Atria Lincoln Place

I live in Atria Senior Living in Lincoln, Rhode Island. It's beautiful. We get excellent care from all of the departments. The food is good, but COVID is doing a job on all these homes that I don't like. We don't have independence anymore, it's terrible. The place itself is well run. The workers are great. They go out of their way to keep us happy. The staff is wonderful. My God, they couldn't be any better. They bend over backward for us. Of course, they had to let people go because of this COVID-19, and it's been a lot different. When it's normal, it's a beautiful place to stay, the trouble is it costs a little bit of money and I'm running out of money. Actually, you can do either independent living or assisted living, but right now I'm in assisted living because I need help from the nurses here. I'm putting in another claim with my long-term claim insurance, so they should handle that very soon. The food is good. We have several good chefs here. They're very good. The activities were very good. In fact, since COVID-19 has taken over, we've missed them terribly, but we have no choice. The director here is excellent because we never had one case of COVID-19 and we're so proud of that. He's very strict and I'm glad about that. I think it's expensive. I'm running out of money and that means I have to look for another place to live shortly. I think I pay $4,400 a month for a studio. I have a nice room. The staff is excellent. They're the best. We all have housekeeping once a week. They change my bed and wash the sheets. Any time anything goes wrong all we have to do is call the desk and they'll send someone up and they'll do whatever they have to do. They're very efficient. I don't participate in too many activities. I just go to the serious meetings, but the people who go for the activities, they love it, and they can't wait for them to come back after COVID is all done. We have to wear masks with everything we do. We can't go outside for a walk around the building unless we have a mask on. We have to sit far away from each other. They're excellent. They're taking excellent care of us. If you're a person with a lot of money, the value is excellent, but when you don't have a lot of money and you go wondering how long you're going to stay here; it's a little bit high. I'm an average resident here. We have had several people that had to move out because it was getting a little bit too high. If they put up the rent again this month, I'm out of here, and I mean it.

My brother and I visited the Atria. The girl that took us around was very knowledgeable and very professional. They were getting ready to eat, so we went into the dining room, and they told us everything about the place. For the residents, they have bingo and card games. They had movies, parties, and cookouts. What we didn’t like about the place was they had a pool, but outsiders could use the pool, which I didn’t care for. It’s a beautiful place; it’s just too far from me.

Atria Lincoln Place is a wonderful facility. The place is absolutely breathtaking. They have wonderful people, very kind and compassionate. It's expensive, but you got treated like royalty. My mother-in-law stayed here for a couple of weeks, and she loved it.

Atria was excellent, and the girls who took care of us were excellent as well. However, it was more expensive. My mother didn't like the apartment that much, but they were nice.

Atria is an upscale assisted living. They only take paying patients and they don't take anyone that has Medicaid. It is a very nice place. They have separate building for Alzheimer's patients. In the regular building they have activities room, swimming pool, a beautiful dining room, and a gathering room. The individual apartments are really beautiful. It has a mini refrigerator and a microwave. You can have your room painted any color you want. You can bring whatever you want from home. It's more like an apartment than a rest home room. It was very nice. The staff was very friendly. I had inquired for my uncle and his wife. They keep me updated with what's going on. They have different activities, like they have trips where they take residents to different places. Their facilities are like a 4-star hotel. It was very nice. I like the apartment style living. I also liked that they had a pool. I have two artificial knees, and that's a very good therapy for knees. It's very spacious. You could do a 5-mile walk in there without a problem. The grounds outside are very nice. They usually have all kinds of chairs where the patients can sit. It's a really lovely place.
