Atria

I never noticed any dirt or dust anywhere in the community. Initially, we had some issues with the orientation for my mother. Once we addressed that, the staff has improved. It does seem like there could be some improvement with coordination and communication of the residents' care. We did think the activities were quite good. We do think the price for Atria Park Of St. Josephs is pretty reasonable compared to other communities in the area.

i have been impressed with how safe it has been during COVID. I do think they try to meet the needs of the residents. The caregivers are kind and my mom hasn't had any complaints about them. The food is good and they offer a variety. We chose this community because its convenience to our family, it is smaller facility, and it was comparable as far as price

There is at times a lack of communication between our family and the care teams. The director is extremely transparent and communicates with us very well, especially throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. They clean the dinning room and living room after every meal and the hallways and common areas were always vacuumed. The grounds were also very well maintained. The activities director is great and she put on a lot of different activities to keep the residents entertained. One thing I wish they would do more of is offer to have the residents play cards, which my mother personally enjoys a lot. During the community lock down, the activities director has done very well with coordinating communication between us and our loved one. For the most part they have done well with my mother's care. The care is extremely expensive and we aren't sure how the care can be quite so expensive.

When my mother went into this community, she was very mobile and active. At the time when she left, she was less mobile and less active. Her experience here was great right up until she moved. They didn't allow any sort of assistance with ambulation, which was the reason she needed to move to a new community. The activities were great here, very engaging and intellectually stimulating. They had lectures about history and the opera and other things, movies in their theater, and even had entertainers come in and perform. As a mobile and active senior, this is a great community. The food here was also great.

I wouldn't come here because the food is not good, Its high fat and high salt. They have been through a series of cooks. The apartment is very nice . The staff are very good and nice people. The residents here are very nice. It is expensive to live here and they raise the rent every year.

I have not been here very long and most of it has been during unusual circumstances with the quarantine with them bringing our meals to our rooms. I am happy with the place overall. Everyone seems to like the activities. Food is good.I think it is a good place to live, good location. I am close to my family.

ents. This is a light, bright, clean facility with plenty of activities for the residents. However, until the pandemic is over, all residents are to remain in their rooms, and are not allowed to leave. Meals are brought to residents in their rooms. I am comfortable with these rules since my mom is in there.

After I lost my wife, I still wanted to be home. My daughter thought this was a nice place for me. I like this place, the staff is very friendly, informative, good service, the place is kept well. They keep me busy with activities. This is the best place to be.

My daughter picked this place and I like it. The staff is nice and very helpful. I enjoy playing BINGO, puzzles, exercise.

I toured the facility and spoke with [name removed] and she was extremely helpful. The place is very clean and the residents I meant seamed happy. However I felt the layout of the place was confusing and the cost is more then we can afford at this time as well I did not care for the meal card plan.

Lobby resembled an upscale resident building with marble flooring and marble-like pillars. Receptionist wore professional blazer. Sitting area had upscale tables and chairs. Residents were sitting and reading papers or books. Activity room resembled a conference room with cabinets and long table. Three "Restaurants" to choose from for meals or snacks. Open 24/7. Formal dining, Grill diner or casual dining. Community is a large maze. Community immaculant with plants and trees throughout common areas. Apartment nice size with full kitchen. Staff appeared robotic friendly as if their going through the motions. Residents appear to be happy and joyous. Group outings. Transportation to doctor appointments. I felt it was overpriced for the location of the community. The entry fee was a bit pricey. Plenty of parking for residents and guests. Receptionist was authentically friendly. Community on corner of busy street. There was a sidewalk path around the building and leading to the sidewalk next to street. Overall community was nice but a bit pricey and no warmth fuzzy feelings.

Wonderful place

First place we visited. I liked it, food seemed decent, but did not sample. The cheapest room was very small, and had a roof view which was depressing. Other rooms looked much better (alcove), but you paid for it. My sister did not like the overall vibe, and later we visited the Kensington, which I had to admit was much nicer. In the end, I think you get what you pay for. Both places had graduated care, which is important as time moves on, we all will need more help.

Very clean facility. Staff friendly and cordial. Lots of activities going on with resident participation. Interaction of residents in many areas; residents smiling, laughing, etc. Outdoor area very nice. BBQ grill available to residents.

Tour guide very helpful, patient, and informative. Beautiful building and grounds. Residents look very happy! Lots of activities, Great living spaces. Dining room is very nice and food is great! Pizza in bisto is to die for, and is best deal in town. Great location.

A very well-managed retirement community!

Very nice place, a little too quiet.

Buitiful building and a wonderful location. Still, lacking with any outside activities like pickle ball. This would be a good choice ONLY if I became physically unable to play outside sports, which is not expected for many years into the future.

The facility is lovely and staff very friendly. However, the aides are sorely unskilled and generally not caring or empathetic with residents. My father has been in the memory care unit for less than a month and has already been to the ER twice, the second time from an infection due to poor hygiene. Aids don't know how to do a simple transfer from wheelchair, even after training from the Rehab pro. Executive Director is worthless. Have expressed many concerns to him without a single step being taken on his part.

I was impressed with what I saw.i will contact a friend whose dad lives in assisted living and also I plan to make an unplanned visit.
