So many wonderful aspects of this facility. The room and bathroom are spotless. I'm jealous of the menu for meals. My brother loves their word search etc, cognitive activity time. It's very bright and airy and active in the main area. Very expensive, but comparatively fair. The staff, overall, is helpful.

Absolutely amazing experience!
Thank you to the Director and Recreational Director for your leadrship and warmth. The family cannot be more appreciative, and our mother cannot be more delighted to finally find a place filled with entertainment, enjoyment, and all the emotional support anyone can ask for. The Bristal at North Woodmere is a smaller community where residents know each other and staff have the time to know exactly what each resident needs. relationships grow in a home such as this new home for our mother. We cannot stop bragging, nor can mom, about one department that stands out. The Recreational Director is warm, energetic, and compassionate. She goes above and beyond every day to make sure her residents have the quality of life they deserve. There is always something exciting happening at the Bristal, and our mom absolutely adores her. The leadership from the Senior Director is absolutely spot on. Thank you both for making this an amazing experience for our mother. You're the best!!

Great place
Went to pick up my aunt while I was in town and she is living her best life now. She’s involved in activities and talks to everyone instead of staying in her big house she didn’t take care of anymore
The staff are so friendly and welcoming even though they only see me once a year. You can feel the warmth in this place the minute you walk through the door.

Poor care
They left my mother-in-law in her apartment for two days and no one checked on her. The care is very poor they actives are none. The place is a dump. The staff does not care. The depart of health should close the place down.

Was not impressed with the wellness department. Seems as if the director has no clue as to what’s going on. She’s very rude to the residence and her staff. She is more like a zoo keeper.

A special community
My mom has been in the community for 7 mo now. We could not have picked a better place. From day one when we walked into the community and meet Robert at the front desk and he asked us how are day was . We felt we picked the right place for mom.
She has meet so many wonderful staff members and the residents. From [name removed]to [name removed]they have all been great. Most of all we know that mom is happy
Something that we have not seen in years. Thank you North Woodmere.

Very Happy at The Bristol of North Woodmere!
We visited several other facilities in the area but chose The Bristol at North Woodmere because it was like entering a 4 star Hotel instead of an assisted living facility. Not only is it so bright and cheerful, but the staff and all of the aides are so nice and helpful. My mother-in-law is so much happier here interacting with people rather than being in her old apartment all alone. She gets all of the assistance she needs throughout the day. Plus the wellness center has regular visits from a general practitioner, podiatrist and optometrist with a nurse on hand. Three good meals a day, movie theatre, exercise classes, hair salon and Shabbat every Friday, what more could we ask for. My mother-in-law didn't want to leave her apartment but once she took the tour and spoke to Lori the sales director who made her feel at ease and answered all of her concerns, she decided to try it and she's still there and very happy. I highly recommend the Bristol at North Woodmere.

A Super Transition
My mother was in a facility in Birmingham, Alabama, and we moved her back to Long Island. We chose the Bristal in North Woodmere because of location and all in all friendliness of the staff. My family could not be any more happy with our choice. She acclimated very well due to the caring staff. As a family we are extremely pleased with the care that she is receiving. There are a myriad of activities that fit all areas that are important for seniors. The Bristal also involves family in different events that they plan such as Grandparent's Day. Holidays are also celebrated with special lunches or dinners. All in all, my family and my mother are very pleased with the Bristal of North Woodmere. Thank you for being there for all seniors.

Highly recommend!
My dad has been a resident here for a year and a half. The entire staff from aides to management are compassionate and caring people. They help pair up people who they think will be friends, add activities to meet the interest of residents and the facility is immaculate. My 12 year old thought grandpa moved into a hotel. Highly recommend!

The staff is attentive and caring and help promote a friendly comfortable atmosphere for all of the residents. The executive director and the administration seem to be on top of ensuring the well being and enjoyment of the residents. They do a good job of communicating any issues with the family of the residents. The residents seem to like one another creating a nice social setting.

The Bristal: Mom and Dad will LOVE this Community
I am a Healthcare Professional who owns a Home Care Agency. I am a frequent visitor to this Community (as residents occasionally call upon my Agency to provide short-term, one-on-one assistance for Mom or Dad in addition to the services they receive at The Bristal). I have also referred a number of families to The Bristal at North Woodmere. The staff is extremely warm, friendly, welcoming and professional, while the Community itself is clean, gorgeous, and vibrant. This is a direct reflection on the Staff, as well as on the Bristal Philosophy and Mission Statement. From the ED, [name removed], to Wellness Director [name removed], and on down to Food Services, Recreation, Housekeeping, Wait Staff and the Front Desk, every member of the Bristal Team takes it upon themself to engage the Residents individually, and to make them feel like they are respected and valued member of the Community. I am most impressed with how "social" the atmosphere at the Bristal feels. There is always a buzz in the lunch room (where Food Services Director [name removed] takes great pride in providing delicious and creative meals and snacks). And there is a constant bustle of activity - from Music Programs, to regular Card games, to Movies, and of course everyone's favorite: Bingo! There are also frequent Bus Trips for Outside activities like the Beach, Broadway Plays, and other Special Events. The rooms are beautiful, and provide a true feeling of home when the Residents have had their fill of the daily activities in the Community. DCR [name removed] is often giving tours of the building during my visits, and takes great pride in helping families make an informed, UN-pressured decision as to whether her Community is the "right fit" for the family's Loved One. I am frankly a bit envious of the amenities, luxury and pampering that Bristal North Woodmere residents get to experience, and would wholeheartedly recommend this Community for families looking to ensure that Mom and Dad get the most out of their Senior Years!

My mom has been living at the Bristal in North Woodmere for over a year and still says "Home Sweet Home" when returning from an outing. Nothing could be more comforting than seeing her in a happy and safe environment. Working with [Name removed] made mom's move a smooth and stress free transition for the whole family. [Name removed] works very diligently to make sure everything is taken care of. I especially love how the whole staff greats my mom by name and everyone is very in tune to her needs.

Tips for evaluating your community options
Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the New York regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about New York regulations for Assisted Living.
