The transition of my dear friend from her own home to Atria went seamlessly. Everyone at Atria has been helpful and kind, and the support offered has made all the difference. The grounds and building are well maintained. It is also easier to relax at night knowing that my loved one is living where there is not only qualified care but also so many offerings for social interaction.

We feel very lucky we have the support that Atria provides for our mom. The whole process has been smooth and handled with care, which has made my family feel at ease knowing that mom is in good hands. She is constantly at activities and enjoys the new friends she’s made. Being able to visit her in the pub or the cafe is an added bonus!

After touring a number of senior housing locations, Mom chose Atria. The staff has been absolutely wonderful and caring. They understand that my mother has lived in the same home for over 60 years and that this is a brave undertaking for her. It's been nice to see my mother so social and happy. Mom keeps saying, " I feel like I'm on vacation" . Atria staff also understands that it can also be difficult for family because we have to put our trust in strangers. They genuinely care and it is not a charade, you can feel it and see it through their actions.

Mom recently made a MAJOR cross-country relocation to Atria Merrimack to be closer to her daughters, and had only seen the property in a video tour from the west coast. Upon arriving at Atria, she was immediately delighted by the lovely building and facilities, green spaces & well-tended grounds, and the warm welcome she got by the entire staff as she walked through the door. Mom quickly came to love the dining experience, the kind professionalism of the staff, and was extremely impressed by the very high degree of effort made to please residents throughout each day, with incredible attention to detail. She appreciated the strong priority on safety, including the personalized monitoring of individuals’ needs and preferences. The family appreciated the very, very personalized, patient, compassionate, and extensive support and resources shared by one of the directors - John Pezzella - to make Mom’s complicated cross-country move much smoother than it would have been otherwise! Thank you, John!!!!! Mom was impressed by the high priority placed on strong and speedy communication among the branches of the management team. Mom found the group activities to be extremely appealing and varied, and to be inclusive and encouraging of all residents regardless of abilities or backgrounds. She loved how activities appeal to a wide range of interests - cultural, artistic, culinary, historical, fitness, and spiritual well-being - and how they help residents develop friendships too. She feels the Atria culture encourages people to be kind and compassionate to each other. She loves how the resident council allows for input from the residents in matters that affect them. Atria is an exceptional and compassionate place to live for my mom. We are so grateful to Atria for all they have done to assist with a complicated relocation with so many moving pieces! I could never have dreamed such a perfect place for Mom could have existed!
