I didn't really care for The Atrium at Cardinal Drive because they're all together, and there's no single bedrooms. I'm not comfortable with that place. Everything's very small. There was a state hospital that was closed, and that's the feeling I got from these people. Some of them were severely mentally handicapped (that was just my opinion). It seemed friendly enough and clean enough. The rooms were tiny, and they expected to put two people in there. The staff came into the room with the supervisor and me; they brought strawberries and cookies that looked appetizing. The people looked nourished, and it didn't smell at all.

The Atrium at Cardinal Drive is a beautiful place and the staff members are all very nice and friendly. I had a very good impression of the place, but it's too far away from my dad's house. I saw a room there, it was very clean, and very nice. It wasn't huge, but it's what what my mom would have needed. The appearance of the place was bright, clean, and modern. The staff member who gave the tour was very kind and really helpful.

The Atrium at Cardinal Drive was my husband's second choice for his Mom. The price was much higher than what we could afford. However, it was truly beautiful and bright. They had a salon and a primary physician who can see the residents regularly. The residents are able to keep that physician as their PCP. We did not select The Atrium at Cardinal Drive because of the price, but it certainly was beautiful and the employees were exceptionally pleasant and helpful.

We thought that The Atrium at Cardinal Drive was wonderful. The only reason we did not choose them for my mother-in-law is because of the cost. We cannot afford the kind of care that they offer. We wanted to choose them because they were more local to us, and it would have been a much better solution. I loved the things that were offered there. In fact, they do offer support groups on the first Tuesday every month. Everybody was very pleasant. I think the support from the woman who was the director that we met with, Alana, is what I liked best. She taught us a lot of different things about Alzheimer's and ways to handle them.

About The Atrium at Cardinal Drive
The Atrium at Cardinal Drive in Agawam, MA, is an assisted living residence designed exclusively to serve the needs of individuals with memory loss. Our goal, in everything we do, is to create an environment that feels safe and familiar, empowering and fulfilling.
All forms of memory loss, from forgetfulness to Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, are disorders of the memory, not the spirit. In fact, care of the spirit increasingly becomes the one way we can reach and communicate to those with memory loss. At The Atrium at Cardinal Drive, we connect with the residents and their caregivers. It's what we do best. Welcome to The Atrium of Cardinal Drive!
