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.
