"Staying in touch with family and friends is important to our residents. E-mail is frequently the easiest way to keep in touch, especially with tech-savvy grandchildren. To make communication easier, many Atria communities provide computers specifically for resident use. Frequently located in the library, computers and Internet access allow our residents to remain connected with their loved ones. Residents can send e-mails, exchange pictures and remain a vibrant member in the lives of old friends and family. "

"Atria recognizes pets are important members of the family. That's why most Atria communities allow them in residents' apartments. Moving to a new home doesn't have to mean leaving your furry friend behind – instead, they can enjoy the benefits of Atria with you. Talk to the Executive Director to learn if your pet will fit in at the community of your choice."

"Atria offers a respite (retreat) program for seniors who need assisted living services on a short-term basis. Atria Retreat permits seniors to test the waters of senior living. By allowing guests to stay for a short time in an Atria community, potential residents can decide if senior living is right for them. The retreat program is also an alternative to high-cost inpatient rehabilitation following an illness or surgery. Should a patient be ready to leave the hospital but not ready to go home, Atria offers the comforts of home and 24-hour assistance until they get back on their feet. All of our Retreat guests enjoy the same great amenities as our full-time residents, including delicious restaurant-style meals served daily, a full calendar of social activities, scheduled transportation service and more."
