Community Reviews
Excellent memory care unit with compassionate care.
reviewed on: 02/12/2019 by Arnold Eggers, M.D.When my brother's Alzheimer's disease rapidly worsened last summer, I realized I could no longer take care of him and would need to find a nearby memory care unit. I interviewed five nearby places and believe that I made the correct choice. Both my brother and I are retired physicians and I understand the special kind of calling which is required to work in a memory care unit, where all residents are gradually losing ground. The staff of the Bristal, top to bottom, seem to have this calling: they provided sensitive compassionate care from the very beginning. I was initially so upset it took me a couple weeks to finalize what I knew was the right decision. There has been no looking back. My brother is always well groomed and looked after. There is a geriatric psychiatrist who visits weekly and with whom I had a couple of good conversations at the beginning (I may have gotten special treatment because of being a physician myself). I would recommend this paradoxically cheerful and lovely place to anyone.
Mom is in good hands at the Bristol
reviewed on: 02/23/2019 by Zavis and Milo ZavodniTo Whom it may Concern Our mother Mila Zavodni, now 103 years old, has been a level 2 resident of the Bristal Assisted Living Facility in White Plains since November of 2017. During those 14 months, my brother Milo and I (he lives in Maine, I live in Utah) have paid her regular visits, usually lasting for 5- 7 days each time, and have consequently had many occasions to observe the staff and the operations at the facility. We find many of the employees to be hard working, friendly, and caring of the residents. They appear to take pride in their work and a number of them go "above and beyond the call of duty” in their interactions with the residents. And, of course, our mother has various favorites, where her face lights up when they enter her room. We continue to be pleased that the facility is kept neat, clean, and has an “up-to-date feel” about it. The decorations during the various holidays always add to the welcoming and homey ambiance. The house-keeping staff maintains our mother’s room and the common areas fresh and clean. The maintenance staff does a good job of keeping things running smoothly and efficiently, and responds quickly to requests for repairs or modifications. The front desk is well managed and access to the facility is properly controlled but in a friendly manner; we are especially happy to note that the sign-in/sign-out procedures are strictly enforced. While not always responding in the quick space of time that our mother hopes for, the staff is professional and ready to help. Nursing care is properly administered to satisfy her needs. Drugs appear to be given regularly and in proper dosages. The food is well prepared with a wide choice to cater to every appetite. (We do sometimes wonder if such an extensive selection at meals is really necessary.) Our mother is too weak to participate in a broad array of extracurricular activities, but we sense that these are well-chosen, quite diversified, and appreciated by many of the more active residents. The senior staff have proven to be very understanding of the residents' needs and stand ready to cater to special requests of family members and visitors. The Bristal has done a good job of communicating any unusual events to us, as concerned parties of a resident. While there is always room for improvement, we feel that our mother is in good hands at the Bristal. Zavis and Milo Zavodni sons of Mila Zavodni

reviewed on: 04/06/2015 by Anne GreenbergMy mom has lived at the Bristal in White Plains for almost 2 months now. The staff is very helpful and courteous. The building is cheerful and spotless. My Mom's room is perfect for her. The bathroom set up is much safer than we had for her at home. She has been participating in bingo and the knitting club. Hopefully now that the weather is getting better she will venture out. There has been an issue in the dinning room. She feels it takes too long to order and be served and often the wrong meal is served. I was also concerned that the staff was not familiar with at home INR testing for her Coumadin. We did work it out quickly though. I am very happy with the Bristal and would recommend it.
I feel like it's a beautiful shell.
reviewed on: 12/12/2013 by FamilyThe people don't clean the rooms very well at all, they don't do anything extra to even find someone if you need them. There are a lot of people there but they don't seem to do a lot, for extra services you have to pay extra. You have to pay extra for everything. I feel like it's a beautiful place but I feel like it's a shell that's all it is is a beautiful shell. The activities seem like more than there really are. They do have some different things to do, but not what it looked like at first glance. They say they have a five star chef but it really is like cafeteria food. They have a new director, who hasn't been there long so maybe he will be able to make some improvments. The people are friendly and very nice. You are not allowed to have a motorized wheelchair.
good experience
reviewed on: 10/29/2015 by AnonymousThe Bristal Assisted Living has been a good experience. She needs a lot of physical therapy and speech therapy. There could always be more done with that regard. Other than that things seem to be going well at this facility. We are pleased so far.
