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

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.

My dad moved into Brighton Gardens in Mountainside in April. He has received excellent care and they keep a very close eye on him and his health. They are kind and caring, and do a great job keeping him busy and engaged. Every time I visit, I am amazed at how kind the staff is and how happy the other residents are. The peace of mind knowing he is safe and well cared for is priceless. He likes everyone there (the staff and his fellow residents) which says a lot about the management of this facility. We toured many places before making a final decision, and this place felt most like home (Thank you Maureen). This was the best decision we could have made, and I am so happy my dad has acclimated so well. If you’re in the market for assisted living, do yourself a favor and take a tour here before you make a final decision.

My father became a resident in July. The staff has been amazing helping him acclimate to his new home. Everyone is friendly and helpful. There are two people that stand out in his everyday care. Wendy at the front desk and Shirley his third floor caregiver have been excellent in helping him deal with his anxiety. He has three wonderful meals a day and companionship. What more could you ask for.

My 95 year old mother lived at Brighton Gardens of Mountainside from January of 2024 until she passed in July of 2024. She had suffered a stroke in November of 2023 and my wife and I were no longer able to provide the level of care she required after her one month stay in subacute rehab. After researching and visiting facilities in the area, we decided on Brighton Gardens. My mother was apprehensive about moving into assisted living and it took her about a month to accept that she could not return home and acclimate herself to life at Brighton Gardens. Once she settled in and made some friends, my mother was the happiest she had been in years. She got involved in activities and enjoyed the live entertainment and other events held at the facility. My mom also loved the staff and I could tell when I visited that they were fond of her too. Regarding my family and me, Brighton Gardens provided us with peace of mind that mom was being well taken care of. Two standout staff members are Carol, the Director of Sales and Kim, the resident RN. Both Carol and Kim were there for my mom and my family for whatever we needed regarding her care. Claudia in the rehab center was also excellent and got my mother into the best possible physical condition. The rest of the staff was always very good natured, helpful and respectful. Making the choice to place a parent into assisted living is not easy. If you find yourself in that position, I highly recommend touring Brighton Gardens. I feel my mother and family were very fortunate they had a room available. They helped make my mom's last few months happy ones.

The staff has generally been very good. The shared rooms are very small once you've moved furniture in. The small studio rooms are larger and much brighter

The staff was fantastic. Extremely warm and caring. They were a bit overworked, so that could slow things down from time to time. The food was so so. But my mom felt very valued and cared for there

This is a home where I feel my father is very at home and can be part of a community. Staff generally seems to care and I know he is being fed and looked at regularly.
