We chose Atria Southpoint Walk for my mom because they have this little efficiency apartment, while the other facilities only had a room. It's right outside of my neighborhood too, so that makes it more convenient for us. We've worked with them for a little bit, and we finally moved her and it came out good. We were able to stay all day with her, got her things unpacked, and got her situated. A lot of the people that work there came in and met her just to get to know her a little bit, which was great, because it made her feel more comfortable.
The staff is very nice, very helpful, and they kind of get what it's like for someone to have to move in there. We brought lots of her things and her furniture. She loves books and all kinds of nature stuff, so we brought them in too. Her apartment looks very nice.
My mom is very particular about food, so it's great to have a chef there. She had some of the food yesterday, and she said it's pretty good, a lot better than the rehab center that she was in before. They're bringing the meals in styrofoam containers to the resident's room right now and it would even be better if they could all eat in their dining room.
The facility is very clean and well kept. The flowers outside makes it look pretty. There's one person that was a little harder to work with though, she was the clinician. She didn't help me to fill out the forms of things that I couldn't really answer because I'm not a doctor. That was the only thing that was a little difficult to me; the other ones really helped me.
Because of COVID, they're not able to use their social rooms. These are rooms where you could go in and sit with other residents, chat with them, or watch TV or play games. They still do a lot of activities now, like they have a trolley cart that comes through for New Year's if people wanted cocktails. They also do some fun stuff, like bingo and other games.

The one that really stood out to me was Atria Southpoint Walk. The staff was very nice. The rooms were a nice size with a fully equipped kitchen and had a lot of storage including walk-in closets. What I found that I liked best was that it was called either a village or cottage that has a garage, and the community fee was reasonable. The food was very good, and the menu was good. Anything that you want to do is there. They have transportation to various places, housekeeping with linen washing and personal laundry, and they also have the washer and dryer hook-up in each room, so you don't have go down the hall. When they clean the room every two weeks, I think the help changes your bed and washes your linen. It was just very nice. They don't actually provide the washer and dryer, they have the hookup and you could provide your own washer and dryer. They have a full-size kitchen, plus you get two meals a day, and they have a salad bar. They provide flexible transportation, a doctor that makes house calls, and a front desk staffed 24 hours a day. They didn't have a pool, but they said that they could arrange for water aerobics.

My mother will be a resident of Atria Southpoint Walk in the coming week. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The facility is cheerful, bright, clean, organized, with many activities to choose from. They have cards, movies, day trips, happy hours, and exercise activities.

Atria Southpoint Walk is a very nice place. If you wish to stay there for a month, you don’t have to have a long term contract, and that is fine. I've never had any problems with any of the staff in this place. They have been very helpful and courteous. I was able to eat lunch there, and the food is very nice. They have the usual facilities like exercise.

We went to Atria Southpoint Walk, and my mom likes it a lot. Everyone was very helpful. They were well-organized and thoughtful, and they obviously paid a lot of attention to the experience they want to create for the people that live there. The only thing I think mom didn't like about it was that in their one-bedroom apartment, she would have to leave her bedroom to go to the bathroom; she'd actually have to go out in the hall in the middle of the night. The staff people were great. The people there seemed like they were happy, healthy, and very friendly.

I think a friend recommended Atria for my mother. They have a lot of amenities, and they have a lot to offer. It was very clean, and it looked kind of new. It wasn't very old like some of the other places. This one looks like brand new. It is five years old, but it looks brand new. The space was big. It was like you had your own apartment. The space was larger than most. I saw a lot of activities. The staff was excellent. I didn't meet anyone that wasn't pleasant. The grounds were good, and parking was not a problem.

Atria Southpoint Walk has larger apartment units with more square footage. They have three floors of units. They just had a turnover of staff. The new director came from Florida, and she seems to be exceptionally gracious and generous. She came on the day that the service didn't show up. She changed my parent's bed linen. They are much more generous than the last administration. People complain about the food there. They have a chef, and it is not home cooking. It is not appetizing. They do have an activities calendar, and they have quite a few activities. My parents participated in the bridge club. They had a Broadway play production. They have a book club, men's club, and a wine and cheese club. They have a very good social agenda to keep people active. They also take field trips to the local area. They have transportation to their doctors and to shopping.

I had been to the Atria before, and it's very beautiful. The rooms are very nice, and the people are very friendly and helpful. It's handicap-accessible, and they can wheel his chair into the shower, but it's way too expensive for him at the time. Everything else is so great.
What stood out was probably the elegance of the interior, and the drapes. It's all upscale. Everything is extremely nice quality, and the furniture is beautiful.

I like Atria Southpoint Walk, but at the time of our visit, they were full. I also saw that they have a very small assisted living area. Everything looked nice. Their common areas have very lavish furnishings. They have a fireplace, and it was just very pretty inside. If there's one thing they need to improve, I think they need to add some more rooms to their location.

This is the nicest of the independent and assisted living facilities that we visited, and my father decided pretty quickly that he wanted to live there. The staff are extremely friendly and competent, and go out of their way to help residents get settled and find activities that they would enjoy. The food is fair, as they keep recipes fairly bland. However the Sunday buffet is excellent with many choices for discerning appetites. The apartments are beautiful, and cleaning is provided in the rent on an every other week basis. The place is always clean and fresh smelling and there is always a calm, quiet atmosphere in the lobby and halls. Residents are very independent and sophisticated. Excellent for older parents who need to relocate to be near their children.

It's excellent, the staff was excellent, and the facility is beautiful. It was brand new at the time my mother-in-law went in there. Compare to other places I've seen around Durham, there's just no comparison. It's much, much nicer.

The facilities and amenities were excellent and the staff was second to none. From the dining room to the lobby to the bar area (a favorite of many residents, it seems) all of the public areas have a warm, open feel to them. The apartments themselves come with first rate equipment such as refrigerators, stoves and ovens. The staff is always available and always helpful. Medical staff and maintenance were always pleasant and efficient whenever they were called upon. Most importantly, the residents seem to be a happy group from a wide variety of backgrounds. This made all social gatherings into great times. If there is one complaint, I would say it is the food served in the dining room. Though healthy and plentiful, it often lacks in flavor. It is probably par for the course, but could stand to be improved. All in all, Alta Walk was a wonderful experience for my grandmother and for those of us who visited her.
