My mom lived at Atria for over three years and she loved it!…read more In fact, we tried to move her closer to where we live, at another assisted living place, but she had too many complaints and wanted to go back to Atria. She often said, "There's no place like Atria!" The current chef is top notch. My mom says it's some of the best gourmet food she's ever had. She said that the chef has been trained well and is the best Atria has ever had in the three years of her stay. She also made really good friends with many of the staff, a few of them she considers like family. We checked around many assisted living places and Atria also is one of the most affordable around. We were really surprised about this because it's one of the nicest looking, cleanest and friendly facilities we've visited. In fact, now, with the new remolding, it resembles a top notch five star hotel. I'd like to thank Atria for providing my mom a great place to live for the past three years. We are grateful that such a place exists and hope that anyone looking for assisted living would give Atria a visit and see for yourself this gem of a place. Sincerely, thanks, Andrew Kong Knight

My mother lived in the independent/assisted living wing at Atria WC for almost a year. She was…read morecontent. One of the reasons we chose it was because she really wanted an outdoor space, and enjoyed many flowers on her balcony as well as visiting birds. The care, cleaning and dining staff was very friendly and helpful to her. However, when I requested that the nurse reevaluate her because she was beginning to need more assistance, she told me she'd visit my mom the next day but she never did. That was 2 months ago, (and my mom passed 1 month ago.) In general the reception and administration staff seemed very unorganized and unreliable. One of the main reasons we moved my mom to Atria was for them to check on her if she didn't show up for meals. They did sometimes but it seemed very casual. On Mother's Day, when mom hadn't responded to any of her many texts, I called for a well check at 1PM. It was too late. My mom had passed away sometime in the previous 24 hours. How do I know? State of her body. No activity on her cell phone for over a day. And with investigation we found out she had not been checked on by Atria staffe since lunch Saturday, despite having not eaten the next three meals. Hopefully my mom passed peacefully in her sleep and didn't suffer as that's what she wanted. We will never know for sure and we are very saddened about about this. We hope other families don't experience the extra grief of learning their loved one has been ignored that long. We have been told staff has had retraining on the check in procedure. I hope so! PS I gave 2 stars instead of 1 because like I said my mom was content and she loved the staff she interacted with. The extra star is for my sweet mom.

Tiffany Court is a wonderful place, and it gave our family great peace of mind knowing she was so well cared for.

Enrique always went out of his way to accommodate our family member's many special food requests with kindness and patience. Marie, although she works in the business office, consistently went above and beyond to help and support our family member as well. We are deeply grateful to the entire Tiffany Court team for the care, compassion, and support they provided over the years.
