Atria

We chose Atria because it is very conveniently located it is only 10 minutes from my house. The atmosphere here is very home like and does not feel like an institution. My mother will be sharing an apartment with two old ladies but will have her own room. With her being in her own room it allows her to bring some of their own furnisher. They provide different levels of care and are a really age in place community. The menu looks like they offer a wide range of meals. My sister and I just felt like this was the best fit for our mom.

I looked at several places and found more than one acceptable, but have been really happy with Atria Sunnyvale. My mom was previously living at Bridgepoint Los Altos which I also endorse, but her cognitive decline created a need for finding a facility that offers memory care. I've visited several times and each time my mom is out of her room participating in activities, sometimes passively but she is included in activities that are suitable for her cognitive level which I really like. Atria's residents have individual rooms which I also liked. My mom's vocabulary has improved since moving to Atria. She made the transition without much trouble. The great thing about Atria is they have enough staff so that they are able to do their job and not be overwhelmed or rushed. Atria Sunnyvale has beautiful grounds and a nice layout but the thing that really makes this place great are the numerous caregivers. They will narrate during activities so that everyone can participate; if they are making a puzzle they will instruct residents to look for a certain color piece to help complete the puzzle. My mom enjoys the sing-alongs, the activities are rewarding and the staff makes her feel she's part of the group.

Although having your loved one leave their home of 50 years is never easy, our advisor at A Place for Mom ( Vanessa Lightbody) and the Sales Director at Atria Bay Shore (Stephanie Collins) both made the process as easy as possible. Both were exceptionally understanding, knowledgeable and friendly over the six months it took for my father to feel comfortable with the decision and for the right apartment to become available. From the day he moved in, my father has been VERY pleased with Atria. The staff are all very friendly and attentive, the meals are better than those at most restaurants, and the surroundings, inside and out, are beautiful and we'll-maintened. Most important of all, I believe they care about my father's health and happiness. Yes , Atria is expensive, but the peace of mind they are giving my father and our family is priceless

The Atria Westchase is a very nice assisted living community. It is clean and well kept and the staff is friendly, helpful and accessible. Each staff member offers to help if anything is needed. There are plenty of group activities available for the residents, as well as medical attention and therapies. The apartment floor plans are nice with good sized kitchenettes. It is a good value for the money!

The best so far - Talk about a 5 star Hotel - WOW

We chose Atria because it was just the best fitting community for the situation we were currently in. The grounds are very well kept and very pretty. The scenery is in fact so pretty we took formal pictures there with my family there was lots of trees and very pretty landscaping. We are very happy with our choice and would recommend to others.

We chose this community because it is located to our friends and family. Atria Kinghaven really have a good reputation around the community. It is located in a suburb but it is surrounded by trees and greenery, which provide several nice places to sit outside and relax.

This place was wonderful loved it, and so did my brother. The only thing was that it was really expensive and aren't sure about the finances yet.

Very impressed with the property, the surroundings. The staff was lovely & friendly. I think it would be too expensive for my mom.

Gorgeous and less expensive than either the Grand Oaks or Belmont. Newly rennovated and has wifi in every room (this was the only place that offered that). Great food and eating area. No pool; however, they go to a pool twice a week and have several other outings. Theatre and library. The upgrades made me see myself living there which was interesting - perhaps it was the 10 massive Oaks that appeared to be quite old and protected. Putting green and whatever care is needed is provided discretely in your apartment - no need to move as your needs change. I was very impressed!

This was a wonderful place! It has lovely large two bedroom apartments (around $7000 for both of you)with patios and nice views. There is a waiting list and it might be a year until one is available. The deposit to be placed on the waiting list is $500 and is fully refundable. Their one bedroom was also nice and less expensive of course. I loved everything about this place - heated pool, billiards room, beauty shop, theater, game room for cards and rummycube, etc (I'll bet you could get the train game going!). The ambiance was very 'homey' and warm with a grand piano and electric fireplace, library, area to use computers and internet. They will paint the apt whatever color you wish at no cost if we buy the paint. Laundry facilities are in each apt so you don't have to go to a laundry room. All meals included. Putting green and right across the street from the civic center and near the world botanical gardens. Very cool! I spoke with a man who has lived there over a year and he had only great things to say.

Really like this place, however may not be in our price range

We chose this community because after visiting about 3 others Atria was the best organized and was the cleanest. The rooms are really nice and have plenty of space. The staff is just marvelous and really makes a difference. Diana is a true professional and did really well assisting us with everything we needed. There seems to be plenty of activities to keep the residents occupied if they chose to participate. As soon as we visited Atria we just knew this was the community we wanted. We are very pleased with our decision in choosing Atria.

The first and foremost reason that my mom and I choose “Atria Marina Place” was because of the visual pleasantness and cleanliness of the way that they looked. Even thought they are very clean they don’t have a hospital feel to them, mom says that they feel more like a hotel than a hospital. They are a newer model of assisted living care and close to family like my brother and sister so it’s easier to visit mom. I can’t say enough about how great the people are whether it’s the people who work in the office, the nurse or the others that help out. They are always ready to help. Mom has made some new friends and gets along well with the other residence. The food is excellent and taste great, they have a big variety to choose from and I’m pleasantly pleased to see that my mom is eating much better. They have a beautician on site that mom loves to go to. Mom was thrilled that they had a Podiatrist come in she thinks that it was the best thing of all time. All in all mom is happy right now and very positive, she is doing a great job of embracing the situation herself. Mom says that she gives the friendly of the staff a Five Star Plus.

The people are friendly and the place is clean. My folks were here for respite and Atria is in a good location for the family.

We really love this community. The staff has taken great care of my husband and has really impressed us with the level of care they offer. We can not say enough good things about this community.

I like that there are always people around and all seem very happy. 10 stars for the friendliness of the people! The grounds are nice and the food is excellent with plenty options. I was pleasantly surprised!

The staff know all residents by first name and go out their way to help. mother adapted very quickly and is very happy especially considering she is very hard to please. Had looked at 11 different places and chose this one because of everything it offers.

Excellent facility. Planning to make commitment for my brother for August move in.

I recently moved my mother from a nursing home that was absolutely horrible to Arbor Terrace of Tucker. She was suffering from End Stage Parkinson's Disease and required a great deal of assistance, but they accepted her anyway. When she arrived the staff at Arbor Terrace gave her a complete medical check, reviewed her medications, made the necessary adjustments and immediately began to treat my mother, and the rest of my family, with the utmost respect, kindness, care, and professionalism. We never received the 'that's not my job and so its not my problem' attitude so prevalent in other facilities, from anyone at Arbor Terrace. If a request or question was not something the staff member could help us with he or she would direct us to the proper person and make sure we connected. A member of our family visited every day and Mother was always bathed, dressed in clean clothing, and very well tended to. We were constantly asked if there was anything we, as visiting family, or mother, as patient/resident, needed. Arbor Terrace deserves the highest possible rating. They were wonderful to my mother and our family. The building and grounds are beautiful and well kept, the food is good, healthy, and varied. The staff is kind and caring and never ever acted annoyed by any request. Though my mother did not participate, there were activities, games, exercise, and various things to entertain and engage all the 'guests' I cannot speak highly enough other Hospice service; Wonderful, kind, gentle people. Marcy Franco is a saint. While placing my mother in assisted living and her death shortly thereafter, are not pleasant things, Arbor Terrace gave my mother a beautiful of life experience and I thank Goodness I found them.
