"Atria of La Jolla is for independent living only. On site care for assisted living and memory care is not available, although residents can make arrangements for visitations by such professionals.

"After searching for several weeks into facilities for my mother in law with Alzheimer’s, I finally found the Diamond 💎 I had been looking for that checked every one of my desires for her. It’s not a decision that was taken lightly she has been very special to us so we were rather picky finding a place for her. All I can say from start to actual placement it’s been an extreme pleasure dealing with Ronda, Tatiana and Giovanni as well as the rest of the staff. From the start of the process to the actual placement it was seamless. Today was move in day (we’d been dreading), however the rest of the staff was amazing as well. She started playing ball and doing crafts while we set up her room without hesitation.We couldn’t believe it! I am a person that worked in a professional atmosphere for my career, I have very high expectations and I’m big on reviews so I wouldn’t give a great review if it wasn’t warranted. Thank you to each person involved and extremely caring & friendly staff!" - Cindy… Read more

"Amazing sprawled community for seniors. We lived here with my in laws for a few days and it is very upscale. Very safe because it is guarded 24/7. Very easy pathways for people who are in wheel chairs. Lots of activities and we say a lot of active people throughout our 5 days there. Our in laws have been living there for almost 9 months and have nothing but nice things to say about this community. Everything is new because it has been only open for a little over a year. Could not recommend a place more than this." - Daniel… Read more
