Bristol Manor of California sits in a quiet, green neighborhood in California, Missouri, and has space for up to 12 seniors, making it feel calm and homelike, and people say the place has a 4.5-star review rating, which mostly lines up with what folks expect from a smaller place like this. The staff is there 24 hours a day to help with everyday things like moving from a bed to a wheelchair, dealing with medicines, and watching over emergency call systems in both private bedrooms and bathrooms, since every resident gets their own room with a private bathroom. People who need memory care or Alzheimer's services find help here, too, and Bristol Manor takes care of meals-they prepare three each day, so no one needs to worry about cooking.
There's adult day services for seniors who want to visit just for the day, as well as assisted living, independent living, memory care, respite care, and even some support and referrals for things like hospice and home care if those ever come up. Trained caregivers, a part-time nurse, and visiting specialists such as podiatrists, physical, occupational, and speech therapists come by, and the place manages diabetic care, incontinence support, medication reminders, and standby assistance for folks who don't walk on their own.
Residents see a doctor on call, get visits from nurses, and have care plans set up just for them, and all the while the staff keeps things clean with regular housekeeping, laundry, linen, and maintenance services. There's both outdoor and indoor spaces for people to sit, talk, and enjoy activities together, including meals eaten together in the communal dining area. Devotional and religious services are held onsite for folks who find comfort in those, and the home is close to a busline if anyone still wants to get out and about or if family wants to visit by public transport.
Room types fit a range of needs, with studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and semi-private options, and the published average price for a studio is $2,045, with prices listed for different sizes and care levels, alongside community and respite fees. Resident parking's available for those still driving, and the layout and landscape make it peaceful, with flower beds and plenty of quiet spots to relax outside. The team offers group activities, so residents have the chance to make friends, but if someone prefers quiet time in their own room, that's fine too. Bristol Manor aims to help people keep their independence as much as possible, and adjust help as each person needs.
