KindCare at Bristol provides both Assisted Living and specialized Memory Care, allowing residents to remain in one community even as needs change. The care team manages a full range of health conditions, including residents who wander during the day or night, those at risk for elopement, individuals who stay up all night, and people requiring wound care, oxygen therapy, or special diets. Diabetic management is available for residents on oral medications or insulin injections, and the community accepts people living with advanced dementia.
Round-the-clock clinical oversight is built into daily operations. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on-site 24 hours a day, and all staff undergo background checks. Caregivers remain awake on the night shift, while door alarms and a fenced rear courtyard help maintain security for residents prone to wandering or elopement. On-site services such as podiatry, audiology, dental care, and a dedicated therapy room reduce the need for outside appointments. Team members can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they support a range of transfers, from simple standby help to two-person assists for wheelchair users.
Apartments include practical features such as kitchenettes, individual temperature controls, cable service, and regular housekeeping, though it is important to confirm which units have which amenities. Residents may personalize their rooms with paint and décor, helping them feel at home while maintaining safety and accessibility.
The culinary staff offers both set menus and made-to-order selections, with snacks always on hand. Specialized diets are accommodated, including gluten-free meals, vegetarian options, thickened liquids, mechanical-chopped or pureed textures, and other physician-ordered modifications. A private dining room is available for family gatherings and special events.
The campus offers resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, outdoor smoking spaces, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, movie room, library, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, concierge assistance, special-interest clubs, and scheduled transportation in addition to proximity to public transit. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
