When my mother wanted more help but still wanted to live independently, we moved her from her home to Atria San Juan Capistrano. It is a lovely facility filled with friendly staff and lots of activities. The food is excellent. She has made a lot of friends. Plays cards, BINGO and many other daily activities.…

Atria San Juan Assisted Living/Memory Care is a very special place that has a warm atmosphere from the moment you walk into the lobby. Brenda, Diane and Mariel who man the front desk are friendly and helpful in midst of challenging multi-tasking, eg greeting visitors/guests, answering phones, in person requests, etc. The staff members (both seen & unseen) working for the Atria residents, i.e. nurses, aides, cleaning, kitchen/dining, maintenance, etc. are very hardworking and caring. The staff - at all levels - are THE BEST!!!

We recently moved our mother into the Memory Care facility at Atria San Juan. We visited about 8 places in all and this was the best fit for us. From the first visit when we met Community Sales Director, Christy Farris, she was a joy to work with! She was friendly, positive, and very helpful. I had many questions while visiting, and after, which Christy was more than able to answer, or research and get back to me with an answer. Once our decision was made for Atria, Christy was able to help us with move-in arrangements. Our mother is content and happy at Atria and Christy continues to be a friendly face and a source of information and encouragement! The Memory Care Director, Wally, is fantastic! She is very involved with the residents.

When my mother wanted more help but still wanted to live independently, we moved her from her home to Atria San Juan Capistrano. It is a lovely facility filled with friendly staff and lots of activities. The food is excellent. She has made a lot of friends. Plays cards, BINGO and many other daily activities. The staff keeps on eye on everyone and I think she is very safe. She recently had a heart attack and needs more care now and they have the staff to help her so she doesn’t have to move. I have had a lot of experience with senior living facilities since my father passed from Alzheimer’s 5 years ago. Atria San Juan gets a 10 out of 10 as far as I am concerned.

I found this place for my parents in February 2025 after reading positive reviews posted in 2024. The facility is very clean. The staff is very professional and friendly. I occasionally dine with them in the Atria dining room; the food is excellent. I just had to increase the level of care and make a room change for my parents. Atria made the transition very simple. I highly recommend Atria San Juan.

Atria has been great for my mom. Her diagnosis came on pretty quick and when she started wandering at night we knew we need to find her somewhere where she could get the care she needed! Luckily Atria San Juan had an opening. The staff is awesome and mom loves her room and the food. I would totally recommend for any others looking for memory care.
