The Bristol at Garden City was an incredible experience for my dad when he came to stay with me in NY. Tiffany and Rachel made the whole process smooth and easy, the staff was friendly and kind, the grounds are fantastic and offer a variety of events and activities that my dad really enjoyed. I hope my dad gets to find back and stay even longer next time! Very grateful, can’t say enough good things about this place and my dad’s time there. Thank you!

Don't do it, don't even consider it. My mother, in 6 months of Memory Care, contracted covid x 1, influenza (requiring hospital) x 1, culminating in a broken hip due to a fall. I am bitter, sure am!! At 10k per month anyone should expect much,much better; nevermind the pain and suffering to my mother at age 94. This place has some genuinely good people but the corporate system not so. There is something rotten there under the surface, do your due diligence.
Madeline Rocco
I have a relative at this location. This place is like a prison. They do nothing for those in memory care. The people are overmedicated and sit around like zombies while getting ignored. The administration ignores the needs of its residents by gaslighting them. Any response by the Bristal employees themselves is a lie. Save yourselves the time.
