Atria

They are amazing. I am very pleased with what they do here. My dad is finally maintaining his weight. Thank goodness there are caring loving people here. They don't know when I'm coming and whenever I show up he is up dressed and bathed with a clean room. If I bring anything up they immediately address it, they don't make excuses, or pass blame. They have the restaurant kind of thing upstairs, but the people downstairs still get very quality food, if they serve something he doesn't really like something, they will order up what he does like. I haven't met one person there that I have had an issue with, not one. Other places had restrictions on visiting hours, or no overnights things like that, and here they had no problems with that, whatever helped get dad settled and comfortable. I can't say enough good things about Atria.

Mom moved into Atria WC in January 2015. I had looked at a number of facilities, and this one just felt right the first time I stepped in the front door. It's bright and clean, and the staffers are friendly and helpful and appear to really care about the residents. They've done a lot of little things that made Mom feel better about the move (a special shout-out to Tony, whose helpfulness and patience are really appreciated). It was hard for her to leave where she'd lived for the last 40 years, but she agreed it was time, and the excellent food (not to mention not having to cook for herself) has been a real plus. Expensive, yes, but worth it. There is a wide variety of activities (including movies, discussion groups, exercise classes, performances, and games), and transportation to the nearby shopping center and to the local library seems efficient and well-run. It can be a bit chaotic and noisy at the moment, since they're engaged in a major remodeling and upgrade of the facility, but each completed project just adds to the appeal of the place. If there's one drawback, it's the paucity of visitor parking, but I've never had to park more than half a block away, and the proximity to John Muir Medical Center is a big plus. If you're looking for a place in the Walnut Creek area for yourself or a parent, you owe it to yourself to check this one out.

When I visited the Atria Copeland in Tyler, TX I was very impressed with this community. It was a lot better than any other place we have seen before. It would work beautifully for just one of us but is a bit small for us both. We need a garage (man-cave) for my husband. Overall, It was nice, and when it comes to the friendliness, they would get a 5+!

We looked here when we were searching for a place that might work. We thought this was a very nice community. The people were friendly and it was kept clean. I don't think we are going to end up moving anywhere right now, but this was a nice place.

We never actually moved my father I'm to marland place but it was the location we had selected.

We are very happy with the Atria. The food has been quite good. They make everything in house, really I think they do a pretty good job, for an institutional setting. We really have been pretty pleased with them.

An exceptional community. It would be our choice if it was just one of us but just a little small for the two of us. We are still pretty active.

The community is clean and well maintained. The people there are caring and loving and they treat my Mom like family. Mom is always doing activities when I visit and they seem to keep her busy. The food is better than average and they bring snacks at any time Mom wants something. Shopping transportation is available.

The staff are all equally professional, caring and attentive. Country club atmosphere. Their attention to detail is exceptional. The activities are varied to cover everybody's needs. A lady likes bridge and they are trying to set up a bridge club for her. My whole experience with A Place for Mom and this community has been exceptional.

They're doing a great job at Atria Draper Place so far! My loved one really seems to be enjoying himself here. The staff have all been very friendly, and whenenever I visit everything is always well kept and clean. He also always has good things to say about the food!

We're very pleased with how things have gone at Atria Lincoln Place! It's a nice looking, clean, well kept community, and everyone here seems very friendly. They're doing a great job looking out for my loved one, and I would recommend them highly!

After we toured Atria Chandler Villas with Susan Griffin, we made the decision that this would be the perfect place for my sister. The move took a little while to make and during that time, we were welcomed and embraced. The staff is very attentive and great at follow up with everything. The community has a really helpful program where other residents act as ambassadors to show new residents around and get them situated. The whole community is filled with a "natural enthusiasm," which makes the experience a happy one. My sister is still getting settled and is looking forward to participating in the many activities that are available. We've met the chef and the food is wonderful, including fresh bread. I can't say enough about how great this community is. It's close to our family and we can visit often. We've been invited to enjoy some of the activities and to meals. There are good common and open areas. We are so grateful for our advisor at A Place For Mom for referring us to Atria Chandler Villas. My sister is safe and secure and we know that help is always there for her. I would highly recommend this community.

They seem to be doing a great job. She is very happy there. The only concern I had is that she didn't like what was being served for a particular meal, and she needed to be reminded to order something else, now they know and remind her that she can have something else. The food itself seems to be good. They are really attentive to her needs. We are happy with them.

Casa de Santa Fe was easy to locate. Dyan Clarke was very kind, great demeanor, extremely knowledgeable, knew all the residents by their first names. The residents looked happy living there. The caretakers looked like they enjoy their jobs. The rooms are more than accommodating. You can make your space your own and fix it up. The whole inside of the building is very clean, bright, homey and cheery. Right now, for shared rooms it is $3550 but if my mother needs extra help, then the price could go up from $3700 to $5650. It depends on the level of care she needs. They also have an annual increase of 3 to 5 percent. There's the issue. However, my daughter and I really liked this facility.

Atria is an excellent place to entrust your loved one. Their staff are well trained and most have been there a very long time which attests to the quality of the management. They are diligent about every detail of care. They work hard to create a family atmosphere and get residents engaged in activities. We moved mom to Atria after a bad experience at another facility. Atria went out of their way to make moms transition as easy as possible and gave her extra attention the first few weeks to ensure she learned her way around. I highly recommend Atria Westchase and am thankful for the peace of mind their care has given us.

My mother has stage 4 cancer and early onset Alzheimers. After 4 months of intensive chemo she was physically and mentally exhausted and not at all herself. My family and I were concerned that she might not be well enough to manage in an assisted living community but we felt that the short term memory loss associated with her newly diagnosed Alzheimers made it unsafe for her to live with one of us. A professional medical evaluation was conducted at the Atria and their team felt that with the right services she would be ok there. We arranged for the Atria to manage her medications and help with dressing and walking her to meals. The entire team at the Atria was committed to my mom's well being and it showed in the results. As it turned out, my mom was definitely able to not just live, but flourish at the Briarcliff Atria. She left six weeks later (hers was a respite stay during the holidays and then she returned to her home in Florida) as a different person. The combination of the exercise she got just walking around the Atria to get to the many activities, combined with the delicious and substantive meals, and the social interaction and the never ending enjoyable entertainment etc. was transformational for my mom. We found her physically stronger and cognitively she was stronger also - - we beleive that the structured rhythm to her day that the Atria's environment provided made such a difference with her cognition. And being surrounded by professionals who beleive in what they do and are committed to doing it well makes a critical difference in the experience and my mom felt that the staff genuinely cared about her. For my family the Briarcliff Atria was the best Christmas gift ever. They gave us our mom back.

My mom is very Happy. Her condition has improved since she moved in 2 months ago.

Beautiful facility.....pricy.

amazing place. Mary & exec director phenomenal. lovely facility.

They are doing a good job. We had some hiccups in the beginning, but they have addressed the issues. It's clean and the staff is friendly. They have an open menu to pick what you want. I hear a lot of people say they like the food better than where they were. The billing was kind of funky in the beginning, but we were just recently able to go through the bills the last few months, and they have made some adjustments, so now it is correct.
