A wonderful place for mom!

The place is gorgeous. My 95 yr old mother in law had a stroke and went from hospital to short term rehab. We were looking for a place for her and your organization suggested the village. We talked several times to [name removed] who shows you around and shows room and everything involved . Since we thought she would continue to improve we placed her there. Gave her a nice place to live . Shortly after she moved in she started having another medical issue. She started to deteriorate. We were going to move her because they don't do medical care except for medication. But [name removed], the executive director, talked to us and gave us a couple of options so we could stay. One suggestion that he and her doctor thought was the best for her was to call I. Hospice and they would work with hospice for her care. We were greatly relieved. Another person, [name removed], ( I don't know titles) but she helped us with move in process and was so wonderful! She assisted us and looked out for us throughout my mother in laws stay. Before mil got so ill all our encounters with everyone were so very pleasant... from housekeeping, dining room workers, maintenance and the residential aides. Mil was unable to speak so everyone was kind , gentle and caring. Initially cost was much less expensive than a nursing home which was a good thing. As mil needs grew so did cost but still no more than many quality nursing homes. Mom has passed now but we stink miss going there because the people were so very friendly and nice.

Memory Care
June 11, 2025
An excellent place for clients who need a higher level of care than the average memory care unit.

My father-in-law has a rapidly advancing case of dementia, both vascular, and that brought on by years of alcohol abuse, and deteriorating motor coordination. He requires more hands on care then a normal memory care unit can provide. Additionally, he was demonstrating some aggressive behaviors while his meds were being adjusted that the staff is better trained to handle. The client to staff ration is lower here than at a normal memory care unit and there is a nurse that is exclusively dedicated to the wing she is assign, so the care response time is better. Additionally, there is a nurse on call after 7pm. And senior memory care is all they do.

The best decision we made for our mother

Everything is a 5! Benchmark exceeded all of our expectations. The staff is amazing! They had really compassion and empathy for those suffering from Alzheimers and their family. At the end of my mother's life, the staff, especially [name removed] and [name removed] were so kind and basically held our hands during this time.

Excellent choice for our mom

Over all we are very happy with our choice. My mom attends all activities and is kept busy all day. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Everything is very clean. Mom is content. The rooms in memory care vary in size, moms is a smaller one but she doesn't spend much time in it anyway, it's more than adequate.

Highly recommend The Atrium for memory care

The facility has a great set up for memory care. With all the resident rooms attached to the large common area, I feel better knowing my mom's room is so close to the common area where all of the aides are. The staff is very attentive and caring. They do a great job of keeping the residents busy and entertained.

Mom is happy

It is a very friendly, caring residence and the residents all get along with each other. The staff knows everyone by name even the family members. They make a point to remember people and guests. They have entertainment weekly (guitar players, singers, piano players, dancers, and memory games). There is always music playing in the common area and the residents love it. They have bus rides twice a week for those who want to go. They take short trips to the beach and other scenic places and stop at DD for refreshments. The residents can walk around the residence if able and go back and forth to their rooms if not interested in the activities. In warm months they sit out back in the patio area for fresh air, entertainment and snacks. I love the place for my mom and she said she's happy there.
