My family's experience

4.5 just because there's been changes since my mom first moving in there and then something not explained thoroughly enough (Aide service). o, the dining room has went under many new staff. They finally have a cook now after not having one for a week or two or sporadic people filling in. The Aide service is fine but for those residents who can't or don't text, it's not a good set up for elderly people. Lots don't know how to text or own a cell phone. Then the pricing of Aides at The Gables. I was told it's $[fee removed] for 7-2; $[fee removed] from 2-10 and then $[fee removed] for overnights. Still not sure how the pricing is but after a $[fee removed] bill. Something is off. So far it's been a good one, despite my mom still trying to adjust but she's getting there slowly but surely. Everyone is helpful and understanding

A very pleasant community

My mother finds the staff to be very pleasant and helpful. [name removed] Angel's have been instrumental in helping her for the past 5 months throughout her back and forth from the hospital. The grounds are beautiful, and she enjoys sitting on the patio with her friends in the evening. They have some fun activities that she enjoys; especially the church service. The one inconsistency is the food. It tends to be on the dry side, and they typically will run out of main entree meals during lunch and dinner. Overall, she has grown accustomed to her new living arrangements with the help of staff and a close-nit community of friends.

Great place for all

This is the third independent living center my mom has lived in and is definitely the best of them all. The employees are all very friendly and helpful, especially the front desk and dining room staff. Biweekly free shuttle service is a great convenience. The affordable in-house aide service makes it possible for residents to stay even when they need additional help not typically available in an independent living center. I highly recommend this facility for anyone looking for comfort and care.

5 star experience

I would say a 5 especially after my trials with the Manor at Woodside in Pok! Gables is half the cost, includes a kitchen, washer/dryer in the apartment, more storage and living space and fantastic food! The staff are really nice and for the most part so are the residents. Also cable tv ane wifi at no cost. The moving co robbed me but wirh 14 days to plan and vacate I guess some things didn't get vetted. Overall a good move and I'd recommend it!

As a loved one needs their sense of security and care, family has peace of mind with the Gables of Brighton.

With your group finding as a match at the Gables of Brighton, it gives the feel of home with Mom's situation a sense of comfort and personal space with the amenities. To include, the food in the dining hall has been very good with a variety of meals. The activities are entertaining and love the interaction between the staff, other residents and the ones that bring in their instruments. With[name removed] and her caregiver team, her group has given me peace of mind to know their various levels of care and being 24/7 if needed was a relief. If any family member of a loved one has experienced the stress of going through stages in their loved one's life, to be an advocate, to compare what a rehab center and/or nursing home... The Gables of Brighton is above and beyond while it doesn't have the constraints that some places have... the Gables of Brighton allows freedom for each resident. I have a tear in my eye as I continue because Mom has passed while she and I wouldn't have wanted it any different during the times of her extra care needed for our peace of mind. I knew that it would be a challenge if I were to get her home to rely on caregivers to travel to/from her house and coordinate the coverage required. With the measures in place, the comfortable living quarters that the Gables of Brighton has to offer, it was much easier for my wife and I for us to relax when needed, work as needed, and not worry since everything seemed to line up at the Gables of Brighton. I'd like to thank [name removed]that was working with you to help us with finding Mom's comfortable and peaceful place with the care she needed. My words cannot express enough.

The Gables staff & residents are very friendly. This place is always busy with activities.

The Gables is a friendly community who are welcoming to everyone. Residents have plenty activities or comfortable rooms to just sit & chat. They are happy to assist for any needs. [name removed] & her staff are an extra benefit working for Gables to help with extra cleaning like changing beds, laundry or help with meds & many other needs. My sister has regular help from them at very reasonable prices. Gables does provide house cleaning free once a week from their staff. Residents have their own washer & dryers & larger washers are available in building. The gardens outside are beautiful with benches to enjoy. The dining room is sit down & someone will take order, food is good but don’t always have what’s on menu. I was a little surprised by that. Overall my sister likes her meals especially Sunday brunch. Thanks to everyone at Gables!

I never thought of having to live in a senior living center. Then my life changed on a dime. Walking out of house on a trip to the hospital and never return. Now it's life in a wheel chair at The Gables. I find no barriers in my way and a community that helped me heal. Physically and mentally. Both the staff and other residents fill my cup daily. I now try to do that for others here.

I have made a lot of friends. I have enjoyed doing the crafts, learning some new card games going out on the outing. Every month we get together and give a list of the places and things we would like to do. Getting together with friends at meal time being able to get out most everyday to walk. I enjoy. Very much and doin the fitness class each day. Overall it is a nice place to be it is like home in a lot of ways. I'm happy my daughter found it for us.

Website is misleading

Aplaceformom.com did a wonderful job of helping us find a community in SE Rochester, NY. We selected the Gables of Brighton because of location, size, and food all-day restaurant style. We love the resident neighbors here. However the owners and management here do not provide what the website describes.

The Gables of Brighton review

My mom stayed in the respite apartment while she was at the Gables. It was beautifully furnished and felt new and fresh. She even had a nice view of the pond they have next to the building. The main lobby is lovely and the dining room was also very nice. Mom didn't have a big appetite while she was there, but she did enjoy the meals and especially the social opportunity to meet new friends. The staff there is very kind. We used the nursing care team which is associated with the Gables. They were wonderful and so sweet to my mom. Overall it was a very positive experience and although mom's time there was shorter than we hoped, we were grateful she was there. The administrative staff, especially [name removed], were so caring and easy to work with.

Overall recommend

The experience is mediocre, not great but not terrible. There are some staff that my parents love and others that clearly are in the wrong business. Some things, such as meals, have improved slightly in recent months. There is a lot of turnover with dining staff.

The Gables of Brighton review

I am happy here, it was the right choice for me at the right time. The rent includes weekly cleaning of the apartments. I am impressed by the entire staff...very helpful and always willing to answer questions. The Gables is an independent living place which means if the resident can pay the rent, they can live here. There is an activities calendar provided each month. There are week trips to select grocery stores and drug stores within a certain radius

Food is terrible but some wonderful staff

I have a family member at the Gables. Management companies are in and out like revolving door at Gables. Can’t keep kitchen staff because of poor management. Food is overall not great but sometimes includes inedible shoe leather meat. Many fried food options, which is terrible for anyone much less elderly folks. A big, consistently supplied salad bar would be much better. This is not the fault of kitchen staff. It is mismanagement. Management also broke resident contracts and now does not provide 24-hour staff presence. On the positive use, excellent aid service available and some wonderful support people. It’s clean but not fancy. I think it’s comparably affordable but haven’t checked lately. A Place for Mom really needs to visit the Gables and suggest improvements before they continue recommending it.

A positive experience

I am very happy here however I am not sure that I need to be here I originally came because I thought that I needed a hip replacement and they have a visiting PT person. I will say that in March the food was NOT good but they now have secured good chefs/ cooks and I am quite happy with the food. They are still figuring out correct meal ordering and the wait staff has been pleasant but they have had a great deal of turnover. It is clean and pleasant with some terrific activities being offered. My family and I feel that I am very safe here
