Atrium Active Home

This is not the type of place we are looking for, it is too small and I found these places a bit dark and depressing.... we did not feel comfortable

Devi was not there for the scheduled appointment. Her assistant said she had an emergency at her other home, but would be glad to give me the tour. I was really impressive with how clean and inviting the home is. It is also very spacious and decorated very nicely. There are no shared rooms, each resident has their own room. The rooms are nice and clean. The home I toured does not have any available vacancies, but the other homes do (I did not tour them). Her assistant called her while I was there and I spoke to her over the phone regarding pricing and was told that everything is included in a price of $4,000 per month, (room, meals, 24/7 supervision, etc.) which I thought was reasonable. I liked this home because everything is on one floor. There are no stairs. It is also not far from where I live.

The place is homely and not institutional. Still has the necessary support services. The staff is extremely friendly and caring and responsive to any and all family concerns.

I give Atrium 5 stars because my mother, Jean spent her last days here and I saw the excellent care given her. They are the kindest, most hands on caretakers I have seen. The Home in Silver Spring, MD., is beautiful, with 8 rooms and private baths, that feels like home. My mom loved the staff and her room. I love the way they gave her so much attention. I would recommend this beautiful home to anyone with an aging family member. They will get the love and attention they deserve.

Positives: nice neighborhood, good location, clean, bedrooms are a good size, owner is very personable and has been managing senior living homes for a number of years, good price, doctors brought on-site and medications delivered directly to house, caregivers seem friendly, and residents seem happy. Bathrooms are easily accessible for residents. Medications are kept secured (Grandma not able to self-medicate). Residents are bathed/cleaned up every morning. Cons: possible smoking areas?, owner does not live on the premises (but there are two caregivers at night), unsure if it's possible to get a TV in the bedroom, and did not see laundry room when I was there (although Devi mentioned that they do laundry there).

This is a nice facility with an eight bedroom capacity. I loved what I observed, but not sure it is the right place for my aunt.

$4,500 all inclusive

Atrium home in Burtonsville is my favorite. I would give it 4 or 5 stars. It is bright, sunny, and well kept. The 2 staff on duty were pleasant. The week-end manager, met us for both tours. I left a message for Devi to call the same day and no response yet. I hope to reach her early in the week to get all my information. The home can have 8 residents.

Nice place. Friendly staff.
