Atria McCandless has been so instrumental in the care of my precious Mom, who has dementia. The community is clean, inviting, and well-appointed. The Life Guidance (Memory Care) Director, Karen, is an absolute God-send. Truly my prayers were answered when this woman came into our lives. She provides me with on-going updates about Mom and goes above and beyond in her care of her. She texts/ calls immediately, even when she is not in the office; something I would not expect, but it is much appreciated. Once I was chatting with her on the phone while she happened to be at the store purchasing things for the residents, including my Mom. She and the LG staff have gotten to know my Mom's abilities and tendencies and use this information to keep her safe, well-fed, and happy. Chef Mark has been so helpful in helping to ensure that my Mom has meals that she enjoys eating and are healthy. Anytime I am visiting my Mom during meal time, the food smells delicious! He works with Karen and the staff to meet my Mom's individual dietary needs. My Mom is tiny and needs to not lose/ gain weight and I am happy to hear that she eats several good meals and snacks each day. The LG staff provides activities and events for their residents. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the fact that my Mom spends her days engaged and active. This is so important, especially for dementia patients. Since my Mom has become a resident, they have had a New Years party, Valentine party, St. Patrick's Day party, and a Mother's Day tea. Family was invited to the Mother's Day tea and allowed us time with Mom while we enjoyed tea, finger sandwiches, and an assortment of desserts. These activities are not only good for Mom, but help us have create memories with her. My Mom's ability to communicate is limited at this point, but when I visit her and ask her if she is happy, she always answers me with a big YES. God bless Karen, the LG staff, and all of Atria McCandless.
