Atria Rocklin

We love our experience at Artia Rocklin. My mom needed respite care after a fall and surgery. Nate worked his magic and found a room for her at a days notice. The staff welcomed my mom with open arms! We are a week into her stay and have no regrets. This is a view outside her window.

I am a disabled veteran with a service dog. As I aged it got more difficult for me to simply do the normal things in life, such as shop, prepare meals, clean up afterwards, housekeeping, yard maintenance, home repairs, .... I decided to look into options. Now change is not something I like doing, and changing my living conditions is one of the top 3 changes that produce the most stress. In looking around on the web I inquired about a dozen, one being Atria Rocklin. I visited half of those when I got an invite from Atria Rocklin for their October Fall Festival. I attended. It was a very good event, with lots of people sitting at tables set up in the parking lot, music and great food in buffet style. I got to go table to table talking to people about how they liked living at Atria Rocklin ... what they liked, and didn't like. The only dislike I heard was from one guy that said, 'A lot of people here just can't hear too well'. Hahaha I could relate to that. So I decided that was were I was going to move to, as moving to a two bedroom apartment with a single car garage would probably be the less stressful change moving from a 3 bedroom 2200 square foot house with a 2-1/2 car garage. I was right, and I was wrong. I concluded any move is just plain stressful. The biggest stress at this point in my life turned out to be, 'Downsizing'. I accumulated a lot of, 'Good old stuff' over the years, and found it not easy to release some of it. I chose to take a month moving and moved stuff over to Atria Rocklin day by day (fortunately I lived in a neighboring city). I put things away day by day, and when a space was full I was done. The rest was sold, donated, or given away. It turned out easier than I thought. One of the nice things about my day by day approach was I had lunch, or dinner on those days. I got to sit at different spots with different people in the dining room. I got to talk with people. I am of the, 'Different strokes for different folks' view of the world. I found there was plenty to do at Atria Rocklin. I particularly liked the 2 exercise classes a day, and the weekly Happy Hours and monthly 'Friday Social'. The staff is A+ and the friendly, helpful nature easily turns a dull day into sunshine and smiles. I have a service Dog, a Labrador Retriever. He fits right in, and I think is more loved by most of those that meet him than they will admit. I like the food preparation here, and so does my dog. Personally I really enjoy a glass of wine, a fillet of sole with baked potato and vegetable and chat with a resident friend for dinner. Followed by a cup of coffee and a desert brings me smiles, as I don't have to prepare, or clean up, just enjoy, and enjoy I do. After a year at Atria Rocklin, like those I talked with at the Fall Festival, I have no negatives and simply a boatload of pluses and smiles. I made the right choice, even though I have found that a lot of people here really can't hear very well.

The Atria and the staff are so great. They truly bent over backwards for our family to get my mom into the independent living. Nate was especially helpful and supportive when it was hard to make the tough choices for my 89 year old mom’s best interest. I can’t say enough how much I love the staff and the facility.

I moved my Mom in 3 days ago. Atria gave me a list of movers in the area, I used New Leaf Senior Transitions to help me back and help sort and downsize and I used the movers they are set up with, Fuller Moving Services. It was a great day. All the packers and movers were wonderful to me and my Mom, and caring with with her possessions. Every person we have met at Atria, Director, Sales, maintenance man, they all came through her apartment on the first day to check in and make sure everything was going smoothly. Every resident that passed us said hello and welcome. Could not have been a better move in day. We even had dinner delivered to her apartment for both of us as we were tired from the move, and dinner was delicious! I now can rest knowing my Mom is happy, safe, and will be checked on everyday. I am very happy with Atria Rocklin. 5 Stars !
