I've been here 6 months and I love it as much as the first day. I love the food, the staff, the residents and its home to me now.
Went to visit my gammy when she used to live there and it was amazing, the upbeat music during happy hour and the food is to die for. looking forward to living there only if i have to leave my farm house until then ill continue visiting from time to time !

Staff is caring, lots of friends. Great location
Great place, great location, great people I have lived here for 10 years and very glad I chose the Atrium.
Amazing team and atmosphere! I’d recommend anyone to come visit and see for yourself. You’ll love the people here!
Love the wine in the music at happy hour
If I could give negative stars, I would. My father in law passed away in his apartment and was left to decompose for AT LEAST FIVE DAYS before the management checked on the odor and called the police and funeral home. The funeral director was horrified and said the staff is "awful" and that he saw residents had written notes and taped them to the walls of the hallways saying "this place smells!" as he went to the 3rd floor to collect the body. We drove straight through from several states away to get there to take care of his belongings and the manager, Adam, tried to say he'd seen our relative more recently, then changed his story when confronted with the professional opinion of the mortician. We could smell the stench of death as we walked into the large facility and those poor other residents had to live with that for nearly a week! Adam actually said, when greeting us, "do you know what you're walking into?" Then just gave us the key without accompanying us. When we got to the room, the only thing they had done was cut out the carpet where he had died and put bio-fans in to move the air. My husband and I had to work two days in that "ground zero" apartment wearing hazmat suits and masks (that we had to purchase) in order to grab just basic paperwork and search through his belongings to be sure we had everything. No staff or management ever checked on us to see if we needed anything or offer condolences. Just told us to leave the key when we were done. 99% of my father-in-laws belongings, personal effects and memory items that had been dear to my husband had to be left behind to be disposed of because of the permeating foul odor. Can you imagine the pure hell that was to be breathing in the stench of our loved ones ignored dead body??? We will be reporting this facility to the proper authorities in Florida. They DO NOT CARE about the residents, they do not care about the families and they try to cover up their insufficiencies. I wouldn't leave my worst enemy is this place. Don't let your loved ones stay here, for God's sake! And if they are there, move them out to a properly managed facility asap!
