The Bristal understands the important role that staying socially active plays in keeping ourselves happy and engaged – we all feel better when we make time to have fun! Our team of lifestyle professionals are continuously seeking new and innovative ways to help residents stay active. From painting projects to themed dance parties, there is a program for everyone. Here are just a few of the ways we’re staying active:

The Bristal at Lake Success had the pleasure of hosting families for a "Pasta Making with Mom" event in celebration of Mother`s Day.
Residents and their families learned how to make fresh fettuccini pasta from scratch by rolling it out by hand or using a pasta press. Then, the pasta was cooked and dressed with our homemade marinara sauce from the dining team and everyone was able to enjoy their own pasta!
Everyone had such a wonderful time learning something new.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
Dozens of residents at The Bristal are former teachers and still have a passion to be in the classroom! At The Bristal at East Northport, the team created a program for former teachers and educators called the Grandfriends Reading Partnership. Together, they visit a local primary school to read with students and also be read to in return. It is always a special moment for residents and for students!
