Atria Willow Glen was very thorough on the pricing, their activities, and everything that they do there. The grounds were beautiful. They have a koi pond and a swimming pool. They have a lot of nice people walking around. The lady introduced me to the staff and she showed me the type of room that I might be interested in (we were interested in a studio) it was very spacious and very neat. Everything was clean and tidy. I'm really pleased about that compared to the other ones that I went to. It had a very nice carpet (no stains) and a little balcony. This particular room was upstairs and it had a vaulted ceiling, which made it very nice and spacious. It's got a kitchenette so there's a medium-sized refrigerator, a microwave, lots of cupboards, and a stovetop. It's got a very big closet and right when you entered the door, they had another two closets on each side. The bathroom was very spacious. It's not wheelchair-accessible into the shower, and it's not flat, but the step was enough that you're not going to trip on it. They were updating all the rooms and that room I saw looked beautiful to me. I think it looked nicer than a hotel. The lady then offered us to have a meal, but we just didn't have the time to stay. So, she gave me a monthly menu of what they eat every day. They also have exercises, all kinds of classes that you can take, a TV area that had a huge 70-inch TV, a dining room, a card room, and a person that comes in that does the hair and nails for a small charge. One thing that stood out so nicely to me, as they give you two sets of sheets and towels and they come in and change them out twice a week. I liked that a lot and the price was reasonable considering all the amenities you get. I highly recommend it. Willow Glen is a nice area, too. So there's a lot of walking that you can do within the complex. There are beautiful trees and bushes. They have transportation for you so I think it's going to be a good fit for my mother.

I toured this community looking for my mother-in-law. She currently lives in a home with a big backyard that she enjoys and it's important to her to find a community with outdoor space/gardens. Atria Willow Glen definitely fit the bill. It's a beautiful community, lots of mature landscaping and a lovely resident garden. A huge plus is all of the apartments have a balcony or patio. It's an older community but everything is well cared for and everyone we ran into was welcoming. This is a top contender for sure.

My mom moved into Atria Willow Glen a month ago. Everyone was very friendly, very knowledgeable, and took us around on a tour. It went very nicely and smoothly. They have an area where you can make an appointment to get your hair done and your nails done. They have a pool and the main room where they have entertainment and a crafts room. They have a very nice dining room. The food was delicious and so the choices were excellent. My mom loves the food. They have bingo, a book club, movies, and live music. They have Arts and crafts, people playing cards in one of the activity rooms, puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, exercise classes, and they have outings, like field trip type outings. The residents here are very friendly too.

My mother is very well attended. They know their residents, her and follow up on her needs by providing preventative care. They are always aware of her whereabouts and following up. Her room/apt. warm and comfortable and is in a studio. It has a slider and patio area. They have a pool and waterfall fish ponds with sitting areas, beautiful natural landscape, fruit trees, gardening, roses and lawn areas. She enjoys her daily activities and routines. They provide exciting activities for mental and physical exercise, and entertainment. They are very responsive to her family. I know my mother is safe and her needs are being met. For me Willow Glen is home away from home for my mother.

We moved my Dad to Atria Willow Glen and he was initially a reluctant resident. It was a huge change for him...coming from San Diego to the Bay Area, knowing only my family and leaving friends behind. However, from day one the staff and residents really took him in. They reached out to him to include him in activities, invite him to meals and just check in on him. Very soon he was attending several activities a week, raving about the beautiful grounds (he was an avid gardener) and also had a posse of residents that he ate every meal with. We were grateful for the outreach, engagement, and compassionate staff and residents at Atria. I highly recommend this community!

My grandmother has lived at Atria Willow Glen for the past three years. After my grandfather died she moved here from New Jersey to be closer to us. It was a big change for her but she has been very happy living at Atria. She's made some great friends, she enjoys not having to cook and her favorite class is their water exercise class. We are happy to have her near us and we enjoy visiting her and spending time enjoying the gardens and pool.

My mom was at Willow Glen for a few years before she passed, and I'm glad she was able to be with her friends. She was isolated at home and after moving to Atria she became a social butterfly. She loved meeting other women at the activities every day and started developing a core group of friends that she loved. My mom's last year was one of her best, and I thank Atria for that.

My father-in-law lived here and had an amazing experience. The community of residents and employees was warm and welcoming. There were countless activities to keep him engaged and he loved the food. Our favorite part was the campus---several acres of beautifully landscaped grounds with a pool and koi pond. Atria Willow Glen provided a wonderful life for him and we are grateful!

Atria Willow Glen was outstanding, and we liked it a lot. The place was absolutely beautiful, and the lunch we had there was excellent. But my sister has mobility problems, and it required a lot of walking, like going outdoors to get to meals or just to get around there. What if it rains and she still has to go outside to get somewhere? What if she slips and falls? That's the only thing we had against this community, but they couldn't have been nicer to us.

I went to Atria Willow Glen. The tour was terrific. Everybody was very nice. It was very clean, and it just seems like a very nice place. The food looked nice. However, my parents are not interested. They showed us some activities and asked us some questions regarding my parents' interests. They were very thorough and very nice.

I think the landscaping at Atria Willow Glen is very nice. It appears to have a friendly atmosphere with a very good crew. I have been visiting friends here, and they are happy. One of them is already deceased, and the other one is still there and she loves it. The food was good.

My mom moved in Atria Willow Glen last September of 2012. It's very clean. Both residents and staff are nice. She stays in a 1 bedroom 1 bath accommodation with a full kitchen. She brought her own furniture. Food is okay, better than what she would be eating if there's no restaurant there. There are all kinds of activities, exercise, a shuttle that takes them outside, entertainment, choir, games and movies but she doesn't participate in any of that.

Atria Willow Glen was probably a little bit younger and bigger community for my parents. My parents and I had lunch there and I thought lunch was really nice. There were more to choose from their menu. The dining room was packed. Everybody just looked really happy and socializing with each other. They were just pretty friendly. We didn't have much interaction with the other staff though they seemed to be very nice, but their wait staff was great. Accommodations were okay but they were not as nice as the other facility. They are just basic. They took us into a room and they were putting on a gate at the back of it because it has a little enclosure like a patio. The room has a kitchen, very simple, not updated at all. Because they are independent, they have more activities going on. It reminded me more like a senior center. The only downside for us for this facility is it's location. All three of us, their children, are all living in Santa Clara, so this place was just too far from us.
