Brightview Sayville caters to the needs of whichever level a person is at, depending upon what services they need, as well as extended care. If a resident needs more assistance, you don't have to leave the facility to go to another place. The several rooms we saw, whether it was a studio or an extended studio, or a one-bedroom, were all laid out well. They provide enough rooms for even a scooter to go through it. The layout allowed more mobility for a person to move about and there wasn't anything in the way. We were impressed with that. We visited that place three or four times already and the people that we met there were very helpful and into what's best for whatever the resident needs (from the highest level of care down to the person that's independent). Their attitude is very positive, very up, and very caring. They provide the necessary services that are needed, whether it's physical therapy, medical, or maintenance. We got the impression that those would be provided happily. The facility is fairly new and it's absolutely beautiful. It looks like a resort. The whole layout of the place is very comforting and very happy, because of the colors chosen. As you walk in, everyone greets you and everyone is happy to introduce themselves. The residents seemed very pleased with their situation. If you want to be social, you can do that, or if you want to be independent by yourself, you can do that as well. When the weather's nice, they have a pleasant place for people to sit outside that's covered from the sun. There's a chef on staff, so the food is freshly made. It's not brought in and reheated or re-cooked. They offer a variety of choices for each meal. So, if a person cannot eat a particular item, the chef will prepare something else. If you have allergies or if you need to eat vegan or anything like that, they provide for those needs. They have a private dining area where you can come in and eat with your family, too.

Brightview Sayville would be perfect for my parents because they have a full kitchen but you still get your meals and all that. Their kitchen was beautifully done; it was a high-end, beautifully appointed kitchen. It had a washer and dryer in the apartment, but not all of them have that. It's independent living but also had all the perks of assisted living. They had a big billiards room to play, you know, pool and they had bocce, they had a lot of activities. As a gift for touring, they gave us a box of scones with homemade jam; and that was delicious. It was really good.

I went to Brightview Sayville. The tour was very nice. It was very nice, and everything was good. I liked it. I would go there if I have to go. But we haven't made up our mind because our bedrooms don't fit in these places. We're not ready to make that big change to downsize, from a big house to go to a small house. It seems cozy, and the dining room was very nice. It's warm and cozy. It's well-kept. Everything was clean. The staff who gave me the tour was a good salesperson. She was very warm also. She was friendly and very informative. They had a special going up until the end of the year. They have happy hour, they have things to do and games, and they have places to go with a bus and all. They have things to keep you busy.
