We had a good visiting experience at Brookdale Bristol. The staff member who gave the tour was very nice. She presented everything as well as she could, and I thought she did well. The atmosphere of the place seemed to be pleasant during the time we were there. The layout is more like a motel, the building has multistory. The rooms were adequate and fine, they seem to be neat and clean. The dining area seemed to be fine and nice. This place wasn't as nice as the other place I visited, but it seemed nice and adequate.

My mom already moved in to Brookdale Bristol. It's very nice, big, and has a good staff. It also has nice-sized rooms. My mom loves it. The staff is very good and hands-on. My mom thinks the food is great because she gets a choice of what she wants to eat. They have music and bingo.

Im a caregiver for an elderly couple and this place is very rude to me. Most of the kitchen staff is very unhelpful and rude.

My dad is settled at Brookdale Bristol. He’s making friends and doing well. It’s the best place for his health condition. He can’t go without his cooked meals. He has his medicine and a free shuttle. It’s six hours from South Carolina where my sister lives on the beach to go to my dad’s, and it’s six hours from Clarksville for me to go over to my dad. He has a nice big two-bedroom. He has a desk in his computer room and beautiful, brand-new furnishings, which he got to pick out. I think he has the biggest apartment down there. He’s happy. I love the food. My dad loves soup before his meal, and they make homemade soup every day. Everybody comes in to the dining room, which is beautiful. They bring them their coffee, and the bread basket goes around. My dad likes the idea that they give them a menu and they circle what they want out of three entrees. Brookdale is excellent. He had a birthday, so they had balloons and a party.

I’m familiar with Brookdale Bristol since I belong to a senior group that performed songs and music there for them. It’s nice. I think the rooms are fairly nice and somewhat spartan, but they do have some two-bedrooms that are extremely nice. The staff is fine; I know some of the people because I’ve had some interaction with them. The activities are fairly extensive. I’ve been invited to a dinner there, and the food is excellent. The dining area is quite nice and comparable to a quality restaurant.

Brookdale was very nice, and I like the way it was set up. Every day, they have several entrees to choose from for dining and have alternatives and alternative menus to be ordered from individually. What I didn’t like about them was it had more independent living, like a three-story apartment building, and my parents would not do well in an elevator, so they would definitely need the first floor. They were more open and willing to convert the bath tub into a shower.

I have been a resident at Grand Court Bristol for about 4 years now. I have seen many people come and go and many changes. I think the changes that have been made over the past year are exactly what we needed here! We receive excellent care, our food is delicious and looks good and we have great activities. We have a new director and she is outstanding. We also have a new activities director and she has brought life into our program. Everyhbody seems to be excited about what is going on here. I am so happy to be a resident at Grand Court and happy to call this home.

We are just beginning the search to help my Dad find what he needs in this part of his life journey. We were greeted as soon as we entered the building and took a tour of the facilities. We were invited to ask questions and were given a folder with all the information we discussed and which would help us in making a decision. We appreciate all the information we received and the friendly, prompt and courteous people at Grand Court.

They were extremely cordial and informative. I also appreciated that they would work with us on things special to my step father.

I'd been there several times and I was interested in moving there myself together with my wife so the two of us would live there together, but she went downhill a lot faster than I expect so I have to put her to a place by herself.

I'm pleased to say when I visited last weekend I was pleasantly surprised by all of the activity going on. Everyone seemed to be having a great time! I felt welcomed and totally comfortable on my first visit. Thank you for your hospitality!

The outside of this building was absolutely beautiful. It was similar to the castle-style homes that were built in this area in the 1930s and 1940s.
When I visited, the only bad thing that I noticed about this building was the lack of staff. Although the few staff that were present were extremely friendly and helpful, for a place of this size and stature, I could only think that more people should be staffed here than I saw.
Otherwise, I highly recommend Grand Court.

My mother is very happy at Brookdale Bristol. It's meeting all her needs at this point, and we're content with it. I wouldn't say that her room was pristine and the housekeeping was necessarily where I would want, but it's still acceptable. The staff is very friendly and very accommodating. There are enough activities going. The food is just very calorie-dense. The menu is inappropriate for the age and health of the folks living there.

I went to tour at Grand Court for a family member and was really impressed with this facility. When I first walked in I was greeted by one of the employees. They had activities going on in the lobby (bingo) and they had a full house Then as I was leaving they where having a mix and mingle social with many residents attending that also. While I was there I toured a studio apartment and a one bedroom apartment they were both very nice. And very clean. The dining department was very upscale and the food looked wonderful. I loved the fact that they have services to transport to doctor visits and such. After touring this facility I am glad to say that my loved one has made Brookdale Bristol their home. Best decision that we have ever made!!

Grand Court Bristol is great. Everybody is really nice. When I first saw it, I was like "oh!" because the facility doesn't look very nice. However, when you get inside, the people are wonderful and the place is wonderful, I had a completely total turnaround. The transition was great, we had no problems at all. My relative is in independent living, so she can cook her own meals. She only has one meal a day from the facility. She said lunch was definitely better than dinner, so she is actually eating lunch there. She is very active, which is good, that's why we wanted her to go to Grand Court.
