The process to move into assisted living is daunting. My Mom and I visited several facilities and knew the most relevant questions we wanted answered. Amanda was willing to let us get our questions answered first before going into the other areas she needed to cover. She gave us a tour and was extremely patient as it took my Mom quite long to get through the facility. The paperwork can be quite daunting but Amanda was amazing in prioritizing what needed to be done every step of the way. She and her team followed up many times with doctors to get the required forms. Move in day was very nice as my Mom met so many nice employees of Bristol. The facility is beautiful and well maintained and feel confident my Mom will be happy here.
