Our experience with Mom at The Bristal at East Meadow has been excellent. Of course, we wanted a facility that was upbeat, clean, safe, and be a place that would provide companionship for Mom. But we also needed a wellness staff that could efficiently administer Mom's complex and ever changing meds. And be a place where we would be comfortable leaving her while we pursued other activities. The Bristal has done all of this and more. We consistently proclaim to family members and others that Mom is very happy at The Bristal. After almost 3 years, I can say we have no regrets about our decision…

Our experience with Mom at The Bristal at East Meadow has been excellent. Of course, we wanted a facility that was upbeat, clean, safe, and be a place that would provide companionship for Mom. But we also needed a wellness staff that could efficiently administer Mom's complex and ever changing meds. And be a place where we would be comfortable leaving her while we pursued other activities. The Bristal has done all of this and more. We consistently proclaim to family members and others that Mom is very happy at The Bristal. After almost 3 years, I can say we have no regrets about our decision to have Mom live at The Bristal.

My father has been here a few months and loves it. The whole team there is amazing. I had a family member that worked with Deborah the Executive Director in the past and was referred to her. She toured the facility with us and explained how everything works, to go through rest of process I transitioned over to Gina, Careena and the rest of the team. They’ve all been an absolute pleasure to deal with. Always keep me in the loop with what’s going on with dad, they got him out of his shell quite a bit. It’s great to see him happy and see how involved everyone is. Highly recommend them.

Our mother has been living at the Bristal in East Meadow for 2 years and she has been very happy with everything. The staff is attentive and have accommodated her changing needs.

I brought my mother to The Bristal at East Meadow almost a year ago and each time I visit her, I feel very confident and assured that she is in the right place and the best place for her. She is able to maintain her independence, but she has the availability to high quality freshly prepared nutritious and delicious meals and staff to remind her about taking her prescribed medication. The Bristal is an excellent and very clean facility. The place is always well-maintained, and the staff are very friendly, helpful, and attentive to the residents. I highly recommend The Bristal at East Meadow!

Our family has had a great experience at The Bristal East Meadow. The staff is warm, attentive and truly cares about the residents happiness and well being. My Mom enjoys staying active and social -especially playing bingo and canasta with friends. The community is beautiful, the apartments are comfortable, the dining is excellent. The food is delicious with many varieties. We highly recommend The Bristal East Meadow to anyone looking for a caring senior living community.

We are very happy with The Bristal at East Meadow! The staff is very friendly and attentive. We feel like we’re at home when we visit our mother! The staff knows my mother by name and they even know my name. My mother has made many friends and enjoys going to the movie theater and the craft room. All departments - Admin, Wellness, Reception, Dining Room, Entertainment, Maintenance , Housekeeping, and the Salon work together to provide a safe, warm, fun, and comfortable environment! We highly recommend The Bristal at East Meadow!

My family and I could not be happier with our experience at The Bristal at East Meadow. Like many seniors, my father was very hesitant to leave the home he had lived in for years, and we were understandably nervous about such a big transition. From the moment he moved in, however, all of those concerns disappeared. The staff made the adjustment smooth, welcoming, and genuinely caring. The environment is warm, engaging, and respectful, and my father quickly found his routine and his community. He thanks me often for helping him make the decision to move in. He is happier, and clearly at ease, which gives our entire family incredible peace of mind. Choosing The Bristal at East Meadow was one of the best decisions we have ever made. If you are struggling with whether assisted living is the right step for your loved one, I can honestly say this place has been life-changing for our family, and especially for my father.

The staff at the Bristal East Meadow is caring, responsive and just lovely. Of special note are Gina P, Director of Community Relations; Eddie, front desk; and the entire Activities Department. They have special holiday events, a movie every day, a knitting club (where they are making blankets for veterans), and my mother's favorite: Bingo!
