I visited this community and very impress with what the community has to offer. The bistro have fresh fruits, pastries, coffee machine that serves hot cocoa, cappuccino, latte, coffee, mocha, Etc. They even have pastries 24/7. Residents are welcome to get juices, sodas, sandwiches at the bistro for free. I was greeted by friendly staff and even if I didn’t have an appointment, the Executive Director gave me a tour immediately. She offered for me to stay for lunch and I ordered cheeseburger. It was probably the best burger I ever had in Newport Beach. She introduced me to residents and they were happy and vibrant. They said they went to pier walk early in the morning and it was perfect. I asked about doctor’s appointment and they said that their activities director assist residents with scheduling transportation. I asked about care and I was told that they have 24/7 carestaff. The community is clean, the 1 bedroom is gorgeous. They have memory care but I’m not interested since there is no need. I’m looking for a place for my mother in law and I must say I found the perfect place. The residents are happy, staff are friendly and welcoming, food is good and community is clean.
This community is beautiful although the parking is a bit challenging.

My mother has lived at the Plaza for five years. Recently the facility changed management companies and has gone through many changes since the takeover. Many of the long time employees have left and the new company, Atria, is struggling to hire workers. The dining room is getting better service, but it wasn't unusual to wait up to an hour to be served. The facility has a bus to take residents on outings, but currently they have no bus driver. The residents are pretty much restricted to staying at the facility unless they get a driver and bus from another facility, which they do a couple times a week. As Mom put it, "it's pretty much like being in prison". The activities director seems overwhelmed by the new position and often schedules an activity, but ends up just putting out a few games for residents to play on their own. They do have entertainment at least once a week, but were used to more activities and outings. The three times weekly outings to the pier to walk have been cut to two, one of which is on Saturday when the pier area is very busy with bikers and skaters and unsafe for the elderly with walkers. Mom was a regular during the week, but is afraid to go on Saturday. The weekly shopping trips to buy needed essential living supplies has been discontinued. Sometimes a last minute shopping trip is arranged if they have a driver that can take the residents in a car, but unless you are in the right place at the right time, you don't know these trips are taking place. I'm now getting frequent calls to bring toilet paper and toothpaste. For the amount the residents are paying for assisted living services, the service is not being provided. Mom has many friends at the Plaza so doesn't want to move. The thought of moving is overwhelming to her, so she is prepared to make the best of the situation. She noticed there are lots of empty apartments, so it is obvious that people are moving.

Kristine, thanks for taking the time to share feedback - it sounds like some of your expectations aren't being met in this transition, and I'm sorry to hear that. Can you please send Atria Customer Service an email with your current contact information? From there, I can share your message with those who are in a position to address the matter directly. -Michelle at Atria

Newport Beach Plaza was a bit expensive. It didn’t have a lot of outdoor space; there was a roof garden. It was in a more dense area like it was kind of surrounded by apartments and condo complexes. The rooms were nice, and they did have nice facilities. It was more compartmentalized. There was a separate little library room, and then there was a theater room and a cute café. But it was more separate rooms than a big open plan. It had a nice little courtyard, and the people were very friendly.

My parents have been living in Newport Beach Plaza for a week. There seemed to be enough activities, there's a work-out room for a physical therapist to come in, there's a 12-hour dining which was crucial, and they found a 2-bedroom, 3- bath, which was unusual. They both got what they wanted.

My mom and dad have lived at Newport Beach Plaza for 5years. I looked very hard to find the perfect place for them. Newport Beach Plaza is a family. They truly care for the residents and their needs. There are lots of activities to keep them healthy and strong. It’s clean, loving, fun, and active community!

I thought Newport Beach was great, and I really liked it a lot. I think my parents would have like it too, but it was a little more money than what they want right now. The apartments were very nice, clean, and updated. They were good. They have a brand-new gym, and that was lovely. I thought the restaurant was great, and this was different than what my parents have now.
They have a chef on staff, you actually order from the menu every day, and that was pretty cool.
Fran, the name of the staff who assisted us, was fantastic; and most of the staff was really nice. Everybody seems really friendly, and really happy too. However, they were going to be redoing a couple of things older this year.

Newport Beach Plaza was fantastic. It had a lot of amenities. The rooms were really nice. They had something called PrimeFit where someone on staff could work with you in terms of your flexibility, dexterity, and fitness. They had a nice gym and different types of programs to help you if you have balance problems and things to help with your agility. The food that we sampled was great. They had nicely set up deluxe studios. You'd have ample space for your bed and a sofa, and there was a little kitchenette area and walk-in closets. If you wanted to go with a smaller studio, they were also nicely appointed and of a nice size. They had a lot of activities there. I could consider this place.

Newport Beach Plaza was nice, but I didn't like the location. It was in an industrial area instead of like in a community. I didn't like that about it, but the staff was very friendly. Security seemed fine too. The units were very small. It seemed more like it was catered to individual. When I was there, they were having activities. It seemed like the people really enjoyed what was going on, and there was good participation. I saw people having physical therapy,and I also saw where somebody was singing and playing the piano. There were a lot of residents participating in that too.

The rooms at Newport Beach Plaza were exceptional in design with big windows and lots of light. The people working there were exceptionally friendly, and they've been there a long time. They had a good exercise room and a trainer five days a week.

I moved my mother into Newport Beach Plaza a little over a year ago. The Best decision i have ever made!!!!
She loves her new home and has made many new friends.
The staff are unbelievable!! The professionalism and attitude
of everyone from housekeeping to the director is outstanding.
The dining room is tasteful with linen tablecloths & napkins and the food is excellent.
There are numerous activities to choose from daily including ice cream socials and outings.
I can't say enough wonderful things about Newport Beach Plaza!!!
The best review I can offer is that I always recommend the Plaza to my friends who are looking for a loving, caring environment for their loved ones.

My husband resided at Newport Beach Plaza for two years, with a neurological wasting disease, so I am definitely qualified to review this facility. I interviewed several other places, and I was extremely pleased with my choice of Newport Beach Plaza. While he was there, I had daily contact with all the residents and employees. I can say only the utmost favorable comments about all aspects of this facility. From the receptionists to the office staff, to the nursing and wellness staff, to management, and most definitely including the restaurant staff, everyone is caring, friendly, and involved. There are endless amounts of activities for those who want to join in, and incredibly the restaurant is as good if not better than most I've frequented in Newport Beach. There would be no other facility that I would ever consider than Newport Beach Plaza.

Atria Newport Plaza looked old, and it was next door to a dumpy apartment complex. I found the apartments a lot smaller. There were a lot of studios, but I wanted a one-bedroom. The staff was superb; they went out of their way for everything. It was clean, but older.

Newport Beach Plaza was great. The people were friendly, and they seemed to really enjoy living there. They just recently redid the place and it was beautiful. I met a couple of their staff members. The dining setup that they have was quite nice, and the whole place was clean.

Newport Beach Plaza was one that I liked. I liked the way it was set up, that it had an active community, the nicely appointed, spacious rooms. They had the 400 or 450 sq. ft. room as well as the 325 or 350 sq. ft. rooms, and both had a balcony. The dining room was nice and the food that we sampled was very delicious. The one- and two-bedrooms were kind of pricey, but the deluxe studio was pretty affordable and spacious. I also liked the fact that they had a gym and a fitness program, which they call Prime Fit, which included someone who works with you. They had a card room, activity rooms, and dining areas split up so you have the large area and smaller areas. They also had entertainment lounges for family and Nintendo Wii. It had a bistro room, too. I liked its location too. It's a three-story building, but the location made it really convenient to the malls and the beach.

Newport Beach Plaza was very nice but it's lacking in facilities. They don't have a stove in the room. It's not a complete kitchen and I know from my mother, she wanted a complete kitchen regardless of the fact that there is a meal. She wanted to be able to have the options so that made the difference. They just had a microwave but again, they didn't have a pool, they didn't have a hot tub. They didn't have those types of facilities. If you need Alzheimer's, you have to move to a different facility. The staff seemed very nice.
