RETIREMENT
Atrium Village
welcomes you
Residents stay active
thanks to helpful staff
By Margit B. Weisgal, Contributing Writer
A
trium Village, conveniently located just minutes from the Owings Mills
Metro and easily accessible from Painters Mill Road, is a vibrant senior
living community offering independent living, assisted living and memory
care. The continuum of care ensures that, as needs change over time, the care
you need is always available. Newly renovated with a modern, welcoming design,
Atrium Village stands out for its warm atmosphere and the ease with which residents can transition into the community.
Independent living offers today’s more
active seniors the opportunity to enjoy
the same freedom and independence
they’ve always enjoyed without the daily
hassles of home maintenance and other
daily chores. The assisted living services
are designed to help residents who may
need a little help with what are known as
“activities of daily living” to get the assistance they need, so they can continue to
enjoy the healthy, active lifestyles they’ve
grown to enjoy.
The community offers so many amenities and services. Included with your
rent are three chef-prepared meals each
day and your choice of the Café Bistro or
the Dining Room, happy hour each after-
noon (and snacks on weekends), weekly
housekeeping, utilities, internet, transportation and more. The culinary experience
at Atrium Village is recognized as one of
the most impressive senior dining offerings in the Owings Mills area.
Atrium Village’s 260 apartments –
ranging in size from a studio apartment to
a two-bedroom, two bath layout – feature
a full kitchen, large floor-to-ceiling windows with plenty of natural light and new,
modern appliances. Many apartments
include panoramic and scenic views, and
pets are welcome. Many residents still
work and drive (there’s plenty of parking), and they have access to activities
throughout the week. Holidays and birth-
days are celebrated. There is everything
to make your life more enjoyable. It’s
like moving to a new neighborhood with
warm, welcoming people, soon to be your
friends.
Dena Schrier, events and adventures
director, describes life at Atrium Village
as similar to a cruise ship. “We have so
many activities, you’ll have a difficult time
figuring out which one to choose. Where
would you like to go? What do you want
to participate in? Stay on the campus or
take a trip to places like the Baltimore
Museum of Art, or even Little Italy? You
can join a crochet club, play mahjong,
watch movies or shop. We bring in a
variety of entertainers on weekends It’s
a cliché, but true: There is something for
everyone. If you want something different,
we’ll help with that, too.”
Patty Potts, executive director, gives
Dena credit for creativity. “Dena’s creativity and dedication are truly inspiring,”
says Potts. “To honor our residents who
proudly served in the U.S. Armed Forces,
Dena developed a partnership with the
Honor Flight Network, a remarkable program that brings veterans to Washington,
D.C. to visit the memorials dedicated to
their service and sacrifice. Thanks to her
efforts, our veterans will have the opportunity to participate in this meaningful
experience this coming spring. We have
residents who were in the U.S. Armed
Forces. Honor Flight Network (www.honorflight.org) honors ‘our nation’s veterans
by bringing them to Washington, D.C. to
visit the memorials built to commemorate
their service and sacrifice.’ This coming
spring, Dena is making sure our veterans
participate in Honor Flight.”
Yes, there are lots of activities. You
can choose how much or how little you
want to do. Many residents spend time
in the library, the art center, game room,
fitness center or watch a movie in the
theater.
The age range of Atrium Village residents is late 60s to 100 with an average
age of 81.
You can join other residents for morning exercise, attend a bible study class
on Thursdays or Shabbat services on
Fridays. You can visit the meditation
room, go out with your friends, or stay
home. It’s all up to you.
