Atria

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.

My 84 year old friend has improved in so many ways since living in Atria. She is happier than she’s been in a very long time The staff are super friendly, courteous & well trained. The activities are geared for all levels.

This has been a rewarding move for my Mother-in-Law, she is comfortable in her roomy one bedroom apartment. There are many activities, she is close to shopping and doctors.

Although the facility is lovely and friendly, we were never told it was kosher. This seems like a big consideration to have overlooked when touring and signing on, especially for a non Jewish person. Also the food situation is bad. A new chef is in the works, but not so good right now

This is the answer for my M-I-L. She had a stroke & needs help with personal care. She can no longer drive nor shop/cook for herself. Prior to moving to Atria- she had a 24/7 aide @ her apartment. But she was missing the socializing she had pre-stroke. There are loads of activities to choose from on & off-site. There are several choices at every meal & the kitchen is open 7am to 7pm! Dinnertime- linen table cloths are on every table. She does use the house doctor, so she does not need to go off camps for care. She has received P.T. while there and is now mastering the use of a walker & only uses the wheelchair if she is tired or going a long distance. She NEVER thought this choice would work for her . After living there for 4 months- she is stronger & more independent than we ever thought she could be. My husband is an only child- and he now has peace of mind knowing she is living in a safe, well thought out community.

The people at Atria Grapevine are friendly and helpful. They are kind and caring. Recently there has been a large turnover in personnel in the memory care wing. They are starting to paint and make small updates that seem cheerful and help brighten up the environment.

We toured at Atria Draper and thought that the community was very good. The staff seemed friendly and they seemed to have a full schedule of activities going on. However, we thought that the community may have been too big for her.

I’m trying to understand how Atria can justify a 7% rate increase for 2018 (24% over the last 4 years), especially after the 7.5% increase for 2017. I would think they would have left the price the same, or even dropped it, after the problems they’ve had this year - in January, most of the waitstaff left causing problems in the dining room and Bistro which took several months to deal with; and, the lack of a Director for a few months. While this is a nice facility, it is in no way luxurious as stated on the Atria website These increases are especially disturbing since Social Security increased only 4.3% over the same period (most of which was taken up by MediCare), and the Consumer Price Index has increased only 5.4% between 2014 and 2017. Are all Atria properties getting such increases or is it just Davis?

This community was nice however the fact that my uncle primary language he speaks is Spanish sometimes he will talk all in English but he prefers Spanish and the fact that wasn't a language spoken by the staff that may have been an issue. The staff was nice and very welcoming. The community was very clean and well maintained great grounds.

This is a nice looking community. The people we met were friendly. This community offers transportation and has some nice activities. We were looking for an independent only community.

This community was very nice it has been recently been renovated in the last couple of years so everything is nice and clean and well maintained. The community is in a nice residential area with a golf course nearby. The staff was very informative and friendly when we were there.

My dear friend has recently made the move into this community and I have to say things are just going okay so far for him. He seems to have adapted well and is making friends with the other residents. I just am not happy with the staff at the front desk and the fact that they can never return my phone calls as promised.

I have no complaints of the tour I had taken at this community. I ended up not choosing this place for personal reasons and thought the staff selection was just not my favorite.

I have no complaints of my tour that I had taken of this community for my loved one. The staff where on time to our appointment and made sure to answer any questions I had for them in detail. I thought they had a great floor plan with lots of great information to provide on everything they had to offer. It was just not the right location for us in the end decision.

The care is going well for my dad while living here. He likes the food and he is doing okay with everything. We like all of what they provide like good activities, the apartment, and the way the community is set up.
