Response from Atria Cranford
July 11, 2023We are thrilled to have you as part of the Atria family! Thank you for sharing your kind words with us. It means the world to us and to our team!
The people are really nice and helpful. I think if they had a more computerized system or portal it would be easier to do follow ups. They do need to work on improving the meals. They have very few vegetarian options. All stuff they are working with me on though so I appreciate it.

I was going to move Dad there but glad I learned about their religious discrimination before I did it. Their approach to LIE to Dad tricking him into going against his religious beliefs left a bad taste. I feel like we dodged a bullet there. The original sales rep on site was awesome. I was signing contracts when they found out Dad doesn't believe in vaccinations and I do not either. [name removed] is the one that broke the news wasting our time. She lied stating that it was state law and Dad couldn't get into a facility without Covid vax at a minimum. Then she wanted to trick him by convincing him it was something else he would agree to. With that recommendation to trick the patient, huge red flags at the 11th hour.

March 21, 2023Hello, Thank you for reaching out to us. While COVID-19 vaccinations are encouraged for our residents, we also respect individual beliefs, and a waiver was made available. I understand your family has been in touch with our Sales Director, and please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.
The staff is very nice. They are caring towards the residents, and get involved in the activities. The staff are good at trying to get the residents involved in the activities. The staff serve the meals in the dining room, and if the resident doesn't want to leave their room, they will deliver the meals to the resident's rooms. The staff communication with the family is good anytime we have questions.

They insisted on a $5,000 retainer fee for my loved one. They interviewed him and found him not to be a good fit. They have yet to return that money to me. They seemed personable and the facility looked clean, but I definitely think others should know about this before going there.

I was faced with a decision to have a family member remain at home with 24 hr assist or move to an Assisted Living environment. I had to decide quickly, after a fall she had at home. Researched facilities in our area. The Atria responded quickly to all my questions & concerns.After considering all the options for a good quality of life, the“Atria” was the best decision. Although she required a great deal of care physically, she is mentally aware of her situation. The level of care she requires is costly, however she is well taken care of . There’s undoubtedly an adjustment period in which the entire staff was great. They can be contacted various ways & respond quickly. She’s been at the Atria for 1 year. She has adjusted to the routine, is thriving, and enjoys all the activities offered.The staff has been so willing to help us in every aspect. Admissions, nursing, recreation, culinary, maintenance,&housekeeping.Thanks for helping, caring,& giving us peace of mind!

Atria Cranford is very impressive in many ways. From the well designed building and decor to the caring staff. The dining room is like a fine restaurant with delicious selections. Entertainment and social events are on their daily calendar. Occassionally a vendor pop up shop on premise for the residents to purchase essential items. A very well managed facility.

My mother-in-law is a resident at Atria Cranford. This year she changed rooms. It was found that there were issues there causing us great difficulty getting some of the devices working in her previous room. The Maintenance Director and Executive Director came up with a custom solution to allow us to get the devices reliably working. I commend the Maintenance Director who learned everything about the devices. He went above and beyond his job role worked with support to diagnose, setup, configure and restore the services she counts on. The Executive Director and Maintenance Director offered to be contacts should we experience new issues. Their care and compassion for my mother-in-law really impressed us. They eased her frustration with the matter, communicated with her in simple terms and helped her understand what steps were being taken to solve the issue. We feel good knowing Atria staff will work with care and compassion to provide aid whenever an issue may arise with its residents.

Mom is thriving due to the staff members who are friendly and accommodating. Executive director, business director and 2 social directors(male and female) are outstanding caring and patient and the transporter gets our family members safely to their destination.. without outstanding individuals like Atria’s Cranford location it would not have its great reputation.

After many tours of local assisted living facilities, we placed our Mom at Atria in Cranford. The feeling of comfort hits as you enter the facility. Mom has adjusted very well as a result of her level of care, fun filled activities calendar and caring staff. Our requests are always responded to in a timely and friendly manner. Staff members know the residents by name and tend to their needs accordingly. From the receptionists to the medical, administrative, culinary and facilities staff, everyone is involved, responsive and welcoming. I feel comfortable visiting at any given time and know Mom is in good hands.

My grandma currently lives at Atria and my family couldn't be more pleased. She is in memory care Life Guidance and my family was always very nervous about her being in the care of others but the staff treats her very well and treats us like family. The food is tasty, hot and there is a variety to chose from. The activities keep her busy and her room is always very clean. I looked at brookdale senior living and arbor terraces but this felt like home compared to them.

I am extremely happy with the experience Atria has provided for my grandma. She is very happy and has made friends here. Anytime we visit we are also able to speak with the nurses and doctors in person which is always nice as well. We can rest easy knowing she is being taking care of.

Mom has available care 24 hours a day 7 days a week. As a stroke victim in a wheelchair, she needs a lot of help and the competent and attentive staff a Atria Cranford are very reliable. On site nursing and doctor also relieve our family's concerns. She enjoys the food in the dining room and room service when needed. Atria was a good choice for her assisted living needs.

We had a wonderful tour experience with Atria Cranford. The staff were very friendly and attentive and answered all of our questions. We took our loved one here to visit and he liked it, but he ultimately chose another location due to the established trees around the facility.
