'Atria Bills' Get Support From Assisted Living Residents, Family Members, Sen...(es. Recently residents at Atria faciliti...),Health

es. Recently, residents at Atria facilities in Davis, Carmichael and Walnut Creek have protested the exorbitant rent increases they've received. Several Atria residents in Davis and Carmichael also suffered blackouts this winter because state law does not require Atria and other assisted living facilities to have a back-up generator.

Average rent increases at assisted living facilities are 4 to 5% a year. However, Atria Senior Living residents have been hit with rate increases up to 11%. Many residents have seen massive increases for two or more years.
