Independent Living in Rye Brook, NY

Stephanie H., Engage Life Director at Atria Rye Brook, helped our organization at U.S. Veterans' Rowing & Kayaking to create a very special event this month for the residents. Eight residents participated in an indoor rowing regatta on Concept 2 rowing machines and 3-of them set world rowing records! She has done an outstanding job engaging our program Veterans and family members to continue to stay active and fit.

The Atria at Rye Brook was very nice. My mother really liked it a lot. She liked the sense of community, the amount of programs available and the location. They had a lot of guest lecturers and movies. They call their dining room a restaurant and if families come to visit they can eat there with the resident. Some places do not allow that.

My wife and I have been guests at the Atria Rye Brook for seven months. Last fall, I spent a month investigating various options for us and felt that this was the best choice for us. The building is attractive on the outside and even nicer on the inside. The building is kept scrupulously clean. There are concerts, all sorts of games and contests, current events discussions, arts and crafts sessions, movies and exercise sessions in the gym. I sometimes feel I'm in a sleep away camp, rather than a senior citizens residence. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and go out of their way to make guests comfortable. For residents who need extra help, there is a home care service on the premises. Residents can have someone help them with various activities such as showering, dressing, doing the laundry and with to the dining room. Everyone\'s room is cleaned once a week. After living here for seven months I feel I made the right choice about a place to stay.
