My elderly sister moved to Vista On Fifth five months ago and the experience has greatly surpassed our hopes and expectations. There is no question that this place is truly a rare find. Living in the neighborhood I often visit my sister and have gotten to know many of the residents. So many have told me how much they love living there and now lucky they feel to be in such a kind friendly helpful atmosphere. I see for myself how upbeat the staff is and how much they seem to genuinely like and enjoy the residents. There''s lots of activity and opportunities to engage. My sister participates in daily exercise classes, board games, and art projects all facilitated by professional staff. She enjoys occasional trips , weekly live music programs, and Karaoke as an appreciative audience. But the most important thing is that she feels genuinely taken care of and liked, by both the staff and the friends she has made. Facing Central Park, the location is spectacular and the place is spotlessly clean. My sister has a spacious full studio apartment and she enjoys regular walks around the park, the lake snd Conservatory Gardens . The Park offers so much pleasure and is truly her backyard. What a gift! My sister feels so st home at Vista that given the option I doubt she would elect to move back with the family. Vista is truly her home now in the best sense of the word. We are grateful beyond words to the entire staff at Vista who work hard each fay to make this chapter of my sister's life a happy one.

From the moment I stepped foot in this assisted living facility, I knew it was the place for my mother. She has macular degeneration so I was the one to do the homework on places for her to stay. The rooms are generous with kitchenettes and many have views of Central Park. The staff is friendly and caring and she is even able to play bingo with the help of recreational assistants. Other activities she enjoys include physical therapy, musical entertainment, and her weekly appointment with the hair salon! I am happy that nurses and a Doctor are on site if anything should happen to her. If she needs help with anything, all she has to do is push a button around her neck and staff will come to assist her. Vista on 5th is a wonderful place for your loved one if they need an assisted living facility.

We had been trying to get our elderly father into Vista on 5th for a while to get him out of a rehabilitation care center which was long overdue. The transfer kept getting delayed because of lack of communication and support on the exiting end. At the time, Admissions at Vista seemed slightly disorganized but when we were finally able to get a tour, the premises were very nice and clean, with each resident having their own "studio,'" so to speak, with communal dining and activities. Since then, there's been a "changing of the guard" at Vista and the new staff in Admissions were instrumental and professional at facilitating our father's rapid transfer as soon as they took over. The staff, including his case managers and the monitors at the entrance, are all very helpful, communicative, and responsive to his needs; and more importantly, he seems very happy to be there, which quite frankly, is all that matters to us.

I'm so happy that my dad is living at Vista! What I like most is that he is happy living there. The staff creates a caring, warm and supportive environment in which my dad receives the help he needs and can also continue to do the things he loves. He is enjoying the many activities, the community of other residents, the beautiful common spaces and his nicely sized studio apt. I always look forward to visiting my dad there. I would highly recommend Vista to anyone who is looking for this type of facility. Just the views of Central Park from the dining room make it worth a visit :) My dad and I toured a few other facilities around NYC this year, Vista seemed far and away the best!

This place is just amazing. From its location, to the diversity of its residents, to the attentive medical staff and its clean facilities, we feel so lucky to have found Vista on 5th. Since my mother moved in, she couldn't be happier and is now getting the support she needs. The process of her intake was done in a patient, efficient and professional manner. The entire staff went above and beyond to introduce us to everything Vista has to offer. With everyone being so warm and welcoming it has given my mother and I a sense of calm and immense feelings of gratitude for all they do. With incredible views of Central Park and inspiring activities to keep my mother engaged she can continue living like the New Yorker she loves to be!
