. Dining my dad loves the food. He does not do any of the activities at this time. We do not like needing to pay $12 a meal when he can't come to breakfast because he has insomnia and does not sleep well at all. Its already a heavy cost to use assisted living.

Brighton Gardens of Mountainside

My low evaluation score in the medical field is due to the Nursing Department being completely disorganized. They insisted that I pick up my mothers diabetic testing strips from a pharmacy about 25 miles away from my home. Their rationale was that some relatives lived in other parts of Jersey and had to travel to South Plainfield. In addition, they did not inform the doctor that they were testing her four times a day instead of the two times they were testing. Therefore, I had to pay additional money out of my pocket because the prescription indicated twice daily. It appears that the test strips may had been used for other residents. I purchased 300 test strips, and a month later, I was informed that she was running out and needed to buy more. When I told the staff member I had just purchased the 300 strips, there was a brief memory lapse. Each time she went to the hospital, her sugar levels were normal. Each time my mother went to the hospital, they checked thoroughly, which meant my mother was stuck and probed. Needles are in the arm, and the catheter is inserted into her fragile body. My mother suffered from being sent to the hospital over 10 times within 9 months

Very Impressed

I give a 5 for all categories. My current comments are they need to have more activities for memory care, and more help on the weekends and hiring volunteers from colleges majoring in elder care to help with the activities. They should also hire a manicurist for men's nails.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know New Jersey’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about New Jersey’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
