Atria

I think we saw it just before it was bought by Atria, I'm not sure. It was nice but it didn't have the layout that we wanted and the friendliness didn't seem as good there.

My dad's got dementia and I think he kind of fell through the cracks at first but it seems like they've got everything going now. It's a very nice facility. It's really one of the nicest. They had the best restaurant and variety of food which is important at that age. They could have more activities thought, engaging everyone a little more. The value is good. I looked at some other ones that were more expensive but you didn't get much more for your dollar. My dad's room has a balcony which is nice.

Very nice place, only 5 years old. Close to north point Mall, next to Verizon amphitheater -- could mean bad traffic on event nights? Close to where i used to work. Offered mom and Dad a couple of nights on the house if they want to check it out. Lots of amenities. Underground parking. Assisted living wing on 2floor open to independent. Smaller than Chambrel. Believe it may be more expensive. 56 assisted living units. Independent occupancy in 92-97% range.

We are happy with Atria Riverdale. The staff are helpful and caring and I feel my Aunt is being well cared for by Wellness dept. There are lots of activities, the place is always spotless, there is a nice patio and, a rare [removed] pets are permitted. The food is fine. It's a ten minute walk from the subway. The only [removed] there has been frequent management turnover and I'm told the staff will not help pick up after the pet. If there is a fall, they won't help the resident [removed] they call an EMT to ensure no injuries.

I liked the facility. I liked the room she was going to get better than the one she had today. I think the cost might have been a little less, but almost insignificantly so.

It was okay, but they told us that they would have a 99% chance they'd have a palce for him when he was ready to move but when the time came they didn't have one. They thought he might be a risk of wandering and, just one mans opinion, they didn't have a place that would be good for him so by mutual agreement we both backed out. It didn't matter to me where he was just as long as he was happy there, but i would have been fine with him here. Apparently it's a large corporation so we found a local company that had a local touch instead of the corporate attitude.

We were very impressed with that. If I was looking for something that was probably where I would move. The only drawback of that is they only had home health care. It was independent living and they had home health, I'm not sure if it was in house. That probably would not have been what my dad needed.

Lovely, but too active and urbane for Mom. High- rise.

The staff was very nice. The facility itself was bright and airy. I just thought that sort of added to it. The price was pretty much in line with the rest of the facilities that I looked at. There were some important things that they probably should have said. For Example, they talk about this van that you can take to appointments and to meet people for lunch and things but after my mother moved in they said oh she can't use the van because she's in a wheelchair. They knew that during the sales process but they didn't bother to add that fact in. That kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. My mom was hospitalized and never once did anyone call to ask how she was doing. They called me to work out the billing for when she's not in the room and during that time they still have not asked me how she's doing. The facility was beautiful and the people that work there were very nice in terms of the caregivers but I think the management above that leaves a lot to be desired.

Friendly, clean, OK.

Mom & I met with Lauren on 8/22. Excellent facility, studios are small.

Our loved one was here a very short amount of time; she just ended up needing a higher level of care. The community is very nice and well kept. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was decent and they had enough activities for the residents. Everything was fine during the time we were there, we really have not complaints.

It was too cost prohibitive for my brother.

This was one of our top three communities. The top three seemed to be the same to us so we allowed our loved on to choose from them. She did end up choosing another community but we would have been happy with either one. They are a really good community with a very friendly staff.

Not a good fit for mom.The place was too big. Good food service set up. Dining room dark.

The facility, activities and apartment were all attractive but the dining and food program is a bright star for this facility. Also impressive were the individual activity rooms, resident art that was displayed, the strong patriotic feel and respect for veterans-very important for this age group. Claes was very helpful and attentive to any questions we had and we did not feel pressured or rushed.

It was a family owned business and they sold it to atria recently so I don't know yet how that will work out. All I've seen so far is that they aren't going to have independent living anymore and my mom was in a transitional stage and she was moving to independent living, which they aren't offering as many of anymore. The staff has been wonderful, I think their care is excellent and we haven't really had any problems. They've been good mostly about everything, they know everybody's names and they helped my mom a lot. The did have a problem with their ambassador program, they said they were going to assign her to an ambassador and they never really did. The activities seemed really good, sometimes they cancled them and a thing my mom has complained about it that there aren't any acivities going on after 6 but with the transition going on that isn't at the top of our list.

This was my second choice. The only reason I didn't go with Grand Oaks is because there were only five residents in their memory care and the were all so far gone that they were basically asleep in wheelchairs, drooling all over themselves the whole time. My mom has Alzheimers but she is only 68 and I thought she would better time with a larger group of people - that there would be an age range and more activity.
