I went to Atria Longmeadow Place. The woman I spoke with sat with me, and we had a long talk about the situation with both my stepmother and my dad. She was very helpful in giving me insights. She explained the different units that were available and the cost structure. She went over everything the facility had to offer. She took me to a studio apartment and then another one. We walked through the entire facility with her. We walked through the memory care unit as well, and she answered all my questions. We were very comfortable. I was able to kind of poke my head into places, so I felt like I got a good tour and a good feel for the place. I saw a room that had a functional kitchen area. It had a small stovetop, microwave, and refrigerator. Someone that was living there could have the option to prepare meals, if they wanted to in their room. I saw the kitchen area, the living room, the bedroom, and the bathroom. I saw another unit where there was a kitchenette, but you could see it was set up for someone who was not going to be preparing their own meals. It had no stove or anything like that, but it had a sink and a refrigerator. The rooms at the memory care were a little bit bigger in size. They were all pretty much like a studio in the memory care unit. I saw the memory care open area, which pretty much was well-staffed. Some people were doing activities, but they were all together. They seemed to be encouraging socialization and keeping the folks together (if they wanted to be). The people were very upbeat and positive, so I liked that. I liked that you could go right out into a nice yard area that had some walking paths. There were places where people could sit outside. They could go in and out on their own if they wanted to, but it was secure. The non-memory care folks were separated. The memory care and the non-memory care folks had different dining rooms. The memory care folks pretty much stay in the memory care unit, unless they have spouses that are in the assisted living area. The dining area looked great, and the people were socializing. I saw an activity room where they had painting and things like that every day. I saw calendars that listed all of the other events that were going on. People could actually leave for trips outside the facility, and it was close to a mall. People could go out if they wanted. They had a van that takes people out. They had areas if you wanted to read, do puzzles, and things like that. The actual facility itself was great. They had outside space, but I think it would have been nice if there was more space.

Atria Longmeadow Place seemed like a well-managed and nice place to live. They had wonderful food and wonderful staff. The front of it was OK. It looks out to the parking lot. (Although if you're up higher in the front, you would see trees.) I liked more the view from the back. It is more of a bucolic setting. You see a lot of trees, woods, and stuff. It's pretty. The activities they have are excellent. I was impressed by the fact that they will transport people to doctors' appointments at a pretty big distance. The activities director was very nice and charming.

My Dad LOVES Atria! He told me today this it’s a perfect place for him at this chapter in his life! The facility and staff are terrific!

BERNADETTE D. is an aide who is very pleasant and most helpful. My wife says that Bernadette gives the best showers. Both my wife and I take an abundance of pills at various times of the day. Bernadette knows what to give us and when to give us our medications. She helps us keep our apartment clean by removing all the trash and straightening up in general. She has a pleasant disposition and is at all times most courteous.

I took my father to look at assisted living facilities a couple years ago. We looked at several in the area and Atria was a stand out. Not only was it beautifully appointed but so homey at the same time. Residents and staff get along very well and feel like one big family. It’s a very happy, active and upbeat group.

My father-in-law is a resident at Atria Longmeadow Place in Burlington. The place is ideal for his needs and he is enjoying his life there very much. During the height of COVID he was kept safe due to excellent protocols and procedures. I highly recommend this facility.

The tour at Atria Longmeadow Place was very informative, the actual facilities were very nice, and the staff was excellent. I looked at 1-bedroom apartments, the dining area was nice, and they offer social events. It was more expensive than what we we're looking to find.

The residents at Atria Longmeadow Place are all very friendly. I've eaten there a couple of times and in the eating area, the people are chatting, laughing, and having a good time. The staff is very helpful to each resident that is there. If it's 11:00 and you want to eat breakfast, they'll make it for you. They are a little bit more accommodating as far as that goes. They have happy hour twice a week and casino nights, so all the residents are invited and any of the family could come. They have a Mother's Day, and the family members can come to it. Once a week, they take the residents to a restaurant for lunch. My mother-in-law plays Wii bowling, and she's actually socializing. I don't think there is anything they can improve on. They're just very friendly. It's a private assisted living, so the upkeep of their facility is much better. They also do have an Alzheimer's unit.

I liked Atria and thought it was a nice place. The physical facility was very nice, clean, and everything was fine. I would recommend this facility to others. It seemed to fit my needs.

After looking at the prices, Atria Longmeadow was my first choice. It's a very nice facility and the staff were very nice.
