Atria

Atria Forest community is very well kept, its clean, attractive looking and very nice. They offer a lot of activities some are exercise classes, bingo, care games and different themed parties. The only complaint our loved one and the other residents have had is the quality of the food, it could be better we would give it a three out of five. The rooms at this community are very nice.

I have lived in this community for almost five years. We have had ups as well as downs. It is a lovely facility and in a great location. My life here has been full and comfortable. Management has come and gone, however, we now have a new Executive Director that I believe is a perfect fit for our community. The residents are hopeful for our weak spots to be corrected with his leadership and his positive approach. With positive thoughts and a cheerful attitude we can be the No.1 community in this city. I urge our residents to enjoy the benefits and embrace life in our lovely facility. May we all be encouragement to our new director as he continues to raise the bar.

My loved one likes the community, since COVID it has caused problems with perception with my loved one. The other issue my loved one has with the community is that they are veterinarian with not many selections available. The community has been able to keep a safe environment, since they have not had any cases of COVID. We were able to take my loved one out of the community, to a park to socialize. My loved one was very outgoing to be friendly to the residents. There are some residents that have been friendly back. I would a few friends in the community.

Overall, I think Atria Park of St. Josephs is a nice place. They seemed to be very cautious with the corona-virus. The one complaint I have would be the food, it is not very good. They do not put any seasoning on it so it is bland. I have been happy with the staff members here. One thing I have noticed is that they have always been good with me. They have a maintenance person who goes into the rooms who will help you with things that you need. I have had better luck getting in touch with them via email rather than when I call. Overall, I would recommend the community.

Staff, Management, and aides provide a clean, friendly and hospitable atmosphere. Responsiveness and a genuine sense of client service abound. Locale provides ample opportunity for a variety of splendid visages and all suggestions, comments and, yes, complaints (after all we are seniors) are addressed promptly. A facility which treats with dignity and respect.

As an 80 something widower wallowing in grief and sorrow, having lost my wife of 57 years a few months before, I was caught in a typhoon of loneliness and self pity. My daughter, a Philadelphian suggested Atria. Having the usual images of an “old folks home”; I nonetheless agreed to a tour and admission conference. Almost at once I picked up on the positive vibes of the talented staff, and subsequent to moving in, my fears were fully allayed, Staff, food, services, cleanliness and entertainment factors border on excellence. Literally, every caregiver and aide, staff and associates are personable and gracious in all respects. I give them a 9.9 (must retain my rating for the one and only Bo Derek),

We chose Atria North Point because it was a good fit for my dad. It was in between on price and it had some flexibility on packages. He was provided 2 meals a day, but you had flexibility if you wanted more meals a day. The food here was good, they were provided choices off of a menu if you did not want what they were serving. The facility is more modern looking and is in a good location. I would recommend the community.

I would invite my friends to come to this community. The food is lousy right now, before COVID the food was wonderful. They are delivering meals to our rooms instead of us using the dining room. The activities currently include: walking, horse racing, and bingo. There were prior activities all the time.

My loved one has felt very well cared for. When she was sick, the nurse would check in on her regularly, and sit with her while she was in pain after dry socket from a tooth extraction. They are over the top with Covid, so I haven’t been in the facility in a while, which is good and bad. Good for safety, but I no longer have a relationship with her caregivers which I miss. And with Covid my loved on hasn’t gotten the exercise she needs because of quarantining, which I also understand.

The community tries very hard to do everything they can for the residents. The food hasn't been great for my loved one and the menu isn't varied enough. The dining doesn't have bananas and yogurt at this time. The room is very comfortable for my loved one. The community is allowing virtual visits. The in-person visits is in the back of the community and it is separated by a glass door. This area is very noisy.

I am a family member of an independent living resident. My parent has been a resident for 2+ years. I find the staff very helpful and courteous and all of the common areas very clean and comfortably furnished. My parent does not use care services, other than the included housekeeping and meals, nor does he participate in activities. The latter is by his own choice; he is not a joiner. He does, however, enjoy having friends his own age to talk to and with whom he can enjoy meals. While the months of quarantine have been trying, the staff is doing a good job of keeping residents and family informed.

I would say it is probably one of the best assisted living communities in Manhattan. They can be inflexible with care routines. Whenever the care providers are terrific. I don't recommend for a spouse to live there, if they don't require assisted living. The food is very good. The public space can feel dark and bleak, and they are similar to apartment communities. If staying on the island of Manhattan this is probably the best place to go for assisted living.

I feel they killed my mom. My mom was one of the residents that died in the community in April due to COVID. Most residents that needed fulltime care or the Memory Care died due to due to complications of COVID-19. My ratings are prior to COVID.

We liked the most because of the setting and building. The community was adequate and good in other ways. They may not have been able to provide all we were hoping. We hoped for more assistance with nursing staff, as it felt a little sparse. Some of the staff was friendly and others were not and it depended on the individual personalities.

I would recommend it. I am very happy with it. The community did a great job with COVID compared to other communities. This made me feel my loved one was safe. I sleep easy at night knowing my loved one is there.

Atria Kew is very expensive, but we like the location and the fact that it provides a Jewish atmosphere. It is in a nice neighborhood. The staff is very accommodating and knowledgeable of all residents, because some are very active and some need a lot of care. They have doctors on sight which is really nice. The rooms at this community are about moderate size. The food is pretty good, it is kosher which does present some limitations.

The staff is very friendly and the place is very nice. The biggest problem I've had is with billing. This is the only reason I gave them a 4 instead of a 5. I feel that they haven't been transparent with this. My mom is well taken care of at this community.

We chose Atria largely because of the location and the price. Also, my mother in law wanted to be able to go to church, and Atria has a bus that would bring the residents to the church down the street. The room sizes here are sufficient. She has a living room, bathroom, bedroom, and kitchenette. We have eaten here and the food to us was good. She likes the food. She has an aid that helps her read the menu. they serve fresher foods. When we read the reviews, we had heard the food wasn't as good so we were leary, but we pleasantly surprised. My favorite part about the community is the activities they provide as well as the care. The activity director is wonderful, she really cares about the residents. She likes to be busy so she really appreciates all the things to do. They have electric doors so she is able to go outside and get fresh air in her wheelchair which she would not be able to if she was at home. I would recommend this community.

We chose Atria Kew Gardens because we had to have a Kosher place for my mom, they fit the bill perfectly. The location also played a big part. The room sizes are adequate, we haven't had any issues with that. I have eaten here and for the most part the food is good. The residents are able to select what they want to eat and there is a good variety of fresh foods. I would recommend Atria. The care and caring of the staff has been wonderful. I am very impressed with how they have handled COVID issues. They tested everyone in the facility and everyone has tested negative. They managed well under the pressure of the pandemic.

At first initially this community was great, but after awhile we weren't getting our moneys worth. Every time they did anything extra the prices went up, and when the prices went up the services went down. We felt the staff was neglecting the residents at times. On the other hand the rooms were nice, but overall we would not recommend this to a family or friend.
