The COVID-19 pandemic has forced us all to rethink the way we engage with the world and each another. At Atria, how we stay connected looks different right now. But why we do it is more important than ever.

With support from Mayo Clinic Laboratories, we have administered more than 50,000 COVID-19 tests to employees, residents and third parties working in Atria communities. We continue to perform 4,000 to 5,000 tests a week, with a turnaround time of three to four days for results – faster than the national average.
When most of the country was experiencing PPE shortages, we worked with suppliers and chartered planes to ensure our communities had the supplies needed to follow safety protocols. We formed key partnerships to make our own gowns, hand sanitizer and hand soap to help keep supplies stocked.
To better protect residents from risks associated with hospital visits, we have outfitted our communities with equipment and technology – including smart TVs, BP monitors and pulse oximeters – for telehealth providers and local physicians to treat residents virtually.
During times of quarantine, residents enjoy fitness and learning opportunities, themed culinary experiences, guided meditation, indoor gardening and creative art projects.
Gathering with friends over a chef-prepared meal is one of life's simple pleasures. At select communities, small group dining options help residents enjoy both the food and the company of neighbors.
With face masks and proper social distancing, residents may stay active with walks, gardening and other outdoor pursuits. During times of quarantine, they can join walking programs accompanied by staff.
Residents stay active with daily fitness challenges, small group exercise classes in select communities and – during times of quarantine – doorway classes led from hallways and other common spaces.
Depending on state or local guidelines, family and friends can enjoy drive-up visits, gathering in designated outdoor spaces or visits inside resident apartments, all with proper PPE and social distancing.
Communities are equipped with tablets, mobile TV carts and conference lines to help residents connect with family and friends.
By logging in to the Atria Mobile app, families can easily see their family member's daily temperature readings and COVID-19 symptom check updates.

At Atria Tanglewood, we support our residents with the kind of warmth, humor and compassion you'd expect from family. And like a family, we consider everyone's needs and make decisions together. I often sit down with our residents and ask them how we can better serve them. This is their home, after all, and our job is to make it as welcoming and comfortable as possible. Stop by today for a visit - we would love to introduce your family to ours.
And we’ll respond accordingly. After all, it’s insights from people like you that help us continue to improve the Atria experience for our residents, their families, our staff and those connected to our communities.
