Amazing place!! I needed to make a quick decision for my Father and Tawni at Atria made it seamless. Upfront pricing with different options you can pick as the car your parents needs change. I can't recommend the team at Atria enough and love working with Tawni. read more

Decent place, they try hard to keep activities going even in the memory care! Staffs seem to work hard. Food seems decent. At dinner time, dinning room gets full with 100 residents and people wait to get a table.... One disappointment is, their bistro is very poor. Coffee and water only! Apartments seem Very outdated.(at least the ones that i've seen) read more

Amazing place for a family member. People are amazing with quality care. They also plan a lot of daily activities for the residents to participate in so each day is filled with fun. Ohhh, they just hosted a Halloween party for residents with staff members and families bringing children to trick o treat. There were booths with kid friendly spooky drinks and snacks. You should have seen the smiles and the happiness on the faces of people there. They provided independent, assisted and memory care. Best all around! read more

We had lots of small problems here, but hearing from others in an online dementia group, I understand that property loss is very common in assisted living and memory care facilities. That doesn't make it okay, but if I am to review this place against others, they evidently all share this common trait. In retrospect, the additional issues I had with them were minor. The big important fact is that my mom was well cared for. I appreciate how special the caretakers are that work at these types of places. It's heartbreaking and very hard work. In memory care they are screamed at and may be physically harmed by residents. They work long hours. Yet, they still watch over our loved ones with great care. They are true angels. The Memory Care and Assisted Living buildings and common areas are kept-up and clean. One other positive about this location is they have activities in Assisted Living that you can join if you bring your loved one over there. God forbid I need a place to live down the road but if I did, I would choose Atria El Camino Gardens. read more

My dear 92 year old mom was at Atria El Camino Gardens for almost two years. She just passed this Monday. The care she was given at Atria was amazing. Our entire family is so grateful and thankful for this wonderful facility. Ingrid, who manages the Memory Care, is truly an angel sent from God. read more

Atria El Camino is a really nice facility. My mom has lived here for a year and a half now, and we as a family couldn't be more impressed. My mom lived at another facility in town prior to moving to Atria. We moved her out of that facility only after 4 months as we were bait and switched and "said facility" did not live up to their promises. Atria has been an absolute breath of fresh air, and my mom loves it. The food is really good, they have a lot of activities every day, and the staff are compassionate and very good to my mom. Thank you to the Atria staff for making this move the best one yet. read more

Atria El Camino Gardens is beautiful. There are many activities and food options which the residents love. Quite a few of the staff have worked there over 10 years and it is such a privilege to work in a community with such a caring, devoted team. read more

After looking at several senior living centers, we felt that Atria had the best to offer for what my grandmother needed. Due to the pandemic, a lot of what they could offer at the moment is limited, but it's like that with all the places right now. The one that stood out to us was cleanliness of the facility. We noticed no odors, dirty carpets or floors, or any trash issues. They seem to take great pride in the looks of the place both inside and out. Another thing that stands out is the food. The sales director told us that there is a big focus on the culinary here, and he wasn't lying. My grandmother absolutely loves it for the most part. She also enjoys the activities that they currently can do during this pandemic. Specifically the hallway bingo, and art classes. The staff are professional, and there's been no issues there. Overall we're satisfied with how Atria has treated her so far, and if she loves it, we love it too. read more

My mother has been at Atria El Camino Gardens for almost two years now. The caregivers are so attentive and sweet. I know some of them have been working there for years. That says something about Atria. Also, my mother enjoys the activities, outings and dining with other residents. I would like to thank the staff at Atria for how they handled a recent situation. There was a new resident who bullied other residents as well as care givers. When he got verbally aggressive with my mother I reported it to the director who came up with a solution to prevent the situation from repeating. My family felt the situation was handled quickly and professionally. And now the aggressive resident is no longer living there. read more

What a fantastic place The Atria El Camino is! My Mom had been staying at The Atria in Paradise in their memory-care section and was evacuated due to the big fire there in November '18. I live out of state and Mom was safely relocated to Carmichael and the Atria El Camino. The care, concern and love that Mom has received from the staff there at The Atria, El Camino is simply OUTSTANDING. The communication and updates during the evacuation and temporary housing at a quality local hotel was stellar. Once Mom was moved into her new room at El Camino, the Atria management had already moved to rent a beautiful furniture set for the room at their cost, due to the emergency, for 90 days to assist with the transition. When my brother and I were able to get down for our first visit, I could not be more pleased with the cleanliness of the facility and the friendliness and attentiveness of their staff. These are truly caring people! Their Life Guidance Director, Ingrid, has told me several times that "caring for Mom and the other residents in a privilege and honor." She means it and it shows. Atria El Camino earns my 100% A+ approval and my sincere appreciation for making Mom's last years safe, healthy and fun for her. Thank You Atria, El Camino... you're truly wonderful people! read more

A dated senior facility but I was impressed with how many of the residents were out and about and apparently happy. All of the public rooms had tables set up with refreshments. The menus looked quite extensive. The apartment we saw was good sized. Apartments include full kitchens, though three meals a day are included in the rent. read more

I highly recommend this place. My mother and I have spoken about possible care homes for her and I wouldn't take her anywhere else but Atria El Camino. Also my wife loves working there and she's been there for almost 9 yrs. read more

I absolutely love this place as a guest for myself. This place has wonderful food. My favorite place to eat and makes me want to live there in the future. Great professionalism from all staff. They treat their residents so well. The place is very very clean. I always feel like smiling every time I go there to visit. The place is so alive and if I could, I would live there now. I seen many seniors in my life and one thing that stands out is I see so many happy seniors at Atria than I do anywhere else in this world. Atria you are so grrrrrreat and I really appreciate the best wonderful senior home I have ever seen!!! read more

This is an incredible community. I am a bit taken aback by some of the negative comments, as our experience the last year has been nothing but positive for my mother. My mother is thriving, the food is excellent at both restaurants, the activities are great, we honestly have no complaints. Most of the staff are tenured and have been there for more than 10-15 plus years, some even 30. If you do your research, their "substantiated complaints" are incredibly minimal compared to every other facility in the Sacramento region. We checked 8 places between Carmichael and Sacramento with a fine tooth comb. They have been nothing but kind to my mom, and she is well taken care of. She has made many friends and her life has turned around for the better. I don't have to feel guilty when I take her home after Thanksgiving dinner anymore and wonder if she's going to be lonely or even worse have a fall, instead I feel proud that she is excited to get home to her friends and community. This is a great place. read more

Well after looking at many ALFs for our dear friend we decided on this one for several reasons. One was the residents seems happy and very social. There are three restaurants (only one is open) and we could have meals with her. Well, they keep saying the 'Fine Dining" will open soon, but I don't believe them. We are not allowed to have meals with her. All this seems like false advertising ....They took away her ability to go on trips to the store (after she went several times) or other outings due to her dementia diagnosis - after letting her go for three months! This is very hard for her since it took a lot of courage for her to go on outings in the first place. The communication from the admin staff has been HORRIBLE! The care staff seems to be doing a great job, which is the reason for two stars. read more

My mother-in-law lived here for several years, including during the pandemic. At first, things were fine, but as her diagnosis evolved from mild cognitive impairment to dementia, memory care at Atria was not an affordable option. I urge anyone considering Atria to do your homework. Review the visit summaries, citations and complaints on the Department of Social Services website: https://www.ccld.dss.ca.gov/carefacilitysearch/FacDetail/347000389. Make an informed decision for you and your loved one. This may not be the best choice for your family. Our story: While my mother-in-law was there, we had several issues. Most notably, it was related to her medication management, a service we added once we were concerned that she wasn't taking her medication as directed. When she returned from a 6-week stay with her daughter, she arrived with a new medication she was prescribed while away. The medication was given to the care team but never administered because they didn't have an FAX from the doctor. Fair, but we didn't even get a call alerting us of this. Instead, the medication just collected dust and was un-administered for several weeks. The medication was an anti-anxiety medication that was prescribed to manage an increase in behavioral issues reported by both her daughter and Atria before she left on her trip. Because she wasn't receiving the medication, her behavior issues amplified, and we got a call from the Director who said we might have to start paying for a 1:1 aid to be with her because she was causing so much trouble. We asked if she had been taking her new medication, and that's when we learned that they needed the doctor's order to administer the new RX. As a result, things escalated quickly, and it became clear that we needed to move her to a place that could manage her individualized care needs in a smaller environment where we could be assured she was receiving the care she needed and her meds as directed. There is a new Director now, so perhaps things have changed. Just do your research and assess if this is the best place for your loved one. read more

They have created a tremendous amount of stress and anxiety to a 83 old man by taking his money of $6079.00, canceled his contract and not returning his money.They cashed his check Dec 28th and denied his move -in for Dec 30th. After asking for his money back, which they originally said he would get a full refund within 15 days. As of today Feb 5th he still has not received his money. After many phone calls to management and corporate office in Kentucky no has the decency to return calls and leaves him panicking as to how he is going to live. This is a lot of money for him. I am just shocked at how unprofessional they are for such a large company that is in business helping and promoting senior care. They are dealing with peoples lives and finances. I see this as financial elder abuse. Contract says they should of denied him in writing. The executive director, or resident service director didn't have the courtesy to call me themselves, they had a sale rep contact me regarding my fathers move in date being canceled. I hope no one else's parents are put through this kind of treatment. It would be advised to check out the yearly rent increases. They are very high compared to other facilities. We have since found him a great place. Be careful. read more

Atria El Camino Gardens is the "happiest place on earth"! Since moving here in March 2016 I've enjoyed the food, activities, other residents, AND all the staff, as well as my lovely living space. I will be 72 years old in November this year and hope to spend many more happy years here at this community. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for almost 7 wonderful years. There are many ways to spend your time here at Atria...the theater, lobby fireplace area, Two Rivers Grille or main dining room, beauty salon, library and activity room, to name a few. You are able to live here independently or with assistance. I'd be happy to talk with anyone considering a move here! read more

please be advised that everything comes out of their headquarters in louisville, ky. staff turnover is high, meals planned in louisville, ky really suck. last minute changes to menu is rather common .... so don't take their menu at face value. maintenance is more of a wish than a reality. transportation is only for lab and doctor visits. think twice before coming here to reside. on-site chef should be sent to culinary school for a refresher course in order to avoid last minute substitutions. read more

I have mixed feelings about Atria. We chose the place for our 89 year old mother over several other skilled care facilities that we investigated. My mother has the beginning stages of dementia, is friendly, not hard to deal with and is very healthy physically. The people at Atria were friendly, the food was nice, facility seemed clean, it was our first choice. On Wednesday, after all of my mother's medical evaluations were completed, we were given the go ahead to move in. Also, if we paid right away, we would secure a special rate of approximately $2500.00 per month plus medicine management of $250.00. On this day, Atria accepted payment, pro-rated for May and the month of June My sister took Friday off from work to complete the necessary California state documents. On Saturday, we arrived at 10:00 to move in as directed by the staff. We had loaded two pickups and an SUV with her belongings. While preparing to move into her room, we were told that a dementia test was required. We ended up waiting in the parking lot for about an hour before we were invited in for lunch. Our waitress was Crystal, and she was wonderful. What we eventually found out was that the medical paperwork from Kaiser raised questions with Atria Corporate Office. Eventually, by 1:30 in the afternoon, the executive director told us that my mother would not be admitted unless we agreed to put her in the "Memory Care" level of service at about $5200,00 per month. At that time, we ceased doing business with Atria,. The check was canceled at a cost of $20.00 and we left- I will update this review if Atria reimburses our $20.00. Back to my first statement -mixed feelings. We chose this place, we were happy with the services. The people were nice, they seemed professional and courteous. But it really was harmful for my mother who effectively was moved twice in one day. It was painful for my sister who worked hard to get this done. We believe that Atria probably knew better and was moving quickly to fill a room. They apparently didn't follow their own procedures. The real rub is that they had three days to make sure all was ready for the move. They should have known to have a dementia waiver ready. We feel a little like a used car deal went on. read more

Unfortunately the time has come and my relative who has lived here for over 5 years had to move due to the progression of their condition. Although it is difficult to transition someone who had such wonderful care, with lots of friends...Atria, and their regional director, Aron Alexander, really helped our family during this difficult process. We wish Atria and their entire staff happy holidays and would recommend them. read more

In my honest opinion most of these facilities operate like used car dealers. Plus the larger the facility the worse the sales pressure. THEY PREY ON FAMILIES DURING A VERY DIFFICULT TIME. My father actually spent about a month there four years ago; was admitted at $3500/mo, within two weeks it was evaluated that he had to go to memory care and the cost skyrocketed to $9000/mo Dishonest shysters.. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BLESSING CARE HOME. read more

This is a great place where my father is staying! Deborah Ahrens and the rest of the staff is very friendly and helpful in this (my first) experience with an Assisted Living facility. My dad really likes it and it's close to home. He really likes the food here too. Everybody at the front desk and the rest of the staff that I have encountered are nice, welcoming and helpful and the facility has all sorts of great rooms and activities. The room where my dad is staying is very nice also. read more

After touring several facilities in this area, my family selected Atria El Camino Gardens as a senior living home for my 90-year-old Father. We have not been disappointed. Each staff member we encounter seems caring and thoughtful and no more caring, nor thoughtfulness could have been demonstrated by its staff than what happened this past Monday. Staff person Michael Lopez was on HIS DAY OFF when he noticed my father standing on El Camino Avenue next to his vehicle which had just been involved in an accident. Michael promptly escorted my father out of traffic, on to a bus stop bench, phoned me, and waited with my father until I got there. He should be honored. What a wonderful, caring man. read more

Please don't bring your loved one to live here. They don't have enough staff for anything. They raise the rent every year. At this time there is no director or anyone in charge. The back area is full of old refrigerators, toilets, chairs, bathtubs and God knows what else has been dumped out there. One of the rooms that I have visited has cockroaches. It takes an average of 1 1/2 hours to be served your meals in the dining room. Unless you are there regularly and trying to care for your loved one you do not know what goes on. read more

With all of the challenges right now, the staff are doing a great job! Thank you for your dedication.

This place is a joke. My mother moved into this facility a while back, she's 91. I was having a difficult time getting through the back "resident" doors because they were always locked, forcing me to park at the front parking lot. The problem is that my 91 yo mother would be forced to use her walker to walk to the front parking lot to go anywhere with me... unless of course I would park in the front, go up and get her then walk back to get my vehicle and then drive back around to pick her up in the back resident parking lot. So I requested a key; therefore alleviating the problem of doors being locked, except now the key wouldn't allow me to open any of the exterior doors. I went to the front desk to ask why and was told they wanted me to sign in. I asked them what the log book at the "resident" entrance to log in was for and they said it's for the residence. I suggested they speak to the non-residents that are signing in then. I asked to speak to an administrator and the administrator changed the reason saying now that it was for "safety". I was told that if the key were to get lost, it would take 8 hrs to reprogram the whole system. I laughed at her telling her it's no different than hotels, electronic locks take a minute to reprogram another key. Oh but the story gets even better... So one day I was going to go by and visit my mother but was unable to reach her. I thought hey! I have a key to her room I'll just go by and wait for her... when I got to her room, the key I'd been given didn't work... as I was about to leave I ran into my mother and discussed it with her. She commented that her key had gotten lost and the key they gave her no longer opened exterior doors just her room... I don't have a say about my mother's preference of living ther but I'd be gone if it were me! Today, May 21st, my mother called me and said the key I left at the desk has been found and was returned to her. The Atria Gardens thinks the key was lost and they are returning it to me. The key still doesn't work... read more

My family was looking for an assisted living facility for my grandmother. We researched online and visited several facilities before deciding to go with Atria. There are a few Atria's in our area, so we went to each of them. Atria El Camino Gardens was definitely the best choice. We were shown the facility by Susan, and she was awesome. She answered all of the questions we had, and made us all feel very confident in the facility as a whole. My grandmother moved in, and she couldn't be happier. She was very hesitant to move into an assisted living facility, but wonderful employees like Susan made it an easy transition. I would highly recommend Atria El Camino Gardens. read more

I just want to express how caring and attentive the entire staff, especially Deborah has been to both my Mother who move in four months ago, and myself as the son of a resident. The process has been challenging due to PERS long term care insurance and the three month deductible period. Without the understanding and one on one attention Deborah gave to us, it really would have been unbearable. What a great place. I would recommend this facility to anyone needing assisted living. Thank you guys Just a follow up, PERS has kicked in and now we can all enjoy the benefits of the planning my mom took care of years ago. Deborah, Aaron (not sure of the spelling) and the rest of the staff have been awesome. Building relationships with every one, my mom now has friends and people to look after her. What a great experience. read more

They are almost done with their remodel. As a home care nurse we have worked with atria when our residents desire a move to an excellent assisted living facility. They have a great staff and wonderful activity and memory care program. I highly recommend if you seeking a place for your loved one to include this among your scheduled tours. read more

My parents lived here for several years and my Mother ended up in Memory Care where she received excellent care until her death. My Father remained in their apartment until he had an accident - NOT in the facility - that required a higher level of care than allowed by Atria's license. Now we have another relative who needed Assisted Living and we suggested Atria El Camino Gardens. She visited several facilities and selected this one. We have received great help on rent, long term care and other financial situations from Debra and the caregivers are great! People just need to realize that there are specific licensing requirements for access, etc. so before posting some criticisms one should check licensing information from the State. read more

We just moved my parents out of this run down pourly managed mess of a facility. At first it was ok, other than the director Deborah everyone was nice, the food was decent and it seemed they had a decently run facility. We should have known after that first meeting with Devil, I mean Deborah that she was not a good person. It seemed at the time that she was making it up as she went along. Little did we know that she would feel as if she was the owner of not only the facility (shes not by the way) but the people who work there, the residents and anyone else who dare cross the threshold. Should you dare question anything she says or does her wrath will come down on you! We were paying for my parents apartment until the 7th of the month even though we technically moved them out on the 3rd. Going back to get the remainder of their property on the 5th we find that not only was it all gone but the apartment had been torn apart. Carpet was torn up, appliances moved from the walls, everything in complete disarray. Nothing should have been touched! We were still paying to live there for 2 more days!! Not only did two seniors lose some of their possessions but they were made to feel as if they meant nothing. Of course to Deborah nobody does except Deborah. Guess what her response was? She said "we have the right to show the apartment!" Show it? Are you kidding? Nobody was showing that apartment after having it torn apart! Completely against the law, but no matter because Deborah IS THE LAW at Atria. I cant worn anyone reading this more strongly to stay away. There are so many options in the greater Sacramento area that are infinitely better than Atria. When we first moved my parents in the food was pretty good really. I would expect bland cafeteria type food but it was better than that. Gradually over the years they had lived there it has gone down hill. Both my parents have lost weight as the food is just not edible anymore. Its not all bad, there are some good staff and some great residents. Unfortunately their hands are tied and they are so grossly overshadowed by Deborah and her negative wrath its had to get any good out of them. If anyone desires to move in despite all of this I wish you luck. read more

My father is 68 y.o. and he collapsed in his home right after Father's Day 2010. After a week long hospital stay he was released with a diagnosis of neuro atrophy (he was a heavy 5-6 day a week, ~6 hard alcohol drink per day alcoholic). At this point he had to move to a rehab facility (Windsor El Camino), which I cannot say enought good about. During his stay at Windsor I took over his med decisions and due to extreme hip page I took him to an ortho surgeon, who found that he had ortho necrosis (an alcohol related item). In short, his surgery is scheduled for 10/25/10 and you have to be out of a rehab/skilled nursing facility for 60 days to restart your 100 day benefit. Subsequently, I had to move him by 8/25/10, so I arranged an assessment by their RN, to estimate his care costs, which was initially $2600 per month for everything. After he had been at the facility two days Atria indicated that he needed much greater care and it would be $6800 per month; that's a $4200 variance. In closing, yes Atria may look nice, but shop around and if your family member needs special care be thorough in doing your home work, specifically if they have memory needs. read more

The food was good when my mother moved here 2 years ago. It has dwindled to no more salad bar and no more meetings with the chef for residents to make suggestions/requests. The extensive rennovations are not being managed with residents safety and comfort as a premier focus. The ceilings are down for months, treasured plants on balconies are tossed out without a care when balconies are worked on, spray paint and spray stucco goes on all day without proper ventilation or protection for residents, scattered cords and tarps are tripping hazards. This facility has drastically raised rents yearly instead of keeping at the 1-3% yearly increase as promised at move-in. Who knows how high they will raise them to pay for all this shoddy construction when it is finally completed. They do not care for the clients they serve and whose hard-earned money they take monthly. read more

It's a dream come true. I don't live at Atria, my 70 year old mother does- in the independent living section. Being a widow and never living on her own before, it was a huge scary step for all of us (4 kids). Immediately it was the perfect experience, my mom absolutely loves her life there, has made incredible friends and is always busy. She dare not complain that her children never call- she's too busy to chat! My mom's one complaint is that her clothes are getting tight from all the amazing food available. Recently she's had some health issues. Words cannot possibly express how amazing and way over the top caring and loving the staff and other residents were. I believe she's alive and kicking because of the care & support she's gotten there. I've shed tears over the beauty of this community. When I brought my mom home from the hospital recently, it's like the whole place just stopped to wish her well, offer help, food, check ups,etc. It was really an amazing experience to see that much love and care in one place- like nothing I've ever seen before. To get an idea of what it's like....a cruise ship that stays put. The facility itself is gorgeous. Lots of activities, exercise, games, happy hour, movie nights, arts, and outings of all sorts, everything from Walmart to lunch to a tour of some sort. They even have pet turtles. I've eaten there myself a few times, everything I've had has been very tasty. Every new resident is assigned an 'ambassador' for the first couple of weeks (?) to show them around, to join them for meals, activities and whatnot. They introduce the newbie to their own friends and neighbors and help get them settled and comfortable. It's a great program that starts great friendships and happy beginnings to what for some can be a difficult transition. I will say I believe they seem to have very high standards when it comes to hiring. Excellent staff that truly seem to care about the residents. If I were old enough, I'd live there in a heartbeat. read more

My aunt just moved in here. She had been living on her own and really shouldn't have been. A few days before her move in she landed in the hospital with a dislocated hip and thankfully the kind people at Voice for Seniors were able to secure her a room at Atria. I was nervous what it would be like, but I was pleasantly surprised. the staff is nice and friendly. The place is really clean, the grounds are beautiful. My aunt raves about the food. They have all sorts of activities going on there. Yes it's expensive and every extra thing means an extra charge but I understand that. Atria does have to pay its staff after all. Let's just put it this way, if I was in my senior years I would definitely be pleased to have a facility like this to move in to. read more

Hate to say it, but this particular Atria SUCKS. Extremely expensive, and they charge for services that were NOT provided. The food is TERRIBLE and they charge family members $11 to eat lunch, which is ridiculous, considering the price of the rooms. We had my mother in Atria Paradise CA but that facility burned in the Camp Fire. They moved her to Atria In Carmichael and this place is horrible. Hard to believe it's the same company. We're pulling my mother out of there ASAP and I would NEVER recommend this facility to anyone. read more

After being firmly against senior living, my father recently made a difficult decision to move in to the independent living section here. This was a scary step for him moving in to senior living...a proud Veteran, three decades as a career Educator with the State, father of five, and as strong-willed and independent as they come! On top of the anxiety of the move, he had three emergencies in the first week of living there, completely unrelated to Atria and due only to previous health issues. The staff and residents ("guests") have been so welcoming and inclusive with my dad, and they were genuinely concerned about his health issues, as witnessed in their conversations with him, the care in their eyes and face. It is heartwarming! Everyone has asked him and stopped by to ask him how he is doing. He is very pleased and is interested in their well being, as well. It is wonderful how this experience is transforming my dad. He has become more outgoing and comfortable in speaking with everyone there. He compliments anyone involved with the food, the service, because he is happy there. It is a safe environment with the level of independence he needs, surrounded by friendly, warm staff and other guests...who he has come to trust. I've eaten with him many times in the three dining areas (think nice "restaurant" because that's how they operate, everything has been tasty and healthy.) Each new guest is assigned an 'guest ambassador' to help to show them around, to join them for meals, and help in their immersion. This is a wonderful program with a culture that starts with great friendships and happy beginnings to what for some can be a difficult transition. The guests here....beyond compare in extending their love and care, charm, friendly teasing, and spunk! They are a part of the Greatest Generation, indeed, with polite social manners and respectful behaviors that we all can learn from. The more-than-obvious very high standards of hiring caring, patient staff in all areas, their on-going training, are so key to this environment. Atria El Camino Gardens' success stems from not only this, but also the orientation/immersion of the guests to foster a caring, inclusive, friendly and a family-like atmosphere. One would be difficult without the other, and both caring staff and wonderful caring guests are in place here! My dad looks forward to each next meal, not only because the food is good--- but because it's a wonderful chance to socialize. Once he told us he might have to move to another dining room because he know more people in the other one....and he had four family members with him to dine! (We were pleased, rather than feeling like chopped liver!) His health had prevented him from attending many of the activities, but he is planning to get more involved as he recuperates. I totally agree with Sam G's review on 4-18-17! Atria is like a cruise ship that stays put! It's a beautiful, upscale facility on gorgeous grounds that are canopied by lovely trees, complete with comfortable outdoor seating around inviting outdoor fireplaces, and located in a nice residential area of Carmichael. I look forward to seeing the pet turtles! Atria El Camino Gardens is worth your serious consideration if you are assessing senior living for a loved one. The lifestyle here is supportive, positive and will make for a viable place to live, with many good friends already in place upon your arrival. read more

We moved my Dad in a few months ago. They have a lot of activities for him to participate in. There are a lot of food option and it's quite good. My husband and I will have meals there weekly. The staff have all been very friendly and they keep it very clean. read more

My mother has been in Atria's Memory Care Unit for over a year. She receives excellent care and is surrounded by a loving staff. We couldn't ask for a better or more compassionate, responsive and understanding environment. We feel so fortunate to have found this facility. read more
