About This Community

Atria Darien has served the families of Connecticut's Gold Coast for more than 20 years. Fresh off an extensive renovation and expansion, residents now enjoy a host of exciting new spaces and amenities, including a renovated salon, fully redesigned common areas, upgraded apartments with classic new finishes, and a stylishly remodeled restaurant and cocktail lounge with new furnishings and decor. Eight brand-new apartments have also been added, including two-bedroom options with full kitchens, washers and dryers and dishwashers.

In addition to upscale amenities, chef-prepared cuisine and discreet support from a dedicated staff, residents of Atria Darien benefit from a robust events calendar that features out-of-the-ordinary opportunities every day from conversational French classes and concerts by artists who've appeared at Carnegie Hall to fitness training for balance and intergenerational mentoring, to name a few.

Situated on six acres of manicured gardens, this charming, cedar-shingled residence is conveniently located within walking distance of downtown Darien close to restaurants, shops, parks and cultural venues, and just a half-mile to Manhattan train service.

I have never regretted my decision to move to Atria Darien - for a multitude of reasons..... First of all the building itself is attractive - just the right size - not institutional appearing. The interior is attractive and scrupulously maintained. It's just a very relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Upstairs houses our hardcover library and provides daily newspapers while the first floor is our card room and paperback library. The staff... Where to start... One is nicer than the next. We residents are so fortunate to have such patient, caring, good-natured with a sense of humor folks as part of our Atria family. Personally speaking, I never dreamed I would meet (and call close friends) so many cool people who are not only intellectually stimulating but often very, very funny. We have weekly speakers, movies, documentaries, daily exercise sessions - there's really something for everyone. Not to forget our various book groups (mystery /short story /poetry and biographies), horticulture classes, flower arranging, weekly outings to restaurants, museums, etc. You name it - we have it available to us here. I am so happy to have found my way to Atria Darien and to call this community "home".

My word for Atria Darien is "options". They provide a myriad of options to their residents which is a huge plus. They treat us all as individuals and truly listen to what we are interested in and need (in terms of activities, menu items, etc). They make it work and are always open and responsive to new ideas. I am grateful to Atria Darien for all of the options that they have provided to me. I highly recommend this community to anyone who is looking into senior living options.

Atria Darien is the perfect residence for my Mom, who comes to Darien for a few months during the summer months. Staff is incredibly friendly, professional, and the care and interest management has in looking out for her brings peace of mind. 10 out of 10.

My mom moved into Atria Darien. The facility was very nice and one of the primary reasons we picked it. The condition was very good. Upkeep was good. The staff was exceptional. We had a chance to meet some of the residents and they were appropriate for my mother, people she would connect with. The other services and other attributes of it were very good. I think they were in the high end of these sorts of facilities, you pay for that, but I think you do get very good quality, a living environment. I think the staff and the type of activities that are available at this facility made it stand out. The activities that were important to my mother were card games, the bridge. They had several bridge leagues. They had a book club, a Bible study club or group, and you know, some other types of things for women who are of her age were appropriate, like dance and exercise programs that would be fine for someone of her age. They had a salon. I think it's just that the general layout of the facility and the condition of it, the size of the rooms, and the welcoming facility itself just made it stand out. It's clear that Atria, the parent company, put some real money into this and was keeping it up nicely and it had a good group of staff there. It was just evident to me that it was a high-quality facility. All the rooms were very nice, well maintained, very logical and comfortable layouts suitably sized for the needs of the resident, and in extremely good condition. They had some nice gardens, the building and its facade was attractive. The layout of the various gardens and areas for socialization outside seems quite nice. We thought the food was quite good, and the wait staff was very good.
