Review for Atria Center City
I like that my loved one has a clean, safe place with activities. There is room for improvement around scheduling services like medication administration and showers. Overall, I'm satisfied with the placement, and they are adjusting well.

The quality of this community is very high, and it's correspondingly very expensive. I would recommend. The staff is very good. They know and care about the residents. The residents are typical of center city Philadelphia senior citizens - very well educated and as active as they can continue to be.

My husband has been in Atria Center City since May or June. Although, he wants to come home, I am very pleased with the facility. I wish there was outdoor space like [community removed]. There are restaurants in the area which is a blessing. The resident are mostly interesting and diverse. Aside from running out of wine etc, we enjoy Happy Hour most nights. Atria is not perfect but close to it.

I really like Atria CC, it’s a very clean and well appointed facility; it’s warm and welcoming. The team that showed us around and did the evaluations on my mother and her partner, and got all the paperwork in order, they could not have been friendlier or more efficient. There are facilities that we visited that might be more appropriate for younger more vibrant seniors, but it is perfect for my 87 year old mother who has Parkinson's and glaucoma, and her partner who is turning 80 this year and is diabetic, neither one of them are very active anymore; they have everything they need available to them at Atria CC. They seem happy there, at least my mom does, her partner thinks he doesn't need to be there and doesn't consider it "home" and wants to go back to their old apartment, but that isn't going to happen; there is no way he'd be able to manage, especially without Mom, there alone. He is the one I fear will be needing assistance in the future, medication management and possibly memory care, but all that is available to them at Atria lessening the worry and/or burden on Mom. The ease and convenience of three meals a day and a bistro, all food is covered with their monthly fee, and the happy hour and free drinks in the evening, and three movies a day, these are a few of the things that are big pluses from Mom and her partner. They have figured out the ride service, with advance notice Atria will take them to appointments and pick them up again, and they are easily able to keep their car in the underground garage. And the location... Mom makes it a point to stroll out to Logan Square and the Parkway every day, weather permitting, it’s beautiful. Atria CC is a bit pricier than some of the other facilities we looked at but considering the location, and Mom and her partner were really happy to find an option in the city, it’s understandable. And it doesn't have skilled nursing or continuity of care; if they need that though, [names removed] are right there, so it isn't that big a deal to us. All that said, from my perspective, I couldn’t recommend Atria CC more highly, it fit the bill for my mom perfectly, I just wanted to see her safe and happy, and she is that.

Atria Center City has recently replaced most of their senior management. That may be a positive move based on comments from former residents. The facility itself is very nice as is the food. The care is improving and is the biggest question mark so far.

On the heels of a terrible experience at another facility, Atria in Center City Philadelphia has been a delight. My mother has been living there for about 9 months and is very happy and well-cared for. The communication with upper management has been consistent and reliable, the nursing staff is ever-present and kind, and the food is actually pretty good. At the onset, the sales team (notably [name removed]) answered all of my many questions and alleviated my concerns. Then Atria lived up to its promises. Though the first day of on-boarding/reception was a little clunky, it look very little time for the team there to get my mother integrated; and now she feels like it's home. As a healthcare professional I have been witness to a myriad of settings and institutions and I do not hesitate to recommend this facility to anyone or their loved one(s). 5 stars.

I met the staff and had a tour and like everything immediately. It was the only place I looked at after researching online, and after my visit, I didn't need to look anywhere else. I would highly recommend Atria to anyone!

I would recommend Atria. I really liked Atria Lafayette Hill so I decided on Center City. I compared [facility removed] with Atria. [facility removed] is more expensive but nicer. At [facility removed] I received help moving in and out not so at Center City. The staff at [facility removed] was very personal and friendly. My husband liked it there better. However, I would definitely recommend Atria Center City.

Last month we had the pleasure of touring this fine facility for my sister first I'd like to take the sales team [name removed] and [name removed] for communication and showing me the place secondly I would like to thank the staff for making me feel welcomed. The Bistro was definitely a wonderful place my sister would love being there with [name removed]. The building was a complete delight. When she gets out of rehab this is it.

The people are fantastic, very caring and always meet me with a smile. The front office is very responsive to my needs. Building is well kept and the food is phenomenal! The previous community I stayed in does not compare to this one.

When my sister moved in, we didn't get much direction or help setting up account/billing- literally had no idea about online billing until I got charged a late fee. So perhaps a move in orientation would have been good. My sister is very happy there ! She does participate in some of the activities. Initially we thought there was a walking club but not sure that ever happens. But other activities are good- she loves the trivia games.

I would say it's good for older people who want to remain in the city and have local family support. I would warn them to do a complete investigation of what Atria provides vs. the care they need. This is not a medical facility and they won't even take your blood pressure. If you fall, they're not allowed to pick you up and will call the EMTs and you'll probably go to the hospital even if you're not injured. The medical team consists of an LPN and aides that are not even CNAs. If you're pretty independent, it's a great place.

I would absolutely not recommend Atria- unless it was for someone who needed zero care, and just wanted a nice place to live with other seniors. Facilities are nice, care is extremely inconsistent- staff stretched thin. Care is inconsistent- do not consistently follow care plan, do not contact family when issues arise ( not eating, refusing showers, not getting out of bed)director of nursing unresponsive. Food is very repetitive, but overall good quality. Activities are okay, could use more variety, and more active recruiting of residents. The care staff are good people, but they seem just stretched way too thin- too many residents per care staff member- crazy for the amount we pay

My mother moved here about three months ago. So far it has been a great experience. The property itself is beautiful and meticulously maintained. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The many long time staffers seem to sincerely care about the residents. All levels of care are available from independent living to memory care. The food is excellent and can be enjoyed either in their beautiful dining room overlooking the Benjamin Franklin Parkway or delivered to the residents' apartments. There is also a Bistro for in between snacks and refreshments. There is a wide variety of activities and cultural events available on a daily basis. A schedule is delivered to the residents every morning. My mother loves it here and I can highly recommend it to anyone looking for a vibrant, stimulating environment for their loved ones to enjoy.

The staff are friendly and willing to help, answer questions, and attend to any needs you may express. Housekeeping is good. Communication is good when one entity reaches out to the other. Move in was smooth. Meals are good. Variety is lacking at times ( usually on weekends), but seem to be prepared with good nutrition in mind. One other thing to consider is all the activities there are to keep healthy, active, socially engaged, and entertained. I can definitely recommend Atria Center City Philadelphia as a place to at least consider when searching for a residence for a family member.

1. Generally speaking, food is good. 2. Activities are mixed. Some okay. Most are dull. 3. Nursing aides are competent and helpful. The emergency button is a highly useful touch. 4. Facilities are excellent.

Overall, a very nice place. Clear and open communication. Caring staff. Nice facilities. We picked this community, because of the location for my sister and I to easily visit was one of the major reasons, and of course reputation.

We could not be happier with Atria Center City, they truly are terrific. Everyone there is very caring and kind to not only the residents but to their families as well. We no longer have to worry and stress out about our loved ones care and safety. They have in house expertise staff including OT and PT. The staff are very responsive and totally on top of communication - they will never rush you off the phone they will make sure you are completely finished before hanging up. If you have to have a loved one in a community this is the place to be. We would absolutely recommend this community to other families we have been so happy.
