Community Reviews
Beautiful and clean, but ....
reviewed on: 09/06/2019 by Michele ManheimerMy mom had lived at the Bristal Westbury for approximately 1 year. First, let me say the place is beautiful and immaculately clean. The food is excellent and she very much enjoyed every meal. The staff (from front desk, dining room, housekeeping and aides) were all wonderful, friendly, caring and kind. The Wellness staff was also top notch. However, my advice is to get everything in writing when signing the initial contract. We were told by a number of people in the executive staff (senior and junior) TIME AND TIME AGAIN that they would be able to provide my mom with certain services that she needed. It turned out they could not legally provide these services and we had to move her to another facility that had an Enhanced Care License. After we made arrangements to transfer her, it was brought to our attention that there was another Bristal who had that license. Had we known, we would have moved her there. It would have saved us much angst and heartache if the people who run the Bristal would get their their act together and their information correct.
Like this best so far.

The place is beautiful!
reviewed on: 12/17/2013 by FamilyThe place is beautiful! I camped out on their couch when I got them moved in. I guess we are a little disappointed that there aren't many people that they can connect with. They seem to be having a difficult time adjusting. There's also a restaurant downstairs that must do a disco thing on the weekends and you can hear them late at night, it's a beautiful place everyone there is attentive and lovely. Behind the restaurant there is also is a recycle center or something similar that is kind of noisy.
No clear cost
reviewed on: 03/15/2017 by AnonymousWe toured this community when looking for my dad and it was nice. The meals looked good.The issue we had is there was no set price. There we additional costs for certain amenities.They wanted us to get an evaluation with the doctor before moving in and the price could have changed between that time because of care needs. We felt that the cost was too flexible for someone on a fixed income.
The Bristal of Westbury - look no further
reviewed on: 03/23/2019 by Peggy McManusWe are giving a 5-Star Review of The Bristal of Westbury. We are so very happy with the care that our Dad is receiving at The Bristal. It was a very difficult decision to make when we could no longer face the fact that our Dad needed more care than we were equipped to give. Because of his dementia and bad hip and heart condition, etc., home was truly no longer a safe place. Because his children all have to work full-time, monitoring meds, food shopping, cleaning his home, making sure he was safe and monitoring his eating habits was becoming more and more difficult. Another aspect is when he lived home, we weren't truly "visiting" with him, we were "taking care" of things - now, we visit w/him and it is truly a visit. Since we believe our Dad deserves only the upmost in care and living facilities, we chose The Bristal of Westbury. Thanks to amazing ppl that worked at The Bristal, Noemi Valentino and too many others to name and the most amazing, caring person, Monica Wiedeman - who was our Rock from Dad's initial Assisted Living stay at The Arbors... and then when he needed more licensed care, @ The Bristal of Westbury. The Bristal is licensed for ALL levels of care - it truly is the definition of "aging in place -- Aging in Dignity." Not to mention that The Bristal of Westbury is immaculate, my Dad and his clothes are kept clean, his meds monitored, his room is beautiful and gives all of us a "homey" feeling whenever we visit and the meals and the Entrée choices are amazing, truly a restaurant setting. The staff is friendly, loving, attentive to all Dad's needs...and to us - They have several different beautiful rooms (one on each floor) that families can reserve to order in food and have celebrations - there are even rooms that can be reserved where the Bristal will provide the food, etc. There are several livingroom styled rooms throughout the facility where Residents and/or their families can visit - the Residents are not just limited to one room that they can mingle in. There are many, many activities to keep those residents that are able, active. There is a beautiful movie theatre, 24 hour bistro, Wellness Center, hair salon, etc. In closing, although a gut-wrenching decision at first, The Bristal has far surpassed all our hopes and brought us peace of mind, we are in peace that Dad is getting the very best of care, in gorgeous, clean, loving surroundings - our visits are happy, he is content in his new journey. If your love one is at the stage of their journey where they require amazing care, look no further than The Bristal of Westbury - you will never, ever have to second guess your decision. We are truly blessed that our Dad is being cared for at The Bristal of Westbury. -- The Family of Jack McManus
