Atria Darien - Darien, Connecticut

I introduced Atria Darien to my good friend as it was recommended to me from others that had visited. Needless to say, the physical structure and decor is a wonderful environment. I felt like I was entering a beautiful hotel or resort. After a wonderful and personable tour, and lunch with some of the residents joining us at our table, my friend moved in by the end of the week. After experiencing disappointments in other residences we were very excited for my friend to be in Darien. Well, that has been just the beginning of joy and comfort for my life long friend. I have since visited my good friend there many times and I am not sure which I enjoy or appreciate more, the residents or staff. The personality and hospitality of both are exceptional. When I visit my friend I feel I am returning home for the holidays. Everyone is warm and cheerful. Every time I visit I make more friends with residents and staff at the same time sharing a wonderful visit with my long time friend. We recently celebrated my good friend’s birthday there. We had a special table provided to us decorated beautifully. We were waited on with grace and elegance beyond compare. My friend and all guests had a celebration to remember. This can only happen because Atria Darien and staff care to take care! I look forward to not only visiting my good friend there, but also visiting with other residents and their visiting families. And yes, seeing all the wonderful staff again. Thank you!

Kiki was very welcoming when I visited Atria for the third time. She arranged various activities for me - exercise, community meeting, lunch with some very astute and lovely residents. It is well worth visiting this beautiful site .

We LOVE Atria Darien but more importantly so does mom!

Mom entered the Atria Darien community in 2016 and this month she is turning 100 years old!

Mom was hesitant at first moving to Atria Darien but she quickly made friends as everyone is so welcoming and inclusive. The diverse daily activities and events kept her busy, engaged and helped her quickly acclimate to her new community.

One of mom’s top criteria in selecting a senior living community was that had good food. Atria Darien quickly checked that box as the meals are outstanding; not just at special occasions but every day. The menu is very diverse and healthy and the food quality is like that a of great restaurant. In fact, our entire family looks forward to special occasions at Atria Darien as the Atria team does a phenomenal job with an expansive selection of wonderful food and creating a festive environment.

For us, knowing mom is happy makes us happy but it is the amazing caring staff that ensures she is safe and comfortable that make Atria Darien so great.

From the friendly hello at the door to the excellent restaurant experience we have been very pleased. Walking the halls will always get a “hi, how are you?” and a smile from any of the staff you come across. There are too many wonderful team members to name.

Atria Darien is a special place. We are very glad we were lucky enough to find it for mom.

Atria Darien has been an excellent choice for my father. Initially reluctant, he did a trial for two months, and after 6 weeks, he decided to make it his home. Entering senior living is a challenging transition for anyone to make, but the staff at Atria made it as easy and smooth as it could be. They were so friendly and welcoming right from the start, and have been attentive and responsive as we’ve navigated the transition. Michele, Kate and Amanda have all be so helpful in smoothing the way for us. Additionally, the food is excellent (my father agrees!) and the activities are plentiful and engaging. From the directors, to the dining room staff, to the wellness center, everyone is on board looking out for the residents’ best interests. I would confidently recommend Atria Darien to others considering senior living.

Our entire family is thrilled for my mom to be closer to us. Atria of Darien is an outstanding community to consider for your loved one.

My mom felt so welcomed and excited as the entire Atria staff welcomed her during her first day there and they have helped her feel safe, happy and excited to live there! She enjoys it so very much. As a family member, we also enjoy visiting too!

I find the facility to be immaculate, bright, and organized, which is very important!

The staff are professional and polite and treat everyone with respect and kindness. They are helpful, upbeat and accommodating.

Michelle has been extremely helpful, patient and kind and has always returned calls in a very timely manner.

We visited many different assisted living communities in the area and Atria of Darien is a 10 out of 10!

We recently moved my grandmother into Atria and the whole team there has gone above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and welcomed. Michelle and Kate are truly the best. This is the first time my grandmother has lived alone and they were able to ease her nerves and help her make great new friends with other residents. Although, I truly think it's the staff that helped ensure a smooth transition for her, she raves about the food and how beautiful it is there. So overall, we couldn't be happier and want to thank the whole Atria team for welcoming and supporting my grandmother.

First class operation all around. Loving caring staff that anticipates your parent’s needs before they do. Delicious meals, well appointed decor, music performances and thoughtful engaging activities almost every single day. I feel relieved and happy to have heard about Atria Darien from a dear friend whose mother loved it there. My initially reluctant mother is now safe, happy, and well cared for with this team who truly love what they do. Michele, Kate, Marge and Kiki are brilliant. The nurses and aids are the best. I would not hesitate to recommend Atria Darien!

The entire staff at Atria have been warm and welcoming to my brother (and his family). We so appreciate all that Michele and Kate have done for him - they’ve helped him meet other residents and made him feel welcomed. The residents are wonderful, too. And there’s so much to offer at Atria.
There’s always something to do. We’re really
happy to know that he’s safe and doing so well at Atria.
