Overall great place and welcoming community.
My mom is happier than she has been in years. Her physical and mental health have improved greatly. The only reason I didn't give this a five is because I feel like the staff could do a better job of managing when people have contagious illnesses and keeping them away from others. They have struggled with adequate staffing, availability of items and just overall service issues. I only rated this low because it is costing my mom every penny of the money that she gets. And we have to use our own personal income to provide personal items and other things for her. There should be more of a sliding scale on what someone can afford. It is although the cheapest and most complete or inclusive package I could find.

Beautiful facility with a lot to offer!
I recently toured this facility with [name removed]. The property was warm and inviting and spotless clean! [name removed] familiarized me with the activities they offer along with the many facility features and services available there. I got to visit with an old friend who is living there and he was very pleased with everything! If you, your friend or a family member is ready to enjoy their retirement without worrying about all the details and chores that have become difficult for you to achieve this is a great place to consider! [name removed] is the perfect example of how the owners and staff of this home place great care in providing comfortable, convenient and friendly living conditions for the residents! I encourage you to schedule a tour with [name removed] sometime soon. You will be pleased that you did!

Overall we had a great experience with staff and residents.
Appreciate the response to our questions and requests in getting into Holiday by Atria and getting settled into his apartment. A little over whelming with how quickly everything was going, but seems like that is not unusual in this day and age. Want to thank everyone for their patience and understanding and hope it continues once we get everything moved in.

A new journey
Its a changed at the right time. A few years ago my mom had passed away and my stepfather was now living alone for the first time in 45 the house he had grew up in is now a bit overwhelming in living and up keep. I looked at some assisted Living places and came across A Place for Mom and they suggested Thornton Place. At first I was kind of against it because I felt the price was a little pricey and just didn't know how I felt about being in a assistant living place which I thought was like a nursing home??... Well, decided to do a tour and the assistant director at Thornton Place was amazing. From the moment we walked in I felt that this is the place he needed to be at. The residents there are super friendly and awesome , very welcoming . And although it was the new Directors second day, you would have thought she's been there a life time. Her genuine care and just concern for the residents there is amazing.
I'm so glad that he is a resident at Thornton Place.

Thornton Place is great!
From my first contact with Thornton Place everyone has been excellent. [name removed] has been an answer to our prayers as we were looking for guidance and help navigating the elderly care system for services. She was extremely helpful and supportive to get us the help my sister and brother in law needed and went the extra mile to help them, the whole time with a smile and great attitude. She truly made a difference in our lives. The whole staff has been very friendly as well. I feel confident that my loved ones are in a safe place and well cared for.

I did not realize that Thorton place had these options. Other than the main building was not aware of the food that was being prepared there and overall experience was great. She was a very knowledgeable person.

I would say nice community.
The no housekeeping for 3rd floor is unacceptable. Many changes made since my sister moved in. Outside Actives were lowered, no housekeeping services on 3rd floor and was told no more bus service to appointments. Meal choices have been cut from 6 to 3 which I think that is understandable.

Thank you for reaching out with your concerns. Your sister is a valued member of our community. I’ve shared your review with the General Manager and the community is working to hire an additional housekeeper. Also, the bus driver was out for a couple days recently, but regular transportation services have resumed. The General Manager would be happy to speak with you directly about these and any other concerns. If you email us at CustomerService@AtriaSeniorLiving.com we’ll put you in touch.

Mom really likes it there. We have not noticed anything aside from the minor housekeeping issue. Everyone who has gone to visit her have been impressed. It is great they are so welcoming of children. My nephew's and niece love going there.

Would not recommend
The staff members were friendly but there were problems and the value gets a low rating for what they offered. We had big problems with [name removed]. She was very pushy, more like a used car salesman. She typed up a form for me to fill out, when I said I was looking at other places and wasn't ready to make a decision. She said it would make things move more smoothly if I decided on Thornton. Then it was processed as if I had made the decision to select Thornton and was entered into the computer system. Other places were informed that Thornton had been selected, which I believe was done by A Place for Mom. If I hadn't called [community name removed] to move my visit up a few days, I would never have known this. I was incensed. I was concerned I was liable legally and financially. This was totally unacceptable and bad business practices. It was all [name removed] fault for processing that "just in case" form. I no longer trust [name removed] or Thornton. Other friends have also told me they have also had problems with Thornton. [name removed] assured me they had "assisted living" when they did not have the services my husband needed, such as 24-hour assistance as needed. When nursing staff leave at 7:30 pm then there is no one to assist with toileting, bathing, or dressing in the evening. The facilities were okay, but I hope I never have to deal with them again. I do not trust them. This was a complete negative experience.

BED BUGS!!!!
The friendliness I rated at a 5 for the staff, but if I were to rate just the GM....I would give him a 1. This facility had a bedbugs outbreak and they knew about it, but still proceeded with mom's move in and did not tell us about the outbreak. Mom ended up with multiple bites on her. When they finally decided to do something about it, they told us that they were following protocol for treatment. But the protocol is lacking. They treated mom's mattress. That was their 'treatment.' Corporate told me that when they treat, they treat the unit and also the adjoining units and that they do it twice. Come to find out, for the second treatment.... they 'inspected' for the bedbugs but did not actually 'treat' for the bedbugs. When I questioned it, I was told that treatment and inspection are the same thing! It was a nightmare for us to try and clean mom's unit (not to mention the expense). Then when we moved her out, we had to do it all over again to avoid carrying the bedbugs with us. So we had that expense, plus the moving costs and all of the other costs that come with that. An employee who had worked there and then been fired contacted my mom after her termination. She apologized to mom for having to go through all of this and admitted that the facility was well aware that there was a bedbug problem before they moved mom in. It's just unfortunate and frustrating. Mom really liked this place initially and looked forward to living here. But then she moved in and the nightmare began. Another thing that's frustrating, because they're an independently owned facility, I can't seem to find out who they're run by and inspected by or who they answer to. Other residents and their loved ones are frustrated here, as well. But they're too afraid to voice their concerns to the GM because of the wrath they may get from him. I wouldn't recommend this facility to anyone, except maybe an exterminator.

Welcoming residents/staff
The central dining is pretty good but I notice they aren't equipped to prepare for anyone on a special diet. The food is of pretty good quality.
The facility is a wonderful community atmosphere, very neighborly. Very caring people residents/staff.
Activities a plenty from musical performances, games, trips to local shops and restaurants, casino for those who wish to get out and involved.
Nice accommodations that are soon going to be renovated in the common areas.
