Atria

Everything has changed so much since my grandmother was in a place. Back then they were all like convalescent homes. Now, this place was like apartment living which is really nice! The people were nice. I really can't say anything bad about them.

It's expensive but I think it's a really nice place to live. 1. It's extremely clean 2. The ambience is very, very pleasant 3. The apartments are bright and light and well spaced. The bathrooms are very nice and large. 4. The people were defintiely kind and friendly and the food was excellent

I think atria is just perfect for my mom. Everything about it has either met or exceeded my expectations. Mom is just thrilled with it. I think it's good value. I think the industry as a whole is a little over priced. There are 3 levels of care and you pay an extra $350 for each level. Overall when we were pricing other communities and seeing what was available, Atria turned out to be a good value. She's only been there a month but so far she's contracted out for physical therapy and my mom loves the physical therapist. I think they're very tuned into her needs and how well she's doing. I think it's worked out very well. It was a good move for my mom.

Place seems nice, looks clean, doesn't smell, appears to be well kept.

We chose this facility and the staff has been very friendly and responsive to our mother's needs.

My father-in-law has resided at Atria Woodlands since August. This experience has provided him the socialization that living at home was no longer able to give him following the passing of my mother-in-law. He goes to each meal, a highlight of each day, knowing that he will have company and conversation while dining on food that he truly enjoys. He has proclaimed the chicken soup to be the best he has ever had, other than his wife's, of course. He also enjoys the musical events offered during the day and the evening movies. He has blossomed since coming to the Atria. I can not offer enough positive comments in describing the professionalism and kindness offered by every staff member, from the caring women who help him during the day, to the waiters and waitresses in the dining room, to the wonderful drivers who bring my father-in-law to his medical appointments, to the friendly staff who greet you at the front door, to the social worker who is always available to offer assistance, and to the nurses and physician in the Wellness Center who have provided extremely thorough and tender care.

I liked it very, very much and I wish my aunt had gone there earlier before it had turned into a pressing situation and she had to go into a lock down situation. We had gone and looked at it a year earlier and it was really nice, she just couldn't make up her mind where she was ready to go and then it turned into a situation where she was forced to go somewhere. I liked the way it appeared on the inside, it seemed like an open, friendly kind of place. To me it was more homey or more independent looking if you were going to transition into an assisted living. It was very clean, well kept and upscale, not depressing.

My mom is very happy there. She's in a two bedroom independent living apartment. She gets one meal per day and they also clean for her and they're on call if the have a medical emergency. I'd say it's good. They offer a variety of activities in the complex itself like cards and games and things. They also have seasonal parties and offer bus trips to various places around the community, local shopping and medical appointments. My mom is taking advantage of some of that but she's also still getting acquainted with the community. We probably looked at about a dozen more places in the Roseville, Rocklin, Sacramento area and I would say, hands down, this was the most attractive and appeared to meet my mom's needs most closely.

Atria is wonderful. We like everything! The food, the décor, the help, everything is just wonderful and. and they like it too. It's great. It's worked out well.

It's absolutely beautiful. They just got done remodeling. They're redoing the dining room, there's new carpet and they just got done painting. Of course, it's expensive but for what I'm getting in return, I don't even have to worry about my father. The activities are great. My father exercises 6 days a week, only chair exercises but still, that's great! They have at least one special night once a month like casino night or a luau. I think they're very thorough. I visited at a minimum 5 places and when I pulled up and did the tour I knew this was the right place. It just great. They have formal dining at every meal and their food is absolutely wonderful. They rotate their menu every 4 weeks so it's not monotonous the residents. I adore the place.

I thought the staff was very helpful and very friendly, they always seem to be very upbeat, how they answer the phone and answer any of my questions or address any concerns I have; it seems like they really care about what they're doing. Even the people that live there are friendly, you walk in and they come up and say hi to you, it's a very welcoming atmosphere. My aunt knew one person who was here and they were very willing to accomodate her so she and her friend could sit together which helps to get her to get out of her room. The atmosphere of Atria is entirely different from any place she has been before and you don't get a feel for it until you talk to them on the phone and experience it. They're very helpful and they make the family feel comfortable as well as the person living there.

Great location, balconies, $2700 with a $2500 community fee - put down deposit for first floor room

Compared to some of the other places that we looked it, this was by far the best value. My dad is the one that's actually living there. I know there's all kinds of activities but he very rarely participates in them. We've been trying to encourage him but to date we haven't been successful. I know they go on trips to ball games, they do card games, exercise programs - several things. They put out a calendar each month with all the activities. There's a bunch of stuff for them to do. I think they've got a garden club. We just have to get my dad into him. He walks a lot. The best thing that I liked, but they've recently discontinued it is they had a guest apartment where family could come and stay. They recently rented that out but that would be awesome if they would bring that back. Otherwise the place is fantastic!

This place is beautiful. It has a lounge and a small movie theater. Several dining areas. Very nice. Well staffed!

My mom's doing great! She's better than I ever would have expected. The staff are always smiling. Everyone is so nice. The value is great. it's very reasonable for her level of care and that was good. I would say the care is good. sometimes they're a little short staffed and emergencies happen that can't be helped. The activities are great. Mom plays bingo and trivia and goes on outings. It's really done wonders for her! That was our first choice and we fell in love on the first tour.

It is a lovely place full of people who seem very old and handicapped. I am still very active and do not think I could be happy there.

We never had an official tour there but we walked around a little bit on our own. I was very impressive. Later we saw another Atria and the minute we walked in we could tell it was owned by the same people. It had that same feel. It was very elegant and nice.

You name it they've got it. They have crafts, bingo, movies, a swimming pool, a putting green, they go on trips. It's pretty well rounded. I'd like to live there to be honest. The food is excellent and the thing that we noticed when we went on the tour is they know the residents names and they say hi by name. The only issue we had was a miscommunication between the level of care and that was resolved with in a week. There's no medicine cabinet and no drawers in the bathroom that's just the one weird thing but the rest of the facility is fantastic, I think. The other nice thing about them is you can dine from 7:30 am to 7 or 8 at night. It's not a set meal time and they have something called The Grill and that's lunch and dinner with an established menu. They have a movie theater that they show movies twice a day everyday. They have a bar which is pretty nice. The biggest challenge is finding your way around but once you get your pattern established you're fine. It's very elegant.

The parking lot is pretty uneven. They have lovely trees and that's one of the reasons we love the place but it's a little hard for the elderly walking around on the uneven surface. One of the really great things that we love about is the wonderful staff and that the management feels open to come in and talk to them anytime. I think that carries through into the enjoyment of the residents. It feels like a happy place and a positive environment. People are happy and friendly and I'd say that was probably the number one thing that makes it a great place. My dad enjoys the men's related activities. They have men's club, men's brew club, and poker - a lot of women do that too. He also likes the musical events there.

My daughter's father-in-law has been there over a year and we're so impressed with it. He's really really happy there.
