Brightondale Senior Campus

I toured Brightondale Senior Campus and I was very impressed, it was a nice community. They made the top of my list, but I chose another community because Brightondale's building was old and needed some repairs. Also, one of the administrative members made an unprofessional comment; she stated that she was going to try and convince me to move into the assisted living side instead of independent.

I didn’t care much for Brightondale Senior Campus at all. The facility seemed really dark.

Brightondale did not seem as up to date as some of the other facilities that I checked out. There was nothing wrong, it was just that the atmosphere was not the right fit for my loved one.

Our family had an in person tour and for some reason we just did not get the feeling this was the right place. I liked it more then some of my other family members.

The staff is very helpful and friendly and know everyone's name. My loved one has made lots of new friends. They have lots of events and activities available. The community is in a great location within walking distance of shopping, a church, restaurants, and pharmacy service. I would recommend this community to others.

I love the staff. They're very friendly and helpful, and they know the residents by first name. They get to know everyone face to face, which is nice. I have a couple of the nurses on speed dial. They call me once a week and ask if I want to schedule a haircut, or let me know my friend needs this or that. They keep me very informed about what's going on. They run a pretty tight ship!

We chose Brightondale based off of the convenient location. When I presented the options to my uncle this is the one because he had comfort being in a familiar area. The apartment sizes are plenty adequate for his needs. They communicate well and update me whenever needed. When I have raised questions myself, they respond quickly. I would recommend.

We chose Brightondale at the time because the lady that was helping me with everything was very friendly and accommodating, more so than the others. My mom has a smaller apartment and it is quite nice, it is a great size for her. I have talked to other residents there as well and they rave about their apartments. It also looks like they have great activities provided for the residents, we just haven't been able to experience all of it yet. I would tell others to make sure to check into the nursing side. They have Life Stark for nursing and it is expensive, so make sure just to check into that and determine how much care your loved one needs and be diligent about watching the charges. Overall it is a great place and I would recommend.

We chose Brightondale Senior Campus because when we toured the facility, it just felt like home for my mom. The room sizes here are very good and spacious. She has a bigger living room and bedroom than at her previous house. She says the food is hit or miss, depending on who is cooking that day. The best part about the community is that the staff really seems to care about their residents. It is overall a nice place and a perfect fit for her.

My loved one has already had friends ask me about this community. I let them know that it was a wonderful place for my loved one, and it is a great fit. The dining room is back open. Some of the activities include bus rides, tours of old mansions in the city, exercise class, bingo, concerts, the word thing, debate, movies, and more activities are offered for the residents. They did outdoor visits during the summer by appointment with your loved one. There was a staff member to assist with visits.

My mom was in memory care. The food was not good and was served cold. It was better when she was in Assisted Living. The rooms were very nice. The staff was helpful, some were better than others. The nursing staff was great. They have a music room with a piano and offered religious services which was important to us.

Easy to find, visitor parking space small but lots next door. I was very impressed with the personnel that I met. They were genuine, caring and kind to me and to the residents that I saw. I was very glad to see that there are some care facility corporations that aren't too big to remember their mission to care for individuals. I saw a few residents, one of whom gave an unsolicited great endorsement for the community. The atmosphere/ambience of Brightondale is somewhat subdued but comfortable. I am taking my friend along to another visit to find out if he is as interested in living here as I felt he would be. I would definitely recommend Brightondale as a good place to consider first. They have staff that have remained loyal for years and that is saying something very good about this employer in this day and age of rapid staff turnaround.

The food is hit or miss. My husband enjoys the activities. He has blended well with the community members.

Our loved one lived at Brightondale Reflections Memory card for only about 6 weeks, and then she passed away.

My parents have been at Meadowood Shores nearly 4 months and are really enjoying living there. It took them a little while to settle in, but they're having regular dinners now and participating in activities with the community. They're also getting to know their fellow residents. Recently, while discussing the activities she'd participated in during the last week (Halloween dinner, a birthday party, bingo and an upcoming celebration of the veterans at Meadowood Shores), my mother said "yeah, this is a really nice place :)". The transition from their home of 45 years has been amazingly smooth and a good part of that can be attributed to the friendliness of Meadowood Shores community.

For the tour, [name removed] was very nice and explained things thoroughly. The medical services are provided through another company and you are charged "a la carte" and this is why another review said 'they nickle and dime you'. A disadvantage to this is that it would be harder to budget your money. The building was clean and I noticed no smells. It does seem a bit tired and a little run down. I went around 10 am and there were few residents about. The staff knew each resident and seemed to have rapport there. Another disadvantage of this place is that it is all private pay. If you or your loved one's money runs out there may have to be another move.

My wife used to live at this facility and it was the best one she has lived at out of 3 different places. This community has assisted living and a memory unit. They were newer when my wife moved in but they were good at working out most of the kinks. The care was really good for what I was paying. I would recommend this facility to other families.
