Atrium at Gainesville,
a Holiday Retirement
Community

The Atrium at Gainesville residents enjoy a variety of health and fitness activities, from weekly group exercise classes to anytime access to on-site fitness equipment.

Join our daily walking club. Go for a swim in the heated pool or attend water aerobics classes. Learn some new moves in Zumba class. Start your day with morning chair exercises. Use the machines in our fitness center. We have onsite physical and occupational therapists if you're ever in need of those services.

Enjoy restaurant-style dining served with courtesy and caring by our staff who know you. Chef-prepared meals are served every day in The Atrium at Gainesville's dining room. Sit with friends or invite your family for a special occasion in our private dining room. Each meal is designed to meet the unique nutritional needs of community members.

Our chef welcomes feedback and suggestions. He hosts a monthly roundtable and has a food liaison committee. Residents especially love his shrimp and grits, chili with cornbread, and biscuits and gravy dishes.

There’s so much to explore in the Gainesville area and The Atrium at Gainesville makes sure that residents experience as much as possible. Regular outings to favorite restaurants, local events, and more introduce residents to all their neighborhood has to offer and connect them to the surrounding community.

Complimentary transportation provides residents with easy access to a variety of local activities, events and attractions, including a weekly restaurant outing, as well as trips to museums, casinos, and shopping malls.

The Atrium at Gainesville’s comprehensive calendar is packed with both recurring activities and special events. The variety of available activities is meant to enrich the whole person by stimulating physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, creative, social or vocational wellness.

Our gardening club is very popular. Residents have their own plots and the club even releases a monthly newsletter. We're in the heart of Gator Country, so naturally we have a tailgating party for every game. Fraternities from the University of Florida often come root on the team with us.

Furry friends are welcomed as residents at The Atrium at Gainesville. We understand how important the companionship and bond that seniors share with their pets. We’re delighted to have cats, dogs, birds, and even bunnies as part of our community.

Pooches love frolicking with four-legged friends in our fenced-in dog park. Our outdoor cat likes to hang out with residents all day and sits with them while they wait to board the community bus.

The Atrium at Gainesville is fully equipped with WiFi access to help you stay connected in common areas. You can use a community desktop to stay up to date, or you can connect your personal devices to the WiFi in common areas throughout.

Residents have access to the community Wii for Wii bowling and other games. Our resident enrichment coordinator hosts "Tech Tuesdays," where residents learn about technology and how to use social media, book online tickets, print documents, use smartphones, and more. We also have an "ALEXA apartment," so residents can try out a virtual assistant.

The exclusive Travel & Stay program offers residents exciting opportunities to travel around the country, with free stays of up to seven days at any of Holiday Retirement’s more than 260 communities. Three chef-prepared meals are included with each trip. Visit all 43 states or just choose a favorite new location or two.

From your new home community you can also travel to destinations throughout the world through the Travel Adventure Program, through educational activities and food specific to the chosen destination. Reserve your seat for the next travel destination with us!

Many residents find a sense of fulfillment in donating their time and skills to a cause close to their hearts. For instance, some residents knit hats for preemies at the local hospital and make bookmarks for schools. The community comes together every year to support the local women's shelter and Toys for Tots. We also host a Back to School event every August. Our volunteer resident ambassador program helps new residents feel welcomed and comfortable.

People from the surrounding community give back to us too with regular volunteers from glee clubs, fraternities, and boy scouts.
