Really Wonderful!

All of the staff goes above and beyond for the residents. [name removed] has been fantastic to work with and made the transition extremely easy. The apartments are beautiful , the food is great and the activities are awesome. The residents seem very happy and well cared for at Atria McCandless. It has been such a positive experience so far for my father. He’s smiling, making friends and the happiest I’ve seen him in a long time. Such a relief to know he is in good hands and enjoying himself. Thank you Atria!

Really Excellent

We have a number of family members at Atria McCandless and they have been simply wonderful. A transition after a crisis is never easy, but the staff at Atria are patient, attentive, and kind. We do all our family events in the family room and we know that our loved ones are receiving the care they deserve.

What An Awesome Experience

I had visited 5 Senior Care facilities before I chose Atria of McCandless for my elderly mom. She has been in there approximately 2 weeks and she absolutely loves it there. She said everyone knows her name and is so courteous to her. That is so reassuring to me because she did not want to move from her home to a facility. I was afraid she would hate it there and it would be a constant fight with mom, but not so! The experience for both me and mom have been nothing but awesome from Atria. I am so glad I chose them!!

Beyond our expectations!

Atria McCandless is an impressive facility with great activities for residents and guests. We love the movie theatre, game room, bar and bistro. But the most amazing resource of this place is the group of people that work there. The dozens of people that we’ve met from management to caregivers to the chef to maintenance have been caring and professional at all times. They will give your family member the love and care that they deserve!

Great place to be

Mom moved in about 4 months ago. She is doing great! The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They will do whatever they can to help your loved one get acclimated and enjoy their life. There are plenty of activities for the residents and the place is always very clean.

Amazing place!!

My brother and I fell in love with Atria the moment we set foot inside and knew it was the perfect place for our dad. The facilities are BEAUTIFUL (new, clean, and very well designed) and everyone on staff is extremely warm and welcoming. The social model of living at Atria keeps him engaged and entertained. He especially likes the happy hours and they have a buddy system for all new residents so they can be introduced around and have someone to have meals and pal around with. I would highly highly recommend Atria (and already have) to anyone looking for a lovely and caring place for their aging parent(s).

My Loved One Is Happy

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.

Our Atria experinece

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.

HIghly Recommend

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.
