Our entire family, especially our mum, could not be happier with The Atrium - as she says, she has never been busier! There's always something going on, including trips around the area, and residents can do as much or as little as they'd like. We can't say enough good things about the incredible staff - thoughtful, warm, caring and always with the well-being of the residents at heart. Moving is stressful at the best of times, but adjusting from going to a large home to an apartment is quite a change. The staff always make sure each new resident has an "ambassador" to introduce and show them around, and they even change up dining partners to make sure everyone gets a chance to mingle. Speaking of dining, the food is absolutely fantastic, as good as any restaurant, and with plenty of daily choices. In addition, the conveniently located facility is lovely and extremely well kept, with a pool, movie theater and even a private dining room which can be reserved for family events. Mum is a master gardener, and even though she had to give up her garden, she has a screened in porch where she has plenty of greenery, an outside raised bed flower garden, and even a communal greenhouse. If we could give The Atrium 15 stars we would - it is that wonderful of a place!
