Bristol Care, Inc.

My family member has been living in the home for awhile. Every time we go to visit the home is clean, my family member is happy and has nothing but good things to say about living there!

Our family member really enjoys living at the home. The staff have really made our mother feel at home.

Our family member loves the facility. The staff are helpful and our mother has made new friends.

We just moved our family member into the facility. The administrator was very sweet and the staff have been very helpful answering questions. They made the move easier on my family.

We just toured this facility last month and we really enjoyed the staff and how caring they were. The rooms are large and lots of light comes into the rooms. We believe we will be taking our family member to look at this facility.

Always a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are very sweet and caring. My family is very happy with the facility.

We are very pleased with how clean the facility is and how pleasant the administrator and day staff have been with my family member.

The administrator and staff are very friendly at the Chillicothe Ashbury.

As the daughter of one of the people that lives there, Ashbury Heights in Fayette has been a God-send. The personal attention and watch care given to the residents is more intensive than most homes of this level of care I've seen. This is no small thing when you consider all they are responsible for, even though it's a small home. My mom has lived here for about 5 months, having moved from her home of several years, and it's been a hard adjustment for her. By virtue of regulations there is a loss of self-direction, but she is trying to make it her own. She likes the food, and getting her manicures. :) Her family appreciates knowing she's safe and warm when bad weather hits, or when we're out of town. The people that work there have good insight when something is bothering her, encourage her to make her wants and wishes known and are great at communicating with family when needed. I am thankful for their service and assistance to mom.

My grandmother has been a resident at Ashbury for 3 years now. She loves it and considers it her home. [Names removed] are marvelous. So patient and sometimes even know what my grandma needs before she asks! When considering a place for her, we were also looking at a larger facility. I'm so glad we chose Ashbury and would not consider sending her anywhere else!

Bristol Manor is a great place to live. I have lived here 5months. The staff goes out of the way to please you. The meals are great, on time and hot. They help you with problems that you may have. They are courteous to your family and friends. The place is clean. My son's didn't want me to come to a place like this and I have improved so much. They don't have to worry about me. The administrator is very good at her job, she knows her job and does her job. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Why,because the administrator picks upon changes in her residents. That is a great thing, that's also a good nurse. It is a home not a room. We have entertainment, have movie night with popcorn and soda. Bingo music and school kids that comes in with entertainment. The residents are like a family. To me, this place is home,nice, clean,warm and friendly. I was a charge nurse in a nursing home for 25 years. I know and notice things from the staff and I am quite comfortable and happy.

I have lived at Bristol Manor for 13 months and have to say that it was been an up and down experience. I moved in with a great administrator. She Left and her replacement was terrible Then our manager we have now has turned everything around. I really love living here and plan to stay here as long as I can. [Name removed] great administer and [name removed] great helper. My room is always clean and my meals are hot my meds are all on time and right. I'm not one to play games. My family are so glad I am here and they have no worries. having moved in with agood a

I have been at the Bristol community now going on four months. This is my first experience with an assisted living facility. I could not be happier. The facility is very accommodating to my needs. I really enjoy the food and activities. It is super clean. Would recommend it to anyone. I even noticed that they have a 2 room suite for a couple and is pet friendly.

While touring properties with my mother, I am mostly considering this location to move her. The lady that runs it was very friendly, she took the time to answer our questions, and she really connected with my mom very well. She was willing to sit down with us and show my mother around the facility. It is a smaller facility which my mother liked. My mother is from a small town so it made her feel comfortable and it made her feel like she would get individual attention. The rooms that we saw were nice not too small that have their own private bathrooms and showers. They would have 12 rooms in one hall, 6 on one side and 6 on the other. Then they would have the central kitchen and dining area. We didn’t get a chance to eat the food but we noticed that they posted on a whiteboard what’s on the menu that day. It sounded good and it seems that they do that daily. We were also very impressed on their cleanliness. Everything looked new, from their kitchen to the private rooms. I wasn’t sure how often they do the laundry or take out the trash, but I didn’t see any trash bags overflowing or anything so it was a good sign. I would recommend this place to others. They also have some fun activities like BBQs in the summer and they play bingo with the residents. Since they don’t have on site church service the staff has worked with nearby churches who offer transportation for the residents who want to enjoy church. I thought that this was attractive because it would get the residents out and about.

Very pleased with Bristol Manor at Smithville, MO. The food is excellent and the people are very helpful and friendly. Small, homey atmosphere. Only downside is the parking lot not being cleared of ice and snow in the winter.

Transitioning to the new place at first was awkward. There was a quick turnover in management and it was confusing. However, the new administrator is wonderful. My mom quickly fell in love with her and is happy in her new home.

Finding a facility for our mother was a trying process as one would expect. We all want the best of the best, especially for our aging parents. Two years ago, I wouldn't have given Bristol Manor a second thought if someone had suggested it. Today, choosing to move our mother into this facility has been one of the best decisions yet. The way you feel as if you are walking into "home" when you go through the front door, gave me full confidence in leaving my mother here. The administrator is the main reason we chose to move Mom in. Her compassion and ability to make each and every resident feel heard, cared for, and safe while providing amazing assistance with ADL's and managing to keep the entire facility, residents rooms and all, clean and comfortable is something we will not find anywhere else. So, if you'd ask me today, there's no place I'd rather have my mother than Bristol Manor of Carrollton.

I love that it is a very small community more like a home. Each has their own private room and private bath. That's very hard to find.

We like that the manager is level headed and seems to be organized. We like the food overall, and my brother who lives there had dental surgery and they accommodated his need for soft food. Things for improvement. There seems to be an overall neglect of the property. Inside is very dated and dreary. The potholes in the driveway are just awful. The residents are not able to lock their doors. In a way I understand this but if management had a master key then it seems like it would be safer. For a while there were 2 residents who entered by brothers room without permission. There was little he could do.

I would recommend it. We picked the community because of the appearance of the facility and the location.
