This community is a little outdated. With covid there are a lot of activities that they cant do right now. The big things that the residents look to they cant really do right now. Also the food isn't that great at this time due to staffing issues.

Atria Oakridge has done an incredible job keeping their staff team and residents safe, anytime someone comes or goes they have to sign in/out and everyone's temperatures get taken. Our loved one seems to enjoy the food, the recently was a little transition that took place, but the food is getting much better. They do have a wide variety of activities for the residents to participate in. They have a bus service that takes them to the grocery store, their appointments, and out to lunch dates now that the restaurants have opened back up.

Food is inedible. No cleaning service for unit. Management is unresponsive. Go elsewhere

We chose Atria Oakridge because she just loved it from the first time that she walked in here. it is hard to judge because things are limited such as activities due to covid and she hasn't been able to socialize like normal. All of the staff here have been amazing and the value for the money is top notch compared to where she was before. They have just changed management so we are hoping things stay how they are. I would absolutely recommend to others looking.

From what I could see the facility looked to be very nice. The staff were super accommodating in getting us in especially during the pandemic. They followed up well and kept in touch to see if our needs had changed at all.

My loved one likes the community, since COVID it has caused problems with perception with my loved one. The other issue my loved one has with the community is that they are veterinarian with not many selections available. The community has been able to keep a safe environment, since they have not had any cases of COVID. We were able to take my loved one out of the community, to a park to socialize. My loved one was very outgoing to be friendly to the residents. There are some residents that have been friendly back. I would a few friends in the community.

We chose Atria because the feeling here. I talked to the residents and had lunch in the dining room and it felt very welcoming compared to the many other places that we toured. The room sizes were larger than average. My mom had more room here than the previous places she had lived. The food was really good, my mom liked it a lot and always commented on how good it was. They had a lot of variety. My favorite part about this community was the staff. I would recommend as long as you read the fine print.

We moved my mom to Atria Oakridge in September 2016. She could no longer live by herself and while she didn't want to leave her home state and her church family and friends she knew she needed to be closer to us. For the first couple of months Mom really missed her church and her friends from home (and still does) but the friendliness of the Atria staff and the other residents soon won her over! She was very impressed with how quickly everyone learned and greeted her by name and being very social loves all the activities that the Atria provides on a daily basis. Some of her favorite activities are when [name removed] takes her and the other residents to Trader Joes and when Refuge Church comes in and does a monthly hymn sing! If you ever visit the Atria, Mom would be to first to show you her apartment with screened in porch and would tell you exactly what her favorite meals are as well as dessert- cappuccino crunch ice cream! [Name removed] and all the staff are to be commended for making such a welcoming, caring place for seniors to live! We feel blessed to have Mom near by in such a nice, safe place!

Best in Raleigh. My Mom passed almost two years ago and my Dad just could not manage without her in Florida. We looked at several but kept going back to Atria. The move was emotional and he fought it but after a few months, making new friends, adjusting to cooler temperatures here in Raleigh, realizing the food is delicious and prepared by profession chefs (also balanced and options available for diet restrictions), free transportion, endless established activities and outgoings (including a golf group) and the incredible staff he's quite pleased, as am I. They also accept pets and my Dad has a small dog. We looked at 7 or 8 places - Atria was the second community we visited and we found we compared everything to Atria. Atria is independent living, but partners with health care providers if additional care is needed. They also partner with Falls River Pharmacy for deliveries, Doctors Making Housecalls for onsite doctor appointments, and have onsite - PT and OT. Very nice grounds for walking, private garden areas for vegitable growing, beautiful interior décor. All in all, exceptional.

Great establishment!

Excellent tour today with [name removed] at Atria Oakridge. The apartments were nice and washer/dryer hook up was a nice touch. I had lunch with residents there and was able to ask questions. The staff were very nice and residents were happy overall. Great place to consider.

My wife and I cannot be more grateful for making our decision to move here 2.5 years ago. [name removed] and her staff has made this facility and the residents to all feel like one big family.

I was amazed at the extent of thought and care that the community displayed during hurricane Florence! The staff is truly tremendous, keep up the good work!

Atria Oakridge is second to none. The awesome work they do for the community is world class. The tools and resources they utilize to engage their residents is warming. Don't get me started on staff, like [name removed], who has always gone above and beyond to provide world class service. She is definitely a positive face to the community and the Atria family. Thank you all for what you do, the example you continue to set and the lives you positively impact.

Unfortunately, my mother's health deteriorated very rapidly out-of-the-blue just after I moved her in and I had to move her to a skilled nursing facility so she did not get to enjoy anything that Atria Oakridge had to offer. However, I can tell you that in dealing with the administration and staff there I found it to be an incredibly wonderful place. The apartments were beyond anything I'd seen when I was renting--quiet as could be, thick walls, roomy, safe, excellent appliances. The grounds are beautiful. The activity rooms were great, food very good (though the service was a bit slow). My Mom would've loved it. The only fault I found was the company onsite used for assisted care. It was not managed well and they need to find another agency. Otherwise, I wish I had the money to live there! It was SO nice and a very good value. I would not have found it without the help of A Place For Mom.

The community is outstanding. The staff is always helpful. We like that the community. is clean and maintained. We have had meals together and the variety is very good. I like knowing that he is starting to participate with the other residents in the activities that are available. I would recommend this community for the care and the good value that is available to other families for the care of a loved one

My 90 year year young father has been a resident of Atria Oakridge for over 4 years. He truly likes and enjoys living there. He enjoys all the activities, and the friends he has come to make while living there. We recently had a 90th Birthday party for him on-site and the staff was extremely helpful and the food was good and plentiful. It gives us great peace of mind that he is happy and treated well.

New management has made a huge effort to invite family and friends to join in activities in the past six months. These efforts are appreciated by all, with the recent Memorial Day Cookout being a standout event!

The people here are great! Everyone is so friendly and helpful and it just like one large family. Keep very busy with all the good activities and love the concerts we have. Overall I think we are in the best senior living place in Raleigh.

Regrettably Atria continues to struggle with food service, overall management and most importantly resident safety. My mom has lived there for a number of years and the staff turnover since the transition to Atria has been significant. Three Directors in less than two years speaks to Atria's inability to effectively manage this facility. Rents continue to skyrocket with a just announced 8% increase. Atria excels at Marketing. The facility does indeed look great. They keep the facility clean and bright. Unfortunately the day to day living experience is not commensurate with the initial appearance. Couple this with annual monthly rent increases in the $400-$500 dollar range and I would strongly encourage folks to look carefully and most importantly to look elsewhere.
