Atria

This community was large. I felt like my loved one may be not have as much attention with the large amount of residents that they had. Also there was another community that was closer to my home that was smaller. This community was just out of the way and not really what we wanted for our loved one.

Our family had an in person tour and it was nice but they seemed to cater more towards assisted living and memory care and we wanted our loved one t try out independent living first.

The staff are friendly. The apartments are nice sized units. The grounds and buildings are beautiful. It's in a great location. But we're having some struggles right now with the food. They had a chef when my family members first moved in. That chef has since left, and they're really struggling getting a menu together and getting good food to their clientele. There's a fair amount of activities to choose from. But the value aspect is lacking right now because of the food.

The clinical staff come across as wanting to be efficient, but I don't believe that they are. They tend to make a lot of judgements that are not factual, just opinions on their part. As far as the overall cleanliness and the other residents, my mother loves it there. She doesn't like the food though because they don't put any seasoning on it. I like the activities director, and I think the activities are appropriate for what my mother can do.

This community is a little outdated. With covid there are a lot of activities that they cant do right now. The big things that the residents look to they cant really do right now. Also the food isn't that great at this time due to staffing issues.

I would look at other communities and see what they offer vs this community and make your own mind up.

The community wasn't as cleaned or organized as I wanted it to be. The memory care was nice, but too much care than what my loved one would have needed. The menu is Kosher here for everyone.

Our loved one seems to be really enjoying the meals and dining service. The activities are still pretty limited, they have bingo, a few other small games and some stretching classes. Given the circumstances they are trying their best, but right now it is a little disappointing just because our loved one is so active still.

We toured a while back when we were looking for independent living for our loved one. I thought the facility itself was very nice. The apartments were very nice, and some even had garages. There were three levels of care on the premises, which would have been good. The only thing I didn’t care for was the fact that the independent living was across the parking lot from the main facility. So if it was raining, you would have had to walk through the rain to get to the dining hall. Also the only person I interacted with on the tour was the placement person, and I thought she was rather pushy. I wasn’t a fan.

I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. Their COVID practices were good. The atmosphere and friendliness stand out to me. The food seemed to be generic cafeteria food.

Atria Huntington is a beautiful place, the grounds themselves are beautiful. We have heard the food is okay especially for being in a community setting.

Atria Campana Del Rio was a good second choice. My loved one would have had a really large, nice patio that looked out on a courtyard. But she would have had to give up her kitchen, and she wasn't ready to give up cooking just yet. We found another place that offered full kitchens in the apartments, and that sealed the deal for her.

The community seems to be well taken care of, and we were able to eat a few meals with our loved one there. Overall the food was pretty good and he enjoyed it at first, but as time went on there was not a wide enough of a variety so it was repetitive. We do wish during the pandemic they would of made more of an effort to engage the residents in some kind of activities so they did not feel so isolated. However we were very excited when we found the facility, it just had a really good vibe to it.

I like that this facility was small and I felt like my dad would not get lost in the shuffle. Covid has been rough but it has been rough for all senior facilities. I would recommend this facility to others.

Making the choice to move to Atria was an easy one for my wife and me. Our home was close by and we had visited church friends living here, We were favorably impressed with the staff and the friendly residents we met. We have lived here over three years in a spacious apartment, and from our balcony we sit and swing and enjoy the sounds from the creek and are surrounded by colorful trees. We have made wonderful friends, and have enjoyed many of the activities available to us. My wife joined the Food Committee and I was elected to the Resident Council. We also became Ambassadors welcoming new residents and helping them find their way around the campus. We both feel we made a perfect choice in moving here. While dealing with the terrible pandemic has been a severe blow to the whole world, we are grateful that the Atria staff has taken measures to protect us. No resident has suffered from COVID-19, and we look forward to the time when we can resume life as we knew it.

It is difficult to communicate with the community. You have to monitor very carefully on what goes on. The food service has been late and my loved one won't get breakfast until 9 or 9:30 am. The housekeeping director was hard to deal with on laundry. Recently we haven't had any problems with the laundry service. I never receive a callback about the Executive Director. [name removed] has always been helpful and efficient. Annetta the head nurse has been great. I am able to speak to my loved one daily via phone. It is a lovely community, but it isn't perfect. I feel the level of care for the amount of money you are spending a month should be excellent.

Beautiful community. Rapid response to residents needs. Extremely clean. Staff very caring. The one negatative is the quality and preparation of food. Drivers are wonderful!

I was not an appropriate candidate for that facility. I am much too active and much too little interested in people. I was there to recover from surgery before returning home. Friendly, good food, well run.

The facility is kept very clean and the staff is very friendly. The continental breakfast is boring. Price doesn’t include lunch however, they do put out half sandwiches of the same 3 sandwiches daily in case you’re desperate. Dinner is usually good but it’s the same salad everyday and sometimes they serve things like couscous that really aren’t a part of elderly generation foods. Need a new recipe for Italian sauce. They could use improvement in their welcoming of new residents. Overall a good place and I’m sure above average.

If I could give the med techs and direct patient staff 5 stars separately, I would. My Mom has been there for almost 3 years and we feel she has been treated very well. I think the problem lies in the corporate structure. I'm sure theconstant staff turn over is due to low pay (for such tough jobs), and they seem to have reduced the staff (particularly in the dining room) in the last couple of years. All this while taking huge price increases ($300+ per month) each year. This is really difficult for seniors on fixed incomes. Too bad this "for profit" senior living corporation is so focused on profits.
