Feedback for The Atrium at Cardinal Drive

My mother has a particular mix of needs and was bored in a nursing home memory care. She's somewhat advanced in her cognitive decline, needs help with many ADLs, and is a big fall risk (no clue what the "stupid" walker is), but she benefits from lots of structured activities, physical exercise, and socialization. We were very happy to find The Atrium, which meets her at that sweet spot. We also like the levels of care cost structure, so she's paying for what she needs at the time. The best part is the staff - the …

Family experience

Allison Baker was incredibly helpful through our whole experience. My mother-in-law ended up on hospice at the Atrium. I suggest making sure it is explicitly stated that there is not nursing care 24/7. When told they were able to care for hospice patients we assumed that meant her needs would be met. We ended up having to stay with her to give her pain meds and the nurses at the Atrium weren't comfortable with managing pain. We definitely would have had her go to a SNF instead. We understood that there was a 30 day…

a nice community with areas of improvement.

I was told it would cost no more than [fee removed] per month and then they tried telling me after a few months that my mom was the highest level of care. She Did Not need a hoyer lift and was an assist of 1. I loved the activities/music for her and the nursing staff was excellent but then they charged me [fee removed] in [date removed] so I needed to move my mom out of the atrium to locate a memory care that provided safety and interaction at a more reasonable cost
