The employees and residents at Atria La Jolla are very welcoming, kind, and supportive. I have had the privilege of spending a few weeks volunteering at Atria La Jolla under Giselle Trainor, the activities director. From my time there, I was able to see how intentional the staff were to make the residents feel seen and heard. Opportunities for the residents to give feedback were incorporated into the activities and there were plenty of activities, offered through their Engage Life Program, that catered towards different audiences. Atria La Jolla seems to be a great place to find a community!

Giselle Trainor is the heart and soul of activities at Atria Lajolla. Her vibrant energy is contagious and she lifts everyone's spirits, the moment she walks in. I believe Atria is lucky to have her SHE IS A BREATH IF FRESH AIR!!!

This is a great community with a peaceful, friendly and positive clean environment. It is like a resort. I brought my granddaughter to visit and she told me when l’m older l want to live in this place! I want you to know the staff members work so hard with a friendly and respectful attitude. I will also like to express the professionalism of the Atria Director Karina she is also compassionate understanding person.

Atria La Jolla is a great senior living community in the heart of La Jolla. The location is perfect, with lots of things to do nearby. One of the highlights of Atria La Jolla is Karinna, the Executive Director. She is always kind, friendly, and incredibly professional with both residents and staff. Her leadership really sets the tone for the warm and welcoming environment here. All the residents seem happy, and the staff is helpful and polite. It's a warm, welcoming place. I would definitely recommend Atria La Jolla to anyone looking for a safe and friendly home for their loved one.

My now 91 year old mother has been living at Atria La Jolla for almost 5 years now as of 2025. She enjoys the surroundings and the building is always kept clean and neat. There are a lot of ongoing activities inside and they have outings to casinos, the flower fields, shopping malls and more. They have their own bistro with breakfast, lunch and dinner with several time slots for each meal. There are several choices for dinner which the chef has prepared, or if neither are them are of your liking, you can order off the standard menu. Hot and cold sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, salads and more. The staff there is amazing! Everybody calls my mother by name and some of them have little pet name for her. - She really enjoys it - Some of the activities are movies almost every night, card games, bingo, swimming, there is a piano in the atrium and they will have local talent come in and entertain on Friday night, Saturday, or Saturday evening. Or one of the tenants my play and get a group sing along. The maintenance staff is pretty much on button when you need something repaired. You're not going to be able to please everybody all the time which is why you may see a few bad reviews, but all in all, I have to say that Atria La Jolla is top notch! The executive director, Karina, makes everybody feel welcome and makes sure they are happy, comfortable, and she is always looking for new suggestions of activities for the residents. Take a tour and you'll see what I mean.

My mother has been living at Atria La Jolla for four years. From day one with many problems Karinna was right on it and took care of everything for us. I visit my mom every eight weeks and I watch and see all of the amazing things Karinna does for the residents. This is an Executive Director that goes way beyond the call of if duty and you see the love and care that she gives to everyone. She's always there to step up to the bat even if she has to serve residents in the restaurant. I've never seen a Director do as Karinna does. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. If Karinna ever left it would fall apart, she keeps the place immaculate and manages her staff to be on top of everything. I would highly recommend Atria La Jolla to anyone.

My Aunt & I took a tour, provided by Carrie, and it was a really awesome experience. Carrie was extremely welcoming and so friendly. She knew and introduced us to many residents, staff, including maintenance, food service, house keeping and executive staff. The facility is immaculate, well decorated and designed. We were invited to have lunch and let me say it was delicious. The staff were so friendly and efficient. The residents were also very warm and inviting. All and all, this was an amazing experience. Thanks Carrie. Job well done.

…………… We had the pleasure of joining Atria La Jolla for their Spa & Sips event, and we were truly impressed by their hospitality! The staff goes above and beyond to create a warm, engaging environment where seniors feel cared for and energized. It was heartwarming to see residents so enthusiastic, whether enjoying relaxing massages or getting creative with card-making. A special shoutout to Executive Director Karina for taking the time to connect with everyone, and to Cassie for holding everything down seamlessly. Atria La Jolla truly knows how to create meaningful experiences, and we can’t wait to collaborate on more events. This is the place to be!

I stayed at Atria La Jolla for one month this past summer. I needed to get out of the Palm Desert heat (where I am currently living). And, I wanted to see what senior apartment living would be like. At the end of my month, I have to say, it is hard to leave. Since the day I moved in, the residents and staff have been friendly, accommodating, helpful, and encouraging. The food is excellent (I probably gained 5 pounds!), the apartments are roomy and include weekly housekeeping services. There are many activities occurring daily - from cards, to art classes, language classes, exercise options, and presentations. Every week there are field trips by bus to local points of interest, shopping centers, etc. There is high quality entertainment once or twice a week as well. All of my requests were answered in a timely, efficient way. The location is nice and within walking distance of grocery stores, nail salons, and other amenities. I have some decisions to make about when I might make the permanent transition to an apartment community like this one. But, Atria La Jolla would definitely be my first choice. Sandie Young

Thank you Atria for looking after my mom. I moved mom to Atria, La Jolla 2 weeks after my dad died in 2019. It has been a great place for her. I love the staff. Karina, the executive director has been amazing and attentive to my mom and all her needs. She does an excellent job managing the residential facility and always has a smile on her face to go along with her compassionate heart. Cynthia is always a great support for my mom and always so friendly and helpful in attending to her needs. I am always impressed by the helpfulness and the caring of the entire staff. They have created an environment that is very friendly and welcoming for their residents. There are always activities, entertainment, and special events planned, as well as transportation available for Doctor's appointments, shopping trips, and fun outings. I love the level of care and how the staff is always checking up on all their residents. I highly recommend the Atria. It has been a godsend for our family. Dr Gary Bretow

My mom has been living at Atria La Jolla in San Diego for five months. She enjoys the friendly community “ residents and staff. Eating a variety of well-prepared, healthy meals in the restaurant is a delight “ it is a pleasure not to cook! Common areas for residents are welcoming, clean and stair-free. Proximity to Doyle Park for walking is a treat. Atria’s staff are kind and eager to serve residents. I stayed with my mom for one week in August. I found it easy to meet residents and learn about their life experiences. We filed maintenance orders at the front desk for minor repairs in her apartment (change a smoke alarm battery, replace a bathroom sink stopper, replace a valve in a shower faucet). Maintenance technicians were responsive. One Saturday evening, I joined my mom for a concert at Atria by a local singer, Peggy Sue, who specializes in pop music from the 1940s and 1950s. During this performance, my mom sparkled as she told me the songs reminded her of listening to the radio as a young person. My mom, sister and I appreciate email updates to Atria’s residents and families from the executive director, Karinna Topete, about important community events “ celebrations, building maintenance, staff changes and vaccination opportunities. My mom tells me and my sister that moving to Atria La Jolla is a wonderful choice. Victoria Watkins

I have been living here for two months and I love it. I have a 2 bedroom apartment and it is great. I like not cooking anymore and eating each meal with others. I find the residents are friendly and kind. I also appreciate the staff - they are helpful, kind and easy to communicate with. Location is also good - I am able to visit all of the places I like to go. I still have a car but other residents no longer drive. I feel this has been a great decision for me.

My Aunt lives at Atria La Jolla! She enjoys it, she has many friends, and the staff is extremely pleasant and easy to talk to. Residents may participate in a variety of activities, organizations, and groups, and the view from the restaurant on the top level is spectacular. She also tells me that her rent is quite fair and inexpensive, which is why my parents, who both live at [link removed], were encouraged to relocate. She has no concerns about this facility.

My mother-in-law moved into Atria in November of last year after living in a big house alone for 20+ years and has loved it from day one. She enjoys the activities, the social time with other residents, the food and has never looked back at her previous life. Was a great move so that she can really enjoy her golden years. Highly recommend‘!!!!!

The lobby is beautiful and inviting. The activities are terrific. There’s something for everyone. I like bingo the most. You can always find something good to eat. If you don’t like something, you can get something else. The staff is excellent. One bedroom apartments are way too small and the carpeting is awful. Nice kitchen . It’s great that we don’t have to cook. I recommend Atria La Jolla. Let’s get some younger people in here.

After living here for 9 months, I have to admit some recent disappointments. First, continued staffing problems in the dining room have substantially reduced the quality of meal service on weekends. Second, communication from management has lagged--such as fire inspections and alarm testing scheduled for 2 weeks ago that were never completed until this morning when they were done with no warning. Third, maintenance continues to be on a "squeaky-wheel" basis with no evidence of a system to track and complete previously submitted work orders--I still have outstanding requests from move-in. On the positive side, there is a real sense of community here from many friendly residents and helpful staff. We are generally happy to call Atria La Jolla home, but after 2 years of covid and a real hope that things would improve, it's disheartening that some of the organized services here are slipping in quality.

I came to visit Atria-La Jolla last week and was shown around the facility by Catt Babinski who also invited me for lunch. I was so impressed! Catt and everyone I met went out of their way to make me feel welcomed and comfortable. I was delighted with the sample apartments that I saw and further impressed by the excellent amenities, the cleanliness, the food, the menu and the dining room, the pool and the library as well as all the activities available. What started as a "just looking" venture turned out to be "this is where I want to go." I'm still a little way from retirement but feeling very relieved because I now have a plan and a place to look forward to. My thanks to Catt who made it such an excellent visit, thanks again!

Atria La Jolla offers many features that would easily draw any aging independent senior to move inand that is what my parents did approximately 7 years ago. At 87 and 90 years of age, they enjoyed many amenities including restaurant style dining, activities and many opportunities for social interactions with peers. During the 7 years of residence here, this property experienced a lot of turnover, starting as The Patrician, transitioning to Merrill Gardens, and now Atria La Jolla. Throughout and despite these changes of ownership, this has been my parent’s home. When my Mom passed away in 2019 after 73 years of marriage, my father was sad and lost. Atria staff came to the rescue, reaching out to him, engaging him in conversation and helping him to feel comfortable. Little did we know that just 6 months later, my Dad would face another crises - life in the midst of the Covid pandemic. Health and general aging issues play a role as seniors age. As we all know, Covid restrictions placed a new level of challenge for senior care residences. Atria La Jolla staff met these challenges and, in my opinion, far surpassed any expectations. What defines a really great Independent Living Retirement Community? In my opinion, it is the staff. These are the people who are expected to rise to the occasion. Care, courtesy, flexiblity, teamwork, creativity, patience, kindness, knowledge, and willingness to assist in many different ways describes the staff who work at Atria La Jolla. They have gone above and beyond to meet the various levels of needs and abilities for all of their residents and my father has been no exception. There are no words to adequately thank the wonderful Front Desk staff who manage to take care of at least 12 things at once and always do this so kindly. Chef Alberto took on the challenge of in-apartment meal service delivery and his staff, who I know were overworked, always delivered my Dad’s meals with a happy greeting that made him smile. Francisco and his maintenance and housekeeping staff not only managed the needs of the building and individual apartments, but also greeted residents personally despite having many jobs to take care of. Activity staff listened to what residents were interested in and offered activities that met their needs within the guidelines of the county’s restrictions. The teamwork demonstrated by all staff at Atria, under the leadership of Karinna Topete, is genuine! Residents and Staff are safe, healthy and now they are vaccinated and ready to return to the Independent Living Community lifestyle they deserve.

We moved my mother to San Diego a few months ago to have her closer to more family. We quickly found that the Atria fit all of her needs. We have been more than happy and even at age 88 she has easily maneuvered her way around, participates in many of the activities and uses their transportation to get to the close by JCC. She is very happy with the food and service and we are always treated so well there and we visit often. When a small problem arises they address it quickly. The guest speakers, video lectures and visiting musicians have made her stay very enjoyable and she now participates in the offsite trips that are offered. So happy that we found the Atria!

A couple of years ago both my husband and I realized that staying at home was no longer an option for my mother in law and her husband. It was time to move to a safer place. After visiting a number of locations in the greater San Diego area our family found that safe place at The Atria in La Jolla. What a welcoming and caring place that has proved to be! Whether it was us or our children visiting from abroad the Atria always made our family feel welcome. It was wonderful to see how the staff was willing to work with us to make our visits as comfortable as possible. This past November, sadly, we had to say our final goodbye to our father in law. A small service was held in the Bistro. The staff was willing to think and work with us in making the service both dignified and intimate. We greatly appreciated all their assistance and support. We would recommend the Atria to anyone contemplating moving a family member to an independent living facility. Knowing that our Mom is in good hands is a great comfort.
