Unhappy wife

My husband was left in a soiled adult diaper ALL day. He fell trying to go to the bathroom so they put an adult diaper on him which they never changed. They took his cell phone away so he could not call me to tell me what was going on. I am writing a report to Medicare. These places should not be allowed to do this to people.

I truly love Atria Valley Manor. It did not have the capability to move up to an assisted living category because it was purely independent living. The staff is extremely friendly and courteous. The layout of the property is excellent. You feel like you are in your own unit because every unit has an outside entrance and most have patios. It is also extremely well maintained, both inside and out. I told the manager if it wasn't for the fact that we need to prepare for assisted living, I would not have moved. I really like that place. The meals were included, but that would be the only thing I have to knock them down on at all. The quality of food in the four years that we were in there seemed to have degraded. There is more fat than meat and that would be my biggest complaint. Some of the meat was also kind of tough. When we first moved there, that was not the case. It was so well maintained, you would never know it was built in the 1960's.

Splendido at Rancho Vistoso was very nice. I have a feeling that it also costs a lot of money, so I haven't looked into that much further. They are more like regular villas, and they're quite fancy. Its size and layout was great, and the staff was very nice too. I only went there to tour the new villas, so I didn't see their amenities.

I thought Atria Bell Court Gardens was an excellent place. They showed me the one-bedroom, and it was very nice. As far as I could tell, all of them had a patio or a balcony with enough room to sit out on, which I liked. The staff was very nice too. I know they have an exercise area, but I didn't get the chance to see that. They have a library and a nice-looking pool.

I am at the Echelon of Tucson, and it's not as good as I thought it would be. They have a kitchen, and they give you boxed meals. But I could hardly chew the meat because it was so tough. They clean my place once a month, but I have trouble with mails, so it just stacks all over the place, and it is driving me nuts. They do things like bingo or TV, crossword puzzles, and there's a movie about every afternoon. They have a Bible study which I thought they stopped, but I guess they started that again. They have one common room downstairs and one for TV, I think. I have never been there because I am in an electric wheelchair. When I got this place, I had to use my savings to buy furniture, $1780 is a lot and I am not really getting much at all. I got the smallest room in the place. My biggest problem is, of course you need to take a shower, but I have to pay close to $700-$800 just to replace the bathtub.

I visited a friend in Santa Rita Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. I considered the staff and the people that worked there to be excellent. The apartments were very small and some of them had two people in each one. The room that my friend was in, he had a roommate, but the room was very large and it was kind of dark; it wasn't well lit. For the most part, I get it. Like the apartments and the outside grounds are nice for the people, but the room where they send the patients, it wasn't what I would call "kind of home-like." Otherwise, it wasn't too bad of a place. I sat with my friend while he ate, and then helped him. He seemed to like the food, but I couldn't tell you what it was like. I was also there for breakfast several times. It was rather meager, but probably it was alright. He was in the behavioral section and I did not see any activities. It was clean and the structure was pretty good.

My wife and I have lived here for 5 years and plan on staying as long as possible. For us, it is like living in a resort but with the added benefits of making long-term friends and feeling like part of a caring community.

The people who showed me around Echelon of Tucson were friendly. It seemed very nice and well kept. They told me about various activities that you could do there. The dining area was very nice, the people who did the serving were nice, and the food was good. The apartment had plenty of room. The amenities and everything I saw seemed very nice. Everybody was nice, very amenable and helped out and offered suggestions.

I went to Atria Bell Court Gardens and loved it, but I cannot afford it. It was beautiful. I liked the atmosphere. The place was gorgeous and did not look like a nursing home; it looked like a resort. They were very nice there, the food was delicious, and the staff member, Debbie, was excellent.
