We moved my mother-in-law to Atria a year and a half ago. She was previously living alone and losing weight. With access to three home-cooked meals a day, she quickly regained her lost weight. She enjoyed the social connections and new friendships she made at Atria. The caring staff made her feel like part of a big family where everyone watches out for each other. Security is a top priority at Atria, ensuring peace of mind for residents and their families. We always looked forward to the festive events like the annual Christmas celebration, movie nights, live music, and happy hours. Atria has truly enriched my mother-in-law's life, and we are grateful to have found such a wonderful place for her care."

My family’s experience with the Atria at Southpoint, and especially with rental director Stacy Ratner, has been nothing but a pleasure. I began communicating with Stacy months before my mother decided to move to North Carolina from out of state. Stacy gave me a comprehensive tour of the community and then kept me apprised thereafter of openings that were becoming available. She worked diligently with my family to secure an apartment that would meet my mom‘s needs, and then was super helpful in guiding her through the leasing and move experience. The community itself is warm and welcoming, and my mom is looking forward to relocating soon. Five stars!
