We are all so relieved when my friend moved in to Atria El Camino Gardens. She is finally in a safe place. She really liked it, and she was impressed when she toured it. We have gone there for lunch a few times, and wow the food was excellent. The care that she's getting is just beyond what we had hoped for. They provide her with meals three times a day. She has somebody there who's doing everything that she needs. It is just amazing. We are very happy. The activities are good. There are so many things going on. This was not only affordable, but it's also very nice. It was a great find.

Atria El Camino Gardens was quite good. It was clean. It looked like a high-quality hotel. The staff was pleasant, and the residents looked happy. The person I dealt with was very nice. The food looked good, and the dining room looked nice. It looked like there was a fair variety of activities and excursions. They didn't have a pool but they have a recreation room and a library.

I was impressed with Atria El Camino Gardens. They're in a superior location. Their amenities are wonderful. They have a full service on just about everything. They have a library, an entertainment theater, exercises for the residents if they want it, good security, good housekeeping, and private gardens if people want to get outside and sit on a patio. They have just about everything you possibly could think of. Their food service is amazing. Their staff is amazing, too. The rooms and everything about them is a high rating for me.

We went to look at Atria El Camino Gardens. Everything was nice, clean, and neat. Everybody was helpful. Somebody came, showed us around, explained the whole place, and answered our questions. We liked that my brother could have his own room. It's a room with a bed and a bathroom. I liked it a lot. If I was older, I would stay there.

We have a friend who lives in Atria El Camino Gardens. She has a one-bedroom that's quite small. She didn't have any kind of a stovetop or anything like that, but she had a microwave, a living room, a separate bedroom, and a walk-in shower. It was nice. She was on the second floor and she had a dog. If you look out from the courtyard, almost everybody had a sliding glass door to see out. It was laid out nicely. It reminded me of a big hotel because it had long wide hallways. We were impressed with the place. The front desk lady was very kind. They had two dining areas. One was kind of fancier than the everyday meals. It had tablecloths and a menu that you could choose from. It was very lovely. Then the main dining hall was huge. They also have a little grill area where you can get a sandwich or a hamburger or a snack. The food was excellent. The only thing was there weren't a whole lot of choices. They have a little shuttle bus where they take people to their medical appointments or go shopping and stuff. They had trips to the casino and all kinds of activities to get them out. She has a sister-in-law there, too, and she has made some friends there. I'd see her playing cards or walking around visiting people. I think that they try to keep all of the people engaged and going. It's just up to the individual if they're going to take advantage of it or not.

Atria El Camino Gardens was very nice. I saw a lot of the residents and all the different things that they have to offer. They seemed very happy and were doing different activities. The rooms and upkeep were nice. I was very impressed. The staff was very friendly, very professional, very helpful, and just made me feel at home and comfortable. They had different areas outside, like a place for you to garden or sit out on the patio and taking in some sunlight or reading. I enjoyed it. They do different outings, go to different places, and do different craft activities. They have a community room and a fireplace where everybody can gather together and play games, as well as a movie room.

I went to go visit Atria El Camino Gardens. I thought it was very nice, very clean, and well put together. They had several restaurants on there that I think was beneficial because they don't just have one place. I liked that they had multiple options for the residents to pick what they wanted to eat. I also liked the service from Rick who was the guy I was working with, and he was very polite and very nice. The rooms that I checked out, the studio, and the 1-bedrooms were very, very nice, modern, clean, and better than most that I saw online. I just think that was a nice place for me, that I liked. Unfortunately, it was just a little too expensive when it came down to the level of care. But other than that, I thought it was a great place. The outside looks a little dated, but the inside is nice. I had really bad staff members, and then I had really good ones like Rick. They took our temperature and we wore a mask as well, just be careful with the other residents there. And when Rick toured me around, he did too.

Atria El Camino Gardens was nice and clean. It was inviting and it did not smell. It smelled nice, in fact. I felt like my mother would be happy there. The staff was great. When I walked in, they immediately greeted me. Then they took me into a waiting room to wait for the lady to come and give me a tour. I really wanted to be greeted like everybody's important, and they definitely did that. They have five restaurants there, but because of COVID, only one is open. For lunch, they had a bistro where you could go get a sandwich or a burger, or you could go into the full restaurant in the evening to go have dinner. It was all restaurant style. You would sit down, look at a menu, and order what you wanted. It wasn't like the big dining halls, so these seniors had choices, but unfortunately, because of COVID, only one was open. Once COVID opens up a little bit more, there will be five restaurants to choose from. The menu was pretty decent, but I wasn't able to taste anything. It was pretty active there, even considering COVID. They were keeping them entertained. It was a big facility.

Atria El Camino Gardens is a large facility, much larger than the two I have visited, and it's a nice place. They have three different dining halls, and they call them restaurants for the convenience of the residents. The residents are generally very cheerful and kind, but I noted that the people at the desk are a little stiff and were a little standoffish. They're more business-oriented rather than person-oriented. We placed my mother-in-law in their assisted living. I have tried their food and they had quite a variety. When we visited her, we couldn't participate in any activities because of COVID. We could barely come in and do anything when we got her moved in. It's a pleasant place though, they upgraded the facade and the look of the interior. They have courtyards and places where the family can meet, and I like her apartment. It's very clean and it's very nice. I've seen other places that are nicer, but still, Atria El Camino is a nice, comfortable place.

My mom has been in Atria El Camino Gardens for a week now, and it's beautiful. My mother loves to socialize and there is a lot of socialization going on in the place. I think that she'll be happy there. The rooms were great. They were all wonderful. My mom is in a one-bedroom apartment. They seem to have all different types of rooms to make people comfortable. They have art rooms, and they had a small women's club meeting going on when I was there. They also showed us a grand piano and talked about the entertainment they have. There are three restaurants, two of which are not reopened yet because of COVID, but the main dining room is open, and it's very nice. The menu looks great. She's had nothing but good things to say about the food too. I think they are a higher price than some of the places I looked at, but I think it's fair since it offers a lot more. I looked at a lot of facilities on the website and visited a couple of them, and they were all memory care. My mom has dementia, but I felt like she is not in that stage yet, so this is the right place for her. I really like Atria El Camino Gardens.

My mother was in Atria El Camino Gardens before she passed away. It was lovely. Mom was there for three years. She made a lot of friends there and at the beginning, she did a lot of activities before she got sick. We really liked it there. We moved her there because she had a couple of good friends there already. The food was excellent. It's a big place, but it's very well run. They had three restaurants, a library, and a lot of outdoor space. The staff was very caring. It wasn't until after she passed that we got a couple of get well cards that were signed by the waiters, the staff in the restaurants, and all of the nurses. One of the administration staff adopted her cat. She had a one-bedroom with lots of light.

My tour at Atria El Camino Gardens was wonderful and very thorough. We got to see the different areas where the seniors have their meals, and we got to see the salon. They showed us what one of the studios looks like. They were smaller studio rooms, but there was still quite a bit of room. If it weren't a private-pay thing, I could see my friend being there because it's a wonderful facility. They had a patio. They even have memory care for those who need it. It's a very wonderful place. If it were me looking for a place, I would feel safe there. The dining area was nice, and they had everything spaced out, so the COVID restrictions are being taken into account. People can go any time between seven in the morning and seven at night to sit down and have a meal, and it's like an open thing. There were three different dining situations at that particular place. They had a room where they had a big screen, and the room was used for different things. It would be a movie matinée one day, another day might be when they practice singing because they have a singing group, and another day might be for bingo. They have an activity room where they do arts and crafts and the like. If it were me looking for a place, I would consider that place. The staff was very helpful, very nice, and excellent.

My mother moved into Atria El Camino Gardens in October. It's excellent. They have limited activities because of COVID. They have various areas that you can congregate in and visit with other residents, but they are spaced out. They also have little luncheons. They don't really have full access to restaurants yet, but there are three on site. They can walk around.

We're moving my father to Atria El Camino Gardens next week. I chose it because I have a friend who is living there, so I thought they would have friendship together. The staff seemed efficient in doing their jobs. The rooms that I saw looked clean. It looks just exactly how you expect it to look. Everything's just right. Everything was really nice, pretty and well-kept.

My parents moved into Atria El Camino Gardens. It seems pretty good. They haven't talked about the food much. I believe they do have activities going, but they kind of slowed down on it because of the situation at the moment. They have a restaurant, but the rooms basically have a full kitchen, they have a studio, but they have a full kitchen, bedroom, cable, everything set up, internet, everything is there. The staff is very friendly, very open, very helpful, so it is very nice.

Atria El Camino Gardens was a better facility than where my client is now, but the price was high and they would not let me arrange for him to take his own medication. They insisted that they give him the medication, which cost him $600 a month. The staff members who took care of the residents were very helpful and excellent. They would take him over to the dining room for dinner or lunch. He had a lovely room, but it wasn't so easy to arrange to make it more liveable, so that he wouldn't fall over the furniture and have enough seating. It was carpeted. They had good meals, exercises, church services, and entertainment. They pay too much for what they get.

My dad is doing respite at Atria El Camino Gardens. He likes it and he thinks the staff is very good. The place is nice and clean. His studio apartment is a pretty good size with one room and a bathroom. The facility itself is very nice, there are three restaurant, and the food is wonderful. The caregivers and nurses are very friendly and my dad likes them a lot. They have a lot of activities going on there. My dad doesn't really have any complaints. I personally had some issues with the billing lady because I didn't think they were very clear on the price. They quoted us a price in the beginning, which I thought would be the total sum of it, but they ended up reassessing my dad and raised him up to level two, even though they didn't tell me. After I had already paid them $5,300, they sent us a bill for another $4,800.

We're very happy with Atria El Camino Gardens. We chose it because of the location and what they have to offer. It was just very nice and they have a pretty good price. We really liked the variety of eating venues and the rooms were nicely redone. They have nice outdoor spaces. You never felt cramped and there was plenty of room. The food was fabulous and was a big selling point.

Atria El Camino Gardens was nice, very clean, and welcoming. The facilities were very nice. The rooms were fine. I saw a room and it was very clean. The eating facilities were very nice. The people seemed happy. It was lunchtime, so that was the primary activity that was going on at that time. They have movies and they play cards. Actually, the person I was supposed to meet wasn't there, which bothered me. There was nothing special with the staff.

Atria El Camino Gardens was a great place; that’s why we chose it. The food and the people I have worked with were fantastic, so I would definitely recommend them. They had 3 different restaurants there: fine dining, a grill, and a café. The rooms were completely remodeled and topnotch, with beautiful tiles and upgraded carpets. They were very nice.

I chose Atria for my father; it had wonderful amenities and excellent food, and it's a lively community. The residents are out and about, and interacting with one another. It's bright and clean, and it's light. Everybody was gracious. The activity he liked most was virtual bowling. He's been to some of the lectures, and some come in to do musical performances, but he's also pretty active and involved with us as a family.

Atria El Camino Gardens is warm, friendly, helpful, and above all, immaculately clean. Everyone is so nice. There's lots to do. The food is marvelous. My mother's room is simple, modern, clean, and freshly painted. They have many activities and an excellent social director who keeps the residents active. We got excellent feedback from the residents, who were welcoming to my mother. I definitely recommend this community.

We liked Atria El Camino Gardens a lot. It was spacious with grass and nice grounds around it and had a variety of places to eat. The downfall was that there was going to be construction and the carpets would be replaced. We were considering it very strongly because the price was right. The staff was so friendly and helpful.

Atria El Camino Gardens was in the midst of a remodel at the time that I visited. They had 3 different eating areas, and it was 7 to 7 dining. They have trained chefs, and they have really good restaurant-type foods. My mom is a smoker, so I was looking for places that had reasonable smoking areas; they did have an interior smoking area. The community was nice and big, but I thought the rooms were really small and dark. I felt that a person might get lost because it was so big. They have a lot of activities. They did have a lot of parking, too. The public areas looked really good.

Atria El Camino Gardens' entrance was better, and the food was hot. The residents were very nice. They were all pretty non-descript and nice. They had a library and movie room.

The facility is clean, well run, and extensive in services and amenities. In addition, the staff is friendly and helpful, the community's prices competitive. One resident, in fact, mentioned that he had visited ten such facilities in this area and found this community the best. I, too, have investigated numerous facilities and found Atria of El Camino Gardens the only facility I feel comfortable to have my parents placed. It is an amazing community designed for the elderly to thrive and find enjoyment in their later years.

We went to The Atria. We liked the rooms, which were spacious enough. We looked at a one-bedroom, and I think we did see studios, too, that were nice. It looked like they were nicely kept up and certainly spacious enough for the needs we needed for my mom. We weren’t focused on activities, but they certainly seemed to have a variety of them. All of the staff that we met was responsive and friendly. It felt very comfortable to walk into. It was clean and didn’t feel formal. It felt like you’re in your own home. They were nice people.

We took my parents out of this facility due to faulty management. HORRIBLE is an understatement. The food was disgusting, care sub par, facility dirty and I could go on and on. Dont make the mistake we did.

I’ve toured Atria El Camino Gardens. It’s dirty and disgusting. It’s gross; it smells like poop and dirty diapers. They were under remodeled which I understand. The staff was nice.

Atria El Camino Gardens was lovely and the one we really liked for my sister-in-law, but it was far, and we could not afford it. When you walk into the foyer, you feel like you are checking in to a really nice hotel. They had a concierge desk at the front. It was a beautiful place. We were offered a meal. They had open dining all of the time with a very good chef on staff, plus three different restaurants within the community. The rooms were very nice. They had a game room, ceramics, and movies. The activities board was full of different options, so that you could do all kinds of stuff. Also, they had on-site therapy and staff that worked with the clients. The staff was delightful. Everyone was very nice when we were introduced. You could see them interacting with the clients and that they knew them by name and greeted them very nicely. You could tell that the clients really liked it there.

My mother chose Atria El Camino Gardens personally because of proximity to her friends. They are undergoing renovation, so it is very nice now. Mom’s apartment is small, but cozy. They have been very receptive, and she is very comfortable there. They have a resident counsellor. The residents are engaged in a lot of activities. They have a movie theather, and they go on outings. It is a really nice place. They have two dining rooms, and they are very nice. They have a restaurant-type menu which is very nice too.

We put my mother in the Atria El Camino Gardens, and it’s worked out pretty well, so far. The staff is very attentive and nice, and seem to take good care of her. She seems very happy. She just called me today to tell me that she was really proud of herself for actually getting up and going into breakfast at 7 a.m. One of the big reasons why we chose this place is because they had a more flexible eating arrangement; it’s kind of a 24/7 bistro that she just goes and eats whenever she’s up for it. She’s not forced to go at certain times of the day, and they have really good food there. I’ve eaten this food with her a few times, and it’s good stuff. It’s a really active community that's always doing fun stuff, and my mom seems to have made some friends. The place has a little salon where she can get her hair and nails done, and she likes that. They have their own movie theater, and they also play music.

Excellent - Staff members are attentive & professional. The food is tasty. The activities are very good and engaging.

The staff provides excellent care. They are always very kind and compassionate. The residents are treated with respect, and their individual needs are recognized. The activities provided are stimulating and always done in a non-threatening, fun environment.

The dining room is the best feature of Atria El Camino Gardens. It is truly restaurant-style dining. They have a wonderful brunch once a month on a Sunday, and families are welcome at a minimal cost. The staff is very polite, helpful, and professional. My mother-in-law's apartment is at ground level, and it walks out to a lovely courtyard patio area. She has joined in exercise class for arthritis sufferers, and she has gone to a church service in their facility limo. However, it's under an incredible amount of construction right now, which is disruptive.

I looked at Atria El Camino. It was very nice. It has a very nice one-bedroom apartment, which was basically a studio apartment. The people were friendly. It had a very nice area for eating. There was an exit to the garden coming from the apartment, which was very nice. They were accommodating. I had not seen a lot of activities, but seemed like people were doing pretty much their own thing. The neighborhood was very nice. There were lots of trees, and it was pretty accessible a to hospital. It was closer to our house.

I visited Atria. I was not very impressed with it. It had a very quiet atmosphere, which is fine for people who want it quiet. I don't want it quiet. I want a nice, healthy, lively atmosphere. If somebody wants peace and quiet, then they're going to get it at Atria. Also they didn't deodorize the air. In other words, they put out the air freshener, and it was too perfumed. It made me wonder what they were covering up. It almost smelled like bathroom deodorizer, and I didn't like that. They need to figure how to deodorize the air without making it smell like it is covering something up.

My mother is at Atria El Camino Gardens. They are doing a $15M makeover of it, so there is going to be a facelift. I know they have a number of activities there.

Great place with a great staff! My grandmother lived here in Assisted Living for many years and she loved it. She enjoyed all the activities and field trips that are always going on. The staff was always very nice and patient with her. It is comforting to know that the ones you love the most are being well takin care of when we were unable to be there.

I just signed the rental agreement at Atria El Camino Gardens for my mother. The staff was helpful and attentive. I took a tour, and they were friendly. The place looked nice. It seemed like they had good activities. The food looked good. They were undergoing some renovations, and they were upgrading rooms. They had activities like an art show. I think the price for the value seems very good.

El Camino was a very large facility, and my mother's ability for movement is not huge, so that would have been an adjustment issue. It was just too big for my mom.

Atria El Camino Gardens is the first place my mom was at. The staff was amazing. They are absolutely wonderful. The rooms were OK and adequate. They had activities for the residents like art activities. They would have some sorting activities too. On rare occasion, somebody would play the piano. I have tried eating here, and the food was really good. I think the thing I enjoyed about them is their staff because they were so wonderful and good. The biggest disadvantage of this place is that you can open the door. Even if the alarm goes off, the residents could leave, and it opens up to a busy street. My mother learned that if she held the door down for a few seconds, the door would open, and she would head straight to the busy street. That’s why we were forced to move her because of the safety issue.

My mom just came from Atria. They are a lot more expensive. After the first of the year they always raise their rate, and it becomes a little unaffordable. They do it by raising it both on the room and the medical price. After I moved in there, one of the tenants kind of forewarned me that it was going to happen. Although it is a really nice place and if I had the money, I'd love to stay there too. People seem to be a little healthier and a little more upbeat. They have a lot more activities, but you are paying twice as much. It is very expensive.

I had seen Atrial El Camino Gardens, but it would not do for my mom. It was too big. However, my tour there was excellent. It was beautiful, but it did not meet our needs, and the cost was a little higher. The rooms were very nice, but it was a large facility. They had a multitude of activities there because they had a programs director. I had several friends that had been there. I just liked the way the building was laid out. I liked the apartments and the friendliness of the staff. It was a nice place. I really liked them. I would go there.

A gentleman that I knew moved to Atria El Camino. Their dining area was very nice. The rooms were very nice and spacious. They had a lot of activities – casino outings, grocery shopping outings, arts and crafts. They had just a wide range of things for the residents to do.

I have been in Atria for three weeks now and it is very nice, clean, and spacious, and the staff is very nice. So far so good though. I do not like the spaciousness of the hallways; it’s hard to find your way around. When you are first here, they need someone to be with you a lot to let you know where you are going and what you’re doing. I would sign up for this and what to do with that. They have what they call ambassadors, but I have only seen one, one time. I would say my stay is fair as I am in independent living and there is so little that they can do for you here, but I have people come in from the outside. They have bingo.

My mom was in Atria for a month for respite care. It was very nice -- my mom liked it, and I don't have any complaints. It was a little pricey because we had to move her in in such a hurry. The rooms were very nice. It was pretty clean, but some of the upholstery and the chairs needed freshening up. There was no smell. The dining room was fantastic; the food was fine and my mom liked it.

Atria El Camino Gardens was OK. The grounds were fine. I think the rooms were fine. They looked comfortable and nice to me. They had activities. The staff was friendly and answered all my questions. However, they started out as assisted living, and the price goes up depending on how much assistance they have to give. I looked and realized that this could be very expensive. They were not straight up and weren't as clean as the other one I saw.

We felt that Atria had a friendly staff. The facilities looked pretty good. It looked to us.

We already found a place for my spouse. He's at The Atria and he's fine. It had nice people. I liked the staff. He's in a very small room, and that's something he's trying to change. He's on a waiting list to get a bigger space.

My mom is in Atria. Because she's in a wheelchair, she doesn't have to worry about the elevators or stairs, and their dining area isn’t that far from where she is staying. The people were pleasant and friendly when we went there. My mom likes it. She says she'd push the thing on her wrist, and they'd come and get her, and they take her to the dining room or wherever she wants to go. She is really happy about the food. She gave all her dishes and stuff to the grandkids because she isn’t going to be fixing any meals. They have a movie room, and they have an area where the people come and play the piano. They have a nice fireplace that people were sitting around.

We decided to check out Atria El Camino Gardens and we decided to move mom in there. She was at their independent living side when we first move in there, but she is deteriorating and so right we are moving her into their memory care facility. Right now, she is not getting much care and it is kind of disappointing. It's really a big facility and if you're pretty self-sufficient I think it’s a good facility. In their memory care unit, there are only 35 people who lives there and a smaller environment. The staff are pretty good about everything.

We enjoyed our walkthrough at Atria El Camino Gardens. We found it very clean and the people were very hospitable. The workers and even the residents seemed very happy. The rooms are of adequate size. We looked only at a two bedroom which was occupied because unfortunately they don’t have any openings at this point and if we chose to go there we would have to be on a waiting list.

Atria El Camino Gardens was absolutely clean. I was impressed that it was updated. The staff were very kind, helpful and polite. The rooms were nice and of the right size. They had a lot of amenities and activities. It was also fairly close to us. But we missed the deadline and the prices went up, they tried any way they could to help us. I really liked that they did that. If I would move into a facility, I would go here.

Atria El Camino Gardens was nice. They offer a lot of services. The facility wasn't smelly and the staff was friendly. The clients were friendly too and they were up and about, involving themselves in different things.

I heard about Atria El Camino through a friend and recommended it to me. I visited the place and the staff were very friendly. The people there seemed happy. The place is clean. The rooms are nice. They have one bedroom with little living room with patio. The dining room is very open and airy.

When we would respond to a call, the staff was very helpful and professional, but also very honest about the different reasons they felt the facility was responsible for the fall, or medical issue the patient was experiencing. A good example of this was when I responded to the facility for a fall in June of 2011 and was told by the staff that the patient had not been given the proper medications due to the facility not completing the proper steps to ensure that they had not run out of the specific prescription. The end result of the patient falling was then attributed by the staff member to the patient's Blood Pressure no longer being controlled by the medicine. I was also informed that this had occurred before under similar circumstances and that the staff member would be requesting the matter to be investigated.

Atria-El Camino Gardens is located northeast to Reno on I-80 about 20 minutes from downtown Sacramento off El Camino Avenue and Garfield Avenue. In the past I participated in a volunteer Christmas show, along with other events. It is simply a gorgeous campus inside and out. The grounds are covered with gardens, shrubs, and shade trees. Inner courts make for fun activities. Patios are decked with umbrella shaded tables, not a bad seat in any of the courtyards. The décor is bright, warm, and friendly. Resident rooms and apartments are spacious, lovely, and state of the art. The dining rooms, activity rooms, and visiting areas remind one of an up-scale hotel without the snootiness. Uniquely, El Camino is equipped for three levels of care, independent, assisted living, and Alzheimer's care. That way significant others whose condition may be better or worse can stay close to one another. The staff, especially the caregivers, and dietary helpers are likewise, down to earth. Seldom is heard a discouraging word. Rarely in 5 years have I even detected an odor issue. The menu is fantastic, and adaptable to all diet types. I've eaten here several times, and I have to agree with the residents, delicious! Add to it the ambiance of the decorated walls and lovely furnishings, it is definitely eye candy. Their activity program is superior. Every effort is made to meld resident with family and staff involvement. They have games, an exercise program, loads of music, frequent entertainment, and outings as varied as the residents likes and dislikes. To keep resident's oriented, the staff stays on top of current events. Except for a few administrative persons, most everyone here makes the residents, and guest feel at home. If a "hotel "can be considered home-like, then El Camino Gardens manages to pull it off in grand fashion. I give them my highest grade a 5 out of 5.
