Key Review Excerpts

My mother is on the Reflections Memory Care Floor. Jai is compassionate, thoughtful, efficient, and really cares about the residents. Even though Jai received a well-deserved promotion, she still takes the time to see my mother and provide me with updates.

Memory care family member · 2024★★★★★

My mother-in-law, currently 94, has been cared for at the Bristal North Hills for almost 5 years. During that time, her care has been consistently outstanding. Any assisted living community has positives and negatives. The Bristal truly has offered mostly positives—the food is high-quality, the facility is immaculate, and the staff seems to know the residents quite well.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

My mom has been a resident for two years and recently experienced a plumbing issue in her apartment. This was a very upsetting, extensive and complicated issue that took several days to resolve. Thanks to the maintenance staff (Eric & Domenick) and the outstanding housekeeping staff (Jessica,Leubrum )and Carol (director of housekeeping) for their tireless effort to fix, clean up and keep my mom comforted.
