The staff was particularly helpful since we are located 1100 miles away and cannot often get to Lantana.

My father loves it there.

Moving my 93 year old aunt to assisted living was long overdue - she didn't want to live with "old people" and felt she was far more capable of living along than she really was. She had someone with her 10-4 on weekdays and more limited hours on the weekend but things came to a head when she started calling me over 50x per day "looking at the walls" in her apartment. Despite her protests, I helped her relocate to Atria Meridian. Her initial transition was quite challenging but I was amazed at how supportive the Atria Staff was - not just management but the daily care staff. I was in NY so managing the transition was difficult especially with my aunt occasionally calling "911" when she intended to call my "917" area code. The staff (and the in-house medical staff) was constantly open, warm, receptive and responsive. When I visited, I saw the activities in progress (despite my aunt having told me "they never do anything." Wine mixers (with diluted drinks), entertainers, community visitors, BINGO - a wide array of activities. And if she just wanted to sit, there's ALWAYS a group of residents either out front or in the beautiful lounge. And the physical building itself is like a really nice looking hotel. Upkeep is great and everything smells fresh. The place is really pretty and if I can share one example of how supportive the staff is; the dining room has three full meals a day with waiter/waitress service and a full menu. When my Aunt comes in to the dining room (which she calls the restaurant) they know she likes a Coke and there is always a Coke waiting for her when she sits down. Best move we ever made and...... we should have made it years ago when she would have been able to take care advantage of more of the benefits.
