Review for Atria Tamalpais Creek
I love the staff and their attentiveness and care for my mom. I also appreciate feeling like I'm part of the community when I come to visit. I also found that they were the most affordable of the handful of communities we looked at. Lastly it has beautiful landscaping that feels more like a resort. It's a lovely place to be. I will leave off a star because my mom who actually lives there, is not a fan of the food. But she appreciates everything else. However, I should say, the food I have tasted is pretty good.

Lovely grounds and staff
Very friendly and kind staff! It is pricey but the most reasonably priced we found at this caliber in the area. I wish my mom took advantage of the activities more but she is encouraged to do so by the friendly staff. Also my mom is very picky and she actually loves the food. Last night they had ribs! My mom has made meal friends and sits at the same table for every meal. It’s nice to be recognized by the staff and other residents. I feel like I am part of this community too!

Review for Atria Tamalpais Creek
It just fit Mom best. Right combination of everything. Food (!!!!) carpeted hallways, attentive staff including care workers and administration, lots of outdoor spaces, cost, room size. Other places were either subpar with no visual esthetics or were too grandeur. Atria was perfect for Mom.

Great property for my Dad!
Great property and staff! I moved my 90+ year old father from out of state into Atria's assisted living property. He's been there about 8 months and we're very happy with our choice. I did a lot of research and tours, and Atria was my favorite (and not the most expensive on our list). It was a big transition for us and I could see the staff working hard to make him feel comfortable and respond to the many questions we had as he moved in and got settled. The property is well kept and I've built a nice rapport with the staff. My Dad regularly tells me how much he enjoys his new place, so that speaks volumes.

Exceptional Staff
Very accommodating staff, laundry and cleaning staff is exceptional. Very helpful daily medication management. Food is ok, mostly frozen reheated meals, limited variety. I'm not sure how the activities are communicated to residents. Also there seems to be a desire for some male oriented outings and female oriented outings. Same for activities. Can they survey residents for outing/ activity suggestions?

I Appreciate the Support & Friendlines of the Staff
My loved one loves the food. The food is delicious. The grounds are very well kept and peaceful. We picked this community because of the affordability, location and the amount of services that they provided. I appreciated the friendliness of the staff and they made the transition with filling out paperwork smooth. It's a really nice place and I would recommend to others. And I have recommend to others.

This is the place for Mom
We have been really impressed by Atria. We have looked at multiple places in Marin County for my mom who we are relocating from Florida and from the moment we pulled into the parking lot my mom was enchanted by the beautifully landscaped gardens. Things only went up from there. We met with [name removed] who gave us our tour and we were struck by how friendly everyone was. [name removed] greeted everyone we passed by and knew everyone's name. We found exactly what we are looking for in advancing mom from an independent senior community to an assisted community in Atria and are looking forward to having her closer to her grandchildren in the new year.

Of the three communities we’ve toured this far, Atria feels like the best fit. Atria utilizes strict Covid protocols (visitor sign in log, temperature tracking, hand sanitizer, masks). While the building seems older, it appears to be well-maintained. The outdoor landscaping has been recently updated and looks fantastic. We were able to tour several units. The studios are on the small side but have ADA compliant bathrooms. All staff, including our welcoming sales manager, were genuinely friendly and welcoming. This community is located in the flatlands of Novato relatively close to the downtown shopping area and library. Atria would be a possible fit, if my mom decides to remain in CA.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know California’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about California’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

A Place for Mom has scored Atria Tamalpais Creek 9.6 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
