Atria is proud to announce that 65 of its communities – 40 of which are from the Atria Senior Living brand – have been recognized by the top senior living referral services, A Place for Mom and Caring.com.


In 2026, 54 Atria communities (29 within the Atria Senior Living brand) received the Best of Senior Living award from A Place for Mom. The Caring Star award from Caring.com was awarded to 11 Atria communities (five within the Atria Senior Living brand). Eight of those communities (four from the Atria Senior Living brand) received Caring Super Star awards, an acknowledgement that they have earned the Caring Star award three or more years.


The Best of Senior Living – According to Resident Experts


Because these awards are based on reviews from residents and their families, they represent the most important opinions of all: the people Atria serves every day.


“Our goal is to offer seniors an environment where they have the support and community they need to thrive, live purposefully and maintain their independence,” says Melanie Bedell, Vice President of Sales for Atria. “The benefits of this reach far beyond our doors, impacting the well-being of our residents, their families and their friends.”


Serving residents and their families from the start


Many people begin the process of searching for senior living online, which is why Atria has designed every community’s website to include available floor plans, monthly pricing and customer reviews that highlight community life. This transparency allows consumers to easily find important information early in their search.


“I moved to be closer to my family. Little did I expect to build a new one here,” says Noel in a recent review of Atria Golden Creek on APlaceForMom.com. “I have happiness in my life I never expected. The place is clean, and the staff is wonderful.”
