Atria Encinitas

My mother has been at Atria South for almost two years and she loves it. Mom feels as if the Atria staff are family. The staff go out of their way to meet the needs of its residents, treating each with respect and concern. Everyone is upbeat, enthusiastic and positive offering lots of activities so that no one is ever bored or lonely. In addition to daily well rounded activities including exercise and stretching, cognitive and athletic games, shopping excursions, weekly bus rides, daily movie etc, there are special events. Every Friday is Happy Hour with live entertainment (and wine and cheese of course), and monthly special events which could include a talent show, karaōke, casino night, Flamingo dancers, barbecue and holiday celebrations. The dining hall has healthy, and tasty meals, with many choices both on and off the menu. Mom’s favorite meals are always available and the chef has even solicited residents’ recipes to recreate desired dishes. I so appreciate Atria because they take of my mother and she loves it there. I know she is safe, happy and entertained. A big thank you to the staff who make her resident her home.

We have a relative here at Atria in Encinitas as well. Yes, I agree with Playa C., Laura and Bill are outstanding in every way. Unfortunately Bill moved on, we miss him a lot.
Tthe staff make the residents feel very welcome.
The kitchen is very good. The residents are friendly and socialize with each other. There is a court yard with benches, gardens, grass areas and palm trees which is a great place to sit in the sun, rest, socialize or walk your pet.
From our own experience here, I like to suggest to lock up all personal items.
There are two buildings, which are both quite different from each other. Our relative chose the south building and likes it there a lot.

We just got Grandma settled into Atria Encinitas. What a beautiful place full of really kind and caring staff and fun residents. The staff really goes out of their way to make you feel welcome and involved in your loved one’s care. Resident Ambassadors show the new residents the ropes and help them integrate.
Thank you to all the staff — I know I will miss someone — but special thanks to Bill, Laura, and Imee for getting us signed up (Imee your food is a terrific selling point and liable to make Grandma gain a few pounds!), Stephanie for overseeing grandma’s care, and Rosa for being a cheerful monitor of all the activity at the front desk.
While we have family nearby to visit Grandma on regular basis, I returned to Northern California confident that Grandma will be happy and treated with respect at Atria Encinitas. Extra great that it doesn’t cost a small fortune!
