The person that led the tour at Atria Park of Glen Ellyn was informative. She was knowledgeable and friendly. The staff all seemed friendly. The facility was clean. I really have nothing bad to say about it. We saw three different floor plans, and they were all different sizes. Everything was in good condition and clean. Their dining area was set up like a restaurant, and the grounds were very nice. They had a nice porch area they could sit on. They also had a screened porch, and there were trails around the outer perimeter of the building. They were having a party in the first floor activity room. There was also some type of a meeting, and they had paperwork in their hands. There were activities going on. The assisted living is carte blanche, like anything you need above that level is an additional charge. If you require more help, then they have it available. They offered transportation. There were physicians on-staff and 24-hour nursing. They had cable TV. There were meals and multiple activities during the course of the day. They did social events.

The grounds at Atria Park of Glen Elyn are beautiful and everybody was very friendly. The place was super clean and they looked like they had a lot of activities. I like that it's smaller, so there are not as many rooms as other facilities, so it's more of a homey feel. The rooms are smaller than the other place I saw, but they're a good size. We were there during lunch so the people were eating.

I liked Atria Park in Glen Ellyn, it was beautiful. I loved their rooms and I thought my dad would be very comfortable in it because it was homey. I liked how the food was in the cafeteria too. It would have been easy for him to get around because the rooms were the perfect size. That would be more than my dad would ever imagine. He hasn't lived that well, and the house he lives in isn't that nice. It's definitely a nice place, and I would have no problem moving my dad there. It's just his income was not enough, and how much it was a little too high for us. We would also have to pay a community fee so it was just a little bit more than I could afford on my own. If I had more relatives putting in and helping me, then we could get by, but to burden myself with that would be too much. My dad doesn't have anything. He gets $2,000 a month and that's it. It would have been a perfect area because my dad used to live right down the street. Originally, we were looking at just assisted living where they would help him, but they actually had him evaluated, assessed, and they said he would need more memory care. The staff member was wonderful. She went over everything and was very, very informative. We had a really nice conversation along with my aunt, who came with me and had a lot more questions. She gave me a lot of brochures and the VA stuff too. She told me a lot of the stuff that could help my dad, and all the assistance he could get, which I thought was great. The eating part of it was great too. I think it was 7:00 to 7:00, so anytime that he felt ready to eat, he could go eat. I think they have a bistro there. He would also have a refrigerator in his room, so it was just unbelievable. It was absolutely more than I thought. My mom was in a home too, and she had nothing like that, so this was a step up. They have activities all day because I saw a calendar and it tells them what's going on. The outside was very nice. I love the front because they had the rockers out there and it was so inviting. They could come out and just sit out there and enjoy the day. Right next door was a big park district where they had baseball and stuff like that. I thought my dad could just see that going. They could probably see it from their windows, so it was a beautiful area. Everybody there was super nice. Everybody stopped to say hi and talk to me. She introduced me to all the workers that were coming and going. They were wonderful, and I felt very comfortable there.

We checked both the assisted living and memory care at Atria Park of Glen Ellyn but we decided my parents are not at that point where they need to be in assisted living or memory care. I don't know how the dementia is going to progress and if or when they would need memory care but it does not look like a suitable place for their current state of health. It didn't seem as if it had the wide range of activities the other places had because those places have independent living. I didn't find the apartments as pleasant either. They certainly were adequate, but it only had a kitchenette, there was no full kitchen. I think it is limiting for my folks. At the lobby, I thought the carpeting looked a little worn and not well kept up. Other than that, the facility seemed fine. My mother liked it because it was smaller and felt homier. Memory care had more security. It had a gated kind of backyard and courtyard area. If you had a person who wandered because of their mental state, they would be kind of secure there. The staff was very nice. The person in the activity room, we talked to her for quite a while, was very engaging and very upbeat. The salesperson also gave us a lot of information. I didn't think the facility itself was quite up to par with the other places we've visited. I thought it could be a little nicer.

I was able to visit Atria Park in Glen Ellyn yesterday. It was great, my mom loved it, but they don't accept Medicaid. It's a wonderful assisted living community and the services looked impeccable. If I could do it, I would love for my mom to go there. She said that's a place where she would love to stay. Unfortunately, the price is acceptable to some but not to others. The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable, and caring individuals. It looks like the management team knew the type of people they wanted to work for them: people who are caring, who listen, and who understand the needs of their residents. That's the most important thing for any community or assisted living facility, and they excelled at it. They're wonderful. I saw their lunch menus, and some of the stuff looks good. If I could, I would stay there. The facility is gorgeous.

We visited Atria Park in Glen Ellyn. The tour was very informative, interesting, and they answered all of our questions. We thought it was well cared for and nicely laid out. It was clean, and the staff that we met all seemed very friendly. They have activities (like having a magician) and they have a theater and a band. Everything was subject to change based on the COVID restrictions. At the time we were there, they were in the midst of reviving some of their activities.

My sister moved into Atria Park of Glen Ellyn. We haven't been there, so we don't really know much. They're on lockdown and we can't go there. She likes it very much and the woman we worked with, Vi, she is extremely nice and helpful. I think they communicate with my daughter through emails almost every day. They couldn't have been more helpful. They have housekeeping, three meals a day plus snacks, and a laundry service.

Atria Park of Glen Ellyn's physical space wasn't as appealing because it was more of an older Victorian style. I knew it wasn't going to feel like home to my mom. The living quarters were studio apartment size; they were comfortable. The buildings were very nicely done. They had a living room and a dining room on the first floor. There was a front porch that you can sit in, which was heated so you feel like you're sitting outside. All of those things were very nice. However, it wasn't homey and wasn't right for us. I wasn't comfortable with the staff.

Very Impressed, clean, airy, welcoming

The general impression is Atria Park of Glen Ellyn is very nice, and it’s being considered as one of the 2 homes we’re looking at. The food was very good. The residents seemed very comfortable, and it seemed like a very welcoming community. The amenities including the hair salon, the fitness center, the long hours for food and beverages, the activities for residents, and the choices and options are all things that seem very interesting and are things that we like that we’re considering.

Atria Park of Glen Ellyn is a little less expensive with less classy things, and it is older. The rooms were not as nice, smaller, and a bit crowded. But there was nothing wrong with it. If I had to live in one, I’d pick the other place, but I would live here also. I found the staff to be better -- significantly better. They followed up quite nicely by sending us a big bowl of fruit, and they have called back a couple times.

It was a very nice trip at Atria Park of Glen Ellyn. The people were very cordial. Food was very good. The accommodations were more than adequate. The staff was friendly and helpful. I walked by the activity room, and I saw people exercising and so forth.

Mom went to Atria Park of Glen Ellyn for two weeks for respite care, and everything worked out fine. The people were very pleasant. Her room was nice, and she had good meals. I have nothing bad to say about the place as everything went very well.

We only viewed the studio apartment at Atria Park; I think we just got busy talking and forgot looking the rest of it. The woman that helped us was wonderful and gave us a lot of information. We met some of the residents that were going to watch a movie to the theater room. My mom did not like the size of a 1-bedroom apartment. She didn’t like the apartment, but the facility was very nice. It was nicely decorated, and the dining room was beautiful.

Atria Park of Glen Ellyn was a nice place. They gave me a good tour, were very gracious, and followed up with me. I would put my mom there.

Atrial Park of Glen Ellyn was very nice and had excellent food. The staff was very good and very knowledgeable.

Atria Park of Glen Ellyn was previously Sunrise, but there was a change of ownership. I thought the food was very good, initially. What I saw is that 70% of the caregivers are absolutely wonderful, and some are a little lax; maybe there aren’t enough caregivers. Mom is 96 and very slow and always felt rushed. She is also the last one to go down for meals. The nurses are very good, though. We chose it because the rooms had so much natural light and views of the park. She was very happy during her first year there, but sometimes they run out of her food selection. They are more expensive, too.

For our purpose, Atria Park of Glen Ellyn is probably our top choice. It is very nice and very close to family members. However, the staff has turned over a bit since we went, and it is hard to keep up with who is the director now.

I visited Atria Park. The staff was very nice, very accommodating, and very willing to show me everything. I really liked the facility; however, it was a little further from my house.

Atria Park of Glen Ellyn was our second choice for our parents. They provided us a tour in the facility. I saw that it's a well-managed facility. Everything is well laid out. The people are very warm and friendly.

My sister and I visited Atria Park of Glen Ellyn and we were very impressed. They were extremely good at showing us everything. We talked to some of the residents there and everybody seemed happy. It was beautiful. They gave us a tour of all the rooms that were available. They told us the pricing, and they offered what they called respite stay where she could just stay for a month -- there's no contract, just a monthly fee. We liked everything we saw -- the rooms, the grounds are beautiful, a lot of outdoor areas to walk around or just sit outside if you wanted. The location was good to Lombard which is where she and my other sister live. She would have her own apartment there which she would love. The dining area looked very nice. The rooms were very good, and they had everything from studio to two-bedroom. Everything was handicap accessible with big windows, so there was a lot of light. They were pet friendly. She has a cat and that's important for her to bring the cat and they accept that.

Atria Park of Glen Ellyn is a beautiful facility. It's in an area that is very convenient to a lot of geriatric services. I'd have to have my aunt go for some ear and dental services, and it was less than five minutes away in both cases. There are a lot of small local restaurants, theater, and shopping where they take the residents. They are close to a park, and the staff is long-tendered, which is something I've always looked for. They are happy there, they like their jobs, and they are really kind and helpful to the residents. My aunt has had complaints about every other facility that she has stayed in, but here she says that they take really excellent care of her, and she appreciates being there. The sanitation is wonderful, and the dining and the food services really are very good.

Atria Park of Glen Ellyn was extremely well-lit and bright. It wasn't dreary, it wasn't dark, and it wasn't drab. It was like walking into a community center where there was a lot of hustle and bustle. There were a lot of people eating at different tables for lunch or dinner. There was a lot of action, and you wouldn't have thought you were in a retirement home. It was fantastic really. A lot of things were going on: brightly lit rooms, brightly lit colors, and a circular location where the rooms were in the outside of the circle and when you exit your room, you only had one option, which is to go forward so you wouldn't get lost, and you would be walking into an area where there was always someone there, always something to do, always something going on, and activities. I was actually looking forward to putting my mother in a place like this. It was excellent. The people were totally professional, and I felt so comfortable I would have signed her up. It was a great place. It was like being on vacation in an all-inclusive resort, and I have no negatives about it.

When I walked in to Sunrise for the first time, they introduced me to the Activities Manager and she was really helpful in showing me around and introducing me to the residents. She also showed me how the events calendar worked and all the different things that were done at the Senior Living to ensure the residents felt at home. Some of the things they included were a dedicated hair salon and wii nights along with bingo and card games from time to time. I really liked the feel and atmosphere that the place has developed over the years. The elderly felt completely at home and the center has picnics from time to time when their family members would come and enjoy the festivities with them. One thing I really liked was that there was a calendar menu up at front so everyone could see what was going to be served and all the staff was willing to help out in any way they could. For example, the manager helped me wash some dishes one time and we chatted about improving some activities at the Reminiscence center for people with Alzheimer's. The facilities were clean and taken care of multiple times of the day. It was a new, heart warming experience overall.

It seemed clean, friendly and the residents seemed happy.

I toured Sunrise for a family member. From what I observed the staff was courteous, friendly, polite, and compassionate. Although the director seemed to be pushing the facility to seem like more than it actually was. Apart from the staff, they have Sunrise signatures which were objects placed throughout the facility which are supposed to be helpful to the residents. The furniture in the halls and living rooms looked brilliant; however, the beds in the rooms and the furniture there was horrendous. I liked the overall look of the place and everything was clean, but felt that it was too crowded: it was packed with furniture that seemed to be closing in on me. But what stood out was the lack of activities. People there, apart from chatting with each other, did not seem have any fun things to do around there. Even if they did have something, I believe it would get to be a boring experience living there very soon. It just didn't seem like the people have a degree of freedom or release that comes with living in a normal society. I got the sense that my family member would be treated more like a child than an adult who had many experiences in his lifetime. The food on the other hand was great. I think they had good meal choices and portions, which included the snacks in between. I did not like their plates or cups or silverware. They were just ugly.
