Review for Briston Manor West

I chose them because it was, closer to daughter. Cost, location. Like any new place it has it‘s good and not so good. Close to many stores and great food. Important is doctors and hospitals are almost next door but woods surround the cottages. Keep notes on all properties, dates, everyone you talk to. Work on your budget.

Briston manor

Peaceful surroundings. Bus transportation to appointments if needed. Emergency cords in apt in case of crisis. Activities such as bingo, get togethers for coffee and donuts one day and pizza on another. Close to shopping, restaurants, groceries. Close access to main highways. Overall a good place with reasonable prices

Positive experience, highly recommend

First the staff is wonderful. They truly care about the residents. It is kept clean and maintenance is prompt. They offer weekly activities and so far each holiday there was a gathering; Halloween party, Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas party with a Yankee swap, valentines party, etc. There is a dining hall which is where the events are held. Overall a very positive experience

A great place to live independently

This is a 55+ independent community with some activities and transportation provided. 1-2 bedroom Apartments either inside the main building or 1 or 2 bedroom cottage. Very friendly neighbors. A great place to live independently.

Review for Briston Manor West

We picked this community because, we reside in Amherst so proximity was ideal. Cost was also desirable compared to many.

A nice quiet community,

Really like the cottage living, and the surrounding areas for taking walks, the closeness of the shopping food and retail stores, the quietness of the area. The activities are limited (bingo, coffee & pizza socials) on certain days they do bring outside organizations for entertainment, also they do have a bus for trips.

Working on improving

The facility is definitely an older place but they seem to be working at updating it. They just added more parking spots and all new windows to every unit. They are very hands off. I wish someone would check in with my parents more and give me updates if there are any concerns.

Bristen West

Nice campus, free from traffic noise, nice and helpful bus driver to take you shopping and to appts. I'd recommend it. I picked this community, because it had one floor, EZ access. Moved because of noisy upstairs neighbors.

Peace of Mind

I would recommend Briston Manor West to others for their loved ones. This is a great place for someone that is still independent, yet still gives family a sense of security and safety for their loved one. The staff communication with the family is great. They are quick to respond to the requests. Carol is a doll to work with. There is limited transpiration available for the residents to utilize for appointments and shopping.

My Mom Is Happy At

It is a great place to consider, it is inexpensive. Their is no meal plan as this is a Independent living community. The community has dance party, take them to restaurants, and sign up sheets for different activities.

Highly recommend

The only thing that did not work out as we hoped is the internet, it is normally included in the rent but because of where his room is located, he has to pay extra for it. Other than that everything else has worked out great. The staff is super friendly and easy to work with. He has had a couple of small things that have come up and the staff have addressed them immediately. I would highly recommend Briston Manor West to others.

Our Tour Experience

We weren't very impressed with Briston Manor West. It was a very old facility, and not modern like we were looking for.

Good experience - I was impressed by how well it's run.

I love Briston Manor West. They've been great. Monday through Friday they have a bus that will take you to CVS, the grocery store, doctor appointments, the pharmacy, the bank. And they even carry in the bags for you. It's a non-smoking place throughout the whole community. They have social events in the dining room. On Mondays the have bingo, Tuesdays they have popsicles, other days they have coffee socials, ice cream socials, wine and cheese tastings, and dessert socials. Even though it's over- 55 apartments, they still have little social events, and they're very good. I'm impressed. My loved one has made so many friends. She's able to sit outside and visit with people. Before, she was stuck in a bedroom in our house, and I love this for her. The people are so nice. If you have any little problem, just go to the manager and she'll fix it. The bus driver is great and helps out where he can as well. My loved one had a minor maintenance issue, and he came in right away to help. There's a restaurant on site, and they use an honor system. You just let them know to add on to your rent any meal you take. I've felt like she's been safe there the whole time during Covid. Her apartment is great. She has a kitchen and a living room, and we were quite impressed by the bathroom. There's a walk-in shower, which is so much easier for her, and a high rise toilet. She has a bedroom with a walk-in closet. There's a pantry, a closet when you come in the door for boots and things, and a linen closet. There's just a lot of space. Heat and water is included. She just has to pay electric and cable. I was so glad she got in here. It's nice, and it's been the best place for her.

It is defiantly a place to look at depending on the amenities and activities you are looking for. The staff is super to work with. They are very responsive, I've not had to wait more than an hour for a return call.

Check this place out

We went with Briston Manor West because we felt that there was a sense of a community because of the way the units are set up, residents do not feel alone. The apartment sizes were good, not too big not too small. My mother in law did say most of the food here was good. Overall, we have had a good experience I would recommend.

My dad really liked the community and apartment we looked at. This was our first tour and would like to find something closer to Boston.
