Brightview Warren - Senior Assisted Living & Memory Care

My aunt spent her last years at Brightview Warren in the memory care unit, Wellspring Village. It was a wonderful experience for her. The staff is friendly and supportive and really became like family. The activities are engaging and varied so everyone can participate. There was often entertainment by singers, dancers, and musicians that really offered comfort. We especially loved the visits from the pets. It was certainly helpful to me to know that my aunt was safe and well taken care of when I was not able to be there.

My mother has been there at Brightview for 18 months and loves it there. My mother had been living on her own but fell one week, and then the next week caught a virus, that put her in the hospital for a week. Afterwards she needed to go to rehab and it was obvious she could not go back to her old apartment. So we started to look at assisted living options. Mom did not want to go, as she wanted to return home. We told her to come and stay for 2 months and if you still wanted to go home we would talk. Once she got to Brightview she loved it. I looked at 22 different assisted living properties and choose Brightview based on the positive and friendly atmosphere. The Brightview property is fairly new and the facilities are very well kept and maintained. There is never the nasty smell and not any signs of neglect; neither of the property nor the people.The management staff there is very attentive, accommodating, and extremely caring of their residents. While the place is very nice I think it is the staff that makes it special. It seems like the dining room staff knows all the residents by name and they are not just customers but friends. The med techs, nurses, and aids all treat Mom with respect and caring.She is able to get her hair done and a manicure every week on premise that she loves. They have Happy Hour every day and that promotes a feeling of belonging. They have regular events like, bingo, movies, card games, trips, and some very nice ,special events family and friends.They have an open policy for meals in that you do not have set hours for the dining room and not assigned seating. This helps promote social interactions with different people.In my many visits there is never the feeling of just warehousing old people. Choosing Brightview has worked out extremely well for my mother. My mom is a very social person that loves to talk and she made many new friends at Brightview. She turned 100 years old and had the best birthday ever at Brightview. She frequently tells me how much she loves it there and that it is her home. I think she is well cared for and strongly recommend Brightview Warren.

My wife Linda and I have been very pleased with Brightview in Warren. My older brother and his wife were admitted together in May of 2017 to Wellspring Village, the dementia unit of Brightview, as they both suffered from Alzheimer's. They received exceptional care from its highly professional staff. Unfortunately my brother died in August of 2018 from his advanced Alzheimer's, but his wife continues under Brightview's care. The staff at Brightview are very welcoming, highly trained and experienced. They respond quickly to any inquiry. We visit frequently, and have great comfort in knowing that my sister-in-law will continue to receive close attention and the best of care. We are kept advised of any developments, and review her monthly treatment plans. The staff keeps an eye on my sister-in-law, as they did with my brother. They are always cheerful, ready to assist in any respect, and do everything possible to keep my sister-in-law comfortable, engaged to the extent possible in physical and social activities, and included in trips outside Brightview. In our opinion, Brightview and, in particular, Wellspring Village deserve an A+ rating. We would be pleased to discuss our experience with anyone searching for the best facility for their family members who suffer from Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. William H.

My mom has lived there since the beginning and I can honestly say it was the best decision we have ever made. She started in an independent apartment and she love it. When we all started to see her memory fail they suggested we move her into their Wellspring Village, right down the hall on the first floor of the same complex. The whole staff was a tremendous help in facilitating this difficult transition, they where there all the time to make sure she was happy. The place is always spotless, the food is fantastic and she always has something to do. I think the most important think about Brightview and it's staff is they treat all residents with love and respect. They are all very special and really care about our family members and their happiness. I get text all the time with pictures of what she is doing. My only complaint is that there are not enough stars to show how much I appreciate all they do for my mom. There should be 10

Considering I had to manage my Mother's transition to Brightview from afar the administrative staff, caregivers and nurses provided consistent, attentive and compassionate care in getting her situated. Expectations and updates were communicated and I was very thankful to have her at Brightview and safe during a time of transition. I highly recommend Brightview for your family care needs.
