"Atria Riverdale is top shelf. This is much better than I ever expected. My sister was in and out of nursing homes and for various reasons, a lot of my friends were in nursing homes as well, so I was exposed to a lot of homes. And I'm not kidding, Atria is way above. First of all, their activity sheet is second to none. You've got to have to actually be in a home to see what it's like. Some of them are terrible. Here, they're trying hard. I could see it. They're constantly taking temperatures, they come around once in a while to check blood pressure, they check late at night to make sure I'm all right. They check in the morning, too. I was really impressed that they really want to take care of the person. The staff, especially in the dining room is fantastic. They go out of their way to help you. And if at the last minute you got to go to a doctor, no trouble, they make up a box lunch right away. This actually happened to me a couple of times. I had to go to the last minute and I went into them. No questions asked. They made a box lunch for me. Their menu is second to none. They give you a choice on main dish, they give us soup every day, they give a salad every day and they give a choice of desserts. And you can ask for more. I'm a retired food inspector. The dining room staff is fantastic. They have the right attitude, and if you want a little something different from the menu, and if they have it you got it. They have something that other places don't have. They have multiple choice, like they have exercises, they have bingo games, they have lectures, and they have a movie. Other places can't match it. And I've been to other places. They don't have the activities that they have here. We still got to wear a mask. They don't want large groups. And they're very conscientious about visitors. A person could have the virus and not know what. And all you need is one instance and a place like this in trouble. We have quite a few people living here, and they're all senior citizens, and they could easily come down with something. I've been here for over nine months now. It's not cheap and none of these places are cheap. But I didn't want to go back to my apartment. I had a nice apartment with a doorman in the building. But here I have I have friends, I developed friends already. And as far as I'm concerned, I stay here. The staff is going to work with you. There's entertainment, they have therapists come around periodically to work with you, too. I would say they were on top of things."
