Atria Walnut Creek operates as an assisted-living community with an emphasis on clinical oversight that accommodates residents with a wide range of medical needs. Care teams can monitor residents who are awake throughout the night, oversee special diets, and manage complex diabetic regimens that include oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale protocols. Moderate dementia is supported, and on-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments.

Registered and licensed nurses are on staff, and a nurse is on call at all hours. All employees pass background checks, and an awake night shift works alongside 24-hour security personnel, a wander-guard system, and personal emergency response devices that alert staff instantly. Full assistance is available with bathing, dressing, and toileting, while eating support is provided for residents who need some physical help. Mobility aid covers walkers, wheelchairs, standby supervision, and one-person transfers, and an activity director coordinates daily programs.

Apartments vary in layout and may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate the space. Not every unit contains every feature, so it is best to confirm availability when touring.

Dining offers three approaches: a rotating set menu, made-to-order selections, and snacks available throughout the day. Independent Living residents on campus can receive medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and laundry services as separate packages.

Amenities include resident parking, an exercise room, movie room, wellness center, communal gardens, balconies or patios, outdoor dining space, a cocktail lounge, and concierge service. Residents have access to a library, cognitive learning center, barber and beauty shop, massage therapy, volunteer programs, an Alzheimer’s and dementia support group, on-site religious services, private dining for special occasions, and Internet access. Escort and transfer assistance is available for outings, and scheduled transportation connects to local destinations or nearby public transit. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
