of both worlds for older adults: a lively
downtown residence with the comforts of home. Providing independent
living, assisted living and memory
care (Life Guidance®) options, Atria
Center City recently completed a
major renovation and expansion. A

Jury comments:
* Bright and refreshing! The
kitchen as part of the dining
experience makes the space
more intimate. I love the use of
bright whites with the soft blues
and vinyl wood floor.
* Nice use of lighting and warm
color palette.
* Light and open feel with good
color contrast of seating with
floor for safer sit/stand for
individuals who have changes
in visual perception that occurs
later in dementia process.
* Nice rework of existing space
that provided a fresh, light-filled
dining and activity space for
memory support. I like the light
color palette.
