My mother is 99 years old and has been at Atria West 86 for approximately 2 months now. She says it has been a godsend and that the staff is wonderful and takes excellent care of her. She loves the food and enjoys going to the dining room three times a day. Her apartment is comfortable and cozy, and she is happy to be there. Special.shoutout to the nurse and wellness team, who have done a beautiful job of bringing her medications to her,.escorting her to meals, and answering all of her questions at any hour of the day or night. Heartfelt thanks to Atria West 86th Street staff for making her transition to assisted living as painless as possible, and for keeping me informed and reeassured throughout her adjustment process....

when I phone my aunt she is always busy doing activities or out and about with the leaders off to a great adventure to a park or shopping square. When we speak to her she always has so many things to share with us about her day. We are glad she chose to live at Atira

I have no complaints about this place! My mother has been so happy at Atria and has made new friends. She really enjoys the volunteering program they have since my mother has always given back to her community. She also enjoys the Good Dog Foundation that brings in dogs for all the residents to socialize with.

My mother lived at this facility for several years. She never complained and was always happy to be living there. She was quite the joiner of their activities and my family and I often joined in some festivities there. All the staff were caring and loving to my mother.

My experience at Atria has been nothing but positive. The food is great the company of my neighbors is better. I enjoy the concerts and the happy hours and the outings. I'm a quiet guy but have made lots of friends over the years and I always feel at home.

I have limited mobility that made it very difficult for me to stay in my walk-up apartment building. I was so grateful to have found a place in the neighborhood I know and close to my friends and family.

This was a no brainer, I moved here as soon as I knew of all the amenities here. That I was no longer responsible for cooking my own meals, cleaning my apartment, doing my own laundry, and finding my own entertainment. I made new friends here and we spend a lot of time together.

Since my dad passed away my mom began to grow distant, she lived alone and had a big place to take care of herself which was a lot. She was shy at first and it took a few months for her to finally open up. She completely transformed and is now the leader of a group and joins any program she can. We are so happy to have found this place so close to our home that we can come to visit her anytime.

Comfort is everything, and Atria has delivered. Not having to worry about cooking meals, housekeeping, entertainment, and maintaining a home has been a great relief for me. I am able to focus on enjoying my golden years in a place that has it all!

I feel so comfortable living here. It was an easy decision for me when I found out I would be living amongst fellow professors. The poetry group has been my favorite program along with the dining options.

Glad I made the decision to live in this community. I've lived in NYC--specifically, the UWS area--and Atria was an easy transition for me. I live in the same neighborhood that I know and love, and with Atrias convenient amenities I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything!

This has been a wonderful living community. I feel like I'm part of a family with all of the friends I've made over the years. There's no need for me to venture out to seek entertainment, delicious meals, and community.

I think it has been very good. The location is on the Upper West side of Manhattan and I know the area very well. There are markets and shops near by the community. I find it to be supportive and active. I have had a few issues, and spoke to management about the issues and they were resolved. I would recommend this, and think it is a very nice place.

I would say it is probably one of the best assisted living communities in Manhattan. They can be inflexible with care routines. Whenever the care providers are terrific. I don't recommend for a spouse to live there, if they don't require assisted living. The food is very good. The public space can feel dark and bleak, and they are similar to apartment communities. If staying on the island of Manhattan this is probably the best place to go for assisted living.

It is difficult to communicate with the community. You have to monitor very carefully on what goes on. The food service has been late and my loved one won't get breakfast until 9 or 9:30 am. The housekeeping director was hard to deal with on laundry. Recently we haven't had any problems with the laundry service. I never receive a callback about the Executive Director. [name removed] has always been helpful and efficient. Annetta the head nurse has been great. I am able to speak to my loved one daily via phone. It is a lovely community, but it isn't perfect. I feel the level of care for the amount of money you are spending a month should be excellent.

We had a terrible experience at Atria West, however it was always kept pretty clean. The staff was very agreeably and acceptable when we moved our loved one in, but they were not able to take good care of him. He was often left alone when he needed help, which resulted in him falling three times. The nurses station would not bath him after he would soil himself unless he had a bath scheduled for that day, and if there was no bath scheduled for that day he would sit in his soiled clothes.

We chose Atria west 86 because of the location. The room sizes were good. I don't know if they ended up being the best for my husband based on the care that he needed. I would not recommend Atria west 86.
