The Bristal at Lake Success

Lorraine Monaghan

Deciding on an Assisted Living facility was a very difficult decision during a very stressful time in my life.My Mom had suffered a stroke immediately after the death of my brother and had to relocate back to New York from South Carolina.She had been a very active person who enjoyed being around others.Now she was living with me and lacked the companionship of her peers. The Bristol has been a wonderful experience for her, she enjoys the activities which include cooking classes as well as the music programs. I cannot say enough about the staff, they are kind and compassionate . I have visited at different times of the day and never seen anyone treat the residents with anything but respect. My mother would be the first to say that there is not a thing she doesn’t like about her “home”;the food is wonderful and the environment is spotless .The bedrooms are spacious and bright with large windows and high ceilings that enhance the spaciousness. I had visited several other facilities but none could compare with the Bristol Memory Care in Lake Success. I will be eternally grateful to the staff for the care they provide.

Mom's place away from home

The Bristal was my moms home and we were very pleased with the service n care she received there. She was always well taken care of..clean n fed and rested. But beyond her basic needs she also was stimulated with the activities. The staff built relationships with her and truly cared for my mom. She laughed with the staff and sang songs and enjoyed the company of the residents. I was welcome to visit anytime and I did visit often. The administrative staff were very responsive and supportive. The nurses were skilled and very kind. We have a very positive experience at the Bristal!

My mother has memory loss. I would not put her in a bad facility. The Bristal is excellent. My mother is very well cared for and much happier and healthier there than she was in her own apartment. The staff is friendly, professional, very patient with the residents and takes good care of them. The facility is beautiful and like a luxury hotel. There is no institutional feel at all. I highly recommend this facility if your loved one has memory loss.

We had wanted to keep my father at home with my mother with the help of aides, but as dad’s Alzheimer’s advanced it became increasingly evident that this was an unrealistic option. After meeting with Julie W. at The Bristal at Lake Success, we realized that there was an opportunity for dad to have a better quality of life. Since becoming a resident at The Bristal, we have noticed some amazing changes as my father has become much more verbal and we see that he enjoys engaging in activities that stimulate and encourage group participation. My father appears to be much calmer and when he does have moments in which he is stressed or angry, the staff are quite skilled in redirecting attention. Residents are treated with respect and are cared for by the entire staff. Every member of the staff knows and greets my father by name which always brings a smile to his face. The facility is beautifully laid out and have a very welcoming feel. Resident apartments are extremely clean and well maintained. Although in less than a month, the Bristal has far-exceeded my expectations.
