I was able to visit Atria Park in Glen Ellyn yesterday. It was great, my mom loved it, but they don't accept Medicaid. It's a wonderful assisted living community and the services looked impeccable. If I could do it, I would love for my mom to go there. She said that's a place where she would love to stay. Unfortunately, the price is acceptable to some but not to others.
The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable, and caring individuals. It looks like the management team knew the type of people they wanted to work for them: people who are caring, who listen, and who understand the needs of their residents. That's the most important thing for any community or assisted living facility, and they excelled at it. They're wonderful.
I saw their lunch menus, and some of the stuff looks good. If I could, I would stay there. The facility is gorgeous.

We visited Atria Park in Glen Ellyn. The tour was very informative, interesting, and they answered all of our questions. We thought it was well cared for and nicely laid out. It was clean, and the staff that we met all seemed very friendly. They have activities (like having a magician) and they have a theater and a band. Everything was subject to change based on the COVID restrictions. At the time we were there, they were in the midst of reviving some of their activities.

My sister moved into Atria Park of Glen Ellyn. We haven't been there, so we don't really know much. They're on lockdown and we can't go there. She likes it very much and the woman we worked with, Vi, she is extremely nice and helpful. I think they communicate with my daughter through emails almost every day. They couldn't have been more helpful. They have housekeeping, three meals a day plus snacks, and a laundry service.

Atria Park of Glen Ellyn's physical space wasn't as appealing because it was more of an older Victorian style. I knew it wasn't going to feel like home to my mom. The living quarters were studio apartment size; they were comfortable. The buildings were very nicely done. They had a living room and a dining room on the first floor. There was a front porch that you can sit in, which was heated so you feel like you're sitting outside. All of those things were very nice. However, it wasn't homey and wasn't right for us. I wasn't comfortable with the staff.

The general impression is Atria Park of Glen Ellyn is very nice, and it’s being considered as one of the 2 homes we’re looking at. The food was very good. The residents seemed very comfortable, and it seemed like a very welcoming community. The amenities including the hair salon, the fitness center, the long hours for food and beverages, the activities for residents, and the choices and options are all things that seem very interesting and are things that we like that we’re considering.

Atria Park of Glen Ellyn is a little less expensive with less classy things, and it is older. The rooms were not as nice, smaller, and a bit crowded. But there was nothing wrong with it. If I had to live in one, I’d pick the other place, but I would live here also. I found the staff to be better -- significantly better. They followed up quite nicely by sending us a big bowl of fruit, and they have called back a couple times.

Mom went to Atria Park of Glen Ellyn for two weeks for respite care, and everything worked out fine. The people were very pleasant. Her room was nice, and she had good meals. I have nothing bad to say about the place as everything went very well.

We only viewed the studio apartment at Atria Park; I think we just got busy talking and forgot looking the rest of it. The woman that helped us was wonderful and gave us a lot of information. We met some of the residents that were going to watch a movie to the theater room. My mom did not like the size of a 1-bedroom apartment. She didn’t like the apartment, but the facility was very nice. It was nicely decorated, and the dining room was beautiful.

Atria Park of Glen Ellyn was previously Sunrise, but there was a change of ownership. I thought the food was very good, initially. What I saw is that 70% of the caregivers are absolutely wonderful, and some are a little lax; maybe there aren’t enough caregivers. Mom is 96 and very slow and always felt rushed. She is also the last one to go down for meals. The nurses are very good, though. We chose it because the rooms had so much natural light and views of the park. She was very happy during her first year there, but sometimes they run out of her food selection. They are more expensive, too.

For our purpose, Atria Park of Glen Ellyn is probably our top choice. It is very nice and very close to family members. However, the staff has turned over a bit since we went, and it is hard to keep up with who is the director now.

I visited Atria Park. The staff was very nice, very accommodating, and very willing to show me everything. I really liked the facility; however, it was a little further from my house.

My sister and I visited Atria Park of Glen Ellyn and we were very impressed. They were extremely good at showing us everything. We talked to some of the residents there and everybody seemed happy. It was beautiful. They gave us a tour of all the rooms that were available. They told us the pricing, and they offered what they called respite stay where she could just stay for a month -- there's no contract, just a monthly fee. We liked everything we saw -- the rooms, the grounds are beautiful, a lot of outdoor areas to walk around or just sit outside if you wanted. The location was good to Lombard which is where she and my other sister live. She would have her own apartment there which she would love. The dining area looked very nice. The rooms were very good, and they had everything from studio to two-bedroom. Everything was handicap accessible with big windows, so there was a lot of light. They were pet friendly. She has a cat and that's important for her to bring the cat and they accept that.

Atria Park of Glen Ellyn is a beautiful facility. It's in an area that is very convenient to a lot of geriatric services. I'd have to have my aunt go for some ear and dental services, and it was less than five minutes away in both cases. There are a lot of small local restaurants, theater, and shopping where they take the residents. They are close to a park, and the staff is long-tendered, which is something I've always looked for. They are happy there, they like their jobs, and they are really kind and helpful to the residents. My aunt has had complaints about every other facility that she has stayed in, but here she says that they take really excellent care of her, and she appreciates being there. The sanitation is wonderful, and the dining and the food services really are very good.

Atria Park of Glen Ellyn was extremely well-lit and bright. It wasn't dreary, it wasn't dark, and it wasn't drab. It was like walking into a community center where there was a lot of hustle and bustle. There were a lot of people eating at different tables for lunch or dinner. There was a lot of action, and you wouldn't have thought you were in a retirement home. It was fantastic really. A lot of things were going on: brightly lit rooms, brightly lit colors, and a circular location where the rooms were in the outside of the circle and when you exit your room, you only had one option, which is to go forward so you wouldn't get lost, and you would be walking into an area where there was always someone there, always something to do, always something going on, and activities. I was actually looking forward to putting my mother in a place like this. It was excellent. The people were totally professional, and I felt so comfortable I would have signed her up. It was a great place. It was like being on vacation in an all-inclusive resort, and I have no negatives about it.

When I walked in to Sunrise for the first time, they introduced me to the Activities Manager and she was really helpful in showing me around and introducing me to the residents. She also showed me how the events calendar worked and all the different things that were done at the Senior Living to ensure the residents felt at home. Some of the things they included were a dedicated hair salon and wii nights along with bingo and card games from time to time. I really liked the feel and atmosphere that the place has developed over the years. The elderly felt completely at home and the center has picnics from time to time when their family members would come and enjoy the festivities with them. One thing I really liked was that there was a calendar menu up at front so everyone could see what was going to be served and all the staff was willing to help out in any way they could. For example, the manager helped me wash some dishes one time and we chatted about improving some activities at the Reminiscence center for people with Alzheimer's. The facilities were clean and taken care of multiple times of the day. It was a new, heart warming experience overall.

I toured Sunrise for a family member. From what I observed the staff was courteous, friendly, polite, and compassionate. Although the director seemed to be pushing the facility to seem like more than it actually was. Apart from the staff, they have Sunrise signatures which were objects placed throughout the facility which are supposed to be helpful to the residents. The furniture in the halls and living rooms looked brilliant; however, the beds in the rooms and the furniture there was horrendous. I liked the overall look of the place and everything was clean, but felt that it was too crowded: it was packed with furniture that seemed to be closing in on me. But what stood out was the lack of activities. People there, apart from chatting with each other, did not seem have any fun things to do around there. Even if they did have something, I believe it would get to be a boring experience living there very soon. It just didn't seem like the people have a degree of freedom or release that comes with living in a normal society. I got the sense that my family member would be treated more like a child than an adult who had many experiences in his lifetime. The food on the other hand was great. I think they had good meal choices and portions, which included the snacks in between. I did not like their plates or cups or silverware. They were just ugly.

Memory Care Reviews for Atria Park of Glen Ellyn
August 20, 2021
I visited this facility
Atria Park of Glen Ellyn was very nice. They did a great job. The woman was very nice too. She showed me all of the rooms and showed me exactly what they do. There were snacks always available. There was a man who will be there if anything that needed to be fixed for my mother.
The facility was just very clean and very warm. There's no foul smell or anything. We felt very warm when we walked in. She even offered water to my brother because it was a hot day. She was very, very nice about that. The room was also very nice and very clean. As you entered into the memory care, I liked that they had pictures for the residents there, so it would help them remember the loved ones in their life. It was just very warm walking toward them and interacting with them. They had a salon too and an activity room. In fact, an activity was going on when I went there.

I wouldn't give Atria Park of Glen Ellyn a good review. They actually gave us permission to come in and when we did they changed their minds and decided they couldn't deal with my dad.
They had an open staircase there and my dad walked down the staircase, and that's when they stopped him and said he was a fall risk. They had somebody stay with him at night until they decided to put him in the memory care where it was locked so he could not get out. That's what we did, but they really weren't doing a whole lot for memory care down there. There was a lot of women who were lethargic and he was just stuck down there in that little basement area. Finally, they didn't want to deal with his catheter and so they said we had to leave.
The food was good. The staff members were nice when you confronted them, but a lot of times you couldn't find the nurses. The people in the memory care were just sitting and watching TV. They weren't really helpful. One day my dad didn't eat and so I asked his caregiver, and he said, "Well, we can take him down to dinner, but we can't force him to eat."
