The Atrium at Serenity Pointe

I visited the Atrium, but mother didn’t like it and thought it looked like a hotel. It was very nice but too upper class for her. It had lower level memory care. The rooms were down in the basement, and it didn’t look like there was much contact with the outside. The rooms were very nice, the staff was exceptionally nice, and the food was excellent. They had activities for memory care, and I saw them interacting with each other. It was expensive, but they could lower the cost for double occupancy.

My father was placed at the Atrium at Serenity Pointe. He was for two days on bed rest, and within a week he was back to normal. My father loves the place.

I found everything about The Atrium at Serenity Pointe to be absolutely wonderful. The food was delicious; everything was fine. I didn't have any problem with anything there. There is fishing and going out on the lake, and they have bus trips. I didn't get into the activities very much. The staff was very good -- excellent. It had everything I wanted.

I think if I had a stroke and had to go into an assisted living, I would choose Atrium because they are also very prepared for what my needs would be. It's beautiful. They have one or two-bedroom apartments. They have a full-fledged dining hall that is open almost all day and part of the night. You can go in and get a breakfast at 1 o'clock in the afternoon if that's what you want and that appeals to me. They have just recently opened up some cottages that are set off on the bay but they're individual. If I couldn't walk, I wouldn't need a hoveround to get over there with beautiful concrete walkway all around the Atrium looking out over the lake. I could sit out there in the sun overlooking that lake for hours. I'm happy on the water. The food is great, I understand. They got a chef that they had there. The service in the dining room I saw was just wonderful. It looks like you're treated royally. The staff I've found were as polite and as efficient as they can be. They were on their toes the whole time. It has got a wonderful reputation. They have a library inside and that library is constantly supplied with new books from the library system and they have computers for your capability to work on. They have a swimming pool. They have sea water in there and then they have a hot tub. I'm sure there is a trainer there that does exercise programs. The Atrium is on my number one list.

The Atrium in Hot Springs is a 4-star facility. It's lovely and in my opinion, it's one of the best places in town. Their rooms are large and I like being something where I will be able to move around. They had lovely pools and an area for square dancing.
