Mom seems to be doing well here. She has settled in nicely. She does what activities she can due to her dementia. As far as I know, she likes the food I haven't heard any complaints about it. The staff has been friendly and good-natured very professional. The community appears clean and well maintained.
The facility met our needs for where we were at at the time. Dad needed one-on-one care and we were unable to find a facility that would take him. So what made Atria unique and perfect was that in addition to paying for the room and board we were given the opportunity to private pay for aides who would be with him 24 hours a day 7 days a week. That variable changed the game for us. [name removed] who is one of the main contacts/social workee there was pivotal in ensuring all questions were answered and any information we needed was responded to timely. She was a God send for us...all love

Independent living offers a stress-free lifestyle for older adults. Independent living communities don’t provide personal care or supervision, but do offer generally healthy adults opportunities for socialization and hassle-free living. Independent living services often include:
Many seniors may be capable of living without assistance, but the financial burden of home ownership and the upkeep of the property might deter them from living an independent life. Independent Living Communities offer a good remedy to this situation. Basic tasks such as meal planning and housekeeping are handled by staff and a calendar of recreational and leisure activities is maintained, allowing residents the autonomy to use their time as they choose, free from daily obligations. Along with their daily needs being met, residents can enjoy an opportunity to live among peers, surrounded by others of similar ages and backgrounds. Within the individual units, residents have access to a private living space and a full kitchen, and can even live with a partner if they choose. While policies differ between locations, a number of residences allow pets as well. If medical or nursing support is desired, residents may always utilize the services of independent care providers. There are a variety of expenditures and benefits to consider when deciding on an independent living community. It is important to determine if these services are covered in the service plan: meals, initial assessment fee, laundry, internet access, parking, wellness program, utilities, and transportation. The benefits associated with independent living include golf course, restaurant-style dining hall, private rental hall, security guards, laundry service, fitness center & swimming pool, beauty salon & barber shop, and game/TV room.
