Atria Briarcliff Manor

A month in and we are less overwhelmed and more at peace than we have been in years. My mom lived with me until I could no longer keep her safe. Atria has taken over and they are everything good in the world. Excellent, attentive staff. Wonderful activities. A beautiful clean building. I sleep well at night knowing my mom is cared for and safe. She is enjoying her community and is sharper than she has been in a while.

From the moment we reached out to inquire about a new home for our mother - we knew Atria in Briarcliff was the right place! After speaking with Sales and given detailed information about Atria and the application process we went to visit. We were warmly greeted by the front desk staff and then were given a lengthy tour of the facilities - where ALL of our questions were patiently answered. The entire building and grounds are always immaculately clean and in wonderful and updated condition. Once we started the application process, Atria was able to assist with all the paperwork, payment information, insurance, etc. The dining room offers a great variety of daily meals, fun and festive foods on holidays, and has family meals - Mother’s Day was a wonderful (and delicious) shared meal together. Atria was great with pairing our mother with a “buddy” so she was not alone during her first meals and made her integration into the Atria community much easier. Our mom takes part in a number of activities which vary everyday - but particularly loves Happy Hour and live musical performances where she and others sing along. Also, the fact that she can get her hair cut and her nails painted on-site help her keep up not only her appearance but her spirits. Their Wellness staff is always available to us (via phone, email, or even just dropping in) and they take wonderful care of our mother. They are always kind and patient - whether it be providing medication, assisting with daily needs, or a friendly chat. They remain on top of our mother’s care and health needs and always communicate with us - as well as assist with scheduling and transporting to doctor’s appointments. Also, having a primary care physician on-site weekly helps to more easily maintain and monitor our mother’s wellness. Moving from her house in Florida to Atria was an adjustment for our mother - but everyone at Atria in Briarcliff made her feel welcome and extremely well cared for. From the family perspective, we sleep well knowing that our mother is in an environment where he is thriving physically, mentally, and socially - but where her health, safety, and welfare are always a priority. We could not be more thankful to everyone there!

Atria Briarcliff Manor is a shining star in the senior living world. Having visited hundreds of communities in my career I can safely say the quality of life here is a thriving example. The food smells amazing and looks exquisitely appetizing. So many guided activities with huge resident turnout were happening in just the one day I visited, I could not even keep count. The residents looked and acted happy. I would be thrilled to recommend my loves ones for Atria Briarcliff Manor.

The Atria at Briarcliff Manor takes pride in focusing their attention on every individual and their personal unique needs. My dad Has Lewy body Dementia and needed a new place to call home. He lives in the Life Guidance section which is run by Desiree. Joellen, the Resident Service Director and Desiree made all of this possible for my dad and family. The sense of community, care and compassion given on a daily basis has significantly impacted my dads life. When I visit him he is clean, happy, content and I can tell his soul is comfortable. The kindness, patience, and understanding of the entire staff has been a blessing to our family. The team on the Life Guidance floor has become a safe haven for both my dad and our family. It was my dads Birthday last week and I went to see visit him. My brother and I were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of yet another way The Atria is absolutely amazing. I am still in awe of the day we had. Desiree had balloons, table cloths, music and cake for my dad and all of his friends. She went above and beyond for my dad and I haven't seen my dad that happy in quite some time. The encouragement and support my father receives brings me peace. Between daily conversations, activities and therapy sessions my dad is thriving, something he hasn't been able to do in years. Your team has taken the time to get to know my dad, his needs, likes,dislikes, interests and tailor the care to meet him where he is at. You truly are all remarkable at what you do. I am so thankful to have found this home for my dad. Being part of the Atria family is truly special.
