"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… Read more

"The previous review had a vastly different experience than my family. I found the Memory Care programs to be top notch. My mom has "traveled" to India one day, complete with Indian food and music. There are constant activities for the residents to participate in. Whether I am visiting on a weekday or a Sunday afternoon, the residents are enjoying a thoughtfully planned activity. I'm thankful the director of memory care and staff are kind and attentive. They show tremendous patience when working with the people that live there, my mom included.

"My experience with Sunrise is that it’s a corporation. Corporations try to maximize profit. How do they do this? Well, salespeople blatantly lie and/or leave out facts. For example, you might be told there is a 10 mile radius that a driver will take you to. What they don’t tell you is that the driver is barely there. Monday-Thursday until 4pm only. Sure, that helps some folks, but certainly doesn’t help all residents. Then there’s the food situation. Just about every resident complains about the food. Food quality has declined significantly since it first opened, as has the service. The food is warm, almost never hot. If you want more, sorry, but that’s another entree so you can’t have that. Good help is hard to come by and either Sunrise doesn’t value their help, or they don’t have the budget to keep good help. Management needs to step back and reevaluate the situation. They are heading down a path that will leave them with an empty building. Beautiful community though." - Honest… Read more

"My Mom has been at The Hearth for 5 years and it's been a good home for her. It's quiet, comfortable and friendly. The nursing staff is very good, but higher levels of care do cost more. The costs are straightforward and we have had no financial surprises., though there have been annual increases that were announced in advance. The community is friendly and pretty active, with a Happy Hour and daily activities. I have found management responsive to concerns and requests. And the food is good. Mom has very few complaints and when we join her for a meal, it's balanced and tasty. All in all, it's not perfect but I would definitely recommend it." - James Sabo… Read more
