Atria McCandless was clean and nice. We saw the rooms. Everything was great, except for a couple of things. They were pretty much in line moneywise with the other facility. The only reason that I didn't go with them is, at the time my mother had a catheter in, and they said they would not change the catheter. She was too weak, unsteady, and she can't see really good. There was no way that she could change her own bag. They didn't have the facility to do that, and that was the determining factor for me. That's a biggie, because as far as I'm concerned, there probably would be a lot of people that are elderly at some point, for whatever reason, who might have to have a catheter. The staff member who gave us the tour, she was awesome, thorough, and as nice as can be. I actually broke down and cried at one point, and she was just very tender. I can't say enough about the tour in general, it was great. They showed me two different rooms and one in particular was not set up for somebody that's 93 years old. It had a countertop, which was beautiful with high seating. My mother would never have been able to get off and on that seating, and that would have been where she would be eating. So, that was kind of a turn off for me. The dining area was nice, it was probably a five. In the morning, they had pastries out where the residents there could actually go in and grab a pastry or whatever. If they didn't want to eat there, they could take it back to their room. They had a lot of options, like a quick hot dog or hamburger or whatever. That would be nice for a lot of people that don't actually want to sit down and have a big meal. It was mainly the fact that I didn't like the one room set up, and the other one was not as nice as the other facility. I did not like the fact that they could not facilitate changing a catheter bag. That's why they're there, to get assistance. If they can't take care of the medical needs, to me, that's a big turnoff.

My loved one is very happy here. If the resident needs more care along their journey in the community, the resident will not have to move rooms. This was a big plus for us. There are three meals a day served with flexible hours for the residents. They also have a bistro option for the residents to utilize. I believe the community can be a bit short staffed on occasion.

We chose Atria because out initial experience was very good. We were looking for something that was not a traditional nursing home. This facility is close to where my daughter lives and she is able to pop in and see him regularly than if he were at home. They did not disclose everything at the beginning, I am picking up on things as I go along. For example they do have a van to transport residents to appointments, I found out they only go within a 10 mile radius. It also only runs Monday through Wednesdays from 10 to 2 and that was not something that we were told up front. I do think they should disclose more of the smaller details in the beginning.

My loved one is doing very well at Atria McCandles. He likes the facility a lot and seems to be happy with the services provided.

The staff is very congenial and helpful. They go out of their way to help us navigate some of the insurance issues and logistics of being there. I know it's in their best interest, but they also do a pretty good job of helping us. By far, it was the best place that I experienced in the process of looking for a place for my loved one. The value for what we're getting is great. Really the only issue has been that she's not too keen on a lot of the food.
