My loved one is a resident at The Residence at Stafford. The staff seems helpful at this facility. The housekeeping does as well. However, communication with the family could use some improvement. My loved one was brought to the hospital and I wasn't notified. The meals are good quality, as I am told. The facility is nice, but a little on the expensive side. That being said nothing in life is cheap.
The Residence is very clean, the food is very good. It's a great place for people who are alone but need some care. Everyone seems very happy there. The staff is extremely nice and accommodating. As long as you can afford to stay there (since it is not cheap) you will not be sorry.
I visited this facility
We went to look at The Residence at Stafford. The facility looked good. The staff was knowledgeable. The food didn't meet my father's expectations for taste and quantity. Everything was just very small. It looked like they didn't have much room. They had a home theater, but it was very small. Their exercise facilities and fitness center were very small and not very well-appointed. The dining area was very nice and large. The porches were very small.
I visited this facility
The Residence at Stafford was very well run and the residents looked well cared for. They had a lot of good scheduled activities for them. They had different people coming in and it was just a nice atmosphere. I saw a one-bedroom apartment and a studio and they were both spacious and ADA compliant, so it would be very easy to maneuver around. The grounds and everything were also very nice and well-kept. There were nice big porches around and outside areas for them to go out.
Residence at Stafford is a terrific facility that goes above and beyond for their residents. In particular, Jacquie Thompson is a delight and always full of great energy! Could not recommend this place more!
Always get that welcome feeling as soon as you walk in. Staff is very nice and caring. The Memory Care floor is absolutely beautiful and amazing!
Thank you for the exceptional service your facility gave my grandma. Christy, thank you for all you do!
My grandmother got the best care there and it was absolutely amazing. Christy is great all around!
I love this place!! And I love making a difference every day!! Nothing compares to putting a smile on the residents face and making their lives a better place, every day!!
Very homely feeling. Employees are very nice . I like the program and activities they do with the residents.
Very Nice and clean facility. Caretakers bring joy to all of the residents. They always have a smile on their face . Pleasant atmosphere.
I started out as a waitress 16 years ago… I was a caregiver for 6 months, helped out with bus driving, being a concierge, dishwasher, cooking and was the Memorycare manager for four years…I am currently the Engagement Director now for almost a year now. This building and everyone in it is my family! It is my heart and soul! I couldn’t be any happier! I am so blessed for knowing and loving everyone here at The Residence at Stafford
I have worked in this building over five years now, I love working here, I love my residents in reflections, in reflections we are all family and I would never change a thing, I love coming to work every day
We've having a wonderful experience at the Residence at Stafford! They are very attentive and the activities are great. My mom is active, engaged, thriving, and better than she has ever been since she moved into her apartment there. Mom loves the meals- she always tells me how good everything is. The activities that they have are phenomenal and everything is diverse and well rounded. I am so very impressed with everything that Christy and Pam comes up with and offers the community. They are as creative and energetic as they are warm and caring! This community is a little expensive but it is well worth it. I just want my mom to be as happy and healthy as possible and she is at the Residence. I'm thrilled she calls it home.
Great place to work! It's nice to see the families happy with the care their loved ones are receiving.
I have been an employee for over 11 years. I feel as if I have a second family and have developed friendships with many people met alot of wonderful residents
My wife has worked at Residence of Stafford for almost 16 years and she has thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff and residents are always so kind and considerate. It is a wonderful resource for senior living and I highly recommend it. Larry Simon
They are very attentive and the activities are great. My loved one is thriving and better than she has ever been. The staff are just like they were when we toured the community and it is great that it all stayed the same. My loved one also likes the meals and is eating vegetables and her health is better she always tells me how good everything is. The activities that they have are phenomenal, they have art activities and more everything is well rounded and I am very impressed with everything that they offer. I was worried that my loved one would not want to participate but she is participating and has done a lot in this community. They really stimulate her. This community is expensive but it is worth it. I just want my loved one to be as happy as possible. I am excited for my mom.
They are unique in the way that they care for the residents, they are not like other places. The staff are all very personable. The room sizes are nice and spacious. She really enjoys the food. I would absolutely recommend Teh Residence at Stafford to others looking.
I visited this facility
I toured The Residence at Stafford. It was beautiful. The woman that helped us out was lovely. The other people that worked there were very friendly. It was very, very clean. We are interested in it. It's just a matter of what we have to figure out. We were more interested in the rooms themselves and the eating places. It was nice. The apartments were very nice and clean.
My Dad has been a Resident since Sept 2021 and everything has been amazing. The staff from top to bottom are all amazing, friendly, smart, hardworking, and dedicated. I visit very often and have met most staff members and it is an amazing place to live. Nothing but good things to say.
My friend moved in recently and I came to visit. The staff here is so friendly. Nothing is asking too much. My friend is so happy and quickly calls The Residence HOME.
The community did a great virtual tour and they answered all my questions and we just kept coming to The residence.
I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.
I think that you can rest assured your loved one is being taken care of very well, which was very important to me. We searched a lot of places before we finally decided on here. When we arrived for our tour, the staff were right there, and we didn't have to wait. Even though we were early, they took us right in. They answered all of our questions. I've met a few of the staff so far since then. From the manager to the aides, they've been very friendly and helpful. I can't say enough about them. They're very good. Anytime my loved one has needed help, they've been there for him. There was a change in management, and I kept asking my loved one how things were going. I expected there to be cause for concern, but if anything, it's been even better than before. They've offered more activities and things to do.
The Residence at Stafford has provided great peace of mind for me. I know my Mom is safe and well taken care of. I believe she is in better health both physically and mentally since joining this community. She is enjoying Bingo, Movie Nights, and restaurant quality food. The staff is wonderful; kind and encouraging.
We moved my dad in August after my Mom passed away suddenly. I can't say enough good things. The staff is wonderful, The food is wonderful and the Residence is beautiful. It's like southern charm living. The rooms are spotless and I can honestly say I don't know what I would have done if I didn't find The Residence at Stafford.

The staff members would be a five plus, and the quality of the food is not bad but it could use some improvements. The rooms are nice, it is satisfactory. We would highly recommend this community to others.
What we really like how nice and clean this community was, and the staff members for the most part were pretty good. The food was very good and it looked like the residents were pretty active for the most part. We would recommend this community to others.
Atria Stafford has been nothing less than exceptional regarding taking care of my Dad for close to a year now!! We were extremely impressed with all they have to offer! When the COVID-19 pandemic began, we were scared for Dad’s safety, but Atria rose to the challenge and not only kept everyone safe, but invented new ways to keep everyone engaged while quarantining! Exercise classes done from their own rooms, virtual bingo, crafts, virtual prayer groups, virtual piano singalongs (with my Dad on piano), video calls to family and so much more! The atmosphere is always fun and upbeat, with themed celebrations!! I get frequent and sometimes daily emails regarding COVID-19 protocols and all that is happening within the community. My Dad loves each and every staff member, and we do, too! They all treat him as if he were family! On top of all that, the building is beautifully decorated and immaculate. It reminds me of a posh hotel! We couldn’t be happier with Atria!!
Though I am not retired, I often tell friends that I wouldn't mind living at Atria when I'm ready to because it is such a wonderful place. It's like living in an elegant hotel with high-end services! The building is beautiful and wonderfully decorated, the programs delightful, the food excellent, the staff knock out professional and very accommodating to residents needs.
They have given my husband's elderly mother such excellent care! Everyone, I mean everyone, is so professional, loving and caring. They go beyond the moon to be kind and helpful.
They also have a terrific nursing staff that provide excellent medical care!
I am able to get in touch with them 24/7 with any questions or needs.
My family and I can't be more pleased with Atria Stafford. The entire staff has gone above and beyond making my Dad's transition from losing our Mom to selling his home in a short 4 month time during Covid no less. He has adjusted quickly and more important we can all put our heads on our pillows at night knowing he is in good hands. He loves everyone there and I think he could work there part-time lol. That being said they are the best and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Atria Stafford to anyone.
We are so happy that our Mom resides at Atria Stafford. From the beginning of the Pandemic, Atria Senior Living took extraordinary measures to ensure the safety and well-being of their residents. Although it was difficult not being able to visit, it was comforting to know that everyone was safe and being cared for. Initially arrangements were made to see & visit family members via social media. Arrangements are now being made to visit while following safety protocols. If you are looking for Memory Care, they have the best. The Director is a talented, loving, caring person who devotes her life to her “residents.” Her energy is contagious and is evident in her staff as well. Everyone is well cared for; the food is great; it is very clean and family is encouraged to be involved. We are so blessed that Mom calls this place home!
My mom has been at Atria in Stafford for over a year. I can't say enough about the team that cares for her and all of the residents in memory care. They are positive and genuinely care about the well being of the people in their care. In the time that she's been there I've never had a doubt that she's being well cared for as an individual and welcomed as part of the overall community. My mom lived with me for a year and a half before I had to make this move because I was no longer able to provide what she needed. It was difficult to let go and even harder to trust my mom to others. The team at Atria made for a comfortable transition. This is a dedicated crew. Couldn't be happier to have my mom in hands other than my own.
My aunt lives at Atria and I can't say enough good things about the place. First and foremost, the staff is amazing. They are so friendly and caring. The place is clean and the food is good. There are activities galore, what more could you want? I highly recommend Atria to anyone looking for an assisted living community in this area.
My mom has been a resident in Life Guidance for a year. During this time, I have always found the care to be excellent.
The staff is friendly, accommodating, and thoughtful.
They have a variety of activities and encourage participation.
I can always leave there knowing my mom will be in good hands.

My uncle was in here, but he was told he had to leave because he kept falling. It's a beautiful assisted living facility, it looks like a five-star hotel inside, and it has a beautiful outdoor porch for visiting. The only negative I can think is that he couldn't stay because he fell too often. They were insisting that he press the button for help when he had to get up, go to the bathroom, or something like that, and in his mind he thought he could do it, and he would get up and fall. The food looked very good. The room was a little small; he had a studio room, and it was very nice, but a little small. They explained to me that it was more of independent living with assistance.
