When Joe opened his door in Texas to find a surprise delivery from Nevada, his face lit up with pure delight. The heartfelt card filled with messages from dozens of friends, along with a video of his favorite song performed just for him, proved that some bonds transcend geography – and that choosing the right senior living community means finding a place where you truly belong.
Joe’s story perfectly illustrates what makes the Atria experience so special. When he moved from Atria Seville in Nevada to Atria at the Arboretum in Texas to be closer to his family, he discovered that the connections he’d built weren’t left behind – they traveled with him.
What makes Atria different: It’s all about you
We believe that exceptional senior living starts with seeing each resident as a unique individual with their own story, interests and needs. Joe’s experience exemplifies this philosophy in action.
For years, Joe was a cherished member of the Atria Seville community. Known for his warmth and quick wit, he formed genuine friendships with both fellow residents and staff members. These weren’t just polite acquaintanceships – they were real connections built through shared experiences, daily conversations and the countless small moments that make Atria feel like home.
When life changes, your Atria family remains
When Joe decided to move to Atria at the Arboretum to be closer to his family, he faced the bittersweet reality many seniors know well: leaving behind a community that had become family. But here’s what makes our communities special: once you’re part of our community, you’re always part of our community.
Jill Biondo, Senior Engage Life® Director at Atria Seville, lives by a simple but powerful mantra: “I never want a missed opportunity.” When she learned that Joe was feeling homesick in his new Texas community, she saw the perfect chance to show him he hadn’t been forgotten.
The personal touch that defines Atria Senior Living
What happened next showcases the heart of what we offer our residents. Jill coordinated with colleagues to create something truly special for Joe:
- A heartfelt card filled with personal messages from dozens of residents and team members who wanted Joe to know he was missed
- A video of his favorite song, “Sweet Caroline,” performed by his favorite entertainer from Atria Seville
- A surprise delivery arranged through Atria’s network, bringing a piece of his Nevada home to his new community in Texas
When Joe received this unexpected gift, his joy was unmistakable. It reminded him that while addresses may change, the relationships and care he’d experienced at Atria Seville would always be part of his story.
