BEWARE of Atria Foster Square! Atria Foster Square presents itself as a full-service sanctuary for elderly folks like my 97 year old mother. The lovely introductory tour also included an aggressive admonition to “lock down one of these high-demand rooms right away” with a $[removed](first month’s rent) “refundable deposit.” In good faith, we wrote the check, assured that if mom decided not to proceed, her deposit would be refunded. Mom began to waffle and grow hesitant about leaving her San Mateo home of 70 years, but Atria management assured us that the move-in date was flexible and that she could take her time in deciding. A couple of weeks later, she decided to stay home. I immediately contacted the Atria staff to apprise them of her decision and request the return of our refundable deposit. Instead of a check, we received an invoice for a second month’s rent. When the director finally returned our calls, we were informed that the voluminous rental agreement included a 30 day notice to
Excellent service, residents feel safe in a nice environment, staff and residents are friendly and food tastes like a four star restaurant - not found in most senior facilities. Upscale appearance, clean, good size room that looks modern and clean, nice facilities , quality food and amenities, Asian staff and some Asian residents.

When we visited it looked wonderful and the person we talked to her mother had dementia and thought it would be good. So in the beginning it was good. When my loved one got Covid from being there they basically kicked her out. They made us pick her up since they couldn't care for her. And then trying to see how she could return they didn't return calls. So they are very inadequate for care of memory care patients. Might be fine for assisted living. I just would never recommend it for memory care.

Response from Atria at Foster Square
June 19, 2023Hello, we appreciate your concerns. Our priority is the care and well-being of our residents. I’ve shared your review with the Executive Director and Vice President and they’re available if you want to speak with them about your time with us. I’m also available at CustomerService@AtriaSeniorLiving.com.
Our experience at Atria at Foster Square so far hasn't been great and needs to get better. The quality of care needs to get better, as I'm not sure what they are giving. As far as the staff, everyone besides executive staff are great. The Value for Cost remains to be seen, it's a 4 (good) for now. I'm hoping this facility does better.

I never actually moved in there, just made the deposit. The apartment, that I signed up for is beautiful, an Independent-Living one-bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen, with lots of room, closet space, 50-in TV, with lots of light, overlooking the courtyard. Perfect!

July 12, 2023Thank you for sharing your positive experience! Please don't hesitate to reach back out for any more information!
Our host [name removed] gave us a fantastic tour and overview of the facility. He was very pleasant and friendly. We have looked at a few places and this one exceeded our expectations. We hope to make this place a home for my Father in the upcomming months.

The place is more cheerful and active than the other facilities that we visited. All the amenities are on the same floor for easy access. The dining room is less formal. It also has Asian cuisines. The staff and the residents are also younger than other facilities. The fact that 40% of the residents are Asians is a solid plus for Asian seniors who are less comfortable speaking English. The rooms are nice. The only negative is that the rooms don't have full kitchens.

Atria at Foster Square is a great place, and my parents are really happy there. The things that jump out to me the most are how clean the facility is and how friendly the staff is.

This was my first tour ever of a retirement community. The facility itself was absolutely stunning and beautifully decorated. I was very impressed by the amenities and the living quarters. I was very happy to see residents were friendly and in great spirits. Most importantly the staff’s professionalism was superb!

I toured Atria Foster Square in August and knew that if I could convince my parents to move to CA, this would be the place. One of the most appealing things is that they are located right next to first responders which is a huge plus for me. The staff was friendly, the facility was extremely clean and it really didn’t look like what I was expecting an elderly home to look like - it was very stylish from the apartments to the social areas. The team over there has been great about inviting me to events and keeping in touch.

We toured the community looking for senior living options for my dad. The staff is very respectful and professional. It sounds like they really care about the experience. I enjoyed the food a lot more than expected. I would definitely recommend Foster Square to my friends/family.

Atria at Foster Square may not be perfect but it has been a really good experience. The cleanliness is absolutely amazing and the staff members really seem to do a good job reaching out to the residents. We gave the quality of care 4 out of 5 stars even though the care is good it does seem like at times there is a level of confusion on who has to decide amongst the staff on what happens regarding a residents care. It does not seem like they are highly highly trained but there is a doctor that comes around if/when there is a problem. The meals are pretty good there is adequate quantity, it is not the best food ever made but overall it is good. They seem to fill the day with plenty of activities and the staff members are very interactive but the residents with their age and health state may not be all that interactive - they certainly make an effort though.

I would highly recommend the community to others for their loved ones. The community is good at taking photos and sending them to the family to show what our loved one was doing to help my one get acquainted with the community. The staff will call the family and loved ones to keep us updated on what is going on in the community with our loved one. The family is very happy with our experience. There are 2 specials each day and a set menu for the residents to choose from. They have even have filet mignon every day as an option. I have had the opportunity to eat with my loved one and the food is delicious. The community has a happy hour bar for the assisted living area. They have an exercise room, movie theater and a place to get a massage, nails, or hair done. My loved one feels at home and is even participating in the activities.

Atria at Foster Square seemed like a very qualified facility. All of the staff did their jobs and did them well. For us the location was just too far from friends and family.
