My parents were determined to live in their big, old house as long as possible and they did, well…read moreinto their 90s. My mother's sudden illness and my father's ongoing decrease in mobility created the situation that they could no longer live in a multi story house independently. We were so fortunate that they had looked into Brightview on New Canaan a month or so before my mother's illness. Within two weeks of the decision to move, and a week after my mother's return from the hospital, they were moved into a bright and sunny 2 bedroom apartment at Brightview. It was an emotional roller coaster for them and it took a team approach by the rest of the family to get all the furniture and their belongings moved in. The staff at Brightview are incredible and make sure that my parents feel valued and are safe and happy. Michele was indispensable in making the transition as smooth as possible. While my parents miss their house and all the living that went on it for 57 years, they now call Brightview their home. They have been there about a month. On my recent visit, I took them around town on errands. Upon return to Brightview and entering their apartment each time, they're expressions were of familiarity and contentment. They were home. We highly recommend Brightview on New Canaan as a loving place to live.

We had heard great things about this place...but....I would NEVER recommend Meadow ridge/Ridge…read morecrest to anybody for rehabilitation. If a pretty place and good food is what you want then Meadow Ridge/Ridge Crest is for you. This is a fancy place with below average rehabilitation care. The activities and music performers are great and that was something that my mom enjoyed. However, There is Little to NO communication between Meadow ridge/ ridge crest and family. We requested meetings with the social worker, PT dept, nurses but most items we discussed weren't acted upon. We Requested phone calls when any issues happened or changes with medications, illness, etc. had come up. We did not get any calls except when they were sending her to the hospital. We would leave messages with concerns at the nurses station after numerous tries to speak to someone. We would not get a call back to answer our concerns. After our last call (which was never picked up at the nurses station so we had to leave a voicemail message) about a very serious concern we had noticed about my mom's health we did not get a call back. My mother ended up in the hospital a day later with a very serious infection that was almost fatal. The infection stemmed from another smaller one that could have been diagnosed and taken care of. We chose to send her to a different rehab after she left the hospital which wasn't any better. Care quality at the new place was average on a good day but that's another story. Is there any good care out there? And don't get me started about charging to hold a bed when the resident goes to the hospital. don't do it!!

My Father in law has an apartment in Independent Living while both of my parents now live in the Memory Care unit. So we've experienced two different levels of need based care. I've found that the Spring Meadows staffers are very good. The nurses, the aids and even dining room staff really seem to care about the residents and try to make the difference to keep them engaged and make sure they're well cared for. I'll also add that the office staff and the general manager coordinate very well with us, the family members, to help with the details involved of having an aging parent who needs the assistance of this kind of facility. They are always helpful and respond promptly if I call with questions or requests. It's been a blessing to have my parents be able to live at Spring Meadows and get the good care that they need.
