Bristol House Memory Care is thoughtfully designed to support residents’ physical and mental well-being in an uplifting, home-like environment. The community’s layout centers around two distinct 24-room neighborhoods, each of which features a spacious courtyard that allows natural light to fill the living spaces. These neighborhoods provide both socialization opportunities and individualized care, while also shielding residents from large group interactions and potentially agitating activities. The design is rooted in the “Small House” model, which is widely recognized for fostering a sense of home and connectedness, ultimately promoting happiness and engagement among residents.
At Bristol House Memory Care, residents are encouraged to remain as active and independent as their abilities allow. The care team is available to provide assistance with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, toileting, and eating, tailoring their support to each resident's unique needs. Staff members are specially trained to care for those living with dementia and cognitive impairments, ensuring that each individual receives compassionate and knowledgeable assistance. Medication management is overseen by both a house doctor and a nursing director, and families have the flexibility to continue with their loved one’s personal physician or transition to the community's medical director, who visits weekly.
The community’s commitment to person-centered care is further reflected in its robust programming and attentive staff. Resident activities are coordinated by experienced professionals, such as Activities Director Jill Bonino and Activities Coordinator Lisa Atkins, both of whom bring decades of dedication to working with seniors and individuals with dementia. These team members ensure a diverse range of activities that help foster engagement, creativity, and social connection among residents. Bristol House Memory Care also incorporates salon and spa services within the community, enhancing quality of life and promoting a sense of well-being.
In addition to its comprehensive care and thoughtfully planned activities, Bristol House Memory Care is family owned by individuals with a background in the hospitality industry. This foundation informs their emphasis on creating a welcoming, person-centered environment where every resident feels genuinely cared for. The staff strives to understand and meet the unique desires and preferences of each resident, ensuring that daily life is uplifting, respectful, and engaging. Through its specialized design, experienced team, and commitment to individualized support, Bristol House Memory Care offers a safe, nurturing, and vibrant community for individuals living with dementia and related conditions.
