I recently visited Atria McCandless and could not be more impressed. The staff were friendly and engaging, the residents looked well-groomed, and the atmosphere was incredibly welcoming. The apartments are modern and spacious, while the Memory Care facility has a beautiful outdoor courtyard. My aunt lives here and loves it; she enjoys all the activities offered throughout the day as well as the delicious food. I would highly recommend this community to anyone looking for a great place for senior living!
