wonderful facility, great staff, would recommend

We really couldn't be any happier with the entire facility. The cleanliness and friendliness being on the top along with good food and a great menu. Care has been very good too. Activities are ok the only thing we wish would be a larger outdoor area to enjoy. I would have done away with the outdoor pool to make more room.

I would not recommend them

If your family member is unable to care for themselves you absolutely need to keep on top of them. Everything that goes on at the location should be watched as they do not watch for you. I would not recommend them

Our experience looking for a place for my dad.

When my 97 year old father fell in July we knew it was time to move him closer to us. My husband I looked at 8 different places. We were looking for the right fit as well keeping within his budget that he saved up for this occasion. We were impressed with the premises and the staff that we met. The rooms were clean and they were spacious. My father is pleased with his room, his meals and the staff in his first week there.

THANKYOU to all the staff for making this transition for my mom so seemless. Her room is big and sunny and clean. Everything/everywhere is sooo clean. The staff is extremely attentive, friendly and super inviting. After a year of Covid isolation, it is so nice to see my mom smile again.

Life at The Bristal

I highly recommend this community to my friends. I would let the kno that the community is expensive. Prior to COVID the food was very good. Due to COVID the food is average to good at best. The room size is perfect for my loved. The room is much like having your own studio apartment.

At 91- A life of joy at the Bristal!

We placed my mother, 91 years old, at the Bristal at Holtsville mid 2018. She was critical of the change, but I encouraged her to stay a few months because it was the best solution for her well-being at the time. Two months later, during one of my calls to her on her cell phone, I asked her what she thought about her stay there. To my surprise she said to me, "I can't speak to you now, I am too busy". Well, that told me everything. Seven months later she continues to tell me that she is having so much fun that she can't stop laughing. Now if that isn't one of the best things to hear from an elderly mother, I don't know what is. Enough said!!!

The facility was beautiful. The person who showed me the facility answered all my questions. But it was not the right fit for my Dad. The facility was a bit more luxurious a place than he would be comfortable in, and the costs were at the higher end.

My mother did not have a positive stay at the Bristol in Holtsville. The sales pitch was great, but mom was not happy there. I cannot recommend this facility based on our experiences with elevators not working, quality of food and care received.

Beautiful building and good services. Units expensive for location. Directly on Long Island Expressway and backing up onto parking lot - completely depressing. Not a tree in sight. Fine if person never leaves the building. Feels institutional and is sited in a sea of asphalt.

Excellent, caring place!

I cannot say enough about The Bristal from the friendly and caring staff to the food, cleanliness, activities and overall care. My father was extremely resistant when he entered The Bristal in August, 2017 even though he and we, as his family, knew that he needed the support. With days, he was open to staying and now loves it. We owe a lot of this to the staff who made him feel important, welcome and supported. The activities are varied and include frequent outings to local stores and entertainment. They even have monthly live entertainment at the Bristal. The quality and variety of the food is superior. There is nothing I would change about the environment. As his family, we always know that he is well cared for and most importantly, he is safe and happy.

Beautiful Place!!

I have no complaints about how things are going for my mother since she has made the move into this community. The staff are very helpful and I could not ask for a better group to care for her in my opinion. She has had no problems with the tasty meals and really has been engaging in a lot of the activities they have throughout the day. I have noticed she seems a lot more focused and alert since she made the move and overall I am very pleased.

The property was very clean when I had taken my tour and everything was well presented by the staff member that showed us around the facility. She made sure to take her time with us and answer any questions we had for them with patience. The floor plan was open and was easy for the residents to navigate through which I was impressed with.

Lovely Community

This a lovely community, and I'am satisfied with my aunts move to this community. They are taking good care of her, and her needs. She is still adjusting to the routine around the community, but they have a good staff. They are treating her well. The community looks beautiful. This community has a good reputation around town, and I would recommend it.

We love it!

This place is like walking into a five star hotel. It is a new community and it is beautiful. Mom is doing really well here and the people are great with her. Mom sometimes likes the food and sometimes does not, but when we ate there it was good. The dining room environment is very pleasant. We also like the location of the community.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know New York’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about New York’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
