Independent Living Reviews for Atria La Jolla

March 24, 2018

By food service

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

the food service is terrible, I waited 20 minutes to place an order and we received the wrong order. I waited 10 min for hot water for tea, I was only served a tea bag. The quality of the food is terrible, chicken caciatore was chicken a few green peppers and fries. The chicken salad was mashed up chicken with no celery or onion added. My mom ordered a chicken sandwich on bagel and was served only an overbrowned bagel. The hallway carpeting smelled of urine. The senior residents are afraid to complain for fear of getting mistreated.

The Patrician was in a convenient location. The lunch was very good. It's a pretty nice, clean, spacious, fully equipped place with good exercise facilities and nearby shopping. They had exercise classes, arts and crafts, field trips, and transportation for appointments and shopping.

The Patrician was by the airport, and the airplanes fly over, which was fun to watch. They had an excellent, little place for you to barbeque. The rooms were excellent. Everything was great there. They had a storage place outside, which my mom loved. The rooms were great and a perfect size and had a kitchen was like a real kitchen. It had a great view. On the bottom floor, she liked the place where she could walk out. What she liked the most was that they change the menu daily, and the food was excellent. The person who helped us was excellent, and a lot of the people would let you go through their apartment. The even offered for us to eat. I liked it, and I think my mom would like it, too.

The Patrician was the best, even though it was older. They did not have a certain time to eat meals. You could come and eat your meals anytime during the day until 7:00. If I wanted to go there at 2:00 for breakfast, they would fix me breakfast. Their activities were outstanding. The person who took us on the tour was tremendous.

The Patrician was nice. This would be like a 3-star hotel, but it is no comparison to where we are at now. The facility was not as nice, and the dining was just average. The fitness facility was totally poor, and we would have had to go out for our fitness program somewhere else.

We saw The Patrician, and it was a much better facility than years ago. It was adjacent to a park, and that was a plus. The rooms were smaller though.

We went to The Patrician. It was very nice, and they were remodeling. One problem I had was with the rooms. The largest room was less than 1,000 square feet, and we were looking for something larger than that. That’s why we didn’t like The Patrician.

The Patrician was a very pleasant place. The food was very good. The places they showed us were very fine, well-lit, well-appointed, and well-furnished. It was altogether a positive experience. The people were very polite, attentive, and forthcoming. On one floor, there was a pool table, I think there was a swimming pool, gym equipment, a library, a computer room, and very nice dining room. If I were to choose and I wanted to live in such place, I would have chosen that.

The Patrician seemed very nice. They had apartments that were fully appointed with kitchen, a garage, and parking. They had a swimming pool outside. I saw the dining room and saw nobody eating there, but the service was very nice.

My mother liked the Patrician, it’s small, and it’s beautiful, but it’s pretty expensive. They have full apartments for people, you can hire people in, and they have lots of activities.

My visit at The Patrician was very average. The guy was very nice and very accommodating. He did give us some cookies to bring home. On the whole, this is average -- not bad, not wonderful -- but I won't go there. They had small rooms. There was nothing exciting. It was a little farther from everything.

This facility is simply amazing. My wife and i visited and stayed at The Patrician recently and it is run like a first class resort. Jeremy and Abraham were our hosts and did a fantastic job showing us the facility and explaining the costs and what actually goes on.They gave us all the information we needed to make a decision regarding our future plans to possibly stay at the facility.The food was most excellent and the happy hour on our last day put the icing on the cake. Based upon what we saw and experienced we would have no hesitation in recommending The Patrician as a great place for anyone (or their parents) to stay in their retirement years. Thank you again Jeremy and Abraham for your kindness and hospitality. Great Job.

This place is lovely, but very expensive at about $3700 a month. It's in a very nice area of San Diego and everything around it is very nice. My mom is a resident at The Patrician for 10 years now. They offer many activities like exercise and yoga. They also take them to outings and provide a bus service to their appointments and back. They also take them to the grocery store and to shopping.

I visited The Patrician because it was in my neighborhood. Plus, I see their van every Sunday as they transport their seniors to the same church where I'm going. In other words, I'm quite familiar with it. This place is very lovely. The atmosphere is just very much to my liking. They have very spacious rooms. I had lunch in their dining room and I thought it was beautiful and elegant. I talked to some of their tenants and asked them how they like it, and they said they love the place. I would absolutely recommend this place to others.

The Patrician is an extremely nice retirement community home. The building is a modern-style work of art that has amazing landscaping and a lot of nearby attractions that are within walking distance, such as the Costa Verde shopping center and Doyle Park. During my visit, my client and I went to Doyle Park and walked on one of the paths that circled back around to the facility - which was adjoined to it. There are gardens next to a pool that the client can grow vegetables and flowers in - which is a definite plus for most clients in a facility like this. My client and I also visited the nearby Aquarium facility that day. There are plenty of nearby attractions to enjoy while staying at The Patrician. The facility itself was more like a nice hotel than a retirement community. The building looked brand new, and the inside had 1 and 2 bedroom apartment rooms for the clients. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone in the San Diego area.
