Arcadia Senior Living Clarksville

I toured Arcadia Senior Living Clarksville. They are very invested in their people. It is a very clean, updated, safe environment. It is not on a main highway. My husband and I would move in there in a heartbeat if we were of that age, it's exactly what we were looking for. The staff was very helpful and very nice. They interacted with people as we were walking around. They knew everybody's names. Somebody needed some help while we were there, and they paused for a moment and gave them their assistance, so they are very hands-on. Everything was very clean, everything was very up-to-date, and everything was in a very nice livable condition. No updating that needed to go on. They also have a library, a gym, and outdoor spaces.

Arcadia Senior Living Clarksville has everything that we're interested in, including the part where we could take our pets. They have a very nice facility, it's clean and orderly, and the staff was very friendly. It's near the local hospital, so we were just very happy with it. They have a gym, a small library on each floor, and a restaurant-style dining area where you can order room service. There's also laundry on each floor, or you can pay extra and have your laundry done. So they take good care of you. We were happy enough with Arcadia that we didn't visit any other facilities because pets were a big issue for us. We have older animals and we want to be sure that they can go with us.

I loved Arcadia Senior Living Clarksville very much. We had a person from church admitted there. His only complaint was that he had gained 5 pounds in the first week because the food was so good. One thing that was very nice was that each floor had something different. He used to play pool as a young man, and his room was next to the community pool table. He was able to meet people that way. They also had a little movie theater. They played bingo. They had a beauty shop/hair salon. On Wednesdays, I think they had a wine get together. They had an ice cream parlor. There was a washer-dryer on each floor, or they would do the laundry for you. They were very helpful and very nice.

My tour experience in Arcadia Senior Living Clarksville was excellent. What I liked about the community is that, it was in an area where my father-in-law could have access to the things around without going the long distance. It was clean. The people, their staff, and the residents seemed very welcoming and very polite. We haven't tried the food there, but we did talk about it. At the time that I went there, the food seemed like it was very delicious, and the residents there enjoyed it. Another thing I like about it is that it had the ala carte; just in case somebody didn't want the meal, they had other things that were available to them. So, it was excellent. I did see the barbershop there and the post office. They had a little library and some study areas that I thought were pretty good if somebody wants some quiet time to read. They said they have excursions, and they go out into the community. I saw the event manager there, and they were having a birthday party for a lady that had turned 100 years old. They were doing it up nice for the lady and had the balloons out and everything. It was very nice. One thing I did notice, my father-in-law is African American, and I didn't see a whole lot of diversity there. We talked about that, but that was neither here nor there because a lot of African American families take care of their families more than putting them in some type of facility.

My mother moved to Arcadia Senior Living Clarksville for a couple of weeks now. We had nothing but a great experience. We did the survey and there was a young lady, I think she's the activities director, and she did the tour for us. She was extremely knowledgeable, it went well and she's very personable. I found that it was great looking at the facilities and it was extremely clean. They have a lot of activities, they have a theater, they have their exercise room, a nice restaurant, salon, and post office. Everything's right there; I thought it was fabulous. Mom has a 1-bedroom. I looked at some of the other 1-bedrooms from another facility, and it was quite a bit larger than what I'd seen. It has a full refrigerator, where the other ones only had like a small half-fridge. There are plenty of cabinets and door space. She was able to get all the furniture in her bedroom, a lot of closet space in the pantry. It was perfect; not too big and not too small. Everything looks nice as far as the maintenance is concerned. There's nothing really for us to do, we just took our furniture in and put some pictures on the wall and it looks like home. Everyone I've talked to has been knowledgeable and extremely caring. It's a fantastic experience. The staff even know who she is; I heard one of the nurses tell another nurse, "That's Mary, she's in room such and such." So I thought that was extremely unique. My mom says the food is good; she didn't say it's great. She said there's so much to do there that she doesn't know if she's coming or going. She's been sitting in a house, and now all of a sudden, she's got all these activities. She's socializing with all these different people, and I think it's wonderful. It's expensive, but I understand that a lot is going on there. You have to have a large staff to keep the facility up and running and keeping it clean, so it's understandable.

My Mother’s condition was deteriorating and when I brought this to the attention of on-site management they kept putting off getting a diagnosis just claiming it was a UTI. Turns out she had pneumonia for the past 3-4 weeks!! Very rude Resident Service Director and Executive Director. They said they were too busy and understaffed to take care of my Mom’s needs! Have decided to place her elsewhere.
