Brightview Arlington

My dad lived at Brightview for over six years, with the last three years in the enhanced care community. He was extremely well cared for, far exceeding any expectations. Lisa and her dedicated staff are truly amazing and I was thankful every day for their support, many of them felt like family to us during this time. Arlington is lucky to have such a wonderful option in the community.

Our mom lived at Brightview for almost 10 years, including the last 5 in Wellspring. She was cared for with love, kindness, and affection by Lisa and her memory care team. She was very content and we always felt that she was in good hands.

Our mom was cared for by Lisa Sabatino and her wonderful staff at Wellspring Village for more than five years. They took great care to ensure our mom was happy and comfortable in her final years by providing her with kind and gentle attention. Lisa is excellent at her job. She communicates well, responds quickly, and shows great attention to her residents' health and well being. We are grateful for all she and her caring staff did for our mom.

Absolutely no legal parking spaces available anywhere on or near the facility. Furthermore, there is widespread illegal parking which affects visitors and possible responding emergency vehicles.

Brightview has been a great assisted living choice for my cousin. They took him in 3 years ago when his former AL in Cambridge couldn’t handle his needs after a fall and rehab, and they assured me that they always try their best to see the members of their community through to the end. And they did that for my cousin, who passed away last weekend, recognizing when we should apply for hospice and arranging that, arranging for a private nurse to be with him when needed. I had just moved to CA and it was such a relief for me to be able to check in almost daily with Susan at the front desk, who always kept an eye out for him, Vanessa, the nurse who managed his care, and Lisa, the nurse who took over in his last 24 hours, helping me to FaceTime with him to say goodbye when I couldn’t get back from CA in time, making sure that someone was always with him in his last hours, guiding me through the things that needed to be done, and even packing up the few personal effects I wanted to save and arranging to donate and clean out the rest, saving me a belated trip back to MA. Along the way, my cousin had enjoyed gathering for meals in the dining room, for frequent music events and other activities, and even, although he was wheelchair-bound, for some shopping excursions. I’m grateful to Brightview Arlington and all of the staff there for providing such a caring community for his last years!
