"I've been very impressed with the staff and management at Brightview Shelton since my mom moved there. They have quite a few different floor plans and we ended up going with the one bedroom which so far is working out well because there is a "den" space too. The staff are all very friendly and seem to really enjoy their jobs. The calendar of events is always changing and at least every week there is something my mom is excited about. Jackie on the sales team goes out of her way to say hi every time she sees us. Thank you Brightview Shelton team for making my mom so happy in her new home!" - Jesus…
