Atria Stamford sits in downtown Stamford at 77 3rd St, with views of the New England countryside from a modern high-rise building, and folks will find apartments here that have private bedrooms decorated in soft neutral colors with floral bedspreads, mirrored nightstands, sitting areas, and some with walk-in closets, balcony or patio options, and individual thermostat control, plus there are studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans so people can choose what fits best, and the apartments also have walk-in showers and kitchens, and the independent and assisted living apartments even have desks, chairs, couches, and nice decor-while the memory care studios include living areas, small dining tables, and kitchenettes to help people with memory loss feel comfortable and safe in familiar surroundings. The community features several bright, open kitchens and common areas with skylights, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of seating, and there's a sunroom, lounge area with natural light and plush seating, comfortable courtyards with lush landscaping, outdoor patios, gardens, a serene water fountain, and a rooftop terrace with outdoor seating, city views, and drinks, where groups gather on nice days. Folks can enjoy the elegant dining rooms with white linens, pink flowers, stylish chandeliers, and full-service restaurant dining, in addition to a cafe with tables and lounge seating for coffee and pastries, or a bar area where there's often happy hour. There's often something going on, since the Engage Life® events program offers daily activities such as educational lectures, dance events, game nights, The Great Outdoors, Casino Royale, and Page Turners, while over 200 scheduled events each month help residents stay social, active, and fit, though people can always choose how much they want to take part.
Atria Stamford offers different levels of care, including independent living for older adults who want their own space without much help, assisted living with support for tasks like bathing, dressing, and medication, memory care in the Life Guidance® neighborhood for folks with Alzheimer's or other dementia, plus skilled nursing for those who need higher medical attention, with many staff members having been part of the team for years-the staff's always friendly and kind, and many visitors notice their joy. The community lets residents keep pets in their apartments, but there are rules about size, vaccines, and temperament, plus extra fees, and there's plenty of common space for pets and people to enjoy together. All of the amenities and resident services, such as housekeeping, linen service, apartment maintenance, scheduled transportation, and Wi-Fi, are included in the monthly rate, making things easier for most folks, though care and medication management are extra for those in independent or assisted rental apartments.
There's a salon on-site offering hair and nail care, a wellness center for checkups and FOX Rehabilitation, and the community's designed to be easy for seniors to get around, with handicap accessibility throughout. Meals are chef-prepared using fresh, seasonal ingredients, and the dining staff's earned many compliments, with Atria Stamford even receiving awards like Best of Senior Living. Special attention goes into memory care, with secure areas to reduce confusion and wandering, and trained staff offering highly personalized care so people feel safe and calm. As part of the larger Atria Senior Living group, which runs more than 200 communities in the US and Canada, Atria Stamford's able to provide a full range of resources, including caregiver support, planning tools, and lifestyle programs, and it allows people to move between levels of care as their needs change, so they don't have to leave their home just because they need more help.
The community's been newly renovated and has a warm, welcoming environment where folks enjoy high-quality dining, regular social engagement, and a calendar full of activities to suit many interests and abilities, and thanks to strong staff retention and training, residents often feel the care is both safe and empathetic, whether someone needs a little help or more ongoing support.
