1 Nursing Homes Community in Lafayette, California

Atria Park of Lafayette is nice. If I had the money, I'd go there. The people were really accommodating, and they showed us the place. Just one word: superb. They have social activities, I saw a lot of games, and there was lots of stuff going on. Sometimes they do something one-on-one, and the atmosphere there was good. I looked at the presentation in the dining area, and the food that I saw was mouth-watering. The staff knows what they're supposed to say, they know their craft. They have one of the more modern assisted living buildings, but you can't even tell because it looks like a mini hotel. If I had clients looking for an assisted living place, and if they couldafford it, the first thing I would recommend would be this place.

We toured Merrill Gardens at Lafayette. It was brand new, very clean, with a very open plan, but a little bit sterile. They have an underground parking garage, which was nice. The units were nice, but a little bit on the small size. The staff member who helped me was alright. He was just filling in for somebody else. He was able to answer some questions but not everything. We didn't observe any activities. They have a small gym, a small theater, a card room, a small library, and a garden space. Merrill Gardens at Lafayette was OK; however, the layout was rather cold and confusing, and that was part of the problem. Also, they need to make sure that the people that show you around are more informed as well.

My visit at Atria Park Lafayette was great. It was a beautiful community with everything you'd hope to have, although it's expensive, so we're hesitating. They showed us one studio apartment that was very high-end. There were a lot of activities going on, the facilities were new, and the place was clean and bright. Aside from housekeeping, they had three meals a day plus snacks available, and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. They had a whole menu of assisted living facilities if we needed it.

Atria Park of Lafayette is an outstanding community that's newer than one of its sister communities we have visited. It's a very large place. The dining area is large and comfortable. There are lots of options on the menu. It was a very good experience. They have everything from daily movies to outings to town, shopping, and casino, and a variety of activities off site. They also provide transportation to and from the doctors' and the grounds are impeccably maintained.

Atria Park of Lafayette was very nice. It's assisted living and memory care and very expensive. They had a beautiful view, they had a great dining room, a nice exercise center and activities, and they have a theater. The facilities were very nice, but they were a little bit more limited than what we were looking for. It seems to cater more to memory care and my clients were looking for a place that is more active. Though there are things there to do, it was really geared more toward memory care. We didn't eat any of the food, but we were there at lunchtime and the food looked great. They have a personal chef there, but the individual rooms were very small.
