Atria Walnut Creek is a senior living community that has options for independent living, assisted living, and memory care, with special attention given to residents who have dementia or Alzheimer's, and the Life Guidance memory care neighborhood sits in its own secured area, designed specifically to support those needs. Residents have access to apartments with walk-in showers, balconies, kitchens, and services like linen, housekeeping, and maintenance, and the building's been renovated with patios, an updated entrance, and landscaped walking paths winding past a koi pond, with plenty of spots for outdoor dining or sitting. The staff's known for being friendly and present 24 hours, including onsite nurses, RNs, LPNs, and awake overnight staff; they can help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication management, plus care for people with incontinence, diabetes, behavioral problems, physical aggression, or those who are prone to wandering, with technology like bracelets and secure entryways to keep everyone safe and supported.
The community lets residents bring cats or dogs if they meet size and temperament guidelines, and offers pet care services for those who need help. There are both outdoor and indoor spaces to gather, relax, and socialize; there's a game room, library, movie theater, and common areas, so there's usually something to do or a quiet place to sit, and there's also a beautician onsite. The Engage Life events program fills the calendar with activities like art classes, gardening clubs, brain fitness exercises, outings, happy hours, game nights, and dance events, as well as educational talks, devotional services both onsite and offsite, and trips planned by a full-time activity director. They provide meal services three times a day with guest meals, restaurant-style dining, and room service, and chefs cater to special diets-vegetarian, vegan, low-sodium, low-sugar-using fresh ingredients, and multiple multicultural options.
Transportation is included, with free rides for errands or appointments and parking for residents who drive, and visiting dentists and podiatrists help meet healthcare needs without leaving the community. Assisted living services step in as needs change, so residents can stay as their care level goes up, with hospice and respite care for those who need more support for a short or long stretch. Services include medication management, reminders for the restroom, insulin injections, and blood sugar checks; trained Med Techs and Memory Care Activity Specialists are part of the team. People who smoke have designated outdoor areas for comfort and safety. The community has earned recognition like the Best of Senior Living award, and management works on developing staff and rewarding good work.
Overall, Atria Walnut Creek offers different types of living all under one roof, supporting memory care, independent adults, and those who want discreet help with daily activities, with the focus always on safety, connection, and a chance to enjoy each day in a suitable environment.
