I toured with Brighton Gardens of Mountainside. It was a very nice facility but it was harder to get too and also further away from family than we wanted her to be.

It is way too expensive, but it was probably the best place that we looked at. My mom was in the memory care unit which is always tougher. I saw the food and it could be better. Overall it was a very nice place and the staff were great. Unfortunately my mom passed away after a few months of being here, but I thought the staff were awesome.

December 28, 2022Hi Peter, Thank you for the wonderful things you said about Brighton Gardens of Mountainside and the dedicated care givers and team members. Our residents are part of the Sunrise family and we take enormous pride in having the privilege to take care of them.
I toured this community and it's excellent. I know several people who have loved one's here and they all love it. Definitely a more active community in a suburban area. This was our top choice. The only reason we didn't choose it is because it's too far from home and we wanted our loved one to be a bit closer to home than he would have been here. I would recommend it to family and friends as an option.

Our family had an in person tour and the amenities were lovely, they had nice big rooms but no built in kitchens and it was much more expensive. -
Before paying extra fees for services, make sure your parent needs those services before paying for them.

We had a bad expedience with Brighton Gardens. The tour was fine and we got to the nursing assessment and I do not think it was handled well. They did not seem to be mindful of my mother and what she was going through. I did not feel it was a good fit and then the sales person hounded me after I told them it was not going to work out demanding for an explanation.

I looked at 2 others facilities and chose Brighton Gardens because it was more professional in their presentation, actual appearance and physicality of the building itself, and seemed much safer which gave me more re-assuring that my mother would be well taken care of. The room size she had was great for her needs. The people who took care of my mom every day took care of her like it was their own mom. I would absolutely recommend.

We have had a great experience with Brighton Gardens of Mountainside. We chose it because I needed to find a place quickly and they had availability quickly and I felt more comfortable here. I have only seen my mothers room on the memory care side, but it is on the smaller side and they do have other sizes to choose from. If you compare to some other assisted livings, it is not as fancy but it is very homey and clean and the people here really care. I would absolutely recommend to others looking.
