"Bristol Manor was not very caring and tended to be neglectful. They did not have enough staff on hand which resulted in residents becoming ill. We had to move my grandmother out of there and into a better facility. The residents were friendly and got a long well but that did not make up for the quality y of living. The manor's home is located right off a major highway and gets a lot of traffic. There are developments springing up around the manor and there is not very much space for the residents to move around. The owners of the facility try their best to take care of the residents but they are under staffed and have trouble providing adequate care. With our case the staff might have taken advantage of our grandmother while she was sick and taken belongings from her but that is just speculation. I would not want anyone's grandparent or relative to stay in this place. "

"This facility is ideal for my mother due to a small number of residents of 12 max co-ed. Each has their own bedroom with a bathroom. The furniture is provided, 3 home cooked meals with snacks, cable TV in the living room and activity room with board games. They have bingo, music therapy once a week, etc. The Administrator, Ms. Antoinette, has great personality, knowledgeable and experienced. I thank her for giving me a peace of mind that my mom is where she is. Her staff, Ms. Barb, is also wonderful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a place for their loved ones."
