I do not care for Atria Golden Creek. It is nice, but it isn't very homey. My sister chose it for my mother because this particular Atria has a 2-bedroom unit, which is not very nice. However, this community overlooks a small stream, which is nice.
As I peeked in the rooms, I'm thinking their units are laid out so much better than Mom's 2-bedroom. It seems so cramped and small. You couldn't get in a small sofa, a small TV set, and maybe a small chair. You couldn't fit more than a full-sized bed and a dresser. It is a tight squeeze. Because my mother needs an adjustable bed, that is all they could fit in her bedroom, and then they put a dresser in there to store her clothes in.
The food is OK. It is just a typical institutional food. They would order off what is always on the menu, so it is always the same. You can vary it up a little bit, but it is always the same thing.

I liked Atria Golden Creek. I found the staff to be very pleasant and accommodating. It was far more on the cruise ship on land model. I felt like they would be very accommodating, but it was like so over the top cost wise, and there wasn’t real sense of home like atmosphere. It’s very clean with large size units.

Atria Golden Creek is only two blocks from my sister's house, which was a huge consideration. They have a lot of indoor activities, yoga, exercise classes, and art classes. They have a physical therapist, so she can go to the gym and get her physical therapy. They have an occupational therapist that comes in twice a week who also works with her. They have doctors come and visit, and her psychiatrist and her geriatric specialist can see her there. Outdoor activities include field trips, and she can go on walks along the riverbank and around the lake. The staff has been very compassionate and warm and seemed to have a very thorough understanding of my mother and her medical and psychological issues right now. They have been very good about communicating and keeping up with things, managing her medications and managing her doctor's appointments. I've been very pleased. They have an assisted living program there, but for somebody who is relatively new to their dementia, it's a good place for them to go. The people have some level of independence that they encourage.

The staff was very helpful. They gave us a tour. It was a very nice big facility. We looked at a model room, and it was very well presented and very beautiful. We saw the dining room and saw the people being seated. It was like a nice restaurant. The only activity we observed in Atria was a church service. When we looked at the memory unit, it was quite different from the assisted living area, but all of them had adequate security as far as caring for the residents.

Atria Golden Creek had a resort look. It had a memory care area and it looked like it was well set-up for that. I really liked that it had memory care although it was more expensive. My mom could stay there and if she stayed then I wouldn't need to hire a personal caregiver, I do not have to worry about her wandering off. The facility and rooms were nice. They seemed to have good personnel. I heard they had a very well-praised chef and they had a nice little dining room.

I visited Atria Golden Creek once. The staff spent a lot of time to show us around. It was good for someone who wanted a smaller facility. There were not enough activity rooms and open spaces.

I went to the assisted living place to see if I could volunteer. The facility looked relatively nice and many people were friendly. The people living there looked happy and seemed to be alright with the people living there. The apperances were very nice, such as the way it was furnished and set up. The people living there appeared to be friendly and the eating area was well layed out. The food seemed decent and I liked the area that it is located. Irvine is a very safe city so it was the perfect location for this type of facility. The workers and atmosphere was professional and well put together. I would go on a tour there to get your own opinnion about the living area, but overall it seemed to be decent to me. It apparently has a good reputation and a good staff base. Overall an okay experience.

We went to visit the Atria Golden Creek assisted living facility since we happened to be in the vicinity looking at other places for my friend.
The grounds looked exceedingly well tended and maintained, with plenty of nice shrubs, trees and places to sit to enjoy. The stone and wood was truly lovely.
The interior design was fresh, bright and beautiful, with a resort vibe. Because the weather is so mild there, the residents may enjoy walks along San Diego Creek and spend time outdoors daily.
The staff often takes residents on many outings into the region's vibrant community to enjoy all that it has to offer. From sight seeing to nature walks and cultural events, Irvine has it all. In fact, their events calendar was one of the most extensive that we've seen thus far.
There was a variety of living options available, from temporary, respite to independent and assisted living, so it would be easy to adjust when necessary. The staff appeared to accommodate all levels of ambulation.
They also offer yoga and aerobics classes, sometimes held outdoors.
The residents are encouraged to enjoy physical activity as much as possible.
The dining areas offered great restaurant style ambiance and lots of food options. The lunch we saw looked and smelled delicious. Snacks are offered all day and into the evening, and whenever requested.
Private spaces featured nicely decorated surroundings. All had natural light and fresh air with beautiful views.
This facility really seemed more like a place to take a vacation, and all of the seniors appeared very content, with just the right amount of care and attention necessary.

Atria Golden Creek is a great facility. There are a variety of floor plans available. My grandparents chose the one with one bedroom. This allows them to have their own privacy and host guests at the same time. The move from my house to the assisted-living facility was an easy transition because the place came fully furnished. The unit is very comfortable and has lots of amenities. There is a full kitchen, so grandma can cook if she wants to. It also has a heating and cooling system so that the temperature can be changed to something that is comfortable. In addition, there is a 24-hour emergency button that can be pushed if my grandparents really need help with something.Aside from the unit, the Atria Golden Creek has a good community feel. There are many conveniences that you would find in a regular town, things such as a movie theatre and a barber shop. There is also never a lack for things to do; guests can attend exercise classes, social nights that might involve movies or board games, and there's also a lot of open, serene space for chatting and relaxing. When one gets hungry, there is a cafeteria available where most residents eat. The chef is able to make customized meals to fit the dietary restrictions of my grandparents. If my grandparents need to leave, there is free public transportation to local shops in the neighborhood. Overall, this selection is a good and affordable way to take care of my grandparents.
