Atherton Baptist Home

Atherton Baptist Home is very caring and very helpful. They have a housekeeper who comes in every Thursday and cleans. Some caregivers take care of me, about different things, if I need care. They put on my stretch socks for me and they collect us for meals and make sure that we have our meals properly. They come into your rooms and sit and talk to you. They communicate well with you. It is so much easier to get around here and do things and they are very helpful in your transportation and so on. The food is very good. It's excellent. They've also done some building projects just recently and they just finished a courtyard and a three-story building with two elevators and it's up-to-date everything in it. About once every month or a month and a half, we're allowed to go to a restaurant with a group (of course we pay for it) and we do various activities. We make birthday cards, new kinds of Christmas cards and other kinds of things. We have a person that does that. She is full-time here. She comes around and talks to us and she's very good. We have a place where we can plant our own seeds and grow our own garden. The atmosphere is very congenial. The social atmosphere here is very good. We have lots of different races here and we all get along.

Atherton Baptist Home is an excellent facility. It was the number one place I looked up for my aunt because I knew it very well. I used to be a volunteer there more than 20 years ago. The care, the upkeep, and the staff are so right at the top. It is pretty pricey there though. You got people like Judge Ito, from the OJ trial, and Alice Cooper the rockstar's dad staying there. The problem I had was, to be in their assisted living, you have to already be a resident of their independent living. The last tour I really only went and picked up a brochure, so I didn't really get a full actual tour, but I have seen the independent living homes, from a small homes to apartment-type settings. I have also been in their assisted living facility area as well in the past. Sometimes people are in their own rooms, sometimes people are sharing a room as well. They're very clean and they're a good place. The staff is very professional, caring, respectful, and very good people. I checked the dining area and it was very nice, clean, and spacious. It was pretty good.

Atherton Baptist Home was very well organized for senior care and for a lot of encouraging activity programs. They have a Baptist community, a lot of Christian services available, and a lot of retired missionaries. Everything was high quality. They also have special meetings, which bring in Christian leaders and pastors, as well as general church members. They have cared for all the different aspects of senior living and senior limitations. They've been in business a long time and they handle things excellently. They also have a swimming pool and facilities for people developing all kinds of skills, like creating designs on glass for windows. The dining room was marvelous and the food service was excellent. They've been very thoughtful about accommodating people with special needs and making sure they get the service they want. Their homes have been very well kept, organized, and attractive.

Atherton was a little dated and wasn't as modern as I would like it to be, but it was nice. The staff seemed to be extremely friendly and helpful. The activities were sufficient for me. The rooms were spacious and adequate.

MY FOLKS WERE ALLOWED TO MOVE IN AT AGE 64 DUE TO MY DAD'S PHYSICAL PROBLEMS. HE DIED LESS THAN A YEAR LATER. MY MOM LIVED THERE 25 YEARS, INCLUDING 10 YEARS MARRIED TO A WIDOWED MISSIONARY, SHE LOVED AND TRUSTED ATHERTON. SHE ALWAYS TOLD US, HER DAUGHTERS, IF ATHERTON TELLS YOU I CANT DRIVE OR MUST GO INTO ASSISTED LIVING, YOU DO IT AS I TRUST THEM. MAMA DIED IN 2013

I chose Atherton Baptist Homes because it was close to my home and affordable. My mom got an apartment there, and it’s very comfortable and beautiful. The atmosphere is a friendly and Christian. I eat with my mom there, and their food is very good. They have a lot of activities for the residents. The staff is very helpful and friendly.
