Mary & Bright's programming has brought my mom back to life. Over the course of a few weeks, their global-themed programs awakened something I hadn’t seen in years. During a small tea party centered on France, my mom began to mutter in French—a language she hadn’t spoken in decades. I cannot thank Mary and her team enough for the joy they’ve brought to our family."

"Mary and her team have not only brought to life our residents and community but have empowered and encouraged me. She truly understands the day-to-day demands and stressors we experience in senior living and memory care. Her support is invaluable, and her programs have saved me time and energy, easing my stress and re-energizing me. Both our family and resident participation rates are higher than ever before—not only because of Mary & Bright’s exceptional programs but because she has inspired me to take my offerings to the next level."
