Atria

It's beautiful. The rooms are new, it's clean and for the most part, the staff is friendly. There have been a lot of hiccoughs and growing pains since my mom moved in. My mom was the second person to move in to their memory care unit and one of the last to get her name on the door. It's a constant battle with the medication and them not doing it right. It's a challenge to keep her occupied and engaged. They assured me that they would keep her busy and maybe for and 87 year old they are keeping them busy but for a 68 year old, she has too much free time. It's been a really really rough three months. I feel like I'm fighting with them everyday. They're taking pretty good care of her overall (she's safe, bathed, fed) but what they sold us on is not what they delivered. If she wasn't settled in I would move her. He doctors don't think that's a good idea right now.

I don't want to bad mouth them because everyone is different and every situation is different but it was not a happy experience for me. It's clean and beautiful but it was very small and it's a lock down unit - very constricting. They didn't have any patience. They relied on medications. If he was agitated, pills arent' the answer, and that's what they did. Right away they wanted to push medication. We was constantly falling becuase he was drugged and then the would send him to the emergency room. He went to the ER 8 times which I didn't appreciate because it wasn't necessary and it was costly. I felt like they were just trying to get rid of him for a couple hours. They never listened to me. I asked them to run medications by me and they never did.

My dad just moved in there on Saturday and at this point I don't feel I can give them a yay or nay yet. I can say that my dad likes the food and there are lots of activities. Everybody was putting they're best foot forward (because we were negotiating). It's a pretty place - very attractive from the outside. The grounds are beautiful and the facility itself is very nice and clean. There is concierge. It's nice to have someone always at the front desk. This is supposed to be the leading assisted living in the area for activities. This is a level A and one of the reasons we chose that is that they have a level B only four miles away so if he has to move to a level B i don't have to find another community and my community fee will apply to it. The reuptation this place has in Tyler is that ehy nickle and dime you to death and we're starting to see that now. Also the business administrator is not calling my sister back.

It was older and only had studios. I though it was too spread out. Some of the rooms would be too far away for my aunt to navigate her way around. She can walk just fine but it would have been hard to figure out.

The people were very nice, and the facility was beautiful. The surrounding area was just a little too sketchy for my father in law...

Much too expensive and in a high tax state

Elegant but more expensive. Only assisted living had available apartments.

I think this is the place I went into quickly. Mom was feeling wiped out so I went in and had a fast tour. It was ok, not as nice compared to what we've been looking at. Nice dining area and large theatre and activities area. Bingo board! Probably not gonna follow up.

4/13/2013 Visited/toured. Very nice apartment layout but complex is small (apx 125 apartments) concern is that no separation between 'active' residents and 'impaired' residents. Concern that situation could become like The Stratford. The residents and staff that we met were friendly.

Too expensive. Not sure if 4x day sliding scale could be accommodated

Very nice entrance and front lobby. Really liked the dining room.

Too upscale and expensive.

Close to train station and looks beautiful.

in commercial business park, nice inside, 2 years fund depletion,

Spoke with the director. Seemed formal and a bit stuffy.

Mom is spending the month of August there as a respite stay to see if it is a fit. So far, no towels in room, they did not do her laundry on Wednesday as their sign on room door indicated, and the bedside lamp does not turn on. I'm not sure they provide the level of care mom needs - but still 3 weeks to find out.

grounds appeared nice and rather nestled in a neighborhood. I know it was originally an elementary school, and it felt "motel" like. The carpet needs replacing in the halls, the Drs office smelled musty. The large common room was nice as was the movie room. The rooms are mostly studio, not sure if that will work. Also limited as to which rooms have a kitchenette. The dining room was not as nice as Plainview.

Studio is 3900 plus care. Having a sale for 2990, but this wouldonly last 2 years and then jump up as much as they want.

90 Assisted Liv. studio apts. Life Guidance memoray care. May put $500 refundable deposit. All inclusive rate of $8,595/mo. Cable TV extra. NO MEDICAID accepted; private pay only. After family visits facility, they will arrange to send assessor.

Very nice, second only to Merrill Gardens.
