What this means for your family
The Bristal at Sayville is an excellent choice for active seniors who will benefit from the robust social calendar and beautiful environment. However, if your loved one has complex medical needs, we recommend closely vetting the nursing response times and asking for specific examples of how they handle acute medical situations, as some families have expressed concerns in this area.

Key Review Excerpts
“The nursing and wellness staff were exceptionally attentive and compassionate toward her. The entire team—from the Executive Director, to sales, wellness, housekeeping, food service, etc. — is professional.”
“My elderly family member experienced a medical issue while living here and the level of care was not appropriate. Who makes a 92 year old feel like a burden? The health care worker at the Bristal does.”
“This facility is beautiful with a friendly staff however the food has gone from ok to horrible in the past six months. The residents have complained to management and they say they would bring their complaints to senior management but the food is getting worse.”
