Ark Post Acute Network

My mother has recently made the move into this community and she is really enjoying her self for the most part. She enjoys participating in a few of the activities they have available and loves the bingo with her friends. They chef does a great job with the meals and makes sure that all of the residents have well balanced and nutritious dinners. I would recommend this place to anyone interested.

We are at day 10 of my mother in law's stay @ Colonial Care. My biggest concern is there is no communication with the direct staff caring for her. I have made numerous calls & left messages with only one call being returned. Some things don't seem to be as was told to me during the initial visit & interview of the facility. I hope this makes a turn around very soon, if not, I will be removing her from that facility,

It was a little rough at first, but the care is better now. It's definitely better than it was at the last place she lived. It's also less expensive. So we get better care for less money.

I think that they don't really have anyone in charge to make sure that things that are getting done. Everyone is very, very nice but normal things that should get done are not always done. I think they do exercises and birthday parties in terms of activities. It is an older community, and very affordable. Not as fancy, but very clean and the rooms are nice. My aunt is very happy.

Stay away. They serve their residents cold food according to the resident's council during two separate reporting periods.They don't communicate with Healthcare POA concerning health issues or treatments and run a pharmacy scam with Partners Pharmacy.

we toured Lafreniere and we didn't care for it. it wasn't as open and clean as the community we chose. the other community also had better activities and larger living quarters for the residents.

The room was very spacious as were the closets and it had a cutr kitchen; however I felt like I was in an institution and the alarm and sprinkler system and hvac system were ugly.

When we toured the Atrium Assisted Living we met only one person who gave us the tour. As soon as I walked in I knew it was not the right place for my loved one. I felt it was depressing and not as clean as I expected.

We were not terribly impressed with The Atrium. Though the staff was warm and receptive they didn instill confidence regarding their capabilities. Also there was a strong smell of urine in the lobby reception area and the decor was dated and drab--some chairs were tattered with upholstery requiring repair. My husband noted a glass coffee table that may present a hazard to residents should they fall. Regretfully based on our visit I don’t feel this is the place for our loved one who has Alzheimer’s dementia.

40 yr building, not much outside scenery, however rooms are large, bathrooms were outdated cast iron tub would need a cut out for a walk in tub. Sitting & dinning area cozy with sunlight coming through like a natural court yard. Cost not to bad, however, only a 30 day term so price could rise every 30 days if they wanted. Friendly staff, fairly clean,central air/heat,emergency pull chord, stove/oven range and refridgerator. Room could use afresh up on paint. All & all not to bad.

Facility is old and shows its age completely. Staff was very friendly and approachable. There were almost no residents out at the time I went.

Overall place need new Administrators. Old enough to care about how patients are treated. Make vitamins more enjoyable, Animals on Assistance for themselves and others to enjoy. Nurse does not help enough and airs don't care if food is served cold nor does administrative. Overall it is not the Place for older adults to me. Very boring. Young administrative Does not know-how to run this

Overall not a good place. The food is terrible and there really aren't any activities.

My loved one was a resident at Lafreniere and the experience was terrible. I would not recommend this facility to others.

If you are looking for a facility straight of the Twilight Zone, this one is for you. I was mortified and disgusted. I felt so awful for the residents. Upon arriving, I was greeted after about 3 minutes with "you need something?". I was there for a tour. First strike. After entering a locked facility, with dirty keypad and door, we were led past the kitchen. At 3 pm and dinner coming shortly, the dirty dishes from lunch (complete with leftover food) were piled up on carts lining the hallway outside of the kitchen. Strike 2. All of the bedroom doors were filthy. The area around the doorknobs were brown. The bottom half of the door was layered with dirt, I assume from shoes. Strike three. I would be interested to find out what type of bacteria etc. is growing in this place, not to mention "other things". For daily activities, all residents were piled into a small room with a tv. It was warm, and smelled of body odor. The room we were led into so that we had an idea of layout, etc. belonged to one of the residents. Again, musty smelling, unmade beds, and disgusting. If there was a strike 4 and 5, this would be it. Could not wait to exit this place!!!

This place is a complete lie no of this Therapist Visiting Podiatrist Homecare Onsite 24-Hour Awake Staff Visiting Physical Therapist Nurses on Staff Visiting Nurse Visiting Speech Therapist Medication care managers / Medication Technicians Nutritionist / Dietician IADL Assistance Full time activity director is right don't none of these people come here the Director of the atrium is a complete clueless about this building they work they employee to hard and don't pay them enough money the people at the front desk don't no nothing and the bookkeeper don't no nothing but how to ask for money I ask them about the Internet for my mom they told me they don't supply Internet for my mom I'm paying 3000 damn dollars and I can't get no internet for me I love the nurses if I need to no anything ask them because the people in the front don't no nothing don't bring your love ones to this place the cna and pca are the ones who need to be paid more then the people in the office thanks to the pca who took care of my mom I would pay y'all millions of dollars to you y'all but I don't have this place lie get rid of the receptionist and the two women in the office they don't make this place feel good

It took a long time for them to get back to me so if that’s how they potential residents, I can’t even imagine how long it would take for a resident. They couldn’t answer any questions on even things like when the food was served.

My experience started out fine,but went down after awhile. Their issue is being under staffed, and I think the Pca's are not well trained with all aspects of of dealing with dementia and Alz. this means taking the good as well as. The very difficult of all resident situations. They really need to have more compassion in their work. It's not there.

This facility needs some work!

I toured Lafreniere Assisted Living and Memory care, and I told my advisor with A Place for Mom that if you want to be depressed, go there. To give a little background: the property is not well kept, the grass was not cut, and the sign for visitors was covered with overgrown grass, so that was not welcoming. The person who scheduled my appointment was not there to meet me, they left. When I called to tell them I was running a little behind, they didn't tell me that the lady wasn't going to be there. When I got there, there was a random lady who gave me a "tour", and it was subpar. She couldn't give me a copy of their price range. She said, "you can't have this sheet, but I can copy the price sheet for you", which was weird to me. I didn't like it all, some of the employees were on their phones when they were supposed to be helping residents eat. I even called a friend and said my daughter is 13 and when I get to this point and if she mentions this place, please don't put me here. That's how impacted I was by this place.
