It's quiet- it's clean, well maintained. Resort level landscaping. We enjoy walking this oasis and because it's 55+ there are benches you can stop and take a break if needed. Maybe you like to zip around this place like your pants are on fire ? You can do that too! I'll watch you zing by from my stop by the Bocci Ball, Horseshoes, Putting holes, and BBQs. Don't forget the 60' pool to swim and cabanas! This is an INDEPENDENT village (not a skilled care facility) with so many amenities! Salt water HEATED pool ? Check. Hot tubs always set on the right temp? Check. Movies? Art classes? Zumba? Water aerobics? Check. Check. Check. Check. Do you like holiday gatherings? Yep! Those too are included. So do as much, or as little interacting to your choosing. Randee (leasing) and Shanelle (activities director) and David (maintenance manager) are so welcoming and really take care of you. They work hard to make your new home a place you will want to stay. After all that said, we are on the young side of the 55+ age. We are realistic- and no place is absolutely perfect, but our little roomy casita is home; Not just a stop along the way. We looked for close to a year, almost bought a house twice, and explored ample beach communities, inland areas and desert towns. Casa Aldea is close to everything we wanted. And a 10-15 minute drive to LaJolla Cove ?? Sunset Cliffs, Mission Beach?? Sea World, Belmont Park, Fiesta Island?? Torrey Pines, Scripps Aquarium, The Gliderport? How about medical care? UCSD campus, offices and hospitals. One of the best places in San Diego ! It's hidden gem.

I am so glad not to have ever fully moved into Atria. I signed up and was waiting for a few weeks…read morefor my furniture to arrive, so I went into my unit to prepare it. There were sugar and food crumbs in the kitchen cabinets, the microwave vents and stove were filthy with grease, there were ants in one of the toilets and the other one intermittently and randomly ran. And this was supposed to be move-in ready. I realized that I was feeling sick every time I stayed more than half an hour in the apartment, even with the sliding door open. Walking down the main hallway past the dining room, there was usually liquid or food on the floor. The garbage and recycling bins had food spilling down the front. It was just a very unclean place altogether. Then after I decided not to stay and went elsewhere, paying the required 30 days notice rent, a full year went by and then I got a collection notice in the mail for $186.00. This was without EVER hearing a peep from Atria until then. It took about five phone calls for them to actually tell me what the charge was for (one extra day apparently as I gave notice on New Year's). Karinna was kind and clearly cared about the welfare of the residents, but in every other way my experience was pretty horrifying.

We call for the manager and asst. manager but they're always unavailable. I hope someone would take a look at this place and reassess what's need to be change, Senior living needs a lot of patience and a system to run the this place better, most of the staff talks to residents and guests very entitled.

In our case, we immediately were transfixed by it as soon as we exited my Benz to view these incredibly perfect roses. What a magnificent sight to behold and scents to inhale! Paths and walkways, all lined with gorgeous roses. The roses are a wonderful perk for each resident, who receives a rose bush as a gift. For some, it appears they have more than one...labeled with their name(s) on them. The practice of each resident receiving a rose bush began when a lady who loved roses, and was an avid gardener, thought it would be a nice idea, so she turned the wheels to set the practice in place. How cool is that!?! I learned of this from some of the residents, who are very active outside with their walkers. Many came outside on this beautiful day to enjoy it, get some exercise, and chat with people such as the likes of us along the way. This is a retirement community. Everyone we talked to was so nice. They were happy and appeared to be very well taken care of. They all spoke of how much they love where they live. I've taken pics of some of the glorious standouts, but I highly suggest you view this beauty firsthand during this particular time in the Spring. I can't speak for the inside of the residences themselves, as the only thing I learned was what I gleaned from their website listed here. The video shows a glorious ocean-view environment for the very lucky residents. Apparently, a 1 bedroom, 1-1/2 bath with 753 square feet rents for $7,325.00 per month. "This is the place", they say. If you are an aging billionaire living in La Jolla, California. Enjoy the roses I've snapped for you and all the other beautiful flowers at Casa de Manana. It is truly a marvel.
