What this means for your family
Atria Tamalpais Creek is an excellent choice for seniors seeking an active, high-end lifestyle with beautiful amenities and a friendly social atmosphere. However, if your loved one requires intensive memory care for advanced dementia, you should specifically interview the nursing staff about their training for combative behaviors, as some families have noted gaps in this area.
