We visited Atria Crossgate. I liked that they were very friendly. The people seemed happy and very nice. The staff and guy who took me around were friendly. It was a very friendly place, and the people seemed like they were in good spirits. I thought the kitchens were a little shabby and should probably be updated for the residents.

The staff at Atria Crossgate give me the support that I need. The people are wonderful. My room is very nice, and the dining room is fabulous. We have a chef, and the food is very good. They have movies every night and games as well. We also go shopping. I would recommend this place to anyone.

My mother-in-law is in Atria Crossgate. I find that it is an adequate facility. I sense that the residents are kept safe, well-fed, and clean. It is not a luxurious facility. There are aspects of the building that are not as first rate as they can be largely because of the age of the facility.
There are many activities, and there seems to be very caring personnel. I think that I am satisfied. The dining room is welcoming. The food is varied. There is a chef from the Culinary Institute of America. They attempt to make the meals appealing. They seem to have many choices. The one thing that is clear is that the size of the dining room is not sufficient for the number of residents, but they do have two sittings. Indirectly, that is a good thing because I know that at many places have controversies for what time they like to eat. There are always people that are early risers who eat dinner early and go to sleep early, and there are people who feel that that is too early. So by actually having two sittings, they are probably being more accommodating to their residents' needs.

The Atria was my least favorite of the places I visited. It is a very old building. It has low ceilings. The rooms are really small. The paint and all the woodwork need a paint job on the inside. The air conditioners are in the windows, and they have aluminum foil around the air conditioners so the heat doesn't come in. It's a really a cob job everywhere you look. It was clean, but it was still really old. The pipes, when you go into the bathroom, might have a little rust on them.
There was one girl to show us around, and she was great, very friendly and knowledgeable. The dining room is just small, like the cafeteria, and then there are little tables there. You're right on top of the table next to you; there's no room in between the people.
Outside is nice looking. It's the inside. Some of the rooms, if you're in that part of the building, look out at the woods, which are pretty. They have deer there, and the deer do come up to the building and up to your bird feeder if you have a one. They invited us for lunch, but we went to where they were cooking. The chef was making cheese blintzes, and he was sautéing them and buttering a frying pan, which was greasy. It was not a healthy option.

We felt mother needed more socialization with people her age and that she would have some interaction other than just being at home. So, we picked Atria Crossgate on that criteria. She stayed there for four years, which indicates that we were pleased by her being there. I liked the ambiance because it was small and she did not have to go on an elevator to get to her quarters. She stayed on her own studio apartment.
The people around her were caring. The other residents were very nice and considerate. I liked the fact that it is very low key. It had a fireplace that kept lit in the wintertime which was very cozy. It is small enough that you get the feeling that people are not remote. People are familiar.
A lot of the caregivers were Indian, which was a little difficult. We were dealing with people who have heavy accents. We're not sure they understand or know the culture that well, so that was a little off putting. But that was only in the very end that we had that.

I chose Atria Crossgate and I'm moving there. The people there are happy, the patients seem to be happy, and the people say hello to you. I asked two of the staff members how long they've been there. One said seven years, and the other said ten years. The lack of turnover is amazing, There are many activities. I saw a foldable sheet packed with activities. The food is excellent.

My father is a diabetic and has insulin every day, so it's going to be very expensive at Atria Crossgate. I was not happy that there was a $450 charge just to make sure that my mother is giving his insulin properly. The people were wonderful, and the staff was very nice. They introduced us to people and gave us a little treat when we left. The grounds were nice but not as nice as the other place we toured. It was built in the 1970s and the hallways were narrow, the ceilings weren't high, and it wasn't as bright as I would've liked it to have been especially for my father. My mother might be OK because her eyesight is better but with my father's macular degeneration, it just was not adequate, and it was very expensive. Because of their enhanced license, I'd give it a higher rating. Other than that, I wouldn't want to live there personally. They had a little cafe and a dining room. It looked OK, and everybody seemed to be happy with it. The staff was excellent, very kind, patient, and wonderful. They were all very nice, polite, and accommodating.

Atria Crossgate was an older, really small community. The man who gave us a tour was very good. The place was friendly, plus the people seemed like they were in an older group. The rooms were small.

Atria Crossgate was a nice place, but the price was too high. The facility was nice. However, the price as I understood was more toward assisted living and not independent living. I did not investigate too much further after I found out what the price was.
