I am so thankful for A Place for Mom. They helped me find the perfect place for my mother. Ridgecrest formerly Atria fits all of my mother's needs and wants. She still has her independence but people are there to look after her at the same time. They are great people. They seem to genuinely care, as if they were all family.

My mom is very happy here. The facility really is beautiful, with a heated in-door swimming pool, a bar with a happy hour every evening and a central courtyard. Really like a high-end apartment but with assisted living. My mom does not need a lot of care yet but services can be stepped up as needed without moving her to another room.

Overall we have been pleased with Ridgecrest formerly Atria. My mom is as happy there as she could be without being in her own home. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would definitely recommend this community to other families.

My father had an excellent time at Ashton Commons. The staff was exceptional and made sure that he connected with the other residents and was engaged in multiple activities each day.

I did recommend a good friend for their mom who is there now for a little over a month experiencing the same deficiencies. There were great sales presentation of services on front end. We picked this community because of the eficiencies providing the services promised, ie: laundry / apt. cleaning

July 11, 2023We are thrilled to have you as part of the Atria family! Thank you for sharing your kind words with us. It means the world to us and to our team!
Few residents are independent. Mostly, it's just less organized than community we came from. Very little communications with families. Price hike was 15% after 6 months in 2023.

Our family had an in person tour with Atria McCandless and based on based on our tour experience we thought that the community was a little to modern of an atmosphere and just did not get a good feeling.

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!

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.

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!!

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!

My mom just moved into Atria McCandless, and it has been a wonderful place for her. Her apartment is big and beautiful, the aides and residents are happy and helpful, and the whole "feel" of the facility is warm and welcoming. Thank you Atria McCandless!

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.
