Brighton Gardens of Stamford sits at 59 Roxbury Road on a quiet, tree-filled, ten-acre lot, a three-storey building that fits 25 units for seniors, mostly those needing memory care, and offers plenty of help and choices with both private and semi-private rooms, which can be suites, studio, or single-room types, and most have kitchenettes or kitchens, air conditioning, and safety features. The place welcomes adults 55 and over, and some pets can come along if you ask. Nurses stay on staff day and night, with skilled nursing available at all hours for anyone who needs medical attention, while doctors drop by for regular visits and therapists-like physical and occupational-see residents as needed.
Staff run memory care programs for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and the Reminiscence program and the Terrace Club are there for people with different memory needs, keeping them safe inside secured courtyards and protected rooms that help prevent wandering and support memory health with trained staff around. Brighton Gardens also offers assisted living, which means help with daily things like bathing, dressing, meals, and medicine; if you only need a short stay, respite or recovery care is an option too. For those not wanting full-time care, the community has independent living, allowing residents to keep as much freedom as possible, yet get help when needed.
Food comes from a professional chef, with room service and restaurant-style dining, plus special diets like low salt or sugar if a doctor orders it, and there are guest meals, private dining rooms, and monthly food events, which is good for families that want to join in. Most days, people can choose from programs like arts and crafts, Tai Chi, chair yoga, cooking club, a book club, educational time, game nights, and a piano or organ in the common room. The recreation rooms have TVs, computer access, and a library, and outside, there are patios, a garden courtyard, and walk areas. If someone wants to worship, there are on-site religious services with options for Jewish, Catholic, and other faiths.
Every resident gets a personal care plan to set goals, shape care, or build activities around their interests, whether that's staying active, getting mental stimulation, or just joining group events. Housekeeping and laundry are included, and there's dry cleaning, on-site salon and barber for haircuts, pet-friendly policies, and free transportation to shops or appointments, plus the building's close to bus lines. They keep care notes and medicine on the Sunrise CareConnect system, an electronic health record, which lets staff follow changes, stay on top of medication, and plan follow-up care.
The building has wheelchair-accessible showers, wide hallways, elevators, and spaces for visitors, and there's plenty of parking for guests. WiFi works throughout, and telehealth visits are available if someone can't travel. The staff gets special memory care training, and the focus stays on keeping everyone safe, comfortable, and connected, whether someone's in skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, or just needs a break to recover after an illness. The community has been serving seniors for over 35 years as a Sunrise Senior Living facility, aiming to give people a good routine, a safe setting, and access to doctors, nurses, and interesting things to do without forcing anyone to join in who doesn't want to.
