Atria La Jolla – Reviews
September 2023
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.

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.

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 visited Atria La Jolla for my parents and was impressed by how comfortable the community feels and how friendly the residents and staff were. I will be encouraging them to choose this community based on the location, the awesome activities calendar, and the variety in the menu choices.

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 in…and 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 parents 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 Dads 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 countys 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.

My mother, Alicia H. has lived at Atria for many years now, her experience has been great! The staff are dedicated and caring and know the residents by their first name.The environment is always clean and they have many interesting activities, lectures and programs. The food is tasty and the grounds are very well maintained. There is also an onsite fitness center and separate from that they group fitness classes for all levels and abilities. There is a true sense of community among the residents and my mother has made wonderful, lasting friendships. It is such a comfort to know my mom is safe, happy and watched over by the caring staff at Atria!

I moved my grandparents to the Atria La Jolla here from Florida about two weeks before everything started slowly shutting down for COVID-19, so they got to experience a bit of the normal Atria life which they thoroughly enjoyed. But, what theyve experienced since things shut down has been even more telling about the staff at the Atria La Jolla. Its a difficult time for everyone right now and with the state mandated rules for senior facilities, my grandparents have had to mostly keep to their apartment for weeks now. During that time, the staff has done quite literally everything they could to keep them comfortable. They have been coordinating meal delivery to each and every resident along with additional surprises like theme carts with margaritas, soft pretzels, and other kinds of things to keep the residents engaged. They have gone so far above and beyond to try and make everyone comfortable in a very uncomfortable time and me and my grandparents are so very grateful. We look forward to being able to get back to some sort of normal at some point, but we are very happy that we chose the Atria La Jolla for them.

My parents have stayed at the Atria for a month for the last two years. Wonderful all the way around. They went out of their way to make them feel welcomed and at home. The food was excellent. Their kindness and patience was unmatched. We would recommend the Atria to anyone looking for a higher end, independent living community.
