About Atrium Place Health and Rehabilitation

Step beyond the lobby’s polished veneer and you enter a hellscape stamped with a humiliating one-star rating by every major review site—and by Medicare itself. Federal investigators have already hammered Atrium Place with $258,000 in fines and 40 separate health-code citations, while multiple lawsuits and an active Medicare abuse probe circle overhead. Call bells echo unanswered, medications vanish, and frail residents are left to wither unattended, their pain muffled beneath a management culture that trades dignity for revenue.

The stories grow darker still: elders tied to chairs, struck, and neglected until death, staff accused of stealing patients’ prescriptions and openly dealing illegal drugs inside the very halls meant for healing. Families who entrusted loved ones here now grieve unbearable losses—each tragedy a stark warning that no one is safe behind these doors. If Atrium Place has scarred your family, share your story and help tear away the secrecy that lets this nightmare persist. Your voice can force accountability—and save lives still trapped within.
