Bristol Manor Of Washington

Bristol Manor Of Washington sits at 100 W. 12th St. in Washington, MO, with a small, home-like feeling because there's room for no more than 12 residents, and that helps everyone to know one another pretty well and lets staff have more time for each person, so you get a bit more attention than you might in a bigger place, what with staff being around 24/7, ready to help with things like bathing, dressing, medication, diabetes management, transferring, and making sure you're safe since they've got emergency alert systems in every private room and private bath, which means folks have comfort and a bit of privacy, all in a space that doesn't feel like an institution, more like a big shared home where common areas, indoor spaces, and outdoor gardens give folks places to sit and visit or maybe watch a movie or play cards, and the kitchen turns out three hot, home-cooked meals every day served in a family-style dining room, plus snacks, and they're pretty good about special diets, so if someone needs food with less sugar or has allergies, the meal planners and cooks figure it out, and on top of that, they've got laundry and housekeeping to keep things tidy and worry-free, and the staff help with chores so you can focus on things like music, games, church, or the activities they line up on the schedule, offering choices and listening to what residents suggest for meals and pastimes, making for a place that's lively but not overwhelming, with transportation and parking for those who need it, and options like off-site trips if you want to get out for a bit, so you don't feel stuck at home, plus there's respite care, adult day watch, hospice, memory care, Alzheimer's services, and skilled nursing if someone needs more help than before or just wants to stay somewhere familiar, and with over 30 years in the business since 1990, Bristol Manor keeps the same friendly approach, trying to help folks stay as independent as possible, staying active and social, connected to places like St. Joe State Park and other neighborhood spots for those who enjoy getting out, and with financial assistance for folks who need it, so there's a way to get support without a lot of stress, making it a good fit for people looking for a simple, peaceful place to live where care is steady and respectful and the days have structure but never feel rushed.
