Phoenix Senior Living

We would like to know more about what is going on.

OK

A + since no covid-19 at Retreat. Management unorganized. Hard-working maintenance but not enough to be able to keep the jobs alone. Retreat cleanliness C+. Food very good but no dietitians. Have too many starches. Not enough activities for residents to enjoy. Friendly residents. Have Bible study and Sunday worship.

Fair. Food is a 0.

I am 93 years old. I have lived here for 14.5 years. The people who live here are like family. We have a great Activities Director. We normally meet for exercises 5 days a week, play bingo. Soon, when the remodeling is finished, we'll have lunch and other things.

Because of the virus, things are certainly different from when I moved here a year ago! If you have a doctor's appt, etc. you must stay in your apartment for 7 days. We have not had anyone ick as far as I know. They try hard to keep us safe! I think some foods have been hard to get but we have plenty to eat. Also a lot of construction on the lawn, drainage, and public area inside the building going on.

The facility was kept pretty clean, however we wished our loved ones room could of used the same attention the community received when it came to cleaning. The staff generally cared about the residents, however there were time we had to make request to get his room cleaned or get him changed. We don't think there was enough follow up attention, we think they could of done a better job staying on top of the residents who needed more assistance. Although when we first visited we really liked the overall physical appearance of this community, it looked like a nice place to live. The individuals we dealt with at that time were very helpful and passionate about the residents. The food was okay, it wasn't terrible. For holidays like Memorial Day they would have cook out. The rooms are this community overall are good size.

The nurses seem to spend a lot of time on their phones. Sometimes you get a really good person. But a lot of times they just seem like they don't want to be bothered. Sometimes it's hard to find staff members. I went to visit my dad and didn't see a staff member for about 30 minutes.

Apartment is lovely and management staff is friendly and approachable. However management is very inconsistent and unsatisfactory regarding transportation to and from scheduled medical appointments. Hours of transportation varies weekly and appointments usually need to be made well in advance. Unfamiliarity of policies and guesses to answer questions. Alternative meals as stated on weekly menus, are often not available. Menus the greater variety. Residents name tags would be very helpful.

This is a lovely facility. The residential services director and the sales director are knowledgeable and passionate. It is more independent living than assisted; consequently, I had to hire private caregivers for 8.5 hours 7 days a week (additional $900 per week) to help my 87 year old mother with personal hygiene and daily living activities. The facility seems to have 1 aid per floor to help residents, and they seem to work double shifts too often. Overworked assistants are not always nice nor provide the best care. Presently, Atria staff is supposed to check and assist mother overnight and deliver her breakfast tray in the morning since the private sitter arrives at 10. We have experienced constant miscommunications with management and Atria staff, activities are often cancelled, don’t know who or when trash pick-up is and the AC hasn’t worked and has been “being repaired” since move-in. I just got a mailbox key, Nov. 9 although we moved in September 8. I’m still unclear on mother’s medication management. Atria Buckhead is very close to where I live which is good since I have to go over so often. Overall, my mother needs more assistance than Atria can provide. If your loved one is more independent, this is a nice 1st step from their home.

Don’t know where to begin. Nurses stations unmaned constantly at all shifts, call bell answers are seriously delayed, and questions go unanswered. Even though you will not get an answer they are happy to shake you down for every min of your free time. I have more respect for mobsters and how they handle money, budgets, and business. They want their payment yet can’t send me an invoice. I have yet to see anyone from a management team have any healthcare skills. All of them have business degrees and can’t answer a health question if they tried. I have tried to get a progress report on my loved one. They looked at me like they had NO idea what I was talking about. Too bad- this place is beautiful and has so much potential.

This place does not listen to its residents. The on site managers may be here a year and be fired. The current on site manager spends too much time in his office and does not listen. The site is spending thousands to repair a yard sprinkler system that won’t be used after the first water bills come in. They should just fix the sprinklers where they have just laid sod. The money saved should be used to build a security fence, clean gutters twice per year, replace the wood around the windows, repair/replace fascia and soffits, buy a new station wagon, fix the lift on the bus.

Did not like the location and the rooms are too small.

Did not like the locTion

New and beautiful but very expensive. The apartment are very small. Staff friendly. We haven't seen much people leaving there. Offer therapy but no gym. Very nice activities. Nice dinning room, offer kitchen for family events.

This community was an older one and we felt that it was a nice set up as the assisted living was monitored very well and then they offered some very nice Cottages for those looking for Independent living. You do have the option to come to the dining room for your meals if you were in the cottages. I did not feel that my father-in-law would be a good fit in the Cottages and he felt he did not fit in the assisted living as they did not seem to be as active as he is. The rooms were nice and the staff did a nice job showing us around.

My dad is still adjusting to his move here, and the staff is working really hard to help him. He likes exploring his new surroundings , there is a great courtyard with a coe pond and they have remodeled the front so he likes going out there as well and he really enjoys the Sunday church service. Dad likes going down early for his meals because he likes visiting with the residents as they come in the dining area. We have had some issues in the beginning and they are being addressed. The staff has been great they do respond quickly when he uses his call button and they explain why it might have taken them a bit longer as they were helping others so that he understands.

My bother toured this community for our mother, and her needs. For the most part everything went well, but we did not feel this was the right fit for my mother, and her needs. We did find another community that suited our needs better overall.

My tour of this community was a decent one. The community looked okay. The staff I met was kind, but I didn't notice many aids. I didn't feel this was the right fit for me, and my needs.

For the most part I have no complaints about my mothers experience so far at this community. She has had no issues with the food and has enjoyed getting involved in some of the different events and activities they have going on through the week. I like most of the staff that work there but I have a problem with some of them. A small percentage of the staff should not be working there they can not even say hi when we walk in.
