Atlantic At Charter Colony

Vandhalia

My mother stayed at Atlantic at Charter Colony for around 5 years. I liked them before COVID because after COVID, it changed them. Before COVID, they offered so much, like she could get her hair done there. They had a lot of activities for her to do, like play games and bingo. They were just always doing something. Mom was never in her apartment. She was always out doing things. And I thought that was good for her. Her actual apartment was nice. She was in a 2-bedroom unit because she just wanted more space. I liked the place a lot. It was very good. I didn't deal with the staff a whole lot, but they were good. They've helped me a few times like when I couldn't reach my mom, they would go check on her and let me know that she was OK. The place was always very clean. They didn't offer food because it wasn't assisted living. There were a few times where I felt like sometimes because it's a 55 and older facility, some of the younger people would kind of bully my mom. After all my mom was so much older. I felt like they would take advantage of her like my mom would give them money or whatever. She would be afraid of some of them. But that's not to say that all the people there were bad. Honestly, she made some good friends there, and the majority of the people were nice. They did end up getting rid of those people. It was like 2 people that bothered my mom quite a bit, and I think they bothered other people too. So, they eventually had them go somewhere else.

We liked The Atlantic the most. The people were friendly. The place is clean. It is conveniently located.

A fairly recently built facility near downtown Midlothian. The exterior is clean and nice looking and as you first walk to the entrance you are usually greeted by a friendly group of residents sitting outside either enjoying a cigarette or simply the weather. Once you walk in there is a large lobby/reception area and a little further in is a large commons area for residents to sit and socialize. It seems as though many of the residents are very active and social still for their advanced age. I believe this is because it is a facility that does offer some assisted living but does not take care of patients needing special attention. When I go to drop off food for some of the residents there I am always met in this lobby/commons area so I have not had the chance to see much more of the facility or even talk to any of the staff.
