In honor of the 10th annual National Caregivers Day, The Bristal would like to thank professional and family caregivers for the hard work, dedicated service, and compassionate care they provide The Bristal Assisted Living communities.
We recognize the critical contributions you make every day and the vital role you play in positively impacting our communities and our healthcare system at large. In particular, we offer gratitude to the caregivers of Elegance at Home, a home-health agency located on Long Island which designs individualized care plans and works to pair clients with the caregivers that best fit their unique needs.
Several of our communities hosted special events, each choosing to honor caregivers in their own way.
The Bristal at Lake Grove
According to Lifestyle Director Elizabeth, "We had an amazing time celebrating National Caregiver Day with a fun Paint and Sip event! The atmosphere was filled with laughter, creativity, and lots of appreciation for the incredible family members who make such a difference. Everyone got to unwind, tap into their artistic side, and enjoy some delicious drinks. It was a wonderful way to show our gratitude for the hard work and dedication of caregivers while having an absolute blast together." The cardinal paintings they created together will be cherished by residents, family members, and team members alike.
The Bristal at North Woodmere
The Bristal at North Woodmere also chose to host a Paint and Sip event in celebration of National Caregivers Day, inviting family and friends to join in the fun of creating sunset scenes with hot air balloon silhouettes. Lifestyle Director Sofia described it this way, "The evening was filled with laughter and creativity as families came together to enjoy quality time. The chef prepared an amazing charcuterie board, offering a delightful spread, along with red and white wine to complement the experience. The painting class was lively and engaging, bringing smiles to everyone's faces as they created beautiful artwork. It was a memorable evening of connection creativity, and enjoyment for all who attended.

To celebrate National Caregivers Day, The Bristal at Bethpage had a special offering of raffle baskets and a 50/50, where 50% of the money raised went to a team member of the winner's choosing and 50% went to benefit The Spark Foundation, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation established to provide financial assistance to team members of The Bristal, 305 West End Assisted Living, Encore Luxury Living, and Ultimate Care Management. "We dedicated the day to thanking our wonderful families and team members who give their time and love to each of the residents," said Lifestyle Director Loredana.
The Bristal at East Northport got into the Paint and Sip swing, hosting the first of many happy hours with a creative spin, painting lovely nature scenes on glassware. Wellness team members were honored with long-stemmed chocolate rose to signify the community's long-standing appreciation for all the sweet things caregivers do for residents every day. Lifestyle Director Barbara said, "We share our appreciation for the dedication and compassion of professional and family caregivers who provide support and care to others."
