When searching for an Assisted Living residence for my aunt, we chose Sunrise Senior Living Brighton Gardens of Florham Park for the size of the apartment, the dining experience, the people who'd been on staff many years, and the friendly community. Though it's a tough transition, my aunt acclimated and was glad to live in a place where, if she had a health issue, she could get help immediately. She was able to have prescriptions delivered, come and go to the dining room and activities on her own, and made her apartment feel like a mini version of her home in Manhattan. We really appreciated communication from the nursing staff as well as conversations with health professionals who visited regularly. When issues arose, the staff demonstrated patience and caring, and we were notified as soon as any differences in her physical health and cognition were detected. We feel that everyone who worked with my aunt really tried to help her, especially as her health declined. Even though, unfortunately, my aunt needed to be moved to a skilled nursing facility, it is a great comfort to know that the time she lived at Sunrise Brighton Gardens, she was well-care for.

Brighton Gardens of Florham Park sits on Ridgedale Avenue in Morris County, offering assisted living and dedicated memory care in a comfortable, community-focused setting. The property is licensed for 132 assisted living beds, creating an atmosphere that feels welcoming rather than overwhelming. Many staff members have served the community for over a decade, helping new arrivals settle in quickly.
Accommodations include studio and one-bedroom layouts designed for easy daily living. Residents have access to a variety of shared spots throughout the building, including comfortable sitting lounges, an activity room, and an on-site theatre. Outside, secure courtyard grounds give seniors an open-air retreat to sit and enjoy the fresh air.
Daily meals feature fresh, seasonal cooking prepared by the culinary staff, with menus planned to suit individual preferences. A casual bistro remains stocked with quick grab-and-go snacks for residents to enjoy whenever they like. Between meal times, the social calendar stays active with art classes, music, fitness routines, and educational programs. Trips to local Florham Park spots and entertainment keep residents connected to the wider area.
Care is split into distinct neighborhoods depending on each senior's needs. Beyond traditional assisted living and short-term respite stays, the community provides two tailored dementia options. The Terrace Club neighborhood supports individuals dealing with early to moderate memory changes, while the Reminiscence Neighborhood provides structured, around-the-clock care for those with advanced Alzheimer's disease.

My father is living here and is very happy. Everyone here is positive and I know my father is in good hands. Th staff is dedicated and very good to my father.
This location is particularly nice. It has a beautiful piece of land behind it with walking trails and other outside activities. But it is still only a few blocks away from downtown with lots of restaurants and stores. I worked with Anthony and he was fabulous. Actually, everyone there was really nice and knowledgeable.
My sister has been a resident in the reminiscence unit of Brighton Gardens of Florham Park for over three and a half years. During this time, I have been very happy with her care. More importantly, she seems very happy there, and seems very fond of her caregivers. I have found the staff to be very friendly, helpful, professional, and very good with communications. The home itself appears clean and well maintained. The food also seems to be very good, based on appearance and the couple of times I have eaten there myself. Based on my personal experiences, I highly recommend this facility.
My father has been at Brighton Gardens for a little over a year now and I feel that he has received good care from a staff that is always attentive, kind and friendly. His room and the general areas are always clean and neat. The food is good and there are plenty of activities during the day. I feel lucky that my father is there.
