I want to thank the team at 5 Star for all you gave to my Mom these last 8 years. A beautiful and safe quality of life filled with care and kindness. We lost Mom at 95 yrs, going peacefully. Mom found a group of friends with most of the residents, she was known for being very social and friendly. Thank you to management for always being available to partner with families. Thank you to the dining room/kitchen staff- who nourished her with humor, respect and hot soup and hot tea. All the waitstaff were her favorites and all treated Mom with love. Thank you to the Concierge staff for always making me feel welcome and at home, especially when I brought my dog [name removed]. They responded to phone calls and requests no matter how big or small. Thank you to the housekeeping and maintenance staff, for keeping 5 Star run 24/7 day. Always clean and inviting. Thank you to residential life, for all the active, educational and fun activities. We thank you for everything, with gratitude!

A beautiful place with peace of mind for all involved.

have had a really good experience with them. so far everything is really good. They are very helpful and extremely professional. They will direct you to whatever you need. Power of attorney, guardianship. I like thus facility because your loved one does not have to go to hospice if that is necessary. There is no uprooting your loved one. They have drs and basically everything you need.

Five Star deserves more than Five Stars

They are very friendly and genuinely loving. I feel my parents are safe there and in good hands. My parents moved into Five Star earlier this year after searching through several places. I found the staff to be very welcoming, friendly and genuinely loving. I was really worried about my parents before they moved in but they are in very good hands now. I feel they are safe and I have a great relationship with the staff there as well as they help all of us navigate the realities of aging.

Five Star Premier Residences of Yonkers

When interviewing I spent a good amount of time just hanging around to get the vibe of the place. Staff were friendly and friendly with each other. Lots of laughter and positive energy. Most have worked there for many years (8-15). After Mom moved in that didn't change. The place was a little more money than I wanted to spend, but it's worth my peace of mind.

The head of maintenance is wonderful at his job. He is as well skilled and careful with his work and has pleasing manner as well. It would be wonderful for the tenant if he were given an apartment so he could be on site as needed. He agreed with the idea when I mentioned it.

FIVE STARS

We all know that bad news travels fast, but today, this is all good news. Six months ago, our family brought our next-door neighbor and dear friend, Uncle [name removed], to Five Star. It is infrequent that a name clearly describes precisely who you are. However, the name Five Star represents this complete service facility perfectly. When you walk in, you are immediately greeted by a friendly hello from the receptionist and a sense that you could eat off the floor. Daily, Uncle [name removed] has been the grateful recipient of Director Tennant's top-down philosophy, which is filled with warmth, friendliness, highly competent staff at all levels of care, and great food, all couched in this lovely appointed facility. I would also be remiss if I did not mention all the daily and diverse programming available. Anyone who joins the Five Star family will be delighted.

Not the right place for us

My husband was in this memory care unit for only 3 weeks. Despite assurances to the contrary, this Memory Care Unit was not equipped to work with a physically fit but challenging non docile 73 year old patient. The truly upsetting issue that I’m dealing with now is that despite demanding I remove him with no notice they are charging me for the balance of the month. They also lost valuable personal property of his and raised his level of care with no notice.

When I visited the site the staff was open and easy to reach. When I signed the contract it was more difficult to reach individuals. My family member was hospitalized after a fall. I received a call trying to come to the hospital to complete the process. I found that a little inconsiderate. I was able to get a portion of my money back but I had to make several contacts and be persistent . I have difficulty recommending this site.

Our family experience overall - a nice community but not for everyone.

We expected to have PT and OT to be available from the beginning of our loved ones stay but that was not accurate. The facility was very clean, and the nurses, PT and OT for the most part were very kind and helpful. We hear the dinners are cold and that it takes a long time for the meals to come out of the kitchen. There does not seem to be enough help in the dining room and the food was not always tasty. The fees for rent are expensive. They do offer a wide variety of activities. The facility is quite lovely, but I think it is best for a resident who is somewhat independent and care for themselves with minimal assist from staff.

Fiver Star of Yonkers Review

The communication between staff and family members is not very good when it comes to scheduling appointments with doctors ,shuttling residents, or scheduling any kind of service. Appointment times seem to get lost or forgotten in between staff members.

The overall cleanliness of the facility is as good as it gets; however, the floor nurses are not very good at cleaning my parents' room and I have had to call them in on a regular basis. For example, one day I came in and the bathroom stunk of urine. In terms of care, they should be ashamed of themselves. I hired personal aides that are with my parents 24/7. The floor nurses see this and don't lift a finger to help. I've also seen the way they treat other residents at mealtimes. They sort of shove a spoonful of food at them and generally have a pretty careless attitude. So what exactly am I paying for? As far as I can tell, a one bedroom apartment with food and activities included. For the money (being in NYC) I guess it's okay. Let me know if you'd like to chat. I realize that all facilities are sort of like this except for the very best like Sunrise around the corner from me, but that's $[removed]/month. I just didn't know how poor the overall care was in the general industry. They are for profit institutions and they understaff to make money. Anyway, that's my feedback.
