Brighton Gardens of Wheaton

The person who gave us the tour greeted us at the door, did a great job showing us around and convinced our loved one to move in. Our loved one is doing good for himself and he says he is at home here. He is really enjoying the meals and dining service and all the activities. We really like how the staff has meetings with the residents every week to sit down and listen to all their feedback - it makes them feel like they have a voice. Based on our experience we would recommend Brighton Gardens to other families.

Least attractive location on a busy street. Fully vaccinated staff who were friendly and open. Best combination of price and room layout.

Communication is good between the staff and our family is very good. They keep us well informed and up to date. The staff is very friendly and the community offers good value for the money. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.

The staff is very accommodating and it's a smaller community and I feel my loved one gets better attention. Communication is good and I receive updates 2-3 a week. I would recommend this community to others

My father was a resident for 8 months before he passed away. I would not recommend this facility at all. We had several bad experiences one was he pulled the emergency cord in the public bathroom on the main floor because he needed assistance after breakfast no one came so he reset it again and pulled it once again still nobody came (so by now 15 minutes passed) so he reset it and pulled it again still nobody came so by now its 30 minutes past the first time he pulled it, so he decided to walk out into the hallway with no pants and finally he was assisted. This bathroom is in the main hallway right by the receptionist and just off the dinning room. Another time he wasnt feeling well (I had the stomach flu so I could not go check on him) we called the nurse in charge to check on him. Her response was in a little while. I called him 1hour later to see if they had been in he said no. So I called my sister she called they said after lunch (which was in about 1 hour) so i called him in 1 hour no one still had not gone in, called my sister she went to check on him questioned the nurse why no one had been in to check him she had no answer. I requested they call me after they check him its now 430pm. This all started at 8am. The nurse said his vitals were fine,I stated you do realize he has terminal cancer his response laughing. "no but I do now". I would not even consider this Place. The charge nurse [name removed] is more concerned about her puppy she brings to work than the residence. Oh becareful where you step the house dog has accidents because no one lets her out when she barks at the door

Of course the rating above is my interpretation, I am not the one living there my mother is. The people seem very friendly and go out of there way to engage the residents. As far as money there are some things that seem a bit pricey for what they are.

My mom swore that she’s never reside in an assisted living facility but there she is and it’s working out. She truly enjoys many of the stafff members and most of the meals. Brighten gardens is a manageable size, not too big. Occasionally her favorite activity is cancelled for no apparent reasons which is disappointing. I also feel the activities are limited. However the activity director is incredibly friendly and caring and loved by all the residents. I recommend Brighton Gardens

I went on a tour here and everything went really well. The staff was nice and friendly. They answered all of my questions. It was clean and tidy. Looked wonderful and it was a little misleading to me. They quoted me one price and we scheduled to move my dad in and then 2 weeks away the added the price of the medicine and he started out with 6 after their review it went from 6 to 10 meds and 2,500 dollars more. So I had to go with other accommodations.

This is a good community for my brother to be in. The staff is caring and the community is clean. The menu is good and he likes the amany variety of the meals. He does stay active in some of the activities that are offered. We would recommend this nice and caring community for the good care and value that is available for a loved one.

Very warm and friendly atmosphere for an assisted living facility. Bright and cheerful décor with a nice sense of community. Love the activities planned for the residents such as Luau night, Paris night, Disco night. Also great daily activities that include meditation, exercise, current events, clipping coupons for those in need, bowling and religious services.

We liked the tour from the nice staff. This is a very clean community that offers good healthy meals and a lot of nice activities are available. We liked the cleanliness and the nice environment. We would recommend that other families tour this community for the care of a loved one.

My sister is pretty content since her move to this community. I do feel she is in good hands, and safe. The staff is taking good care of her, and treating her very well. She has not had any complaints with her move to this facility. The sales lady at this community was very professional, and helpful. They were able to accommodate us in a short time period. This is a community I would highly recommend, it is working out very well for us.

I have no complaints about how things are going for my mother since she made the move into this community. The staff are friendly and made sure to help with the transition as well as making sure that he is getting adjusted in her new apartment. She has been enjoying the meals as well as the other activities available to all of the other residents.

The staff are friendly and respond to our questions quickly. Mom likes the food and some of the daily activities. This is a smaller community and they keep it well taken care of. I would recommend this community.

Dad is doing well and Mom is slowly adjusting. We chose this location for several reasons and room size is definitely one of them! The staff is really easy to talk with and they answer all my questions. They have alot of activities and slowly but surely Mom is taking part in the ones she likes. Mom does think's the food could be a little better but it's pretty good. I would recommend this place.
