Vitality Living

Atria Evergreen Woods has done an excellent job so far! It's a nice looking, clean facility, and the staff have all been friendly and professional. They seem to treat all of the residents with great respect, which is very important. The food in the assisted living and independent living sections is fantastic, although the food in the memory section seems to be a bit more standard fare.

The staff is really friendly. They are very clean. She gets enough food, but we feel like when we buy a meal, and they are out of half the stuff and they don't offer a replacement. The quality of the food would be a four. There seems to be something going on all day. They seem to take pretty good about keeping them interested and offering lots of activities. They could do a little better with the housekeeping, they don't throw garbage away unless it's in the can. The same goes with the laundry, she won't put it in the hamper, so they don't take it. We liked how clean and the way they treated each other and us. They weren't just sitting grumpy in a wheelchair. It was a very up atmosphere. You didn't walk by one employee that did smile or talk to you.

Atria was by far the best community in the area. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. They have lots of activities on their calendar and invited us to a few. Also the chef and the food was great, the food was shockingly good, it was very tasty and they had a great menu. I think the pricing could be different so everyone could be equal, that is something I would change. Overall it's a good community and this is definitely an option for my parents if/when the times comes.

They were very clean. They were wonderfully friendly. They did give him good care. They had a lot of activities when he wanted to get involved. He was a good eater and he ate everything they gave him. I chose this because I was looking for a memory care unit and they had that. I especially liked that he was involved with people with the same problems. They weren't mixed. They treated him well. I felt very comfortable leaving him because I knew they would take care of him, he was in good hands.

Very nice people and a clean facility. My mother is now a resident of Aspen Village and I'm hoping she will be happy there. She has met some of the residents there and seems to be enjoying herself. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I am a little concerned about security.

I toured for my mom. It is just like her apartment. She felt very comfortable and was excited about all the activities and outings, especially the Saturday shopping with the ladies! We are seriously considering it after the holidays!

i love everything! so many activities and great happy hours. i love bingo and we play 6 days a week!

My only regret about moving here is that I didn't do it sooner. Every staff member is not only competent and helpful but without exception is friendly and more than willing to do whatever is needed. Most of the residents are friendly, too, but those who are never satisfied with anything just make the rest of us look better!

I loved Emeritus from the first day we pulled into the parking lot. There seemed to be a lot of happy people walking around and the interior was very clean, bright, well-decorated, and welcoming. I also can't say enough good things about the staff from the directors to the dining staff and care givers. Everyone who works there goes out of their way to be kind and helpful. Everyone smiles a lot and treats the residents and guests with respect and courtesy. My family and I are very pleased with Mom's accommodations in a companion suite. The room is spacious, bright and just what she needs. I am also delighted that their are so many activities available for the residents. My mom has been at Emeritus for approximately 3 weeks and I can tell already that she really likes it and is enjoying all the socialization opportunities. P.S. We loved the good food and the great dining experience. Residents and guests are given choices and treated as if they were in a fine dining restaurant. We are really glad that we found Emeritus through the agency called A Place For Mom.

The Gardens was one of the suggestions from the advisor and turned out to be just what we were looking for. They responded very quickly and once the decision was made my mother was moved in lest than two days.

Vitality provided a consistent place for my mom to receive her medications and community. My mom thrived from 11 am to 8 pm. She went to sleep fulfilled with accomplishments. At home alone she was scared and hopeless. The most negative thing at Vitality was when the lied about services, food or information. If you don't know then say so because lying always makes you look worse.

We chose Vitality Living Stony Brook because it's a smaller unit, so it felt cozy verses overwhelming. We loved the outdoor area and they go on field trips with memory care residents. It has not been perfect but we still feel it's been a great fit for our family. My husband's father has adapted to his new home well. He's participating in all the activities and enjoys his new friends. I feel like they have had a fair amount of turnover in staffing for the time my father in law has lived there. Just since March 2025.

Administrative staff changes constantly. I am not sure why. Kitchen staff was good when we arrived, then there were issues. Now they have a good chef and friendly servers. The caregivers truly care and go above and beyond loving on the residents. Their activity people truly love their job

Since we were in the independent living area when they first got started, there wasn't a lot of staff interaction or a lot of activities planned. My mom is no longer there, she's actually moved into a rental house, cause she wasn't quite ready for the apartment. My mother-in-law is there now and I think offerings have expanded a lot. I think she gets physical therapy and enjoys the music activities and things like that.

She was in assisted living and memory care 1=4 (AL) 5 (MC) 2=5 for both 3= 5 for both 4= 3 (AL) 5 (MC) 5=4 6=3 7 = 5 for both 8 = 5 Memory Care - staff is amazing. It is a very safe and caring place for loved ones with dementia or other memory issues. Assisted Living - great place for aging individuals who are fairly self sufficient and dint require medical assistance. Lots of fun activities each day and planned outings for those that want yo participate. Clean and safe environment. Administration is very involved with day to day operations.

The staff is caring and easy to talk to. There is a new dietician and the chef has asked for feedback from the residents to make it better - so I expect it to improve. New owners and currently undergoing a major renovation and will be beautiful when finished.

What they could improve on would be better quality food, having more healthy choices versus too many carbs. Drinks are mostly sweet juices. More staffing and resources. Lovely staff but sometimes they are short staffed.

Staff was/is very friendly and helpful when asked for help, even though I am a foreigner every time I came I was assisted the best and fastest way. Always a nice chat, at the front desk, laundry or anywhere on the floors or dining rooms. Great exercise classes, great soups and dishes, my aunt had a chance to enjoy good food for her last 3 years of life as she disliked cooking and was happy about this treat. She lived by herself mainly before that and cooked just one big pot of chicken soup for the whole week, week after week the same. She really enjoyed the variety, but specially the soups. She was able to enjoy her beloved cat as long as she was in her room, [name removed] gave her company. All in all, I think Vitality gave her some good time, even though she felt like in a cage sometimes. She wanted her independence but that was not a choice anymore after her severe injuries. Thanks to all the staff, great job.

My mom has been at The Gardens for about two months. She has been well taken care of and has made new friends. She has a nice clean room and is served good meals. She has adjusted very well to her new place. She is surrounded by people that care.

What we like the most about Vitality Court is that most of the staff are very compassionate and caring. However, the food is not great in variety or taste and that is something they could improve on. We would definitely recommend the community to other families based on the experience so far.
