During my time at Atria, I had the pleasure of participating in a variety of engaging outings and activities. The experience was enriched by the vibrant music sessions, which provided a wonderful backdrop for socializing and relaxation. The caregivers were exceptional, always attentive and supportive, ensuring that every activity was enjoyable and fulfilling. The fine dining options were another highlight, with delicious meals that added a touch of sophistication to our daily routine. Overall, the combination of stimulating activities, excellent care, and gourmet food made my time at Atria both enriching and memorable.

Looking for an assisted living facility for my Mom was the scariest task I have ever done. Atria Tamalpais Creek was the first facility visited and after that, every other facility toured had a hard act to follow. I chose Atria for many reasons and at 92, my Mom is finally living a lifestyle she deserves at this stage of her life, knowing she is completely cared for, safe and comfortably content. I'm so relieved to speak this truth. The bright, cheery public rooms, and the carpeted, nicely decorated halls, the amazing food (still dreaming about the Hawaiian luau spread!!), the seemingly always happy caregivers (they anticipate what Mom needs before she even asks), the spot on Administration team of Corrine (her leadership shows everywhere), Jocelyn (she makes sure the care is top notch and is so very excellent at her job) Katie (she recorded a video of the facility for my Mom to see and answered all questions with compassion and understanding) and Jessica (so helpful understanding costs etc) are 4 of the best humans I've ever met. And then there is Helen, the tireless activity director who is so intent on keeping all the residents entertained and involved!! They are all perfect in their roles and really care about each resident AND their families, too. Literally, they relieved my anxiety and made my Mom fall in love with them. If you are tasked with this scary transition, please call for a tour. I'm so thankful I did!!

My mom has been at Atria since Dec 1st, 2023. It has been a huge life transition for her but Atria has been there for her every step of the way. We picked Atria Tamalpais Creek because of the friendly staff and the beauty of the surrounding redwood trees. The facility is neat and clean and close to downtown Novato. This location has received a number of awards and from the beginning, I felt confident that my mom would be well taken care of. She has met quite a few new friends and enjoys the exercise classes, music programs and planned activities at Atria. She feels loved and heard and often speaks highly of the entire staff, from Katie, Atria's Sales Manager to Jessica, Community Care Manager. They treat her like she is their mom. She loves the chef and the staff are so attentive and caring. I visit 3-4 times a week and I feel that the level of care and customer service is always consistent. We are very happy to be at Atria!

Atria Tamalpais Creek is a thriving senior living community. The physical property is beautiful and immaculately maintained both inside and outside. I'm so appreciative of the staff's dedication to the care and safety of each resident. They are attentive, polite and responsive to my Dad's needs. I highly recommend Atria.

Great property and staff! I moved my 90+ year old father from out of state into Atria's assisted living property. He's been there about 8 months and we're very happy with our choice. I did a lot of research and tours, and Atria was my favorite (and not the most expensive on our list). It was a big transition for us and I could see the staff working hard to make him feel comfortable and respond to the many questions we had as he moved in and got settled. The property is well kept and I've built a nice rapport with the staff. My Dad regularly tells me how much he enjoys his new place, so that speaks volumes.

Atria is a beautiful community with an excellent team of staff and happy residents! Each time I visit, the community is clean and every resident is clearly enjoying themselves, taking in the beautiful scenery outside (today a particularly happy resident remarked to me that they 'felt like they were in Italy!) or partaking in their amazing enrichment activities that seem to be constant. Jocelyn is amazing at making sure all Atria residents receive amazing care, and Dale and the resident care team ensure that everyone is all on the same page providing excellent care to all the residents. Couldn't recommend more!

I moved my 91 year old father to Atria in February. It was a very complicated and difficult time for me with a tremendous amount on my plate. Atria made everything easy from the beginning. Even when I had questions or needed help during the move and especially during the time he was adjusting to a new way of life and environment, they were prompt and attentive to his needs, and mine. He has been extremely content in his new home and it has made my life SO much easier. I know he is being well taken care of. Now we just visit and enjoy time with him without any stress. And when any questions or issues come up, I know I can just reach out for help. My dad says: "I find everyone to be responsive, attentive, and thorough. I have no complaints!"

Atria Novato is full of kind and helpful people at a time we really needed kindness and help. It's hard transitioning a family member from their old life, to something new. The staff at Atria made it smooth and as simple as possible.

My mother was a guest at Atria Tamalpais Creek in their Life Guidance wing and the took excellent care of her. She made friends with others in the wing and enjoyed all the activities that they offered. She was treated like a queen.

We were looking at this facility for my Mom. We got the hard sell from the marketing department, then poor responsiveness, and then we were declined an opportunity to join the facility at the last minute. It was a frustrating experience to work with them. It's my understanding that they only want to except new members that are very low maintenance, and cannot provide proper care for someone who really needs it.

Atria was perfect for my mom and my family. The location to me, and the beautiful gardens are so nice. Mom lived there 5 years. First three were in a nice one bedroom upstairs with a balcony. That was our saving grace through Covid. She would come outside onto her balcony and we would sit outside and chat with her as often as we could. Once she was found getting lost and confused more often, we moved her to the Life Guidance. After a short time, she found her new routine and had her special chair and spot to sit at the dining table. She had all she needed and having a smaller area of living for her made it so much easier. The staff was great with mom. All the receptionists up front were so friendly, in spite of all the varying Covid regulations they were required to enact. The med techs, the facility crew, the CNA's, and the director of LG at the time, Jessica, seemed to care for mom like she was their own mom. That was so reassuring to me as I would be gone for severals weeks at a time out of state or country. I knew she would be safe and cared for. They went above and beyond to keep in touch with me about her care and needs.

My father was a resident of Atria for 7 years. The last 2 were in Life Guidance memory care. The staff and administration, have a very low turnover. They keep my dad comfortable and gave him dignity. Atria is a beautiful setting with tall redwoods and gardens. Atria has all the amenities you would expect from a 1st class facility and is well maintained. There is a good about of stress and anxiety seeing your loved one with physical and mental decline. The Atria Community gave me the confidence and guidance I needed. My closing thought is to say thank you with appreciation for all they did on my father's behalf.

I cant say enough about how incredible Atria Tamalpais Creek is. From the moment we met the Director, health care professionals and extend staff we knew that our loved one was in the best hands possible. We brought our loved one to this wonderful place shortly before the pandemic lockdown last March. The thought that we had just made this major transition, and now would not be able to visit our loved one would have been unbearable, yet the staff at Atria Tamalpias had a plan that consistently kept us updated on everything they were doing to keep all the residents engaged and safe, and kept family members aware of every new possibility of socially distanced visits with our loved ones. All calls of concerned were returned and addressed quickly. Corrine, Jocelyn, Wendy and the entire staff are angles from heaven, treating my most treasured family member as one of there own. During the many video, window and patio visits I have had with my loved one, I have come to learn from her directly about the sensitive, patient and loving care she has and continues to receive. I can not express enough the deep gratitude and appreciation I have for this truly resident and family focused environment. It is a very special place with very special people. Thank you to everyone at Atria Tamalpias Creek.

My parents were at Atria Tamalpais Creek for nearly five years until their passings last year. They were well cared for throughout. Their ability to come and go, coupled with the in-house dining room and Bistro, served them very well. Regular musical guests and activities also made the place special for them. As they needed more care, Atria staff helped me line up resources and stayed in touch with me, which was especially important since I was out of state. This facility is clean and bright, nestled under Redwoods... it was perfect for my parents!

Our brother was treated with respect and compassion by the competent staff. The facility was clean and safe. We enjoyed the delicious food prepared. We were promptly notified of any problems and how they were being solved to relieve our worry as we lived out of state. I highly recommend Atria Tamalpais Creek.

I am the Community Sales Director at Tam Creek.Atria Tam Creek is a wonderful community for a myriad of different reasonsIt takes so many hard working people to make it the special place it is...The caregivers, housekeeping and dining team are all hardworkers and very friendly as well.The vibe is always good at Tam Creek, you dont have to look far to see soemone smiling about something.I can honestly say I admire the entire team of directors. It is a pleasure to work with Mark, Crystal, Lori, David, CJ, Ladonna and Margaret. They put so much into what they do everyday and it shows...I would also like to applaud Merrilee Ribbell, our fantastic concierge, she is a true professional, very resourceful for our residents and the perfect person to greet guests of the communityLastly, I am thrilled that our new Executive Director is Cyndy Larsen, she is a real leader and clearly has a great vison for Tam Creek as we all move forward together.

In 2011 I joined Atria Tamalpais Creek in Novato, California, as a resident after doing some research in the area. I also lived for a few weeks in Deer Park, a place with a nice view but little else in its favor.Atria was pleasant then but has improved dramatically in the past two years, particularly in the activities and culinary departments.Marc Johnson, Engage Life Director, has shown some skills in the selection of activities and in hiring of assistants. Most notable of his assistants is Miss Sonoma County, Ashley Kimball. Among other things Ashley directs our chorus and has started our Drama Club.To get an idea of what happens in our drama club, go to Google or Youtube and type in "Pyramus and Thisbe. Atria"In the culinary department Crystal Welsh, head chef, has improved the quality of the food and allows the residents to order the dishes they like.Also in the food department, Lori Gutierrez and Amy Summerhays deserve credit for being helpful, energetic and multi-task.

My mother has been at Atria Tamalpais for three years and I have been impressed withh the caring attention she has received. I live on the east coast so communication with various staff is important and I have been grateful for the assistance I have received from many of the staff. Special kudos to Marilee Ribbel for her continuous responsiveness and patience when I call. My family refers to Dale Trinidad as our "rock" who has so many times been kind, gentle and attentive to Mom when it is most difficult. I am always grateful to CJ Corey for her assistance on business matters, among others, and her patience and attention. I know there has been a good deal of staff turnover during the last 18 months so knowing that these folks have been there has been very reassuring to my family. When I visit I note that all the staff are friendly, address my mother by name and in a caring way and that means a great deal. Finally, Atria is such a pleasant physical facility and the grounds, upkeep and general environment are pleasant, cheery and also tranquil. We are grateful that Mom is in such a good place.

I work here at Atria as the Restaurant Manager and have been with the company for a little over a year now.I can say that even after owning my own restaurant for several years this is by far the most rewarding job that I have ever worked.It comes from the residents who have so much to share along with some of the most caring and giving staff I have ever had the pleasure of working with in this business! The upper Management and department heads really care about this community,(They have the Heart!) and it makes me proud to work for and with a company that has such a high level of integrity.Crystal Welsh our Culinary Director takes pride in everything she does. Crystal takes it to the highest level of meeting our residents needs and creating wonderful and exciting meals and it all begins with her having such a huge Heart and Loving what she does everyday!I look forward coming to work everyday because it is so rewarding to be here and to be a part of this great family we have here at Atria.Amy ,Anna , Betty, Grant and Chef Katy and really go above and beyond on our Culinary team and they make everyday a great one here at Atria!

We have been here for almost six years. In that time we have had eight Culinary Directors. Now we have #9, Crystal Welsh, and she is so superior to any of the previous directors that we could not be happier. She is giving us more vegetables, more choices, tastier recipes; basically more interesting menus. Long may Crystal strive ! We also have Marc Johnson as our Engage Life Director. He has brought in two superlative assistants! Ashley Kimball is a vibrant young violinist who leads our Choral Group as well as our Drama Club. Valdete Lane is a psychologist who is sharing her wisdom with the older generation at the same time learning a lot from us. All in all, the entire staff is now most commendable. My husband and I could not be happier !

I have been working at Atria Tamalpais Creek for almost 3 years now and needless to say the experience has been quite wonderful. The staff is cooperative and efficient and the residents are quite entertaining and enjoyable to see each time I come into work. I owe Atria a lot when it comes to my increased sense of customer services that I will no doubt carry with me in any future endeavors I might be apart of, so for that I say thank you. #AtriaAllDayEveryday

Tamalpais Creek is a wonderful community. I have been there a few times this past year and its active and has everyone is very polite. The community has a great food program and a bistro that has sandwiches and soup. The staff has worked there for many years and they take care of the residents well. The driver is great and takes everyone to anyplace they need to go. He is always dressed professionally. The staff that works in memory care are so helpful to the residents and so are the staff that work in the dining room. I highly recommend.
