Atria Longmeadow Place

It is not so easy to single out one staff member at Atria Longmeadow. All are conscientious and professional, And to my way of thinking about half would be singled out as exceptional at any other workplace. But Jonathon from out wait staff is simply without parallel. He adds much cheerfulness and quiet efficiency to the dining room. Everything is always good. He will fufill every request he can. Jonathon solves problems without bureaucracy. When a conflict appears likely, he quietly distracts and deflates. And he is unflappavle in the face of difficult resident demands. He is equally generous to his colleagues When his coworkers are busy, he fills in for them at their station without drawing any attention to himself or the stressed server. I hear his colleagues often comment that Jonathon had been at it again – quietly shouldering a bit of their work. Just today, I heard an administrator who was short handed say that Jonathon had volunteered to come in early to to manage an assignment. And Jonathon does all of this with the most even-tempered disposition I have ever encountered. We all remark at never having heard a cross or a short word from his tongue. His equanimity is the stuff legends are made of. Thank you, Jonathon

My mother has been a resident of Atria Longmeadow Place for the past 4 years. We've been very happy with the kind and supportive community created by the wonderful staff. From the receptionist to the van driver, everyone actively engages with the residents. Without a doubt, one aide, Mary Thatcher, goes above and beyond. She provides exceptional care to all residents; she's compassionate, she's thorough and she's always smiling. People like Mary Thatcher really make a difference and I hope she gets recognized for her dedication and hard work.

My Mother-in-Law, Jean Collins resides at Longmeadow Place and our family is so grateful for the wonderful care she gets from her Caregiver, Mary Thatcher. It is a real comfort to know that Mary is her aid and we are confident she is getting all the attention and love she deserves.

My parents have been at Atria Longmeadow Place for almost two years now, and as their needs have increased during that time, they have moved from independent to assisted living. The Atria staff has been incredibly supportive and professional the whole time, which we would expect. But even more than that, they've also been truly caring. In fact, when my father was hospitalized recently and then had to spend a month in a rehab facility, one of the Atria aides came by on her own time to visit him. It meant so much to him and to my whole family.
