My daughter and son-in-law took a tour with [name removed] over at Atria. We’ve been very impressed with the professionalism and communications we’ve had with [name removed]. We are still making some decisions regarding my brother-in-law, but will definitely keep Atria in mind as his physical health become stronger and hopefully he can become more independent. Thank you so much, [name removed].

Our family's experience

Staff was friendly and my mother loved them. She needed someone to help her learn the routines I didn't realize how a new place would be so hard for her to adjust to. She was only there less than a month and the difference between what she was used to and learning something new was harder on her than we knew. It was sad because she liked having her own room, but she did not know when activities were happening. I guess she needed more support.

Overall a nice community

I really don't know what to say. I feel like you have to be good about reaching out to them because they will not reach out to you. My mom is at independent living level and it is very much independent so it feels like other than meals you make your own way. The other residents have been friendly. The dining room staff are great. Food has been good and my mom is somewhat picky.
