The people who work there are so nice and very compasionate, however, the people who took over and are running the facility now are not so great. The food is not the best quality and some of the things that were once included in the already high price to live there are now an extra expense. They nickle and dime the people who live there. Not what I would call a "Christian, non-profit" way to run things. If you are in "assisted living" they now want to charge for the food to be delivered. If your are unable to get to the dining room to get your food because you need assistance, how is it OK to charge a fee to deliver the food to these people? I will agee it is a beautiful facility and the grounds are very nice. There are some nice amenities like a beauty salon, a chapel and a Bistro. The Bistro used to be very nice but now the food is not that great and half the time there is nothing in the coolers. I was floored when they charged $3 for one banana. They may put on a nice show when you tour the facility but I say beware. Hopefully, one day it will go back to being run the way St. Mary of the Woods ran it.

    If considering this facility, please use all your senses to really look around to see if this is…read morethe place for you - taste the food, look at house keeping or lack thereof, and how it smells and how much that needs updating. Many of the staff are very dedicated and have been there for years but facility is in dire need of improvement. My Mother has been there for over two years and I've seen serious decline in services, I do not recommend them, especially for memory care. There is little to no activities or stimulation and heavy urine smell.

    My father entered Brighton in April 2019 on a respite basis. We were told about their $2,000…read morereferral credit special as an enticement to move in. Once he was in and we got our first bill, we asked about the credit. We were told it was only available to permanent residents (info conveniently withheld when we moved him in). My father ended up staying through September 2019. In July we were told that my father automatically became a permanent resident 30 days after move in. There is a $1500 move-in fee for permanent residents and they decided to charge us. We asked for the $2,000 credit but were told that we would only be getting the July referral promo credit which was sadly reduced to $1,000. We explained that the May credit was $2,000 and we requested it back then several times but were denied it. They refused to give us the other $1,000. Upon telling them we were leaving and serving out our 30 day notice, they failed to shower my father for almost two full weeks. My father begged for a shower and finally asked for my intervention. I called and demanded a shower that day but it still took three more days before he got one. Meanwhile a rash he had worsened. He was humiliated having to go down to the dining room and sit at tables with others while he smelled badly (he has issues with both urinary and mild fecal incontinence sometimes), and looking unkempt. He skipped several meals because he was embarrassed. When I called the director, Russell Elmore, about this and asked that we be credited on the final bill for showering services and some meals, and I recorded the call, he apologized and said that he would find a way to reduce the final bill. He also said he'd look into the referral bait-and-switch. He told me he'd call me in a few days. Thereafter he failed to return my phone calls and emails. I've been getting bills with late fees attached as I await a promised adjustment that is never going to come. Even when I told him I was reporting him to various agencies etc. he didn't care. Run from this place! There are so many other facilities to choose from. We had a terrible experience here with more than just the director. The care coordinator, Carol McCarthy, is awful. In six months there we never had a single meeting about my dad's care. She canceled the only one we did have and never rescheduled. She knew about my dad not having a shower and still took days to get him one. I could go on and on. Just take your loved one somewhere else.
