My husband entered Atria as a Respite patient last Feb he was only suppose to be there for a month. He did okay the first two weeks he was there. The only reason he was there is I was going to have hip surgery and I needed to make sure he was being taken care of while I went into rehab after surgery. After the second week he became less capable than when he went in. My thoughts on that are their was very little interaction between the aides and the patients. While every one was headed down to breakfast the attendants weren't paying attention and my husband fell. He did a face plant and required stitches on his face. No one came to his aide when they saw him (as they say) running. I know he wasn't able to run. After that fall it was a seriously rapid decline. He became less mobile and the attendants said they couldn't take care of him any more. They wanted him out as of yesterday. Now here I am on crutches less than a month after surgery out with my daughter and son looking for a new facility. Everyone knows how long it takes to find a good facility. Especially now that my husband had declined. The head nurse and the director of the facility kept calling and threatening me that I needed to hire private nurses to take care of him. I did my best and contacted the VA. They were great. The VA did send in some aides but the aides at Atria weren't cooperating with the VA aides. Atria went and hired nurses and said I had to pay for them. They said their aides needed help. Every time I spoke to one of the hired nurses they said they couldn't get any of the aides to help them. That was the reason they were hired to assist the aides from Atria.My son was called numerous times to go over to Atria and either get my husband in or out of a chair and many times get him up from bed. They left him in bed and he missed breakfast. I wouldn't recommend Atria to my worst enemy. One woman actually slept on the sofa instead of in her room. They left her there because it was easier for them. I'm sure the woman gave them a hassle but that is their job to assist the patient and make sure they are safe. What if there was a fire and they couldn't find her. They didn't spend much time with the patients. Especially at night they would get them ready for bed very early and then just let them sit in front of the TV while the person who was to be interacting with the patient was talking on her cell phone. I hope no one else makes the same mistake I did with their loved one. When you interview Atria they sound perfect. Part of the family they say. Don't believe them. By the way I didn't mean to hit the star. I definitely don't recommend them at all. read more
