I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My cousin is a resident here and I helped her choose this facility last year. Every time I visit her I know it was the best decision. She is part of a community of wonderful people who care about her....both residents and staff. She has truly found her home. She invited us today for a Father's Day BBQ along with some other cousins. What a celebration of family and friends. Many staff talked to us and were truly engaged with residents. A staff member played the guitar and played songs upon request as we sat aro…

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

When we walked into The Bristal at Sayville, we saw a person we knew from our local church. It's a very pretty place and it looks nice inside. People seem to be actively involved in different things. The staff seems to be pretty up. Then we saw her room and several other rooms. They were a fairly good size. She said that she didn't like the food, because it was brought in from a company and then reheated. It's very pretty and very eye-appealing. Somebody took the time to make sure that it's very…

Bad Experience

Place looks beautiful, care is horrible! Staff needs to reaccess if they should be working with the elderly as they are not treated nicely. Big mistake putting my loved one here. Aides are not very nice, paid for them to hand medication didnt even make sure pills actually went into her mouth. Found several pills on the bed, rushed out the door. Not Nice! aides shouldnt be working with the elderly!!!!! big mistake placing my loved on here!!!!

Qualty of Life

After selling the home she lived in for over 60 years, my mom moved into a beautiful apartment While there she became unhappy and lonely, and after giving up her license and car, felt isolated. We heard about a new assisted living facility opening in Sayville and were hopeful that this was the answer. It took some convincing, but she agreed to the move. She was one of the first residents! She made friends and started to socialize and to really enjoy her life. Its been over 6 years and I feel The Bristal has exten…

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My mother had been a resident for 2.5 years, and my father has recently joined her. And although his admission from the community during COVID was a little more challenging for us, it went smoothly. The staff is friendly and caring, and the facility is immaculate. My parents enjoy the food and the choices available. There are plenty of activities to keep them busy if that is what they choose. My mother really enjoys the outdoor courtyard Spring, Summer and Fall. COVID has posed challenges for all of us, and I have …
