The Bristal Assisted Living at East Northport offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care. Residents who wander during the day or night, exhibit exit-seeking behaviors, or present with combative or other challenging behaviors can remain safely on site. Care teams manage elopement risks and provide oversight for residents who are up all night. Nursing staff can also manage wound care, oxygen therapy, and a range of diabetic needs, whether the resident requires oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. The community accepts residents with advanced dementia and accommodates special diets, including physician-ordered restrictions.

Around-the-clock licensed nurses are on site, and an additional nurse is on call 24/7. Every employee undergoes background checks, and an awake night shift patrols the campus. Door alarms, a fenced rear area, WanderGuard systems, pull cords, and PERS devices add layers of security. On-site medical professionals include podiatrists, audiologists, and therapists who use a dedicated therapy room. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby support to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for residents who are bed-bound.

Private and semi-private suites are available, and not every unit contains every feature. Some offer private bathrooms, kitchenettes, or independent temperature controls, and limited rooms can be repainted or decorated to suit personal tastes. Furnishings, basic cable, and housekeeping are included in all accommodations.

Daily meals are served restaurant-style with a choice between a set menu and made-to-order selections. Snacks are available throughout the day, and a private dining room is offered for family gatherings or celebrations. The kitchen staff can prepare gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid diets as needed, ensuring medical and personal nutrition requirements are met.

Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, communal gardens, and outdoor smoking areas. The community permits pets; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Additional amenities include a barber/beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, library, pool, concierge services, and on-site religious services. Scheduled transportation is provided, and the property is close to public transit options.
