Community Reviews
Nice place, overall
reviewed on: 09/21/2015 by AnonymousOverall The Bristal seemed like a nice enough place, although I do think there were a few ways our experience could have been improved. In terms of the aide staff and the facility itself they do a very nice job. The people are friendly and the facility is clean and well kept. However, I think the communication with families could have been better, and we had some difficulty coordinating my loved ones medical care.
Getting adjusted!
reviewed on: 12/12/2016 by AnonymousEverything has been going great here. Dad is getting adjusted well. All has been good and he likes it. The staff has been doing a good job. They do offer activities for the residents to enjoy.
A lovely place!!
reviewed on: 10/14/2016 by AnonymousA few of the caregivers were better than others. The rest of the caregivers were not attentive. They treated mom like she was a child. The food was mediocre. They had set dining room times. She went out to wait for me and the staff said she was wondering. I then had to hire attendants to help them watch her. I feel they over reacted and she is no longer at this community.
dad loves it there!
reviewed on: 10/15/2015 by AnonymousMy father calls it "my fancy hotel". He absolutely loves it there! If there is any negative at all, it is that it is not a medical facility so they have to rush him to a hospital for medical care and he has had to be rushed there six times in the last couple weeks, and a few of those turned out not to be necessary. They really are a wonderful group of people and are very attentive to him. They are really lovely caring people. They know their clientele very well. They know my father by name and always greet him kindly and warmly.
The Bristal: Mom and Dad will LOVE this Community
reviewed on: 03/13/2019 by Kevin CI am a Healthcare Professional who owns a Home Care Agency. I am a frequent visitor to this Community (as residents occasionally call upon my Agency to provide short-term, one-on-one assistance for Mom or Dad in addition to the services they receive at The Bristal). I have also referred a number of families to The Bristal at North Woodmere. The staff is extremely warm, friendly, welcoming and professional, while the Community itself is clean, gorgeous, and vibrant. This is a direct reflection on the Staff, as well as on the Bristal Philosophy and Mission Statement. From the ED, Latavia Ross, to Wellness Director Marcia Suckey, and on down to Food Services, Recreation, Housekeeping, Wait Staff and the Front Desk, every member of the Bristal Team takes it upon themself to engage the Residents individually, and to make them feel like they are respected and valued member of the Community. I am most impressed with how "social" the atmosphere at the Bristal feels. There is always a buzz in the lunch room (where Food Services Director Verna takes great pride in providing delicious and creative meals and snacks). And there is a constant bustle of activity - from Music Programs, to regular Card games, to Movies, and of course everyone's favorite: Bingo! There are also frequent Bus Trips for Outside activities like the Beach, Broadway Plays, and other Special Events. The rooms are beautiful, and provide a true feeling of home when the Residents have had their fill of the daily activities in the Community. DCR Lori McGuinness is often giving tours of the building during my visits, and takes great pride in helping families make an informed, UN-pressured decision as to whether her Community is the "right fit" for the family's Loved One. I am frankly a bit envious of the amenities, luxury and pampering that Bristal North Woodmere residents get to experience, and would wholeheartedly recommend this Community for families looking to ensure that Mom and Dad get the most out of their Senior Years!
