Thorough and accommodating. Friendly and caring
From the initial tour to successive tours the staff ([name removed]) was very helpful and never pushed for a decision. Everything was fully explained and when it came to decision time the follow through was mostly seamless.

They have painted the interior of the facility in the last year, as well as put up solar panels. My mom particularly loves the outdoor garden space and the weekly scenic drives. It has been a positive experience overall however, there has been some turnover in staff. For example, the sales manager who I initially worked with went out on maternity leave, and the activities coordinator has turned over once or twice. The caretakers have been very consistent and very helpful to my mom, which is important I would say The food or rather the meals have been enjoyable for my mom. The one thing I wish was different is that they paid more attention to diet being a factor with dementia for example eliminating sugar drinks like soda and juice. They also give the residents dessert after lunch and dinner pretty much every day so that's like a little thing that I consider but maybe wouldn't be as important to someone else. Overall, it has been a good decision and a positive experience.

If your loved one's illness progresses, or becomes "unmanageable", you are on your own. Atria can and will require you to hire 1:1 caregivers from an outside agency, despite your loved one's being on their highest level of care. This actually translated to them not care for my sister at all, it was left to the hired caregiver and the cost was not sustainable. The care plan by the LVN is intentionally vague, so you cannot possibly make a case that the resident isn't getting the care you are paying for. For reference, my family is in health care. We asked the hard questions about different scenarios, medication changes, progression of illness, etc. and were assured that all levels of dementia could be handled. This certainly was not the case! There was such a lack of transparency from the sale pitch to the director. We tried to communicate openly and frequently during her stay, to address the issues that came up but were made to feel like a problem and burden. The actual facility is very nice, clean, good food, with top notch activity programs. But if your loved one has the slightest behavioral problems that medications don't work for you'll need to find a new placement asap.

Unfortunately, we were not there long enough, do to health reasons, to fully enjoy and appreciate all they had to offer. I definitely would recommend this community to other families!! As well as your services! You were very helpful during a difficult time. Thank you!

My parents are in memory care, the staff takes good care of them, they eat well and are happy there. If anything happens to them, fall,cut, dizziness etc.. they call me and let me know, if serious enough they call emt's and they let me know if they think they should go to emergency. I am kept aware of their needs and health and I appreciate that they stay on top of things.

The management is very well organized and they all work well together for the well being of the residences. They stay on top of the facility needs. The activities alone are fantastic and vary in different degrees. They make sure the residence engage and utilize the facility in all different ways. My brother feels special and that he is valued.

Pretty solid overall but at times you need to hound them a bit to get answers or resolutions to issues. There has also been quite a bit of turnover in administration so it's been tough to know who to reach out to. Common spaces are fairly tidy but hallways to the apartments are in need of a paint job and the carpets are a bit dingy. Honestly, mom hasn't partaken in any of the activities so I don't have a lot of detail on how the activities are run but every time I ask her about joining one she says that nothing sounds interesting to her.

A Place for Mom was so very helpful in finding a new place for my dad to live. It was easy to get started. I didn't have to do the leg work to find places and set up tours-Wonderful experience! I've already recommended your services to several people. Atria has been wonderful- dad seems happy there and he's saving money too.

Mom has been there only two weeks but loves it so far. Loves the food, the activities, the friendliness of the all the people, and thinks it’s beautiful. She also loves the location and the town.

I would recommend Atria to others. However, this summer their entire HVAC system broke down and the residents had no A/C when temps reached over 100 degrees. This went on for 3 weeks until resolved. I went and purchased a portable A/C unit for my mother and my husband and I installed it so at least her room was cool. This was very disappointing.

My parents really like it at Atria and have adjusted really well. Atria needs to communicate better on reason for assessment increases. Based on the experience so far, I would recommend this community to other families.

I ended up having only four days notice to select a facility and set up the room furnishings for my mother-in-law. The staff went out of their way to set up the contracts, walking me through the facilities procedures and processes, establishing the prescriptions, meals, and care. The care staff were polite, friendly, and understanding. I would recommend Atria. It's such an adjustment for a family.

The in-house staff are exceptional, in terms of bedside manner and maintaining relationships with the residents. The managers are continuously difficult to deal with and get a hold of. They tend to be non-responsive and don't seem to put the resident's preferences first considering they are the ones who are renting to live there. The food is good for a senior home. I do recommend the facility with a couple of hesitations.

Honestly my dad would give the Atria all 5s. He really loves living there and for me the cost is very good considering what he gets. Based on the experience we have had, we would recommend Atria Walnut Creek to other families

A lot of improvement needed. Disorganized, understaffed, overpriced, issues with heating and air conditioning occurred, large annual increases. People and staff are the best however. Friendly staff, and beautiful property with good location. Overall improvements needed in many areas especially facilities, and lacking value comparable to price

My loved one was previously a resident at Atria Walnut Creek for several years and it was a great experience. We were very happy with this facility. I would recommend Atria Walnut Creek to others looking for care for a loved one.

I would not recommend Atria Walnut Creek to others. The staff were friendly, but the managers were dismissive and communicated poorly. My mom was terribly bored at this facility. We moved her to a different place and now she's treated like a human by people who care.

My father moved into Atria of Walnut Creek one year ago. It was a big change for both of us and now Atria has become home. I adore the staff. My dad wears his name tag and likes to learn peoples names so he can say hello. He feels like a part of the community. Moving in was fine. The food is good. There are always special things for every holiday, so we can enjoy Easter brunch, almost like a restaurant. I also think the café is great because it's not the dining room and there are good snack options. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone's mom or dad or other precious family member. And I also recommend that you come and visit. More than once a week, if you can, and get to know the other residents. I really have fun when I have lunch with my dad and a few of his friends. We all laugh a lot. And, reserving the dining room for a special celebration is nice to do.
