Exceptional Assisted Living in Englewood, NJ
Anthony Elia are new lifestyle director arrived in September, a bright new light began for the Bristal in Englewood for us. His daily programs keep me busy all day long, now I am very busy, I don’t even have time for my family! Every special occasion I can think of is covered by a special event; New Year’s Eve, Mardi gras, wedding renewal, and even a tv golden bachelorette event! We are enriched by visits from Clinique, lectures, talented musicians, as well as trips to paper mill playhouse, museums, restaurants, and so much more! AND As a bonus, Anthony has a bright upbeat always smiling personality! What did we do to deserve him! Thank you Anthony!!
My review is a little lengthy, but it is important for me to share my full opinion with others who might be looking for an assisted living community for themselves or a loved one. After looking at several places, my father moved into The Bristal at Englewood a year and a half ago. The Bristal offered everything we were looking for for him: a safe and comfortable room, a staff full of trained professionals, dining services, laundry services, cleaning services, scheduled transportation services, a wellness center, entertainment, 24 hour security, the list goes on and on. Understandably, it was a bit of a rough transition for him at first but the staff at The Bristal did everything they could to help make that transition as easy as possible. My father is so happy there now! He recently had to leave for a couple of weeks due to a medical episode (not related to anything having to do with The Bristal), and he was asking me every single day when he was going to get to go back there – he missed his room, his activities, the staff, and his friends there. To go from being uncomfortable at a place, to literally asking to go back there says so much about the environment and treatment he receives at The Bristal. The wellness team has been on top of his care, and they are wonderful with communicating with me; the lifestyle team makes sure that there is something to offer that every resident has interest in and gets involved with; dining services offers choices that my father enjoys, he often expresses to me how great the soup in particular is (he loves soup!); the maintenance team and the housekeeping team do an excellent job of helping my father out, and with keeping the facilities immaculate; and the people who work at the front desk are always pleasant, helpful, and kind. It gives me peace of mind to know that my father is in such a safe, caring environment and that he has support there whenever he needs it. I whole heartedly recommend The Bristal at Englewood for anyone looking to transition in to an assisted living community!
Update, March 2025: My father was moved to Reflections (memory care) two months ago. I have been very happy with the care and attention he is receiving there. The director (Denus), the concierge, the CNA’s have all been patient, helpful, and kind in regards to getting my father adjusted to his new surroundings. The director of activities, Anthony Elia, does such a wonderful job with the programming for the residents in the Reflections community – he really is a blessing to those who live there.
I can’t say enough about the level of care provided to my parents by The Bristal at Englewood. The staff is professional, knowledgable and kind — and have provided excellent, individualized care to both parents. The Wellness department is fantastic, both in everyday and extreme situations. Additionally, the activities at the Bristal are varied and consistently updated to encourage participation.
My husband Josef is at the Bristal at Englewood for a year now and it has been an outstanding place for both him and his visiting wife and family. The care he receives is above and beyond. I thank everyone for caring about their work. I would like to make a special mention of Anthony that has worked diligently on the new programming at Reflections and has given the residents new activities that they enjoy immensely and participate in. Most importantly, both Anthony and the residents have big smiles while participating and Anthony gets them all moving with his charm and know-how. It is a delight to see an activities director who loves what he does and it rubs off on the residents. Thank you Anthony for bringing us all to life! You are a true miracle worker. With much gratitude – Linny Kastner
