Assisted Living & Memory Care · Stamford, CT

Overview of Brighton Gardens of Stamford

Focused on assisted living and memory care, Brighton Gardens of Stamford is in Stamford, CT. Dressing, bathing, and medication administration all get support in assisted living. Memory care puts a resident at risk of wandering in a secured, supervised setting, and with both levels on hand, someone whose needs increase may be able to stay.

Monthly pricing starts at $3,952 or more. Housing comes in studios and one-bedroom units, the studio being a single living space and the one-bedroom keeping sleeping and living areas apart.

Baking clubs, trivia, movie nights, and fitness classes fill the activity calendar, and a salon and chef-prepared meals are part of the community’s amenities. Short respite stays bridge a gap while the family’s caregiver takes a trip or gets well. Short-Term, Rehab centers a temporary stay on recovery services, and scheduled transportation handles planned outings. Pets are allowed to move in with residents.
