We’re proud to announce that The Bristal Assisted Living has been named the winner in the Assisted Living Facility Beauty, Health, & Wellness Category in the 2026 Long Island Choice Awards!
This is the second year in a row that The Bristal has earned distinction at the Long Island Choice Awards, winning 55+ Community House and Home Services Category in 2025.
This honor, presented by Herald Community Media, reflects the votes of more than 450,000 Long Islanders and celebrates excellence in service, care, and community impact.
According to Stuart Richner, CEO of Richner Communications and Publisher of Herald Community Media, “There’s something special about walking into a local shop where they know your name or discovering a neighborhood gem that becomes your new favorite. These local businesses… [are] the heartbeat of our comm
unities, creating distinct identities for each town, village, and hamlet across Nassau and Suffolk counties. They deserve our recognition, patronage, and applause.”
Winners were recognized at a vibrant gala held on May 19th at the Crest Hollow Country Club, where 700 guests gathered to applaud nearly 800 outstanding local businesses and organizations.
For more than 25 years, The Bristal Collection has transformed uncertainty into unwavering assurance, creating sophisticated spaces where care and comfort naturally intertwine. We are honored to receive such meaningful recognition from the greater Long Island community.
We are deeply grateful to our residents, families, and dedicated team members who make The Bristal communities such special places to live and work. Thank you for your continued trust!
