My mom will be moving into Atria Woodbriar. It appears that they have the level of care that my mother needs. The room we are getting is a studio room, and it is very clean. The facility looks new. All the staff were very helpful. The executive director and a couple of other people have been very helpful, so far. It appears that they have a full complement of activities. It's as presented, versus what we see day-to-day once she moves. They have transportation for the residents, both internally and if she's got a doctor's appointment. They have a pool onsite.

My tour at Atria Woodbriar went very well, and I got all the information that I needed. It's a clean and modern facility that's next to the hospital. The staff members that I met were all very nice. I looked at a studio apartment, they're large, they're very modern and up-to-date. They have group activities, they have very nice dining facilities. It's just a very nice, clean, and modern facility.

I toured this facility on behalf of my aunt and uncle who want to relocate from Florida at this stage of their life. Joseph could not have been more helpful. The facility is beautifully maintained, clean and safe. Plenty of nicely decorated spaces to sit and read or visit with relatives or friends. The amenities are fabulous. I would feel very comfortable having my family members residing in this facility.

My mother is in Atria Woodbriar. It's very comfortable. Her level of care is increasing. There are two sections. There's the normal assisted living, and now there's another phase where they can provide a little more care as she's aging. Our interaction with the staff has been good, but as the level of care is increasing, it's becoming a little more difficult. That's why they're going to move her to another area, where I think the level of care will be increased. The rooms are nice, and she can have her own furniture. They're not big rooms, but they're adequate for her needs. They have everything, computer rooms, dining facilities, a little bar, and recreation facilities. It's full service. The food used to be good, but to her it's not that good. It's an expensive facility.

My aunt came to Atria Woodbriar after several years in another assisted living residence so we have some perspective . From day she was welcomed and well cared for by everyone. The executive director, James, is both personal and professional in his leadership of the Atria Family. My aunt was treated like a celebrity on her 100th birthday and everyday.

I have been a resident of Atria Woodbriar Park for a number of years now, and I have been very happy with it. The people here are very nice and very caring, and most of the residents also seem to be quite nice. My unit is only one room, but it is quite large, and I have all my furniture here. It looks quite nice and it has a view out of the window of the pond. They have a swimming pool which many people use and I have not. The food is fine. I think we are looked after very carefully and they try to entertain us with the right thing, which is a hard thing to do for everybody sometimes. The people that work here are excellent. I'm quite comfortable here.

Atria Woodbriar Park has memory care and assisted living. My mom has end-stage dementia, she should have been in memory care but she was allowed to be in assisted living because we have private help for her, so Atria was very comfortable in monitoring our private-duty people and comfortable with her being in assisted living rather than memory care. She was there for a year, she is now home because she is in hospice, and we are on our last stage here, but we absolutely loved it at Atria Woodbriar. Had she not been so far along, we would have kept her there. She loved it, the activities were amazing, and it was a very warm, welcoming, and really pretty community. Everyone from maintenance to housekeeping to the wait staff in the kitchen knew her. They couldn't do enough to please you, they just went above and beyond. They bring her whatever she wanted, and even if it wasn't on the menu, they would make it. It was so wonderful and it was a great experience. Some communities when you talk to the director of sales or whatever, they really put out a whole show for you and they tell you what you're going to get and what your loved one is going to receive and the kind of the care, but Atria really walked the walk, they really lived up to everything that we thought and more. We had my mom in a different community, it didn't work and it didn't deliver what was said, until we moved her in Atria, and we were blown away like we just couldn't believe what they offered and delivered. The director of assisted living/memory care was amazing. He was emotional when we moved her back home, and that's how he is to every resident. It was so wonderful. He was responsive like I emailed him saying, 'Hey it looks like my mom is not participating? Is everything OK? Or how are her private-duty people getting along nicely with the other aides there?" and on the spot he got right back to me and said, 'let me look into that.' He really was very kind to our private-duty people, and you don't always find that in many communities. He was wonderful with them, and the attention to detail was extraordinary. I would say to my siblings that live out of state, 'It's never a situation that you want to be in for your loved one, but it was the best of this type of situation,' and we couldn't have asked for anything more. It was wonderful and really, really good. Also, it was a hard year last year, and my mom was there for all of last year and they were so good, and they were really protected. They are good in crises, they are good in the best of days, and they are just exceptional. I can't say enough good things about them. In the prior community, my mom wouldn't even leave her room, but in Atria, we would just say, 'Donna music time!' and she was in her wheelchair or in her walker, she was getting there, and she was clapping her hands. There were other Atria aides around encouraging the residents, and she had her own private help, but it's just an inclusive warm and not contrived community. It was just real, and she loved being there. We were so pleased to see her getting out of her room. There were some things that she couldn't take part of, but there was a full calendar. Seeing the calendar events, had she been more cognitively aware, she would have loved all of them but the ones that she could really participate in, she loved, and there were plenty of those for every range of ability. No one was exclusive. This was a very warm environment, and having experienced two different communities, this was by far, above and beyond what you would hope for when you place your loved one in a situation like that. Food was delish. I had dinner several times and it was really that good. The facility was beautiful and there was a beautiful indoor heated pool. They had beautiful rooms like a library, a card table, a TV room, and a fireplace, and it was really cozy and as cozy as you can make it. They had outings and all different kinds of card games like bridge, the music program was great where they had guest visitors or musicians singing, they even had service dogs come in which was great, and a little local farm brought in a baby goat, so they're really very creative about it. Value for money was incredible because where my mom was the first time, it was double what she paid at Atria. Now, she got a nice big room. We paid a little more because of that, but it was incredible value.

My dad stayed for close to 2.5 years. At first he was reluctant but once he settled in he loved it. He loved playing bingo and he loved his three sit down meals in the restaurant. The staff was extremely friendly to me and my family.

Atria Woodbriar is a very large community. They have assisted living and independent living. I haven't investigated the memory program there. I had friends that have been there, and they've all enjoyed it. They have three or four dining areas that were all very nice. The rooms were very nice as well. The staff was very pleasant. It's attractive to me because it's less than four miles away from my home. They had a swimming pool, library, meeting rooms, and a lot of activities. It's a very large complex.

We visited Atria Woodbriar. Everything was lovely. The rooms were spacious, bright, and a nice size. My friend thought everything was very nice. I didn't have any complaints about any of it. Everybody was very friendly and helpful. We observed a couple of activities, and it looked like people were enoying themselves. They had a movie, an exercise class, and some painting going on that day. It looked like there were plenty of things to keep you busy.

My father is at Atria Woodbriar. It's very nice, and it has everything that we need. They do a very good job. It reminds him of his home in Florida. His room is nice. He has his own living room, and it's like he's living back at home. The staff is very helpful.

My mother is all set at Atria Woodbriar. It’s close to my home; I think it’s nicely landscaped and they have very nice people that take care of my mama. The food is good and everybody is polite. She goes on trips; if I am around, I take her to doctor’s appointments or they will take her. I will recommend it to anybody in this situation that I’ve come into.

My father is in Atria Woodbriar since November. The people are very friendly and very helpful. They are willing to do about anything. Maintenance comes down whenever he has a problem. It's the same people every day, they say hi, everybody has a smile, and the clients are all happy. It's just a very pleasant place. My father likes it here. We had a meal here, and it was excellent. They are doing renovation in which they had to move the kitchen down and my father is complaining that the food wasn't good. But it seems to have picked up. We look at the menu, and we always see something to eat. They have like lobster, mac and cheese, shrimp, and fish. It's a wide variety. But when he looks at the menu, he doesn't like it. He's 92; he complains. But the people are just really great.

We loved Atria Woobriar; it’s a very nice place. The one thing that we didn’t like was the bedrooms; we saw they were not big enough for a double bed -- only for a queen size I think. We had to have our meals from menus which we don’t like at this point. It was very nicely maintained and pretty, and the staff was very nice. We couldn’t find a parking space as the parking lot was totally full when we visited.

We have very mixed emotions about Atria. It’s a beautiful and clean facility. Unfortunately, since it’s a brand new facility, things are constantly breaking down, but their real issue is nobody there seems to listen to anybody. Residents have questions and complaints, etc., and they’re generally not addressed. They’ve been asking, since it opened almost a year now, to at least vary the menu a little bit, but they never vary. They always claimed that you can have anything you want to eat, but the menus are always the same. So it’s the little issues like that, and the messages that are left are not often passed on. The head nurse is very bad at returning calls, so it is to me a mixed emotion. The people are very nice and friendly. The aides are wonderful and everybody is very pleasant. It’s a nice place, but there are all of these underlying issues that don’t seem to be addressed and it’s very frustrating
