Brighton Gardens of Saddle River

We recently toured Brighton Gardens of Saddle River with a family member. I was impressed from the initial phone call where we discussed her needs and were kindly invited for a tour. That first interaction set the tone and our positive impression only deepened as we experienced the warmth and attentiveness of the staff throughout the visit. We had the pleasure of meeting with Victoria, the Executive Director, whose ability to connect with my cousin was remarkable. She recognized the unique challenges ahead (my cousin is younger than the typical assisted living resident) and she addressed those potential challenges with both compassion and confidence in her community’s ability to meet her needs. Seeing our cousin feel so welcomed and at ease meant the world to us. The thoughtful, attentive approach continued throughout the tour, reinforcing our sense that this is a community that truly listens and cares. As we toured the community, I noticed how staff interacted with the residents and each other. What stood out was the genuine happiness and camaraderie among the team. Everyone we encountered was friendly, attentive, and welcoming, not just to my cousin, but to our whole family. That kind of warmth can’t be faked, and it made a lasting impression. One especially heartwarming detail is they welcome pets, making it feel even more like home. We’re genuinely looking forward to our cousin having a caring, supportive place to call home!

I am a senior care and home care professional. I have extensive experience in all healthcare facilities in North Jersey and can tell you that the care and the staff at Brighton Gardens Saddle River are the very best I have come across over many years in the field. I would give them my very best ratings and recommend them strongly to all considering using their services.

I can't say enough about Brighton Gardens of Saddle River!! I had to find a home for my father quickly and I toured many places. They all were pretty and well kept, but the minute I walked into Brighton Gardens I knew we had found the place for my dad. The staff are what sets this place apart from all the others. They know every resident by name and take such amazing care of them. But they also take care of us, the families of the residents. I constantly hear, "Don't worry, we will take care of it, you have enough to worry about." My father is in memory care and I feel like I have gained more family members with the staff of Brighton Gardens. My dad is happy and cared for and that is the biggest gift they have given me. I am so happy we found the best home for my dad.

My family and I recently had to make the tough decision to find an assisted living home for my Mom. If you are in this position, you know how difficult it can be. Throughout the process of visiting different facilities, I walked into Brighton Gardens and was greeted by the most incredible staff. I am a registered nurse and know exactly the type of environment I was looking for for my Mom. The entire staff exudes positivity and care. Rose Gutierrez, Director of Sales, has been absolutely INCREDIBLE throughout this entire process. She has consistently gone over and above the call of duty, making sure EVERYTHING is just right for my Mom. I never felt alone, uninformed, or disconnected. Every move from obtaining medical information from doctors, purchasing and planning furniture delivery, to alleviating the anxiety my Mom was feeling with this big life change, was met with dedicated, individual attention and care by Rose Gutierrez, Victoria Priore, and the devoted Brighton Gardens staff. I am wholeheartedly grateful for the dedication and care the Brighton Garden’s staff delivers to their residents everyday. This place and these dedicated individuals feel like HOME.
