I decided on Atria Chandler Villas because it has everything I wanted. I was deciding between this community and another one in FL, and the key deciding factors were the apartment and storage space. The activities were also a little more exciting than those in other communities; they go to places for golf or out to eat in restaurants, and also had different programs of activities and so on. I recently lost my wife and didn't have anyone to talk to, and I like that the people in Atria Chandler Villas are more interactive. I saw them having a little party with entertainment. The staff also seems to intermingle a lot and talk and do things for you. The food is very good; two or three things could use a little more salt, but all in all it's good. The person who does the exercise in the pool is very into knowing what I like. I also met a housekeeping staff member, and she was very nice. I would highly recommend them.

Atria Chandler was an older facility, and it appeared to be a bunch of apartments that were taken over and refurbished. It was spread out quite a bit, like dorms, and it was not for my mom. It was well-maintained, however, the room that they showed us had cigarette burns in the carpets, which indicated that the no smoking guidelines were not followed. It was more affordable, but it was not suited for my mom's needs.

The rooms at Atria were very nice. My mom likes them. They have different things and games for the people there. The set up was very nice. The staff was very nice and very cordial, too. They spoke slowly so my mother could understand. They were very understanding.

I found Atria Chandler to be friendly and very clean, and the people seemed happy. There was good interaction between the people. We visited twice and had a delicious meal there.

My uncle moved into The Atria (Atria Chandler Villas). It’s really nice; of course, it’s the bigger room that he has. It’s a nice area. He has been there a month, and he seems to like it. He has a 650-square feet. There is a very small kitchen, which he doesn’t use. It has a dining-living room area and a fairly large bedroom. I went to about five other places, and The Atria was considered the cheaper. They also had bigger rooms.

I visited Atria Chandler Villas. It was well done, but it didn’t seem to be the right place for me. I couldn’t imagine myself there. The rooms were good and adequate. They were small, though. The staff was fine. She did a good job. What I didn’t like about it was the whole neighborhood. My companion and I like to walk every morning, but it would have been a very boring walk around there with its lack of greenery.

My mother was at Atria a year ago, and we and my mother loved the community. They have lots of activities and a caring environment. The caregivers were very good, very conscientious, and addressed if there were problems or issues. It was very well run and maintenance was very good.

My parents are in Atria Chandler Villas. The people and staff are very nice and friendly. There are a lot of activities. The rooms are small but good. You can't expect a lot. The only problem that we have with that place is they don't do a lot of extra caregiving. They do medications and stuff like that, but you have to pay extra. It's more for really independent seniors. They like the food. They have a two-bedroom with a tiny kitchen, a little dining area, a living room, and a little back porch where they can sit outside.

Atria’s overall appearance was great. The apartments were very small, but I loved the place and the residents. They were all nice.

Atria Chandler Villas was centrally located near a main hospital. The staff was very friendly. The dining area was very warm and inviting, and the apartments were very nice. I really did not see anything negative. It was a little expensive, but they all are. They were very helpful; I was in communication with the director who was very helpful. We were not ready to make a decision yet, but it was very good. I was there on a Saturday, so it was very crowded, very busy, and very lively. There were a lot of people eating and families visiting. It was very nice. I would consider putting my father there when the time comes. I have not shown my father, but I would once he gets to that point. It was strictly independent living, though they did some assistance but light assistance. The director was very honest with me and said that if he needs heavy assistance, we would have to move him to another place. That would be a negative because I would not want to move my father twice. However, there were a lot more people in the same demographic as him. He's Hispanic, and there were some Hispanic residents that would be his friends that spoke his language.

My mom was at Atria Chandler Villas, but I had to move her out after a week because she is back in the hospital now, and she is not going to be able to go back. However, the staff at Atria Chandler Villas was awesome. The director was extremely helpful. She even came and visited my mom in the hospital. There is really no set lease there; it was month-to-month, but technically, I would have had to give 30-day notice and pay for an additional month. However, since my mother had only been there for three days, they just let me pay that one month, and that was it.
Well, the rooms were very nice and very spacious. There were lots of rooms. I would totally recommend Atria Chandler Villas -- They were great. The dining room was very nice. They have a ton of activities. They have swimming classes and bingo. They have a calendar where they list everyday all of the activities going on. They have church services on site, and they also take you to the church that you want to go to. They go to the bank and post office too.

Atria Chandler was by far the one that would meet all of mom's needs. We were also impressed with the staff. The lady who interviewed us and showed us around didn't pass anybody she didn't know personally. For the money, you get the most care for the dollar amount. It's a full apartment. Mom is a petite lady, so everything is in reach. She can still have her independence, but she will also be able to get the assistance that she needs.

Atria Chandler Villas is a little bit older facility. At first I thought maybe it was a little bit too old, but as soon as we walked in, the inside is very well maintained, and the people were very friendly. It is just a very comfortable, friendly atmosphere. Everything is very well kept. There is a nice dining room and seating area for people to sit in the front lobby area to have coffee. The apartment is very nice. The one my mom got they replaced the sink and repainted it. They just fixed it up really nice. They didn't have model units, but a couple of the residents let us go in and take a look at the two of different sizes. We ate there with my mom when we moved her in. My mom has been eating there several times a day. Not everything is great, but we expected it. They have a very large menu; we had a nice sandwich and salads, and they were good. My mom tells me that the food has been good. They have different things like they have bingo, and they take them out to go to outings. They do have some church services, and they have a library. They have a little exercise type activities. My mom is not one to really be out that much, so it wasn't critical for her, but they leave something on their door at the beginning of every week to let them know what activities are happening.

I chose Atria Chandler because of the cleanliness, size of the rooms, and the cafeteria. It is a large community, but it doesn’t feel that way. The food was great, and the staff friendly and helpful. I saw their activity list like games, and it’s like a condo kind of area were apartments attached together.

The Atria was decent. It just turned out it wasn’t quite what what we were looking for. The staff was excellent; maintenance was fine. They had meals; I think the food was fine. They had separate units and they were all nice.

We lived in Atria for two years. My husband located it on the internet. Atria was fine. It was good to begin with, but the last couple of months weren't so good. Otherwise, it was good. They have three meals a day, so it was quite reasonable. The rooms/apartments were very clean. Once a week, they would do your linens, change your beds, and clean your apartment. Security was good. There were also a lot of good activities. Atria was an older building, and it needed a lot of repair because of the age of the building and so on, but they're keeping up with it very well.

We are very impressed with Atria Chandler Villas. Everything is absolutely excellent first class. It is very clean, well operated and well managed. It’s like little apartments with warning systems if you needed help in the middle of the night. All bases covered. They are doing a very good job but it isn’t cheap.

The facility is very well kept. The staff looked very friendly. It looked like they took good care of the residents. We ate lunch there and the food was excellent. They got a lot of different options in the menu. My parents really like the place, but they are just not ready to move yet. I would definitely recommend this facility to others and in fact I have already recommended it to several others.

The staff was very kind and attentive. They understood that we were looking for a safe and comfortable place and made sure to make my grandma (their future resident) and the rest of my family feel right at home. We were given a tour of the grounds, and were able to see all of the different activities that occurred on a daily basis and were able to meet other residents and talk to a few nurses. I felt very comfortable at this facility, and appreciated the fact that there were fitness and activity rooms as well as a beauty salon. This place definitely has it all.

My dad lived in this community for about 1 year. We were very impressed with the cleanliness & friendliness of the place.
My dad raved about the food a lot when he first moved in, but later apparently the main chef changed & Dad felt that the food became more average than great, but we all still enjoyed it.
There were numerous activities to participate in & plus a pool & an outdoor putting green & that gave Dad something fun to do almost daily.
More important than food & games was the conscientiousness of the staff. On more than one occasion, my father could not get up out of bed. The staff quickly alerted my sister (the closest relative). We were so pleased to know someone cared. Later, when my dad again couldn't get up out of bed, and my sister wasn't able lift him, the staff immediately called 911 & saw to it that my dad was expediently taken to a hospital.
I would definitely recommend this facility.

A very nice looking facility in Chandler. My sister and I toured this together in pursuit of placement for our ailing father.
We'd been caring for him ourselves and the burden was becoming too much. He had a pulmonary disease that was progressive and we wanted him to have care available to him 24 hours a day and not intermittently when her and I could switch off. We both have families, children, jobs and responsibilities we can't ignore and my father understood this.
Because this facility was located somewhat in between mine and her homes, we toured it along with several other places.
A very pretty place! The staff was gracious, kind and willing to show us anything and everything we wanted to see. I loved the library! My sister thought the dining area looked like a fancy cruise ship dining room.
What we both really liked was that they actually introduced us, personally, to the food service manager and the full time activities director. Yes, I said full time! So, it isn't like some facilities where events are planned a month in advance. This person actually works full time, 40 hours per week, planning events, activities and whatever else she can come up with.
They offered tons of services, had tons of amenities, staff was visible and working all over the place. It felt safe and active. Unfortunately, my fathers requirements were greater than what they provided, but I never forgot the place. I think I even went back a year later with my in laws. Worth a visit! If you're active and looking for a really calm and peaceful place to live, this is definitely worth a look.

I have a good friend at Atria Chandler Villas who loves it. What she doesn't like is that you live outside of the dining hall. They have an excellent social program. Everything is top notch, and I think they do a wonderful job. I would definitely recommend it.

Atria Chandler Villas is very comfortable. The staff and residents are very nice. The food is delicious. They have loads of things to do for the residents, like outings to restaurants, casinos, shops, and movies, and also games. You basically don't need a car when you're here. Even just sitting and talking with people is fun.

We liked Atria Chandler Villas because all the residents there seemed very happy, very friendly, and there was a lot of interaction between them and the staff. We interacted with the staff, even the cleaning people, and everybody was just awesome. The chef gave us a loaf of banana bread, and it was very delicious. We also saw the menu, and it had a lot of variety. They had outings and shopping. They also had a clubhouse where they do weekly activities. They had arts & crafts and exercises. They do the housekeeping, the sheets and the towels, and the laundry, and they make the bed. They also had a shuttle service between your apartment and the main building where the cafeteria is located. You just call them, and they’ll come and pick you up. They also provide the shuttle to take them to the medical facilities which are all close by -- around two blocks away. The director was amazing. She showed us everything, all of our questions were answered, my mom's questions were answered, and she was very friendly. You can tell that the staff cared about their residents.

I visited this community looking for a place for my parents. My mom is still pretty active, but can't keep up with the cooking, cleaning AND taking care of my dad, so something's gotta give. Atria would take care of the cooking & cleaning, so she can focus on him. I really liked that there are private front AND back doors, so Mom can hop in the car and run any errands she wants to without having to go through a lobby and sign in/out. And her cat will love the screened-in patio. Dad will be happy because this is nothing like the "old folks' home" he fears. It's like having an apartment with a housekeeper and cook included in the rent.

Atria Chandler Villas has a wide, open, and beautiful landscape. They serve three fantastic meals a day. I don't have any issues with the staff because everybody is friendly. They have plenty of activities, from card games to bingo to crafts. They also have social hours and regular parties, including during the Christmas season. Mom is in a one-bedroom apartment with a full kitchen, separate bathroom, separate bedroom, and a living room.

There were two levels, and one of the things I really liked about Atria Chandler Villas was the fact that residents who had animals will be on the bottom level. The size of the rooms were nice. Outside, there was green everywhere in the trees and flowers. There are a number of activities. I liked the lady who took me around.

I liked Atria the best. My dad has a dog and an organ that he plays, and it allowed for both of those. There were a lot of open spaces and an outdoor patio area screened in. Those were the big draw. They have activities and food three times a day, dances, and trips to places and shopping. There were a lot of things going on. The people I dealt with were absolutely fabulous.

Atria Chandler Villas was a nice place but was too independent. The staff and the rooms were nice. The rooms were a little small, but they were laid out nicely. I know they have activities, but I wasn't paying much attention. My mom was getting to pretty much the end of her rope when we toured. I guess I would recommend them. It seems everybody was happy there.

Chandler was a lot closer to me, cheaper and it was a bigger community with more activities and amenities. My sister moved in last December. It was very nice and the people all seemed very friendly. My sister had a one bedroom apartment. She doesn’t have any complaints with the staff. The staff in the dining room was particularly helpful. The dining room was pretty big, nicely decorated and well laid out for people with walkers and stuff. We ate lunch there and the food was very good and they have a large variety of alternatives. They had various games, arts and crafts as well as entertainment from people who come in and sing.

I like Atria Chandler. It was in my top 3. The people there seemed friendly. Their rooms were of good size but they weren't large enough for me. I have trouble with my sight and I need some space. Their room did have a separate dining room, which was fine, but the rest was not. The living room wasn't big enough for me too. I also didn't like their dining facility too much. It wasn't fancy at all like the others and it was kind of simple.

At present, my dad is in Atria. It is our choice because they have more male than the female residents. The people are nice. Their chef shows us around. We taste the food and it is excellent. My dad is in a one-bedroom apartment. Economically, the price is right. The utilities are included in the fees.

At Atria Chandler Villas, you rented an apartment and brought your furniture. They provided meals, television and electricity. However, we pretty much needed assistance 24/7 and she was not mobile enough, so it was not the right place for her. Although she had an electric scooter, she might drive it off the ledge of the narrow sidewalk.
