I recently toured The Whitley and was impressed by the range of amenities and the overall atmosphere. From the welcoming entry with a beautiful fireplace to the comfortable common living areas, bistro, and formal dining room, it genuinely feels like a place residents can call home. They offer both assisted living and memory care, with a variety of room options including studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom residences. Most importantly, the staff was compassionate, attentive, and clearly committed to providing exceptional care to all residents. Highly recommended!

I recently toured for my mother at this community. The receptionist was very welcoming and knowledgeable. Jennifer was an amazing tour guide. She let us know of all our options from studios to one bedrooms. She relieved a lot of stress I had with relocating my mother to an assisted living community. I was intrigued by the activities and outings that they had to offer. Staff was very welcoming.

My sister found a very nice 2 bed 2 bath for my parents at Bright Oaks and I was impressed when I had a chance to see it for myself. My parents had a list of things that they wanted, and Bright Oaks checked all the boxes. It's a beautiful place near the river and their apartment had a lot of space. Alex was a joy to work with and helped us get through some last minute difficulties. She takes a genuine interest in the residents and knew everyone's names when we visited. She even visited my mother in the hospital. Unfortunately my parents both passed away before they had a chance to move in, so I can't speak to the long term experience. But I can say that the experience we did have was very positive and we very much appreciate their support through difficult times.

My dad is a resident of Bright Oaks for the past 6 months. Everyday we are thankful for the staff and the care and compassion they show our dad. They continually try to engage the residents and I am so moved when I see staff holding hands and putting arms around the residents as if they are family. Bright Oaks recently began recognizing their staff with Employees of the Month and this recognition is so deserved. Our family makes it a point to nominate these valuable employees and thanks the directors for recognizing them as well. Recently the facility had a picnic for residents and their families, and it was awesome. The smiles and excitement was fun to see. Hamburgers and hotdogs, popcorn and ice cream were enjoyed by all. It was evident the amount of work and effort this took and it was all staff on deck. We thank you all for your hard work to make it a special day for all!
July 2022
My mother-in-law began her stay at Bright Oaks after breaking her hip a few months ago. She completed her time at a rehab facility but was unable to care for herself at home, so we needed a place that offered respite care. After her first few weeks there, we knew it was the perfect place for her to be. In fact, she is now a permanent resident and has made it home! The staff are very caring and helpful and we're very happy with our choice!!
December 2021
Mirka was sooo helpful with my mothers assessment for care. Her bedside manner with Mom during the process was very much appreciated. She clearly genuinely cares.
November 2021
Thank you Bright Oaks. You have rejuvenated my mother-in-law and given her family the peace of mind that she is in a Safe Happy Place. In the short time that she has been at the facility, she is living a fulfilling life, reconnecting with a life long friend and doing activities that she never believed she could do. The Bright Oaks Team has embraced her and our family. You are the best and we are so happy we found you. Thank you.

March 2018
The loss of the mind is a horrible thing to watch as a loved one left to find care. The idea that someone else will need to provide for your loved one is a terrible Adventure in life and the staff here provided the best possible care that mom could get. Price care and location were all met at Bright Oaks. From start to finish mom and I were treated like part of the family. I would bring my dad here if it becomes necessary.
March 2018
We spent a lot of time looking at places that were just the right spot for out mother. We were looking for a place first of all that was financially affordable that would offer the best services and not lose the quality of life our mother deserved. We found that in Bright Oaks of Aurora. After meeting a number of times with director Michelle Dodd, we were able to make the arrangements that we needed to for the move. The staff was always helpful. They had the activities our mom needed and we loved the idea of the different levels of care they offered. We visited many times and ate the exact food mom had on a daily basis. It was very good and offered a variety of items to meet the needs of each and every senior. The facility was always clean and well maintained. And the events and programs that were offered met the needs of everyone. It's not an easy thing to do for a loved one, but if you are needing to do it, I would highly recommend Bright Oaks of Aurora.
September 2017
Great atmosphere, responsible management, and outstanding staff! You can't help but notice an overwhelming sense of community and family from the first moment you walk in.
