Review

The Rehab Center at Bristol, under the management of Traditions Senior Management, Inc. and operated by 301 Village Holdings, LLC., offers both memory care and long-term care services. The facility has been showcasing various engaging activities between staff and residents on their Facebook page, particularly for memory care patients. However, one reviewer with experience in the long-term care section advises against choosing the skilled nursing services at this facility for vulnerable patients.

Despite acknowledging some hiccups that can be expected in any facility, another reviewer mentions that The Rehab Center at Bristol has great people who take care of your loved ones. They acknowledge that no place is perfect, but overall they seem satisfied with the nursing staff, physicians, housekeeping, accommodations, and physical therapy provided during their recovery.

Another individual shares their positive experience when they had to place their father in this rehab center earlier this year amidst the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. They express their happiness with the sweet and readily available staff who answered all their questions. They particularly commend Laken for therapy sessions that helped their father regain mobility and Joanna, Brittany, and Rebecca for providing excellent medical care while uplifting his spirits as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA).

Similarly, someone else took their mother to The Rehab Center at Bristol for short-term rehabilitation. Although there were a few initial challenges which were eventually resolved through proper explanation of how things differ from a hospital setting, they were highly pleased with the nursing care provided by the facility. Additionally, they mention that the therapists were exceptional as well.

Multiple individuals comment on the beautiful design of the new facility and describe the staff as friendly. It appears that patient and family care is a priority at The Rehab Center at Bristol based on these reviews.

In conclusion, while one reviewer advises caution regarding skilled nursing services at The Rehab Center at Bristol for vulnerable patients seeking long-term care placement, others express satisfaction with various aspects of their experiences. Staff professionalism and helpfulness, as well as the facility's design and patient-centered focus, are mentioned positively by multiple reviewers.
