PositiveBrighton Gardens of West Orange
Brighton Gardens of West Orange is a very beautiful place. It's clean. The staff is very helpful and friendly and attentive. My mother's apartment is the perfect size for her. My mother has had a wonderful experience there. I want to shout out to Ava and all the nurses and staff and helpers that continue to look out for her. Her only complaint is that there's not enough variety of foods. More choices for lunch and dinner menu. Continue the good work. Yes, we would recommend Brighton Gardens to other families based …

CriticalMixed experience
Staff are friendly, activities ok (mom doesn't attend many), place is clean and bright. Food is awful. Unappealing, poorly presented. Clearly corporate is cutting corners here. They also have the audacity to charge $[removed]for a guest meal - I got a BLT and a small dish of Cole slaw. No incentive for family to join a meal with a loved one. Mom and I have both complained to management with zero improvement. "Well other residents are happy with the food". Room size fine - dull taupe walls and industrial carpeting n…

PositiveReview for Brighton Gardens of West Orange
It was a good overall experience. The staff was helpful and takes good care of mom. Her room is a perfect size for her and had large windows that let in light which was important to her. The activities attracted us to this facility. Staff keeps residents involved.

PositiveHighly recommend

CriticalMixed reviews
The aids, activity staff and management are all warm and patient. My mother is in a 1 bedroom unit ~500 sq ft, which is the largest unit I was able to find at 4 facilities. The carpet is commercial and the walls are an unappealing taupe - rather depressing. Closet space is good. Housekeeping limited - laundry, quick vacuum, bathrooms. Expected more thorough process. The low rating is for the food - awful, bland, unappealing and the wait staff can be impatient. My mother hasn't found many activities of interest …

PositiveA wonderful Place for Mom
I made a really good choice picking Brighton Gardens its a great senior living facility from the sale staff to maintenance. My mom is really happy here, she even thank me. [names removed] always accommodating. The nursing staff and attendants all that lookout for mom are great! The facility is beautiful, clean, modern. The activities are good for her health and she likes participating in the exercise classes. Thank you Brighton Gardens keep up the good work!
