Independent Living
As Charter Members, my husband and I found this a perfect place for the transition from home ownership to senior group living. The reduction in personal space was not a problem because of the lovely, spacious, multi-functional community space in this newly constructed facility. A well-equipped kitchen, chapel, library, fitness center, game room and theater are shared. Outdoor activities are encouraged with raised garden beds, a multi-hole putting green, and fenced exercise area for dogs. Also noteworthy is the skilled management, the activity coordinator; housekeepers; bus driver; a gifted maintenance man; and on-site physical, speech and occupational therapists. We are delighted daily by the interesting and accomplished residents who share our new home and excellent meals! To newcomers I offer a cautionary note--you might gain weight. We can't imagine a more pleasing place to live in our senior years. Y'all come!
I would recommend you check the community out to see if it would be a good fit for your loved one. This is a new community and it is clean. The staff are very friendly and nice. The independent living side has several activities available for the residents to participate in, if they want to. The staff communication with the family is pretty good, and they are responsive to our questions and concerns.
Atria Oakridge has been a very good community, it is very clean and this is the friendliest group of staff members we have encountered. The meals and dining service is very good and they have more activities during the week that we could keep up with. Even with is being on the higher side, we do think the value is pretty good and we would recommend Atria Oakridge to other families.
