Brighton Gardens of Saddle River

Staff is really nice. Feels like a homey place. I toured a lot of places and Brighton Gardens is the best place for us. The fireplace in the lobby is very inviting. The food is really good. The new chef is really good, food is important. The studio is cozy. Very convenient to get to, right off of the highway.

I am actually giving Zero/No stars! You actually are showing pictures like this is a five star hotel?. Are you kidding me—are you serious or haven’t you been in the place for years on end?!! Most residents don’t bring in brand new furniture in their rooms & they certainly don’t come prefurnished!; the dining area and bathrooms have never looked like this in the entire time my mom was here. It is run by a manager who is nothing more than a glorified salesman and a supervisor who also doesn’t have one ounce of compassion and def doesn’t look out for the resident’s best interests! I wouldn’t put my dog here. As a matter of fact I am traumatized by what I saw my mom go through here and I was on top of everything constantly after I saw how she was being treated. If your loved one is in control of going to the bathroom when they get there it certainly won’t be long before they lose that as well. Not enough staff to care for each resident! Personally there are some great staff members who work very hard and don’t get paid nearly enough money and there are the ones who ignore the residents requests and end up stealing from the ones who don’t know any better. I can go on forever but for now I’ll stop. I’m getting physically ill just thinking about it again. Bring in an aide to your home & save yourself t heartache! This parent is deceased.

Brighton seemed like it had a lot going on which is ok but a little less homey and more of a corporate feel than some of the other communities I visited. Didn't think it was the right fit for my 93 year old mom but seemed to have a lot of activities and good level of care. Tour was adequate.
