- I am not a stranger to Assisted Living Facilities; almost all of my career/volunteer paths have provided the opportunity to walk halls, visit rooms and talk with residents and team members. Atria Tamalpais Creek is a gem. What might one notice? The smiles. Each team member at Atria offers a sincere smile, which acts as the doorway to positive experiences at events, dining, professional encounters or just a passing of two people in the hallway. This is the key to the feeling of inclusion felt by the residents. My experiences at Atria Tamalpais Creek have mostly involved the activities orchestrated by Helen Bond. She creates thoughtful opportunities for residents to engage with both each other and with the community. Opportunity is the right word. We can all relate to days when we are low on energy, and prefer to turn inwards. Helen offers residents the encouragement to connect and put forth the energy. The results are stellar, as participants appear to truly find the joy in creating, learning, listening to music and watching others do so. All are included. This is a hallmark - it’s easy to offer a schedule of events (or simply set up a room, get a bus). Helen’s dedication to coaching team members in ways to encourage resident engagement is the key. All are respected. The variety of activities is significant, allowing different energy levels for residents, including moments of reflection (days past and current moments). Helen is an open-minded listener and responder. It’s no wonder that the staff and residents of Atria Tamalpais smile.
