Atria Park of St. Josephs

We had a very poor and expensive experience in Memory Care at the Atria Park at St. Joseph’s. If your loved one had any negative behaviors associated with dementia/Alzheimer’s. Our 85 year old, 93lb., insulin dependent mother who suffers from mid-stage Alzheimer’s unknowingly had a UTI when we placed her here and became confused and agitated. She hit one of the workers twice. We knew this was out of character for her so we sent her to the hospital where she was admitted for IV antibiotics. We were told that we needed 1:1 care which was provided by an agency they recommended. We then placed her on anti-psychotic meds to hopefully stop episodes of agitation. She was given 3 different medications which resulted in low BP and pulse, lethargy which resulted in syncopal episodes. I was not informed of the 1st incident. The second incident happened while I was there. When we asked the workers for the nurse, we were told that he was on the Assisted Living side and the didn’t know how to reach

My family and loved one have had a great experience with the community. The staff are very helpful, caring, and usually go above and beyond to assist the residents and families. Everyone seems friendly. The community has been cleaned when we visit our loved one. There are meals and activities provided to assist with socialization of the residents. Overall, this is a community we would recommend to others.

My loved was here for respite. The staff were kind, caring, and attentive to our loved one. Everyone was friendly here. Make sure that your loved one's medications are returned to you prior to your loved one leaving the community, if your loved one was there for respite. Overall, this is a great community and we would recommend the community to others for their loved ones.

Things I like about Atria Park of St. Josephs: --Very accommodating --Personal interactions creating family atmosphere between staff and residents --Attentive --Inclusive --Lots of daily activities for the residents --Accessibility

Atria Park of St. Josephs is an excellent place, they get a 10 out of 10. I would tell others who are looking that it is easy to get to, they have plenty of parking available, and the inside of the facility is neat and clean. The staff are professional and courteous. I would absolutely recommend Atria Park of St. Josephs to anybody looking.

I cannot express just how happy I am to have my dad at Atria. All the staff go above [name removed] and beyond to meet his every need. The nursing staff appear to genuinely love their job. [name removed], the head nurse, is unequaled in her commitment to and love shown to her patients and families.

The tour at Atria Park was fine. It was a newer facility, but that meant the staff hadn't been there very long. However, everybody was very nice there. Mostly I wanted to keep Mom near where she lived so her friends would visit her, which I think is important when considering a place.

Atria Park really is family orientated - the staff really do treat the residents like one big happy family and we felt very comfortable having our loved one here from the beginning. Our loved one is on level one care because they are still able to do the basic needs for themselves and handle their own medication with our families help. They are experience some early Alzheimer's (short term memory loss) and that is it. Our loved ones room is right in the middle of everything - all the activities, the dining hall and close to the director's office - with that being said we wish the staff would prompt our loved one to come out of their room and go to the activities, and go eat lunch and dinner in the dining hall. With what we are paying we wish they would do this a little more consistently and be more encouraging - that is the reason we gave it an overall 4 star

I could not be happier with choosing Atria St Joseph for my mom. My mom loves the staff and I can see that they genuinely care about her and are always so attentive to her every need. The food is fabulous and activities are also fun and engaging. If you are looking for a great community for your loved one, don't think twice about moving them to St Joseph's. It will be the best decision you have ever made!

The administration there is terrific everyone is very involved and very present and based on our experience we would recommend the Atria Park of St. Joseph's to other families.

So far we love it, thanks. Just wish they could find more staff but they are trying! The people that are there are very caring and we love them! They are taking very good care of my Mother-in-Law. I don't have much to compare it to for value for the money. We are having to pay extra money for what's supposed to The extra care but I'm not sure they truly have the staff to provide it. I would say that's the only issue I have. I know staffing is a huge issue everywhere right now though.

Communication is great with staff. They give notice when anything is going on. Everyone has been very very friendly, I really cannot say enough about them. They are cleaning constantly and everything is always spotless. She has weekly visits with a PA, a pediatrist comes in, she goes to physical therapy, the care has been awesome. She has improved a ton since she has gotten here. My mom is a picky eater and she thinks the food is really good. We have also eaten here a few times and really enjoyed it.

My mom recently moved in to St Joseph’s and everything has been phenomenal. The movein process was smooth thanks to Mary and Jessica. If you are looking for a place for your loved one, look no further!

We moved my dad into the Memory Care facility at the end of [month/year removed]. When we signed the contract, we were told there was a "Memory Care Director", whom I met, and daily activities for the residents. Within the first week, the director of this unit left and never once were there activities scheduled for the memory care. My dad, an alzheimer's patient, gets aggressive if someone tries to force him to do something. After 4 weeks and twice hitting a staff person, we were required to have him on 24-hour individual care at a price of $20/hr in addition to the monthly rate. This went on for a few weeks before they told us we had to move him out. It was a very expensive lesson to learn that this place is only willing to handle docile memory care patients. We have him somewhere else now that is awesome.

My loved one seems to really enjoy it here. This has been a great experience for us and we love it here. I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. The people here are sweet, caring, and friendly. The staff are right on it, if we have questions or concerns. Joyce is exceptional! My loved one really enjoys the soup. There are choices for the residents to choose from for meals. There are activities offered by the community.

When I walked into Atria Park, I felt like I was walking in to the Ritz Carleton. It was so fancy and just too much for me. I was looking for something more homey and cozy feeling. They had tons of amenities provided but it was all stuff that not a lot of people here can utilize. It was also more expensive.

This community was very good. They gave a lot of information and the tour guide was amazing.

This community was nice and was in the line for one I really wanted for my loved one. However, my loved one went with another community that she felt worked better. From the expenses to what all was offered even down to the decor there was just another community that stuck out more.

I would tell others the memory care is worth a look. I would also encourage you to look at other communities in the area. The staff are pleasant, accommodating, and communicative. There has been a change of the staff physician, and sales director since my loved one moved in.

It's been a good experience overall. We've had a little bit of trouble with nursing and follow-up communication from them, mostly regarding medications. But I think it's a really friendly place, and they serve good food. And I like that it's clean.
