Atria Buckhead, located in Atlanta's Pine Hills neighborhood, sits surrounded by big, old deciduous trees and has a multi-story building dressed up in Southern style, with Greek columns out front and plenty of charm inside, and the place has been updated for comfort. You'll find private apartments and posh sitting rooms, along with a grand dining room and casual spots to relax or chat with neighbors. The building is pet-friendly and lets folks bring their cats or dogs, even offering help with pet care. People can choose from independent living, assisted living, or memory care here, and the care staff, RNs, and LPNs stay on duty day and night, checking in, helping with daily tasks like bathing and medication, and making sure everyone's safe with emergency call systems, medical alert devices, and security bracelets for those who might wander.
Folks here get meals in several ways, like restaurant-style dining, room service, or special meals for diets like vegan and gluten-free, and the kitchen hosts events like The Chef's Showdown and Master Cooking classes, and the staff aims to make meals both tasty and healthy. There's a full-time activity director running things like art classes, stretching, Tai Chi, yoga, gardening, music, educational lectures, guest chef events, wine tastings, trips out into the community, and even resident-led programs based on suggestions collected through Resident Discovery Surveys, all as part of their Engage Life program. There's also a gym, exercise room, library, media room, living rooms, common kitchens, a movie theater, concierge service, and plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces like patios, courtyards, gardens, and walking trails to enjoy. Atria Buckhead provides scheduled rides, a shuttle, and runs laundry and housekeeping, while their live-in managers help keep the place running smoothly.
For health and care, Atria Buckhead offers on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy, including physical rehab after injuries, access to podiatrists and dentists, medication monitoring, and special programs for folks who need behavioral support or memory care. The memory care wing sits in its own building with special safety features to help seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia avoid confusion or wandering, and behavioral, diabetic, and incontinence care is available here too. Residents can move between care levels as their needs change, and people can get hospice, respite care, and personalized assessments done by Resident Services Directors. The staff also knows how to help non-ambulatory residents with special lifts and standby support, and devotional and religious services are provided both on-site and offsite for those who want them.
People looking for a comfortable place to recover or rest after surgery can use short-term stays or respite programs, and even if someone acts out physically or needs extra supervision to avoid wandering, they can find the right support here. Residents have options for kitchens or kitchenettes in their rooms, walk-in showers, personal thermostats, and WiFi, and the whole property has both common areas and private spaces to suit different needs. The atmosphere is cozy, meals are considered some of the best around, and the staff has a reputation for being friendly and helpful to everyone, not just the folks who live here but also their families and visitors.
