I'm writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding guidance I received during the process of my dad's entry into the Atria Senior Living Residence. Jan Unger, the Community Director of Sales at Atria Woodlands, was kind, professional and his attention to details was truly remarkable. He made a difficult time easier to navigate and was readily available during after work hours! My family and I are deeply grateful! Thank you, Jan!

I researched several senior living options for my mom and settled on Atria at Woodlands for a few reasons. Firstly, the environment was calming and close to where my mom lived. Secondly, the size was just right, not too big or too small. Thirldly, we had a chance to try a meal, whoch was portioned and seasoned just right for seniors. Lastly, the staff is very welcoming as I had a chance to work with one of the Directors Jan Unger, who showed empathy and care for our situation. He always showed support and was very responsive as we were preparing my mom for the transition. I feel secure in entrusting my .mom's care at Atria at Woodlands.

Recently our parents moved into the Atria Woodlands. Their experience so far has been nothing more than amazing! The people are extremely nice. The food, activities and entertainment have been wonderful. This senior setting has definitely given my parents a social life and purpose to get moving each day which makes my sister and I so happy. Jan Unger, the Sales Director here has been fabulous too!! He had guided us through the process and continues to be available to answer any questions that arise. He made this transition extremely easy!!
Families love this community. See if it’s the right fit for you.

Value Consideration
Atria Woodlands sits above both Westchester County and New York State averages in pricing, reflecting its setting, amenities, and the depth of its wellness and activity programming. Monthly rates include chef-prepared meals, housekeeping, utilities, transportation, and a full events calendar, so it's worth exploring exactly what is bundled versus billed separately — particularly for care services and medication management — when comparing with other communities.
