Arcadia Senior Living Clarksville

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.

After checking out facilities in this and five surrounding counties, we selected Arcadia. My 90 year old MIL became a resident of Arcadia 2 months ago. She was hesitant at first (she stresses about even the slightest change) but very quickly adapted to her new surroundings and really enjoys living here. We haven’t seen her this active for months! The staff is superb, friendly, always smiling. They seem to love their jobs and they clearly love the residents. We haven’t spoken to a resident yet that has anything negative to say, in fact, most relay (without prompt) that moving here was the best decision they ever made. The restaurant-style chef prepared meals are nothing short of delicious! If compassion, caring staff and excellent care is your goal, you won’t want to miss this place. My husband and I have achieved a sense of comfort knowing our loved one is receiving the best care available. Spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, small enough to be personable, all the amenities anyone could want, this is definitely a five star facility!

At first, my Mom was not interested in moving out of her house, but after her visit to Arcadia she seemed excited about living in a facility like this. She liked that the Dining Room was beautiful and she wouldn't have to cook any meals; she liked the huge fitness center and exercise classes offered; and she said she looked forward to making some new friends and socializing with others. The facility is very conveniently located by Doctor offices, the mall and I-24. We have found the staff to be very friendly and efficient! They cater to Mom's needs very well and greet her with a smile and/or a hug. We are very happy to visit her and see how happy she is at Arcadia.
