Atria

Communication is something that could be improved on. If I reach out I do not always get an immediate response and I have to follow up a lot of the times. However I do feel like my loved one is in very good care and there are many positives about Atria Stamford.

I would recommend this community for your loved one. They have a lot of activities and there is always something going on for the residents. We sometimes have to talk to the staff to make sure that things are on the right page. [name removed] is an executive administrator and she is very resourceful and excellent with us.

It a larger community and it is nicer than some of the smaller communities, due to having more residents around. I would recommend the community to others. My loved one enjoys the variety of activities such as outings and exercise classes.

We've had a good experience. They're very open and flexible. We can visit our loved one every day. We were able to move him from one area of care to another. They've catered to all of our questions and concerns. They're able to do a better job caring for our loved one than my mom was able to do by herself. He eats the food and seems to enjoy it. The activities are great. This type of living is expensive, but I think they're pretty reasonable on the cost. And all along the way, they've been super patient and flexible with us.

Atria was one of our top runners. It looks like an older facility from the outside, but when you walk in it is all re-done and beautiful. The staff members were very accommodating with trying to find a room that would work for him and his needs. After interacting with the residents here we could see him fitting in well. The only reason we did not choose them was because they did not offer diabetic care.

This facility was very nice, we got a great feeling about it and everyone was friendly. We did not get a nursing home feel from them.

This is a very nice community. Your loved one will probably enjoy living here. The staff are friendly and are responsive to questions or concerns. Small bag lunch and cereal bowl due to COVID and the dinner is served in a dining room with a menu. The outside grounds are beautiful with acres of property.

Atria Oakridge has done an incredible job keeping their staff team and residents safe, anytime someone comes or goes they have to sign in/out and everyone's temperatures get taken. Our loved one seems to enjoy the food, the recently was a little transition that took place, but the food is getting much better. They do have a wide variety of activities for the residents to participate in. They have a bus service that takes them to the grocery store, their appointments, and out to lunch dates now that the restaurants have opened back up.

We chose Atria Cranford because it is super close to me, the value for the money is great. It is lower priced than most others I looked into, and it is a smaller facility so it is more personalized care. The day to day aids from dietary to housekeeping are very sweet and they do really care about the residents. The facility itself is a little older so not super modern. The room sizes are on the smaller side. They seem to have a lot of activities provided, we just have not had any experience because my mom does not participate. I would recommend to others looking.

If you're talking about a patient who has dementia, then having 24/7 care in an independent care unit is not nearly as good as the care they can receive in a memory care unit. In independent living, your loved one would be in an apartment in front of a TV all day. But in memory care at Atria, they get them up and moving, going on walks, keeping their minds occupied. My loved one seems fairly happy there so far. And it's much more cost effective as well.

We chose Atria Harborhill because she felt the most comfortable here. It is a beautiful facility and she has been happy with her experience so far. Her apartment is very nice size for what she needs. She does have a dog and the dog is not feeling at home yet, so she has not been able to take advantage of the dining room yet since she does not want to leave the dog. Overall I would recommend to others who are looking.

With any assisted living facility, you have to maintain communication. Atria Newport Plaza was good at communication, and good at responding. They were very friendly, and they did their best in the most difficult of situations. One thing that was a learning experience for me was realizing they have limitations on what they can and cannot do regarding medical care. For instance, they can't attend to any oxygen. But other than that, I would say it was a safe, lovely place for my loved one to spend her last days.

We chose Atria Golden Creek because of the convenient location, the value for the money, and the sales staff lady was great, she is my go to person. The rooms here are private rooms which is nice. I would recommend them to others looking.

Atria Bell Court Gardens was pretty good. The people were nice, it was clean, and the meal we tried was decent. Another place we ended up choosing just struck us the best. I liked the size of the apartments and the location there, and with the quality of the food they just knocked it out of the park. Atria was good, and there was nothing wrong with it, but we were just really wowed by that other place.

The community is friendly and it is a good value for the money. My loved one enjoys being here. The community doesn't always have the softest food to eat, and this can make it difficult for my loved one to eat.

We went with this facility because of the price as well as the location. We do live out of town, but I have seen that they have a beautiful courtyard in the pictures online, they have places where they can BBQ for things like the 4th of July. She does not need a lot of care but the staff do come and get her to take her to the meals and the activities. She really enjoys the meals here, they are chef prepared. [name removed] was extremely helpful to get the ball rolling for us. I would recommend to others who are looking.

The people and staff members there sold us on our decisions. Every single person we have dealt with has been kind, caring, considerate and respectful. They treat our loved one like a queen and they are constantly in communication with us. Always been transparent during the pandemic, there communication is fantastic. The food there is good, its not gourmet but its not horrible, and they have a boat load of activities. They do a lot of roving stuff, they have happy hours, and holiday parties. Our loved one is always kept busy and they just increased the capacity to eat in the dining room. For the experience we have had, the value is definitely worth it.

We toured Atria about 4 years ago. It was a very beautiful facility and the tour was great, the director is the one who showed us around. I do remember it being expensive but I would definitely recommend that others go and check it out.

The staff is very friendly and very helpful. My loved one had some issues when she moved in, and they were very patient with her. It's expensive, but compared to other services, it's comparable if not a little less. There is a peace of mind in knowing that my family member is taken care of and there's someone there to help her if I can't be there. One thing I wish they would do better is transportation. Even under Covid, they're supposed to give transportation to doctor appointments within a certain radius. But their time restrictions are so tight that it ends up you can never use them. They'll only provide transportation on Tuesdays and Thursdays, between 9:30 - 3:00. And with Covid, you don't get a lot of choices on when your doctor appointments are going to be. I've not been able to go inside much to visit, but from what I'm seeing in the lobby it looks clean. The hallways by the rooms could be a little cleaner. Activities have been restricted due to Covid, but things are opening up more and getting better, which is great. I think that they're trying to do as much as they can with the restrictions the county has given them.
