My mother stayed at this facility and I was shocked at how poorly she was treated. Here are my main takeaways about life at the Atrium.
-Staff: Terrible. Absolutely terrible. The staff would blatantly ignore the residents, even when they asked for help. They would do anything to get out of having to work. Then at Christmas time, they had the audacity to ask for tips. Yeah, right.
-Food: The quality of the food was terrible. I've seen better foods in jails. Not to mention how many residents were struggling to feed themselves, as the staff members just sat around and laughed.
-Activities: None.
For the money you'll spend, this place is a total nightmare. You would have better luck anywhere else. I promise.

We chose The Atrium at Faxon Woods since it is the best fit for my mother. The faculty is wonderful and invested in the residents. They get to know them and make them feel comfortable, which is great. The facility is very clean and the rooms are a good size. They have different activities to keep the residents busy and entertained.

Atrium was very clean. The staff seemed very nice, very professional, and did a very good job with the people who have dementia. They were engaged with the people. I was impressed by the staff and the facility.

We visited the Atrium. The rooms were very clean, pleasant, sunlit, and very nice. They had physical therapy and amenities, but my needs are different. The staff was very friendly, approachable, and down to earth

The staff who did the tour was nice. The Atrium at Faxon Woods was a nice, small, and quaint place, but I didn’t like the fact that you would have to share a room. In most places, you have one living room, a kitchen area, and an actual bedroom. Theirs is actually one bedroom and that was it. It’s more expensive. The grounds were nice, and there was a lot of area for everyone to be out of their rooms. I just didn’t care for it privacy-wise. For the price, I would expect much more.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback and tour our community! Although we do offer a few private and companionship rooms, most of our rooms are smaller because we specialize in memory care. We have found that individuals who have some form of dementia do much better in a smaller environment, there is less confusion. Since we are not a traditional assisted living we are able to offer a much higher level of care than most assisted livings out there.If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out (978)934-0000.

The Atrium at Faxon Woods was very good, but their level of functioning was lower than where my mother is currently. I was taken by how small it is because I'm used to much larger facilities. A lot of the people were inactive and sleeping, but the appointment I had was after lunch. The staff was wonderful as far as greeting and sitting down, and it was clean and fairly modern.

My parents are at The Atrium at Faxon Woods. The facility is just for memory care. The rooms are fairly large. It has two separate wings, and the only connection between the wings is the dining area. Their food is good. The staff is very nice. I can't say good enough things about this place. They do have different things going on. They do reading, exercises, pianists, and impersonators. There's like a couple of activities every day. What I like is that my parents are well taken care of. They have onsite dental and a doctor who comes in. They setup my father's pacemaker check. They just take care of everything.

I thought the staff at The Atrium at Faxon Woods was very courteous, helpful, and actually spent a lot of time explaining not only the tour, but on the different scenarios and I think that was very helpful to us. We felt that she was very kind and generous and followed up all the same and made sure that all of our questions and concerns were addressed. Personally, we didn’t feel that it would be the right facility for our mother. The location of the facility is very remote. It's like way up on the hill and I felt it was out of the way.
Provider Response
Thank you so much for sharing. Your words mean everything to us! We love what we do and are extremely proud of our team. Individualized care is one of our hallmarks as we strive to meet the distinct needs of each resident. Please feel free to contact us if we can ever be of any help at all.

My brother chose Atrium at Faxon Woods for our father because they said they handle all kinds of memory care. It is a locked in facility and my dad had a plenty of room where he can walk. It is a clean and beautiful place and so far my dad is comfortable there because it has a homey feeling. The staff is alright.

My client is staying in The Atrium at Faxon Woods. She has been there for about six weeks now. Everything is going very well. This facility is absolutely fabulous. Their level of care is very good, everything is perfect from start to finish. The facility is very clean, pleasant and very inviting. Their rooms are probably about 14 x 14, but they are in a very good condition. Everything looks clean and presentable. My client likes the variety of food in the menu and she thought the quality of it is very good. She has no complaints about it.
