The Bristal Assisted Living opened its first community back in 2000. Over 20 years later, our family of communities continues to grow, and now includes a location in Somerset, New Jersey. Though our name may be new to the Somerset area, The Bristal has been there for seniors and their families for many, many years.

All communities are overseen by a seasoned management team who ensure consistency – upholding our standards of excellence and quality of care. The Bristal at Somerset offers pet-friendly independent living, assisted living, and the finest in memory care in our Reflections neighborhood. We can’t wait to welcome you home!
