Kudos to Ms. Juanita, Ms. Carolyn, Ms. Sabrina, and other staff whom I met at the front desk when I came to visit my brother. They are very friendly, professional, and helpful. God Bless!!

If I could give this place a Negative Star I would. The pictures portrayed on the Website aren’t any where near the inside or outside of this facility. This place needs to be torn down and rebuilt. Let’s start with the nets flying around the food as it’s being served to the residents. Blinds torn in rooms of patients windows. Staff is a whole different story TRASH!! Lies on top of Lies, the Doctors that are on staff must be retired or PRN because the diagnosis are not correct. If you Truly Love your Love Ones Please Consider before placing them in the hands of this Facility.

Our journey to the world of LTC began with a stroke in October. Prior to that, he was living independently at 93 years of age at home with a walker and frequent help from adult kids. The facility is old. The alarm system is absolutely jarring to the senses. When we visit we take him outside away from the noise. Bristol has a lovely courtyard for patients to enjoy. Every CNA and Nurse we have had to care for him has been polite, kind and competent bestowing dignity and respect. The therapists have been very available and patient with him. The food is good (patient approved). Estrangement in families and the miracle of modern medicine that allows us to live longer in unhealthy bodies has contributed to the weight of the silver tsunami. The antiquated warehouse approach needs reform, badly. Nursing homes are not for everyone, but some times it is the only appropriate option. For a 24/7 caregiver at $30/hour one can expect to pay about $22,000/month. I am grateful for the snf and for Medicare. The nursing home environment at Bristol is different. It is nurturing as well as autonomy driven. Every moment is a teachable moment, every day he seems to get a little bit better, more aware of his challenges, yet comforted knowing help is only a few minutes away. I have worked in nursing homes for many years. The pretty one's and the modern one's aren't always the best ones. This facility was not our first choice. But it has become a very welcome oasis of competent convalescents and hope. Visit often, bring sweets to the staff, be the reason employees love working in the nursing home. You will meet angels and you will be moved by the care and empathy they offer your loved one.

My mother is currently living here and at first, it sounded great and an excellent place for her. After a while, quality of care drastically decreased. I justified a lot for so long because I’ve heard so much about the turnover rate and the center not being able to keep staff, which I understand completely being in the field, assuming they were doing the best they could under bad circumstances. I’m guessing now they’re just giving anyone a job to fill spots. There’s a CNA named Sherri who walks around the center bad mouthing multiple patients, including my mother. She talks about my mother’s money and makes implications that my mother is getting with bedridden men in the facility for cigarettes. What is someone, especially who is supposed to be taking care of my mother, worrying about that at all for? Let alone to talk to other patients that way? I’ve been told this is a CNA who’s had to be re-educated twice already. It’s absolutely disgusting and incredibly unprofessional. The staff’s also lost her clothes multiple times when her laundry gets done and doesn’t even act like they feel bad about it when she’s down to barely any clothes. It’s not right at all.

The nurses my mom had were nice. Alarms were going off all the time. Man patient wondering into women’s room. Person at front desk didn’t know how to use computer to look up rooms. Parking lot had shady characters wondering into parking lot.
