Atria Encinitas

Brilliant. During Covid, I am seeing how the amazing team at Atria in Encinitas is keeping my mom upbeat and entertained. Window visits have been the next best thing. We do exercises together and even share wine, although its through the glass window, I get it. We need to all be safe. My mother says 'this isn't home, but its the next best thing. I don't get lonely because I am surrounded by people who truly care about me and this feels really good.' Thank you Team Atria for all you do for my family and yours. You are greatly appreciated.

My mother is being showed so much love and compassion during these challenging Covid times. The staff is truly like a second family and you can tell the team there loves their jobs. They keep my mom laughing and happy. Our window visits have been fun, but I cannot wait until I get to hug my mom again. Thank you Atria Encinitas Family. Youre the best!

Atria has been home for my 94 year old mother for one year and I thought it was time to share some of my mother's and my thoughts. My thoughts: This place is a home, a home with a heart. The staff is above and beyond amazing. They handle all the residents needs with grace and compassion. I realize now how important the staff is as they are familiar faces day in and day out. Their interest and smiles are what end up making a happy day. Also the food...this is not just senior comfort food, it is plated thoughtfully, nutritious, but most of all just really good. Pandemic plan: With a building of the most vulnerable population, Atria stepped up and stepped up quickly to make more than sure everyone was safe and healthy. Temperatures are taken 2x a day and many of the group activities are very limited as residents sit out the pandemic in their rooms. Everyday the activities staff make calls on each one with snacks, water, and sometimes costumes and silly dances that make everyone chuckle. They are making a challenging situation entertaining and far from feeling isolated.Now a few quotes from my Mother: 'After one year my favorite part is the staff. Everyone is super nice.' 'The food is very good.' 'I love the court yard to go and sit in the fresh air and sunshine and socialize.' 'While there are some days I am not as happy, mostly I am happy.' 'I realize it is my responsibility to make myself happy and a better person.'So with that said, I would highly recommend Atria as a place for our valuable older loved ones to reside.

This place is only concerned about appearances for future tenants, the care provided by them is sub par at best. The staff have pagers that the residents can ask for help by pressing a button they wear around their neck but the response time is ridiculously long, I visit my person who is there daily so I've observed this many times and have even watched staff having non work related conversations while getting paged by a resident and casually glance at the pager, finish the conversation, and then finally when convenient for them they go check on the client. It's aweful. One of the male staff members asked me for a blow job last year which was such a horrifying experience and over all, this place is a bad place to send your loved one because even if they don't need much assistance now, they get older and eventually will need much more care and this place will not provide the level of care needed. If you hate someone, send them here.

My mother has been at Atria South for over two years now and she absolutely loves it. Mother can not imagine a better place. The staff is attentive and caring, taking the time to find what she needs and what she enjoys. One wait staff, for example, recently asked me if mother has a favorite recipe so that the chef Daniel could prepare it for her. I often see staff helping residents take dogs for a walk or dog sit during meals. Many actives are offered each day and one can be as busy as she wants to be with exercise, sports, art, live entertainment and even monthly complimentary messages. Food is varied, healthy and tastily. This is home for mother and staff is family.
