Inspection Report Summary for The Bristal at West Babylon
The facility underwent four inspections between August 1, 2021 and July 31, 2025, resulting in a total of three violations and two inspections with no violations. All violations were identified during either relicensure or complaint surveys, and none were disputed through the Inspection Review Process.
The most significant inspection was the relicensure survey reported on April 30, 2025, which documented two violations. The deficiencies were cited under Regulation 488.7 (d) (3) for resident services and Regulation 488.11 (e) (9) for environmental standards. These categories indicate shortcomings in the care and support provided to residents as well as in the facility’s environmental compliance.
A single violation was recorded on July 13, 2022, under Regulation 488.7 (d) (4) for resident services. In contrast, the complaint surveys issued on October 16, 2024 and April 4, 2024 reported no violations, reflecting a pattern of compliance in those inspections.
No enforcement actions were taken against the operator during the reporting period, and no Stipulation & Order numbers or dates are available. The record therefore shows a mix of compliance and isolated deficiencies, with the April 30, 2025 survey representing the highest concentration of violations.

Ken E
So, our Mom is at The Bristal in West Babylon, she's been there going on 5 years or so. First things first, DO NOT bring your parents to The Bristal, they will woo you with all the bells and whistles to get you in there. Once you're in, they sink their teeth so far into you that you can hardly breath. For $150k a year, keep your parents in their home, hire two aids and save your Mom/Dad some money and yourself the heartache of knowing The Bristal doesn't treat your family like their family. My Mom is not happy there, but she is a positive Polly, so every day she puts on her happy face and goes about her business.Second, hope to God that there is not a staff change for the nurse that is doling out the medications. Because the stand ins have NO idea what they are doing or who gets what medicine. You would think that a place like The Bristal would have a chart on every single resident (dietary needs, medications, habits, preferences, etc...) so that when a new or substitute hire comes in, they can continue the flow that the residents are used to without causing disruption to the residents' routine. Let me also say, that if they do in fact have charts like these, they should teach the aids how to read them. Then of course there is the pricing! It is absolutely OUT OF CONTROL and there is no negotiating with these people. If your parent walks in there on their own and happens to slip or fall, forget it. You'd better mortgage your home so that you can pay for the "service care increase" they are going to drop on you.On top of that, they just sent out increase notices that take effect in January 2025. It's about a $40 a day increase depending on your parents' service needs. Not bad right?! Well, you have to multiply that by 30 days and then by 12 months. So, basically, you're paying an additional $29,000 a day for them to do and in some cases to not do the same thing. The food isn't going to get better, the aides aren't going to be more compassionateWhat do you like most about living here?
