Atria

Poor management. Some caregivers are great and others not so much. Very short staffed. Caregivers are overworked it. Residents don’t get the care they are paying so much money for because of lack of staff. Many residents are inappropriate for the facility because they are too heavy and caregivers have gotten hurt. Also a few residents in LG are verbally and physically abusive to other residents and staff.

My mother moved into a 2 bedroom apt. in Independent Living. The apartment itself was great but residents were not friendly and remained in cliques. Mom has always been a social person and has had many friends so this was not her fault. She had to move to the Assisted Living area there after 2 months due to a fall and needing more help while she healed. Staff there were friendly at first, then things went downhill, due to the head nurse in that area. She refused to let staff wheel Mom to meals which were on another floor, Mom was chastised that she was fully able to walk herself, which she wasn't, due to broken bones. Staff actually were mean to Mom several times, refusing to help her when she needed help. She was found unconscious a couple of times, and when moved to a rehab facility, we had had enough of the treatment she got there, and moved her directly into a different facility once she was released. Others have followed us and are leaving Atria. We had high hopes for Atria, but soon learned we had chosen the wrong place. (The head nurse there has now been fired.) (She is extremely happy where she lives now, has MANY friends there, and enough activities to stay busy. Staff there are great and always are willing to help.)

The level of care promised was never delivered. They do not have the proper staff with the proper credentials or experience. The sales person will say yes to about any question you ask, so buyer beware! They were not equipped to handle my mom and we had to move her out of their only after a few months (and two falls later). If you are a single person with good mobility and able to drive, I would recommend it. But, any higher level of care beyond medication management is asking too much of this facility.

my aunt no longer resides at Atria. the care givers were just okay. services not rendered for charges. the management was terrible. never available to answer questions or responded with "that is not my job". did not return calls or emails. had to contact atria's corporate office. issue not resolved. my aunt was hospitalized for two weeks and atria charged her care fees when service was not provided. questioned charges and a small adjustment was issued. understand this is a business and atria's goal is to make money. did not feel atria cared about my aunt's welfare.

Billing practices at Atria were curious. [Name removed] put in her 30 day notice to leave after one month at Atria. She's already out of there - and happier at Pacifica right down the block.

Too expensive for what you get. Advertised as Independent living, however Assisted living residents are ever increasing. Culinary is advertised as top of the line...however the "chef" is not a Chef and precooked/frozen entrees desserts that are just below Swan TV dinners is not a good culinary experience.

There is not enough nurses at night here, definitely understaffed. Father had an issue and it took forever for a nurse to come. Was no way to send him to the emergency room by myself. If you want your loved one in jeopardy, stay here. Everything with elderly people happens at night, I felt helpless. Place clean and hotel looking.

I moved my 94 year old Aunt and 88 year old Uncle into this facility in July of 2017. In February, 2018, I requested that my Aunt be moved into their memory care ward. All was set, room chosen, furniture ordered and due to be delivered, when the afternoon before the move, the non-licensed nurse called to say my Aunt was evicted because she required two people to transfer her. Her assessment was made after two emergency hospital visits the week before, one due to AFIB, second due to a second fall after being released from the first hospital visit. She had not fallen previously, was walking in the hospital, so had leg strength. Now that she was on blood thinners she fell and was afraid to walk, and she was on pain meds making her fatigued. Instead of giving her a chance to build her strength, Atria kicked her out of "the last home she would need to move to", according to the sales woman when we signed up, just seven months after they moved in, one month after the $8,000 move in fee was non refundable. At no point did this facility show compassion or empathy once they decided to evict a 94 year old woman. So, apparently, if you are healthy, you are welcome to spend $10-20,000 per month at Atria Foster Square. If you become weak, you're out on the street. Meanwhile, at the new facility my Aunt and Uncle were forced to move to, my Aunt is being transferred by one female caregiver multiple times per day, receiving better care and being given physical therapy. Before deciding upon an assisted living facility, contact CANRH, or other elder care advocates and the State Ombudsman. There have been two fall deaths at this facility that should be inquired about.

This use to be one of the nicest senior home in Scottsdale but since new ownership of Atria (large corporation) it has gone downhill fast. The major issues are: 1. The food is absolutely awful. New chef but worse than ever . 2. They increase prices by over 7% per year. Poor value. 3. Management makes promises to upgrade the home but don't deliver. 4. This use to be mostly independent living with a separate section for assisted living. Now they try to upgrade you to their "Legacy" program which cost $500 more per person and offers inadequate staff that just roam the hallways with 2-way radios. 5. the dining room is packed with wheelchairs and walkers and it is dangerous for residents to walk through because it was not designed for this purpose. 6. There is always a shortage of staff so the current workers are overworked. Turnover is high. The only redeeming element is that they do a pretty good job with events for the residents. It is very sad that such a prestigious property has gone down hill so quickly. I would definitively would not recommend it unless you have a very large budget and can put up with horrible food.

I have only had experience with the LG/memory care and so my review only applies to that portion of the Carrollton facility. My father has been a resident for several years, and the staff that cares for him, has without exception, been outstanding. The management is like a revolving door. I have seen five directors come and go and it seems like the good ones leave sooner than the bad ones. LG only has 10 residents now and I think it's because of management. It's very difficult to move a memory care patient, but families are finding a way to leave, that's how bad it is.

My husband and I toured Atria Copland while looking for a new place for ourselves. We did not lake this community at all. It seemed more like a nursing home than a community. It was too institutionalized, and my husband was not comfortable here.

The staff at this community seemed nice. I was not impressed with the food and they only offer one meal a day. I had some issues with the amount they wanted to charge for a room and to give her medication. The community seems clean and they only offer a few activities.

Very unhappy with Atria Las Posas. My mother has been there for almost two years and the quality of care has really gone down. I went to visit her today and her clothes smelled of urine and her bedsheets had not been laundered for 2 wks! Her cotten bedspread was soiled as well. Ironically, they also raised the rates and insisting that she be upped to level 3 care at almost $6.000 a month. she does not have dementia and is ambulatory. Seriously thinking of moving her!

agree that they promise lots more than they deliver. don't believe it! some of the positive reviews are based on tours and visits, not actual experience of a resident or family. that's not even valid. all they're interested in is raising fees and adding extra services that should be included in standard care. money hungry! very poor responsiveness from top management; calls or e mails not returned. barely include families in any activities as in most other facilities. they just do what they want and don't answer to any one.

Management is more interested in the bottom line than the best interest of the residents. The Resident Director and GM are very dismissive to family concerns. They will do a hard sell and make lots of promises that they never intend to fulfill. Don't be fooled by the promise of memory care.

Quality of care has gone down hill rapidly over the past year. Constant staff shortage particularly with housekeeping which is very distressing. Half the staff is overworked. Half does not do much. A lot of room for improvement. Not nearly as much "assistance" as you are led to believe.

We certainly wish that the super friendly pie-gifting gracious Atria Westchase welcome at sign -up and move-in continued once loved one is full time resident. My father is wheelchair-bound and requires the highest care level for all activities of daily living. The Atria resident wearable call button system was touted as the centerpiece of their approach - "all calls must be answered in ten minutes and and caregiver response times always monitored." The reality is the opposite: most night calls and nearly all Sunday calls and many morning calls are totally ignored by caregivers who must work two jobs to survive. This leaves my father helpless. Until a family member arrives Top management is unpleasant and defensive and disinterested when failures reported. I guess their hope is you will stop reporting care failures if they make the experience of doing so miserable enough. Looking for another assisted living facility. Ready to move my father,

totally agree that director or most management don't really care about residents, only about profit. nursing staff inadequate. checked out some online...what an eye opener... they do not encourage socilaization among residient. little communication with residents & family all in all very mediocre - less than average

My mom has lived in several assisted living facilities in different states....This is by far the worst....she has never settled in...caregivers have been rude to her....They were overcharging her and I could never get the person in charge of billing to call back....

I visited the Atria Grand Oaks a few weeks ago. I was interested in a residence for my elderly father after my mother passed. I was shown around by Whitney. I didn't feel that she was in-tuned with my fathers needs and interests. I was shown the pool after I expressed that my father doesn't swim. I was invited back for lunch with him but didn't end up revisiting. The community had a cold vintage like feeling. I didn't feel that the programs offered would satisfy dad's interests and the food on the display for lunch was a hot dog that looked bland. He enjoys programs other than bingo and jewelry making. Whitney mentioned a discount and said I should leave a deposit after she informed me that they had many vacancies. I decided to move dad to Hillcrest instead. The atmosphere felt just right and I was impressed by the diverse program offerings and the friendliness and warmth of the staff. They even have a 24 hour cafe which dad loved.
