What families are saying

We’ve gathered and summarized real family reviews from across the internet for you. Contact a Seniorly representative for details.
Reviews of The Bristal at Waldwick are overwhelmingly positive, particularly regarding staff kindness, professionalism, cleanliness, activities, and the welcoming atmosphere. Families frequently praise employees including Maryelen, Trish, Lisa, Adele, Debora Fishman, Karonley Jimenez, Helene, and members of the housekeeping, maintenance, and activities teams. Reviewers describe the community as beautiful, modern, safe, and comparable to a five-star hotel, with good food, attractive accommodations, responsive communication, and numerous programs such as movies, music, bingo, exercise, crafts, card games, religious services, and outings. Many families say their loved ones became happier, more social, and more independent after moving in. Residents reportedly developed meaningful friendships, while families appreciated the caring support during difficult transitions, including placement, Medicaid changes, and end-of-life care. Several professional reviewers, including a geriatric care manager, strongly recommend the community. However, a minority of reviews raise serious concerns. These include an alleged rat infestation, dissatisfaction with the memory-care program, and claims of inadequate care. One reviewer rated assisted living favorably but described memory care as unacceptable. Other complaints involve staff and administrator turnover, poor communication, unclear medication policies, unexpected costs, and difficulty managing residents’ changing needs. Some reviewers reported falls, isolation requirements, and strict visitation restrictions during COVID-19, although older reviews also commend the facility’s pandemic precautions and communication. Overall, the consensus is that Waldwick offers a clean, attractive community with compassionate staff and strong activities, but experiences may vary significantly by department, particularly memory care. Prospective families should carefully investigate staffing stability, care levels, pricing, communication procedures, and current health and safety conditions before making a decision.
