The Atrium at Drum Hill is a really wonderful place. My father had lived there himself, so I really wanted my husband to go there because they give excellent care. Unfortunately, my husband was rejected by them, because his care was going to be too much, but they checked him out a couple of times to see if they could take him. The staff was excellent. I can't say any more than that they were my first choice. The person who accommodated me was very helpful. I already knew what it was like having my father there for a few years. I sat with the admissions and the nurse, and they were very accommodating. The place is clean, the caregivers are always excellent, and very caring. They gave me a list of activities to keep the residents very active. I can't say any more good things about them; they're one of the best. The rooms were accommodating, nice, clean, and each resident has their own bathroom. It's very homey, and they have wonderful people there.

I had an interesting tour at The Atrium. It gave me an idea of what I really need to look for. It was a beautiful and well-designed community, like living in a hotel. The activity room was in the center and a very big area. Off of that were smaller activity areas. There are two different dining rooms and two patios. They also had areas for walking. The rooms were one-bedroom apartments or studios. There was ample room to move around. Each room was equipped with cable for personal television and telephone, and every room had its own bathroom. The bathrooms were very spacious and had a shower with a very short step to get in, so there's no climbing. The staff was excellent, very nice, and very cordial. They followed up to check on my brother and moved through the facility all the time to make sure that somebody doesn't need something. They take care of all the patients and laundry and cleaning.

The Atrium at Drum Hill was very nice. The rooms were clean, nice, and a little small, but I liked the shower system. The staff was very friendly and very caring with the patients. They gave me a bag of cookies, but I didnt try the food.

The Atrium at Drum Hill was a very nice place. Our experience was positive. Because my aunt has the beginnings of dementia, we were looking at memory units. However, the thing about their memory unit was that it was a separate building from the regular assisted living. My aunt would probably have to move twice once things progressed.

The Atrium at Drum Hill was fine. It had a huge sunny gathering room; which I thought was good. Their dining-room seemed alright. It’s not a question that any of these places were bad or anything like that; the biggest problem I saw was just the cost factor.

The Atrium at Drum Hill was very knowledgeable about people that have Alzheimer's at different stages, and they were very forthcoming in what we can expect, but not pushing in any way for us to go their direction. They felt that my mother-in-law wasn't a good candidate for them, and they recommended other places, so I appreciated that.
The people there were at advanced stages of memory loss. They don't have the apartment setups that some of the other assisted living facilities have. It was mainly like a hotel room with a bath. When we were there, they were in the middle of having a choral reading where people were reading together. They had art activities, and they also had recreational activities. The dining room looked nice, but I didn't see the food. They sat and talked with us for a long time, and that was really nice. I was impressed with the time they took with us.

The Atrium at Drum Hill was wonderful. The staff was fabulous. They were very caring and intuitive. The food was excellent. They tried to tailor the activities with the residents. If they found the resident to have a particular interest, they would try to have that. They had engineers, so they tried to do science projects. They did a lot. I was very happy with their services when my husband stayed there.
