Great experience

Staff are professional and friendly. Residents are warm and inviting. Facilities are well maintained and clean. The grounds are pleasantly landscaped and consistently maintained. Feels like true apartment living. Residents can be social and join in the activities. Residents can have privacy and seclude themselves when desired. Family members of residents are made to feel welcome and are often invited to social activities. My family member is happy and thriving here.

Overall a very nice community but continue to advocate for your senior

The facility/grounds are beautiful and well kept. The employees are very friendly, patient and caring I think they could do more to help integrate new residents into the community. I would have a designated table in the dining room for new people where they could be greeted and meet the other residents and have an opportunity to make a friend. I would also have staff try to make introductions of the new residents regularly to aid in hopefully helping make a friend. The long time residents are "click-ish" and it is pretty hard to break into any of the card playing groups specifically or really connect with another resident and actually make a friend. I also feel that the outings have been reduced and that is affecting the residents who cannot drive. (I believe they only have one bus driver at this time). The food has been sporadic. Sometimes pretty good but they had no hot food for at least a week due to a kitchen issue. I know that Atria is a chain and has other facilities in the area so it seems odd that they had no access to hot food and they only have access to one bus driver for Atria Willow Glen

Great place for my parents!

*Lots of opportunities for socializing! #1! *Good classes for exercising *Overall positive vibe from the residents *Beautiful grounds *Fun happy hours *Holiday celebrating???????????? One complaint: I put some quality, classy, simple, beautiful decorations in the lobby of my parents’ building for fall, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and the residents loved them and complimented my parents! I was asked to take them down. No reason except “against Atria policy”. The residents told me it made their building seem “warm and welcoming” when they walked in. I wish that policy would be amended to allow me to provide joy to my mom’s building.

Grandma’s new home

My grandmother moved into Atria in July. She loves pretty much everything about the community. She’s made friends, exercises every day, joined the choir and keeps really busy. We tease her about her social calendar now and how she has to fit us in. Our family is happy to see her doing so well.

Nice tour

The tour I had at Atria Willow Glen was good. The person we met with was professional, answered our questions and had the information we needed. The community felt different because it’s multiple buildings across acres. It had a very independent feel to it. The setting was very park like.

Considering this community

I visited this community with my daughter looking for myself. It was better than I expected and I am considering moving in the new year. I’m not thrilled about leaving my home but I think Atria has a lot to offer.

Beautiful community.

Toured Atria with my best friend who is looking at community options for her mom. This is the first community we visited so I don’t have anything to compare to yet. I would say the grounds were beautiful, it’s so nice to have all of the outdoor space. It was a relatively cool day but we still saw a gentleman swimming. Lots of people were out and about, saying hi to us and making us feel welcome, both residents and the employees we encountered. It looks like there is always something going on and it felt lively which was unexpected but a nice surprise. Our biggest fear was that the communities we visited would be depressing and that was not the case here. Atria Willow Glen was a great first tour and I could easily see this being the right fit.

Good for patients without behavior struggles

When it comes to the care services, they were completely unable to handle my loved one. They insisted we bring in outside help. My loved one managed to escape the facility. In interviewing other facilities I have come to the conclusion that Atria is understaffed and undertrained (at least in their memory care unit). With the value for cost since we ended up having to pay for outside help 12 hours a day, the cost became extremely burdensome. We have now moved my dad to another facility where he seems to be receiving better care for his individual needs. I think Atria is probably a good place for people dealing with senility, who are calm and gentle, don't move around much and just need someone to feed them and keep them company. But it is not a place for dementia patients who struggle with hallucinations and consequent behavior issues.

Review for Atria Willow Glen

Although my dad has dementia, he is not currently at this stage where he needs dementia care, or memory care... they wanted a form filled out that would say that he had dementia that would make him go into memory care. Atria actually was able to accept him living independently because his dementia is not at the stage where he needs memory care. This was a big hurdle for us.

A friendly and active community

Mom is really enjoying her days at Atria Willow Glen - she is playing bingo, going to the nightly movie, enjoys the fitness class right after breakfast, has gained a few pounds with all the meals and desserts (!), but especially enjoys the outings/field trips and lectures. She’s been to Japantown, Marine Mammal Rescue Center, John Steinbeck museum and a silent movie museum, as well as an Art Festival and other museums. Of course, she misses her old life, but she is making new friends and they are keeping her very busy which helps prevent boredom! She loves the neighborhood and all the trees and hummingbirds she can watch from her patio.

Best Choice

My husband was at Atria for 2 yrs and loved it. He made many friends and enjoyed the community. The staff were wonderful, accommodating, and always made us feel welcome. We were nervous at first but now we know it was the best decision!

Welcoming Community

Looking at communities for my 92 year old grandfather and this was my favorite of all of the communities we visited. Everyone was super friendly, both the employees and residents. When we were there they had live music for the holidays, and residents were singing along which was quite nice. I can definitely see my grandfather being happy here.

Exactly the right place for my elderly mom

My 86 year old mom moved into Atria Willow Glen in May 2023. From our first visit, the staff was helpful, responsive, knowledgeable and incredibly supportive. The assisted living team is excellent. Care is great, staff is flexible, food is very good, and whenever I need help or counsel, I get immediate, experienced input. Atria Willow Glen is exactly where my mom needs to be and she’s safe and happy.

A real blessing to have Mom here!

We have been very fortunate to have found Atria Willow Glen for Mom. The staff is fantastic and since we live out of the area, it is really nice to know Mom is being well cared for by people who have now become family. Yes...the grounds are wonderful but it's the people who have made this a home. Thanks to the staff and adminstration of Atria Willow Glen for giving us such a nice place to have as a home for my Mother. :)
