Nassau County, Oyster Bay, New York State officials and community leaders attended the grand opening of The Bristal at Jericho located at 310 Jericho Turnpike. The Bristal at Jericho is the seventeenth community of The Bristal Assisted Living and the ninth in Nassau County.

“The Bristal has created an environment where our parents and grandparents can be cared for, where their dignity is protected, where their strengths are cultivated and encouraged, and where they are able to achieve perhaps, what they thought they no longer could,” said Jan Burman President of Engel Burman. “I am proud of the quality of life that we bring to each resident at The Bristal, and again, I am so pleased that we are able to offer our services to loving and devoted families across Long Island.”

The Bristal at Jericho has 144 assisted living apartments, and 36 additional suites that are located in the Reflections Memory Care neighborhood, which is dedicated to providing care for residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other memory related cognitive disorders.

Senior citizens have become the largest and fastest-growing segment of the U.S. population. The United States’ 65-and-over population has grown by over 15% in the last 15 years and now represents 13% of the U.S. population.

29% of Nassau and Suffolk residents are over age 55. Long Island has a higher share of adults over 55 than other suburban communities of New York.

“In 1999, The Engel Burman Group became involved in the Assisted Living industry, because we understood that our society was graying and that there would be a growing need for communities of this nature,” said Steven Krieger a Partner at Engel Burman. Over the last 20 years, The Bristal name has defined high quality assisted living and has become synonymous with providing the best care available for our loved ones who no longer choose to live on their own, or for those who need a little extra help.”

“We own and operate 17 communities of The Bristal, we also have five more that are currently in construction, and many others in various stages of development across New York & New Jersey,” stated Engel Burman Partner Scott Burman. “I’m proud of the fact that as we continue to grow and build properties in different locations across our region, and actively pursue expansion into new markets and regions, we are enabling more and more families to stay close to their loved ones allowing for residents to receive the compassionate care and attention they deserve. What The Bristal does is a success, because we are dedicated to meeting and exceeding the needs and expectations of both our residents and their families.”
