The Bristal Assisted Living at Westbury sits in Nassau County, NY, and offers seniors a place to live with help when they need it. The building is a mid-rise with studios, one-bedroom, and friendship suite apartments, each with a kitchenette and private bathroom. Residents can bring small pets if they're able to care for them. The community provides assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care, with the goal to let people stay as they age and need more support. Staff are trained and available all day and night. There's a secure Reflections Memory Care neighborhood for people with Alzheimer's or other dementias, plus a Foresite fall detection and health monitoring system built into the apartments.
Meals are served three times a day in country club-style dining rooms, and the menu includes options for special diets, like low-salt or low-sugar. There's a cafe/bistro for coffee and snacks all day, a pub/bar, and room service if staying in is best. Residents can play billiards, watch a movie in the theater, read in the library, or do crafts and art projects in the creative arts studio. There's also a putting green, paths, gardens, and outside grill and gazebo areas to enjoy the outdoors. Wellness and fitness amenities include a gym, therapy spaces, and wheelchair-accessible showers. The community keeps things clean with daily housekeeping, weekly linen and laundry, and offers extra laundry services too.
Residents have scheduled transportation to the local stores, parks, and sometimes to New York City thanks to the nearby LIRR. Security features include 24-hour staff on site, surveillance throughout the property, and emergency call systems in each apartment. There's also a barber shop, salon, and beautician available for grooming right in the building. Social life gets a boost from organized activities, clubs, worship services, cultural events, and entertainment programs aimed at forming friendships and keeping people engaged. The Bristal at Westbury tries to make life comfortable through home-like lounges with fireplaces, sunrooms, and stylish decor, while offering both privacy and chances to socialize, depending on what each person wants or needs.
