The Atrium has been a great experience so far, occasionally the staff may have a slight attitude but what they lack is made up for by the communities environment. Our loved one has a blood sugar issue and she has been really happy with the meals it is a big improvement. She is engaged a lot more and is surrounding herself with some really great people. The activities are good.
