Brighton Gardens of Buckhead

The atmosphere of this facility is actually quite nice. The chemistry between the staff and my loved one is a really good fit. She's a very outgoing person in general and is still able to continue being that way here. Meals and dining were a major factor in our facility decision, and the food is excellent here. Great quality and variety. Communication with the family is pretty good. It's not always timely and can be challenging at times, but overall it's pretty good and their heart is in the right place. The maintenance staff is pretty good, nursing staff is good, administrative staff is really good. The activities director is phenomenal. She does a good job with activities and outings. I will say, medication management is very pricey if you use their pharmacy service. But you do have the option to use your own, so we like that. The total monthly cost at the end of each month can be tricky here. They go by daily rate, so monthly totals/cost can change and vary each month. But the value is pretty good. The one piece of advice that I would give to anyone about this whole process is that you have to establish a relationship with the staff at your loved one's facility, I think that's the biggest key to success. Overall, this facility is a good fit for my loved one and I'm happy that she's where she is. I would absolutely recommend them to family and friends.

Very friendly and cooperative staff. I have no major complaints, as they take very good care of my mom.

They made things and this whole process easier. They seem to be caring and they're helpful when it comes to doing things like helping my mom out with her room. My mom always tell me about their morning exercise class once or twice a week. Every time I visit they're playing board games. They have movie nights, and I think they have a happy hour with drinks and hors d'oeuvres once a week. They also take trips to stores like Target, so residents can pick up items if they need anything. They have events for every holiday. On Fourth of July they had a BBQ and on Mothers Day they had a brunch with mimosas. They even had an Elvis night; they're always doing something and there always constant activities, if you want to participate. You can always find something there that you can join in on. My mom is one of the hardest people I've ever met who never wants to try anything new or do anything different, and yet she ended up there - and she's still there! A Place for Mom: if it wasn't for you guys, I would still be looking for a place. [name removed] interviewed us and asked what we were looking for and what we needed. We had to switch cities, so he had to find places in Atlanta after he had already found places in Pennsylvania. He never complained, he was always nice and helpful in everything. I thought he worked pretty well with me.

It is a great place if your are more on the basic assisted living scale - if you are able to walk places yourself or even wheel yourself in a wheel chair, but if you are in the in between range the quality of care is inconsistent. Sometimes the care was great and other times not so much and the response time could take anywhere between 5 minutes to 4 hours.

After touring and speaking with the staff and seeing the way they interacted with the residents, we decided that Brighton Gardens of Buckhead was the right choice. It is a more welcoming environment and they were thorough and covered everything which made us feel more comfortable. They seem to genuinely try to please the families in any way that they can. Whenever we have any issues and we bring them to their attention, they address it right away. [name removed] and [name removed] have both been great. The caregivers are wonderful and mom feels comfortable and connected with them.

Their communication is a little off - not very frequent, and there have been some misunderstandings. But the care is fine overall. And the facility is in good shape / well maintained.

I would encourage others to look around and see what is best for them. For us, Brighton Gardens is very close to where I live. The staff and the people who provide the care are very nice. The facility is very good. They keep it clean, wash my loved one's clothes, things like that. The only thing I think they're lacking is a doctor that could come in maybe once a week to do a thorough check on the patients. And I don't see as many activities on the memory care side as I would like to.

Great experience. Top 3 contenders.

Sunrise Frisco has been such a wonderful experience for my Mom! The Staff is so caring and she has improved since she has been there! It is nice knowing that Sunrise Frisco treats her like she is their own MOM! Such a blessing having such wonderful people caring for her!

This will probably be our choice if and when we move my father to Atlanta. Beautiful facility. Good floor plan. Very friendly and caring staff. We got a real feeling of “family” here.

workers are very pleasant

Brighton Gardens has been a great place for our family. The caregivers are friendly and polite. The entire team was amazingly flexible with our needs. My dad enjoys it enough that he chose to stay at Brighton even after my mom passed away.

We toured at Brighton Gardens, and I felt that there was a good feeling here. I really liked the community, and the staff seemed friendly and competent. The community was incredibly cheerful and lively. However, I felt the location the community was in might be a little too busy for my loved one.

Assisted living only.

The staff have been really kind. Everyone I have met is really nice, however I think they could use a little more help. This community is clean and the grounds are well maintained. My loved one likes the food and the activities. For the most part it has been a good experience and I would recommend this community.

I like this community for the care for my mom. My mom likes the meals and the variety. They are offering her to be involved at this time. She is just settling in but appears to be happy here with this clean and well maintained community. We highly recommond other families to this community for the good care and the value for a loved one

Everyone is awesome at Brighton Gardens! I feel so much happier that my mother is here. I think the care managers could improve communication and response time but otherwise they are doing a great job!!!
