Found the right place after several wrong ones
. They have the same staff working with my mom for continuity. They are very communicative with me and listened to my suggestions for how best to transition with my mom to make her feel at home. I get weekly updates and other calls to keep me involved with decisions. My brother and I are very pleased.

The only issue I had was understanding the invoicing system. Although I think that was a corporate issue and not related to this location. Based on the experience we have had so far, I would absolutely recommend Brighton Gardens to other families.

This facility was one of the only places that would take my mom with severe dementia after she broke her hip and provides a very high level of care. The staff really go above and beyond to connect with residents and make them feel loved and appreciated. They are also very organized and accountable. I am not able to visit my mom as often as I would like, but I feel like I can relax knowing she's well cared for.

Everyone is very helpful. The only issue that my sister has is that she does need a high level of care, and it sometimes takes awhile to get someone to her room when she calls. All of the management staff that I spoke to initially were exceptionally helpful and concerned about my sister, especially [name removed]. They went above and beyond to help her.

I would give high marks to Brighton gardens and would recommend the facility. What has made it such a great experience so far is the caring staff and administrator. Can't remember her name

My loved one is a resident at Brighton Gardens of Columbia and overall the experience has been good for her. The cleanliness throughout the building is great, as far as in her room, it's okay. Her bed isn't always made and sometimes her clean clothes are not hung up, even though there are enough hangers. The friendliness is great. The care services are okay. She isn't always smelling fresh and clean when I visit. Her adult diaper should be changed as needed, but it doesn't always happen. Sometimes, when I pick her up to take her to appointments, she has not been cleaned nor has her hair been done. Probably her teeth aren't brushed either. Most of the staff are good workers, doing a difficult job. The weekend workers seem to be new, so I am not sure what they know about the patients that they are assigned to. The food is good and the facility has a lot of activities.

The facility is lovely, the caregiving staff really seems to care, the admin staff is responsive, and the health partners are professional. The weakest link is the wellness office and medication management.

The facility was very clean. The staff and residents were friendly and welcoming to my mother. The first nights 1-3, my mother was given her evening medicine incorrectly. My mother would often get her morning medicines at different times ( varying by 2-3 hrs) throughout the morning. The meals were appetizing and tasty and a good variety. There seemed to be plenty of activities but more effort could have been made to get my mother to participate. The facility itself was very nice but for the monthly cost, I felt that I was constantly having to checkup with the staff to make sure that my mother was receiving her medicine or PT on time or having her shower fixed.

Sunrise Brighton Gardens is a wonderful community in Howard County. The community is cozy and warm and the staff are professional. They have a great activity team for resident engagement and support. Always make me feel welcome as soon as I walk in. A great place for any loved one looking for home.

Brighton Gardens was for me a very welcoming Community with very professional and caring staff. My confidence in Brighton began with the interview. I was impressed with the staff members understood my needs and outlined in clear terms what the community offered. The full range of staff services, the variety of activities and the delicious cuisine proved to be the best place for recuperation and recovery. I sincerely appreciate the care I received.

I took my mom on a tour here. It was clean, pleasant, and active. The staff were very helpful and informative. The food looked good and healthy, and the community pup was very sweet. Definitely looking at move-in options.

[name removed] and the rest of the team were so extraordinary that my mother told me a number of times after her visit to Brighton Gardens that she wants to move there immediately. And my mom is not easy to please. They were so nice to me and my mother, that to some degree they have restored my faith in humanity after a rough couple of years. I loved the food and I loved the staff, and I even loved the residents who welcomed me and my mother with open arms.

The staff to resident ratio in the memory care unit is very good . The staff in general is very considerate and respectful of the individuals who live there . They try to keep the residents engaged and active as possible while still considering each individuals abilities. The staff keeps an open communication with the families and are very accommodating for visits and participation in activities.

On the tour the memory care looked great, the friendliness of the staff, the staff to resident ratio and the activities. Yes, I would definitely recommend their memory care section. Staff really cared for the residents. Their hospice care was comforting.

I toured Brighton Gardens of Columbia and the tour was great! The cleanliness and friendliness were great. The staff and my tour guide were also great. The building did look a little bit older than some of the other facilities that I toured.

Bright Gardens has been perfect for my parent. The staff are caring, responsive and kind. They even provided furniture! The medical professional is excellent. Brighton Gardens could improve by providing more hands-on activities, more frequent outings, and more varied food options at meals.

It is really pricey, but the staff is exceptional, friendly and attentive. Mom loved the food, and there were choices if you didn't care for the main item at each meal. The nurses really helped get mom onto much better physical shape. I would highly recommend the facility to others.
