Atria

They could not take us through the facility due to covid. We were only able to see one unit and it was not the one that my loved one was looking into getting. The pet deposit here is extremely high as well as the rent. It was not the best experience.

Atria of Glen Cove appears to be lovely when you visit but that is it! The inconsistency in communication was a HARD NO for us. We met with the Director [name removed] and discuss what we were looking for. We were told a wonderful story. When we met with [name removed], nothing we discussed occurred during our love ones visit. We reached out and again made an attempt to work with Atria of Glen Cove. The same thing occurred. We were told many wonderful things and then receive a notice that they could not honor what they had stated. I felt like I was dealing with a used car dealer. I felt like it was the old bait and switch. This type of setting in not a place for your love one! You want to make sure they are safe and well taken care of!!!

The facility is clean and updated but there is a big difference that never shows up in any brochures between assisted care and the memory care. The bottom line is when we put my wife into Atria, the first 24 hours she fell 3 times. I was told that they do not have the staffing to give her enough care and if I wanted that I would have to pay for the caregiver myself on top of what we were paying for her to be there. They should have never taken her if she was not going to be able to receive the care that she needed. I think there needs to be more information provided up front, we would have never put her in here if we knew then what we we know now. There were also logistical issues with the medications that costed me money.

Disappointed! [name removed] didn’t care at all!! She had no desire to show us the facility or talk about the facility. She did not offer us any paperwork, show us around, talk about the facility or amenities. Definitely would NOT recommend this place - if she doesn’t care; then I don’t see the rest of the staff caring.

Our experience at Sierra Pointe was just awful. As a son of a former resident, as well as a Geriatrician who has long advocated for older persons, I find the practices of Sierra Pointe/Atria to be quite alarming. Caregivers are severely understaffed and cant provide the quality care residents need. Residents may wait 30+ min when requesting help going to the toilet. So undignified! I'll never forget when my Mom was left on the floor without help for 30 minutes after a fall. My sense is that the problems with Sierra Pointe run deep within the Atria culture. I found myself dismayed after multiple conversations with the corporate office, believe they were less than honest with me, and were all about the $$ and cared little about their residents. Sierra Pointe looks nice from the outside but its not a good place. Many residents + staff have left. I strongly advise those who want to protect their loved ones to look elsewhere.

Food is inedible. No cleaning service for unit. Management is unresponsive. Go elsewhere

Atria is a beautiful place, nice rooms and very clean and we do know covid had a big impact, but we felt that they did the whole bait and switch thing. They said it was cheap, great value and there maybe be small extra fees depending on the levels of care but that was not the case. Our loved one had a significant fall and needed to go to the hospital. While they were there we were getting nursing bills, and cable bills even though they were not at the facility.

The staff was not always wearing masks and following covid regulations. The communication between the staff and the family was not very good. This would be a good place for independent living.

The community has raised our rent by 1000 as of [date removed]. after letting us know it would rase for the duration of her stay. The food is being delivered to the rooms due to covid and I would like the staff to offer more encouragement to participate in activities and social interactions.

If you have a loved one that only has minimal needs and some independence it's ok, If they need more not so much. They are reluctant to problem solve and met particular patient needs. I would only recommend it if is minimal care needed.

My folks moved into Independent Living at Atria Cinco Ranch 3 weeks ago. Bored stiff. Have only met 1-2 people. I totally understand lots of this has to do with Covid. Feel so sorry for the residents who live alone—-feels like a sad place. My folks just gave their 30 day notice. ??

Our loved one lived there and the experience for her was just awful. The individual who ran the memory care unit that interviewed her said our loved one needed to be there when she actually didn't. However this community was kept very clean. The overall layout of this community is very nice. There are two floors for the memory care, but only two aids there to watch over the residents. We felt that was just not enough and they needed to bring on more aids. The activities from our understanding were okay, our loved one just did not always participate in them. The rooms on the memory care side were more like a studio apartment. There was no kitchen facility in it, but it did have a full bathroom. According to our loved one she was not a big fan of the food.

stayed here in late july 2020. very disorganized. got dinner very late on two ocassions and then served me cold melted cheese sandwhjches, no activities - not even a walk at a distance around the spacious properties. nobody knows anything - got a new chef . food got worse. save your money and go to assisted care that costs half the atria san juan charges. if you want your loved one to get worse, this place will do it

I am writing this review for the people who are trying to make the right decision with respect to their loved one. Atria Grapevine is not what they portray themselves to be. I want to first start with my overall experience with respect to the facility. This is based on my actual experiences for the 5 months that my mother lived in the facility. • They are chronically understaffed, and this leads to a level of service that was not anywhere near what they portrayed when they we first visited the facility. They didn’t have enough staff to: o promptly serve the residents their meals. o check on my mother as often as they said they would per the care level we paid o communicate patient care effectively and promptly. This lead to medication not being stopped, not being changed, etc. • The food steadily deteriorated over the time we were there. When we moved in it was good, the menu was varied. By the time we moved out it was not as good as your average high school cafeteria • Maintenance and cleaning were almost non-existent. We had to make repeated requests for the lock on her door to be fixed, her toilette to stop leaking/running and to fix her a/c. The a/c unit for the apartment was woefully small for the square footage of the actual apartment • Even though you pay for cleaning, they are not very diligent and thorough when it comes to cleaning the apartment. I even swept some items into a corner to see how long it would take them to clean them up. They never did and I had to point it out to them Now we need to get into the financial aspects of the operation. My mother executed a lease in April 2019 and moved into the facility in mid-May. In the lease there is a clause that points out that if you are not physically living in the facility, you must pay your rent to keep your apartment but you are not going to be expected to pay for care, meds, etc. We noticed what we believed to be some billing issues and requested a meeting with the facility director in June. We discussed that per the lease we should not have been billed for the care and meds. [Name removed] agreed that we should not have been charged and would get them credited back to us. We asked for a second meeting in July to discuss the issue from June as well as some other issues. This time the Medical Director was also included. We informed [name removed] that we were still looking for our refund for April and May. She was going to investigate it. More importantly we discussed that they had a new staffer who is charged with assisting the residents overnight. My mother complained that this new person was “mean” and when we asked what she meant she told me that “this lady asks me if I am just stupid. And that I need to help her “We were told that they had an idea of who this person was and that it would be addressed. Instead of terminating this person they simply transferred them to another job. After that fact we discovered that there had been multiple complaints about this staffer We finally did get this credit to our account sometime in late July. There was change in Directors in October while my mother left the facility for a medical procedure. She was in the hospital and a rehab for the next three months. During that time was continued to be charged for the charges in excess of the monthly rent. We have repeatedly requested a refund of this balance with no response. To top it off, even though we were told that they could not accept my Mother back due to their assessment they did debit her account for the January payment. On an aside, my Mother was able to get into another facility at a reduced level of care. It does not appear that we are going to receive the requested refund amiably so “buyer beware” when it comes to Atria Grapevine

This place has really gone downhill over the last year. The old management team was great, the new team has come in and the morale is extremely low from staff to residents. They increase the rent every year by 10% or more. The Executive Director is clueless when it comes to managing the community.

My mom lived at Atria for only a couple of months before we had a problem. She fell and broke her hip in the early morning and no one from our family was notified about her being rushed to the hospital. It wasn't until the orthopedic surgeon called the following day about her surgery that we were even aware of this. It took several (!) days for the executive director to respond - he stated that the nightperson "called the numbers on file but didn't leave a message". The long delay along with this excuse caused me to move my mom immediately out of Atria. I'm not sure if there are problems with the staffing at night/early morning, or if there are other issues, but I could no longer feel my mom was being taken care of at Atria when something like this occurred. To make it worse, the executive director has been very difficult and unpleasant to work with. I will have to take them to small claims court to get the appropriate reimbursement due based upon their contact. Beware.

Worst experience since Atria purchased them. Promises, Promises, Promises! Find yourself a privately held community, some new ones and I would consider looking at those as well. The only advantage to Atria is it's location. If you are mobile, you can walk to Safeway, CVS and AJ's shopping centers.

The dementia unit does not have qualified professionals to handle people with significant psychological and medical needs. It is difficult to nderstand how they can get away with this. This place is a disgrace.

I had a face-time video tour scheduled with them for [date removed]. The appointment time came and went and no call. No calls at all. Pretty disappointing. They have lost my trust. No, I will not reconsider because if this is how they treat a prospective resident, do they also ignore them once they live there? I'm not willing to find out.

I've seen bigger appliances in a pickup camper.Few handicapped parking places, small, can't take leftovers from restaurant.
