Brighton Gardens of Brentwood offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to transition seamlessly if cognitive needs change. The community is equipped to support individuals who wander during the day or night, are prone to elopement, stay up throughout the night, require oxygen therapy, or need special dietary oversight. Staff are trained to manage diabetics using oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale protocols, and the program is designed to meet the needs of residents with moderate dementia. On-site podiatry services reduce the need for outside appointments.
Clinical coverage includes an RN or LPN and a nurse on-site 24 hours a day. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift provides continuous observation. Safety measures include an in-room pull-cord system and personal emergency response devices that alert staff around the clock. The community can furnish full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, offers some physical help at meals, and accommodates walkers, wheelchairs, standby support, or a one-person transfer. An activity director coordinates structured programs that align with residents’ care plans, and the campus maintains 24-hour security.
Accommodation options range from studios to larger suites. Some residences include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate the space. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided for all residents, though it should be noted that not every unit carries every listed feature.
Meals are served three times a day with both set menus and on-order choices. The kitchen staff can prepare mechanical-chopped, pureed, thickened-liquid, vegetarian, or other physician-directed diets. Snacks are available between meals, and a private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings or special occasions.
Community amenities include outdoor smoking areas, pet-friendly policies, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, internet access, communal gardens, an on-site chapel with religious services, a library, and several special-interest clubs. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach medical appointments and local outings. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
