Community Reviews
Very Happy at The Bristol of North Woodmere!
reviewed on: 09/30/2019 by Annette MillerWe 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.
The Bristal North Woodmere
reviewed on: 06/20/2017 by Debra WilhelmMom's move to the Bristal was accomplished in a very fast and relatively stress free environment. I owe all this to Lori McGuinness, who no matter how often I called or emailed her she always made time for our family. She was extremely sensitive to what we needed and went out of her way to help us. We chose the 1 bedroom at the last minute and it was available within 24 hours of our request. Mom has been living at the Bristal for 6 weeks now and is extremely happy. Everything from the food to the staff is exactly what we had hoped for. We are so pleased with our decision and know that our Mom is in the best assisted living home. I would highly recommend The Bristal at North Woodmere!
Nice place, overall
reviewed on: 09/21/2015 by AnonymousOverall The Bristal seemed like a nice enough place, although I do think there were a few ways our experience could have been improved. In terms of the aide staff and the facility itself they do a very nice job. The people are friendly and the facility is clean and well kept. However, I think the communication with families could have been better, and we had some difficulty coordinating my loved ones medical care.
cheapest so far, no scooters or wheel...

A Very Good Place for Mom
reviewed on: 11/25/2013 by Leslie MarkusMy husband and I liked the Bristal for many reasons. It is located about six minutes from our home. It is beautifully furnished in the lobby as well as in all the public rooms. We were always greeted at the desk with courtesy and immediate attention and we wanted all of this for my 91 year old mother. We met with lovely [removed] Joyce Sokoloff and Joan Shapiro took us on tours and helped to explain the basic arrangements for my mother. When my mother visited the Bristal she was willing to make the move. Mom is only here for one week. Already, she has made friends, learned about events and has participated in many activities. She is walking better since taking up exercise class!
