I recently visited my aunt at Atria Stafford and was delighted to see how happy she was. The staff and residents were were happy and very engaged. I was impressed that one of the dining room staff knew my aunts name and her favorite dessert. I’ve never seen her smile so much. I would recommend this community to anyone looking for a loved one.

During a very difficult time, my Mother had to select an assisted living facility. After careful consideration, we chose Atria in Manahawkin, NJ. From the initial contact and many subsequent meetings with the staff and touring the community, we and Mom chose Atria. She has since been moved into her apartment, and she couldn’t be happier. Personally, I can’t express how grateful my sister and I are that all (and I do mean ALL) of the staff are the epitome of compassionate, responsible and professional in their care for Mom. I suggest that anyone looking for assisted living to make an appointment and see just what I am talking about. I hope the powers that be, recognize this community and staff appropriately for all their excellent representation of their company and ideals. My sister and I are very grateful with the peace of mind that we have for all their efforts and hard work. Did I mention that I’m referring to ALL the staff? Thank you ALL!

My family met with the Atria staff in Stafford, NJ when we were looking for an assisted living community for my 92-year-old aunt. We were very impressed with the warm environment, saw that the residents were well cared for and happy, and very pleased with the scheduled activities and amenities. I would recommend Atria at Stafford to any family looking for a living situation for their loved one. You can rest assured that they will get the attention and care they deserve.

Atria has demonstrated sensitivity, compassion and caring from the first time we walked through the door. Not only with all our family members, but most importantly with my Mom. She began her stay here in independent living and now resides in memory care. Both areas have given my Mom the love and exceptional care our family has wished for. It would be hard to single out any individual at Atria because they’re all wonderful and really provide the love that the residents deserve. When we go to work or go away on vacation, we have no worries because we know Mom is in good hands.
