My mom moved into Longmeadow last year and has been very happy. The food is good and there's a wealth of activities - music, movies, crafts - to keep her as busy as she wants to be. The staff is warm and friendly, as well. It's a leap of faith to move into assisted living, but Atria has made this a positive experience.

My mother moved in 3 months ago. We have been very happy with our choice in Atria. Mom has nothing but good things to say about it. She is comfortable, the staff is friendly and attentive, many opportunities to socialize at a variety of interesting events and during mealtimes, and the facilities are clean and well taken care of.
I recently helped my parents move into Atria Longmeadow. They toured numerous assisted living facilities in the area but liked Atria Longmeadow the best. The facility staff are outstanding and very attentive. The exterior is kept up very well and my parents love sitting in the garden area. The inside is extremely well maintained, clean, smell fresh and the decor is updated. The food is wonderful and the entire kitchen staff are excellent. The bus takes them around to various places like the mall, local ice cream and grocery shopping. The social activities are wonderful, and my parents have many new friends as all the other residents are outgoing and welcoming. My parents also feel well cared for and secure which is very important to me and them. After three months of living at Atria Longmeadow, I asked my folks if they were still happy or should we consider looking elsewhere. They both responded with a resounding "we love it and don't I dare try to move them". For the first time in many years, they were both smiling and were enjoying their senior years. I highly recommend Atria Longmeadow.
The atmosphere at Atria Longmeadow is warm and inviting. Common areas are spacious and the apartments are pleasing. The grounds and especially the back garden are lovely. The staff especially Diane, Melissa and James is respectful but caring too, and always helpful. They have done as much as possible to deal with the limitations of covid. I am looking forward to working with them The first time I walked into Atria I knew it was the place for everyone. In general, the facility is bright , clean, and cheerful, with a great view that provides lovely paintings. The dietary staff aims to please--they will, with a little notice, cook up a favorite dish. And in general, the food is quite good--I was pleasantly surprised-really didn't seem like institutional cooking. The menus are varied, and there are numerous options. The residents seem to be a mixture of people who are mostly independent, and there are quite a few men, which is not the case with other facilities we visited. In all, Atria definitely deserves its 5 stars!
We moved my mom to Atria a year ago, it was a difficult decision, I delayed the move for many months because of my mom's resistance to leaving her home of 65 years, but she was unable to live alone anymore. I visited several Assisted Living places and by far, Atria had the best vibe overall. It's beautiful, safe and clean with a bright and friendly atmosphere. The whole staff is warm and inviting, every time I visited Atria it stood out because it seemed like more of a community with active residents out and about and staff members who truly care about the residents. I know it's a cliche to say they treat residents as family, but they absolutely do; I have seen it in practice repeatedly. It starts with James the Exec Director, and Maggie who is the Activities and Lifestyle Director, the compassion, kindness and caring cascades down through all the ranks. Patty the nurse has frequently gone above and beyond, the aides are some of the finest people I know. It melts my heart to see them interact and take care of my mom in such a loving way; Mary, Martha, Kim and Jessica are the aides I know best, but every employee I have encountered over the past year has been professional, kind and courteous. The front desk staff are an awesome group too, Sydney, Julia, Zara and Ricky, the whole crew are exceedingly helpful and field all my questions and concerns and help provide my mom extraordinary care that comforts her, and us. And shout outs to the maintenance crew too, George, Clay, Edwin and all display the same kindness while taking care of the residents needs. While my mom misses her home, she assures me that she feels safe and well cared for there. As she says, "They all take really good care of me here." Music to my ears.
