The Atrium at Drum Hill

I went to The Atrium at Drum Hill. It was very nice, but it was more geared toward people with more advanced memory problems than what we have. It was a lovely place, but not for us. The rooms were very, very nice. It was like a little studio apartment, very sunny, and it was very nice with a little bathroom. The staff was very friendly and very, very nice. Everything was very good. I would highly recommend it to someone that needed it at that stage of their lives for sure. Everybody was friendly. The staff seemed motivated, and the people were smiling. Everybody was very caring. The room that they showed was empty, but it was nice, sunny, and bright, like a little studio apartment. Mostly, the people seemed friendly, homey, and just really nice people. Because of the pandemic, I didn't see much. They set me off and talked to the director for a while and then he showed me a spare room. I got to meet a couple of the staff members that he brought in to say hello, but I really didn't get to tour or anything given the current situation and pandemic, so it's a little different for me. I just saw one big room with a piano and things like that. I really didn't tour the whole place, but everyone I've met all looked pleasant.

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 didn’t try the food.
