Churchman Village

My parents (92 & 81) moved into the Atrium in August 2017. I traveled from my home in the Seattle area to help them with the move and stayed in their 2 bed/2 bath apartment in August 2017, in February 2018 and just concluded an 11-day stay with them. Management and staff have created a warm and safe environment for this small community of residents (about 40). Staff are always friendly and caring. Yes, I could stay at a hotel but honestly, I enjoy spending time at the Atrium. The facility is bright and cheery with sunlight filling the open common area. Staff genuinely like the residents and spend time talking with them. The activities are FUN thanks to the most amazing Activities Director! My mother, at 81, is Wii bowling! And she’s singing and doing exercises and both my parents are playing bingo and going to Happy Hour on Fridays. And if that’s not enough, there are special programs like the German Polka Band that played for us on Thursday night and the Family/Resident/Staff Game Night on Saturday. I am so grateful to Sydney, Susan, Stefan and the dedicated team at the Atrium. They rock!

My grandmother moved into the Atrium just over 6 months ago. She has lived with me for five years, but I have had two children since then. Though it was a tough decision, my husband and I found it best for her to move into an assisted care facility because she deserved undivided 24/7 care. Unfortunately, having two young children at home, I could not provide her with the care she deserved. When she moved into the Atrium, I could not have been more impressed from the moment we walked in. Not only is the facility exemplary in cleanliness, the kindness and care that the nurses and staff provide set an industry standard and are far superior to other facilities we have visited. Thank you, Churchman's Village, for making a tough decision so much easier. I could not recommend you enough!!

I recently was there for rehab. The staff providing rehab were committed and caring. I only wish they were not time pressured, so they could be relaxed and spend more time with patients. Despite this, they do a good job. The nursing staff including the direct care staff, work very hard. It seems each staff member has many patients to care for, they still do a good job. The facility is cleaned daily and there are no bad smells, even though there is lots of incontinence. The food is good, especially for an institutional setting. The facility is old and not as modern as today’s nursing facilities, although they try to make it look as nice as possible. I didn’t want to mention any names because I didn’t want anyone to feel overlooked. I do have to mention social worker Tish , she is amazing, and can get thing done in a couple of days that it would take others months to do. There are always several issues at anyplace. I do not feel that it is anything worth listing, as they are issues that could easily be resolved. I wasn’t there but for a couple of weeks, I would have liked more time and could have made more progress, that’s my personal issue.
