Yorktown Assisted Living Residence

Two years ago we found ourselves in a position of needing to move our parents as many others have. The decision wasn’t easy, Moms health wasn’t good and she was the primary caretaker with Dad relying heavily on her. The week the move was taking place mom had her second stroke leaving Dad to find his own way. He moved there awaiting our mother to join him which sadly never happened, she passed six weeks later. Yorktown Assited Living took our father under their comforting wing doing their utmost to welcome him, offer support and assistance and acclimate him in his new home. When our mother passed away their support of Dad was also extended to us, it was truly heartfelt and welcome. Today, a bit over two years later, Dad feels safe and supported by all the staff. They keep us informed of his progress and are on top of any concerns. Of all the assisted living facilities we reviewed we found Yorktown Assisted Living to be the better choice and have not regretted it once.

Our mom has been living at YALR for just about one year and we are thrilled with the services and community she now calls home. Her apartment is spacious, bright and always clean. She has the independence of living alone, along with staff who are caring, thorough and friendly and take care of all of mom's needs. We are thankful that there are nursing staff in the building and like the Dr. who monitors the residents. YALR has activities for everyone and a great car service that takes people to doc appointments, shopping and out to eat. The food is good and the lobby lovely and inviting. We were very lucky when there was a spot open for mom. She has made friends, has friends come visit and is lucky to be close to our family. Thank you YALR.

This facility is very dated with old dark furniture, not a lot of day light in the common areas and just not an appealing first impression. There was nothing uplifting about the tour from seeing a person's room who was no longer there, but their personal items still were with an unmade bed, dated furniture, clothes etc. I would have rather not seen a room at that time. No staff members smiled or were interacting with anyone living there. It was a very depressing atomsphere. I could not picture my loved one there at all.

My mother has dementia and is in the memory unit. My father is legally blind and lives on the assisted living side of the facility. An excellent choice if you have parents with different needs. Management and nurses are very accommodating so my parents can spend time with each other. The management and nurses are very kind and sensitive to our concerns. The aids vary. Some very good, others not so good. The facility is very homey and the atmosphere is friendly. The memory unit is most spacious memory unit I have seen and has a very sizable outdoor space. Management of medical needs is excellent. Food is very good. Music program is very good. Aids could engage the dementia patients more. My parents are happy and everyone in our family is glad we selected YAL. I highly recommend YAL.

We highly recommend Yorktown Assisted Living Residence. They have been wonderful for our family as our Mom needed to transition from independent living. Initially, Mom needed to move to Assisted Living. Throughout that process the team at YALR was extremely supportive and helped guide us through the process. Unfortunately shortly after Mom moved into Assisted Living she needed to be moved to Memory Care. Once again everyone at YALR did everything they could to help us through the process. Today Mom lives in the Memory Care unit and is kept active, well fed, entertained and extremely well cared for. Everyday the team at YALR helps Mom get dressed, takes care of her personal needs, makes sure she is happy and comfortable...and even makes her bed. In addition to the wonderful staff, the facility itself is wonderful too. It is modern, spacious, clean and well appointed. As tough as it is to know that our Mom needs an environment like this, we can't think of a better place for her to be.

It was a very heartbreaking and difficult decision to make. From the tour and the staff helping me with the paperwork, to the setting up of his room, the compassion and expertise of Yorktown Assisted Living is noteworthy. The memory care unit is visually attractive. I especially like the 2 courtyards and fireplace area. Everything is always clean and never messy. The staff is very attentive and caring. They have activities throughout the day. My friends and family that have visited him tell me how impressed they are with Yorktown Assisted Living. Especially the kindness and professionalism of the staff. It is a great comfort to me to know I made the right choice placing my husband in their care.

I moved my parents into Yorktown in [date removed], after a long search in the tri-state area. We needed a safe and secure environment that provided lots of caring and support for my two wonderful parents. My dad is a retired physician and my mom an artist. Both very outgoing, fun and intellectual. We wanted an environment where they would thrive. Yorktown fit the bill! The staff has been very accommodating working with me on billing, their apartment and all the little things that goes into living comfortably. They have gone above and beyond to help my parents feel at home and provide all the required necessities with a smile! Their room is so wonderful; clean, bright, airy with lots of windows. Freshly painted, new carpets and a lovely kitchenette is just right for their needs. The have made new friends, really enjoy the food and activities. I highly recommend Yorktown Assisted Living!

Yorktown Assisted Living is special -- the staff is very loving and caring and offers a licensed nurse 24/7. In addition, residents enjoy medication supervision and physical therapy, . The apartments are luxurious and include kitchinettes, laundry and housekeeping services. The chef-prepared meals are restaurant quality. Activities are too numerous to mention and include bingo, Wii sports, gardening, arts and crafts, music, lectures, movies and documentaries.

I am beyond grateful for the warm welcome and smooth transition for my mom, into Yorktown Assisted Living Residence. The director and staff helped mom feel right at home and were able to assist with her medical needs. My mom is a very new resident and has made several friends already. She loves her new friends and has already participated in activities. I cannot express in words how grateful I/we are that she is happy and in good hands. It couldn’t be a better fit !!!

My father has been a resident at Yorktown since last summer. We have been so pleased with his experience — the staff and residents are warm and engaging, and the community keeps a full calendar of events and activities that are tailored to the residents' interests. My dad suffers from a number of health issues, and the communication and responsiveness of Yorktown's nursing staff have give our family so much peace of mind that he is being attentively cared for while still retaining independence.

To those thinking of joining the Yorktown assisted living I must say please do! The atmosphere has a real mom and pop feel with all members of the staff caring in everything they do!! Any concerns are promptly answered along with activities daily. Mom has been there two years now and has good days and bad but most of all she enjoys being as busy as she pleases or just relaxing watching a movie.. It truly gives me peace of mind knowing her medications are given correctly daily and she’s happy!!

My father has been at YAL assisted living facility for almost [date removed]. The worry of this transition from his home to a "facility" and all that that implies has proven to be unwarranted. He has found a new home. He lives with and has become friends with others who are in a similar life stage. He is well cared for and has great affection for the friendly and professional staff. The place is clean and has a homey atmosphere. He has as much independence as he can handle and relies on the services of the staff for what he cannot do for himself. It is a good balance. He particularly enjoys the many musicians who come to provide entertainment - he puts on his dancing shoes! I am and I know he is pleased and grateful for YSL. [name removed]

Anyone who has a loved one with dementia knows how difficult it is to make decisions for them that they don’t understand. Add in Covid, and the wall it put up, made our loved ones feel isolated but I know in a way was worse for us. We all wonder how they are doing. Are they smiling, laughing, angry or just tired. I know I do. I moved my mom to Yorktown Assisted Living Residence beginning of 2020. The transition was unlike any I had ever experienced (and mom and I have been through a few). They were professional and understanding of her needs AND my needs. Covid raised the bar and they kept on raising their response. Open lines of communication, zoom calls... whatever it took to make all of us comfortable. I was always able able to get in touch with the staff just to know see was ok. I look forward to this post-Covid world where I can sit in the beautiful outside garden with my mom and thank all the staff for what they did for both of us. Jim

Yorktown Assisted Living Residence has been a wonderful place for my mother. The staff is very helpful and respond immediately to questions and requests. They are attentive and friendly. There are many activities held throughout the day to keep her entertained and social. I was initially worried about how she would adjust to her "new home" but she adjusted immediately! A warm, cozy home-like atmosphere that is continuously kept very clean. She enjoys the food as well!

In August of last year, my brother and I had the difficult task of finding placement for our parents. Mom and Dad needed more help daily. The entire staff and overall facility helped us through this heartbreaking task with nothing but respect and kindness. Unfortunately Mom passed away and was unable to move to this ALF, but we did take her to see it before she passed away, and she loved it! She picked out the colors for the suite, and loved the woodwork in the lobby. I cannot say enough positive things about everyone who works at this facility and am thankful for them daily.

We chose Yorktown because my mom felt most comfortable with the atmosphere. It seemed to be in better condition than some of the other places that we looked into and she appreciated that. The rooms and bathrooms were more updated. The medical staff is very attentive to the residents. The only downside is there are some restrictions for the residents in regard to giving any sort of gifts to the caregivers. Overall it has been a good experience and I would absolutely recommend them.

The community does a good job with communication and its a priority. They are open to feedback and will listen and implement new ideas. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.

The people here were great and answered all of my questions that I had. It is an older building, the reason my loved one decided against this facility was the further location.
