Atria Valley Manor sits on five landscaped acres in Tucson's Harlan Heights neighborhood, with mountain views and sunny weather most of the year, so you'll find plenty of places to walk, sit, or watch the birds in the courtyard or rose garden, and if you want to get out, you can walk to nearby shops and restaurants or take the scheduled local transportation to parks, golf courses, or your doctor's appointments. The community keeps a family-like atmosphere, and many residents mention the friendly staff who help out with daily needs, housekeeping, and laundry, while others appreciate the nurses on staff, nurses and doctors on call, and the option for homecare onsite, which means there's support for medical needs, podiatry, dentistry, and even specialists in speech, occupational, and physical therapy. There are independent living apartments-studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom-with full kitchens or kitchenettes, modern appliances, private patios, and walk-in showers, and if someone's needs change, there's aging in place, respite care, hospice services, skilled nursing, assisted living, and care for Alzheimer's or dementia, with security measures to help reduce confusion and keep people safe.
Meals get prepared by a chef and served in the dining room, bistro, or café, with snacks and drinks available around the clock, and those with special diets or nutrition needs often get the help they ask for. No matter your hobbies, each day has something scheduled-over 200 activities monthly, from daily exercise, group walks, and outings to classes, arts and crafts, billiards, book swaps, casino nights, live performances, and worship services. The Engage Life® events program encourages learning, staying active, and socializing, and there's a full-time events director making sure calendars stay full for those who want to join in. There are indoor and outdoor common spaces, a business center, beauty and barber shop, cards and craft rooms, and a library, plus Wi-Fi throughout and resident parking outside, for those who still like to drive. Pets are allowed, and smoking's not permitted indoors. There's an emergency call system in every home, and trained staff available 24 hours a day, so you're never far from help. Residents say the community's warm and inviting, showing off pueblo-style buildings, mountain views, and a setting that lets you enjoy retirement your own way, with help and plenty to do when you want.
