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 recreation professionals are continuously seeking new and innovative way to help residents stay active – especially given the current environment. From delivering the supplies for painting projects to themed dance parties (socially distanced, of course), there is an activity for everyone. When there’s a will, there’s a way, and we are certainly finding that way! Here are just a few of the ways we’re staying active:
The Bristal at Woodcliff Lake hosted a wonderful dinner on the Bistro Patio with a special 3 course menu designed by Chef Gary! Residents loved the food and enjoyed the relaxing night under the stars.
