Residents get three daily meals from rotating menus prepared by an in-house chef, with healthy and special diet choices available, and they can enjoy meals either in restaurant-style dining rooms, a lounge with a fireplace and patio, an outdoor dining space, or even up on a rooftop terrace where many like to have coffee with friends and look out over the city. The community welcomes pets and provides Wi-Fi and cable TV throughout, plus offers scheduled and on-demand transportation, so people can take trips to places like Fashion Island Mall and Roger's Gardens or just get to medical appointments easily.
Atria Newport Plaza has many places to socialize or relax, including a residents' lounge, an entertainment area, a card and game room, a library, a courtyard with a water feature, shaded outdoor spots, and a fitness center that also serves folks in memory care, with programs to keep minds and bodies engaged, and there's a calendar full of events like art classes, book clubs, outings to the beach, yoga, casino nights, and happy hours. Monthly housekeeping, laundry, linen services, and apartment maintenance are included in senior pricing along with utilities and a monitored 24-hour emergency call system in every unit-staff respond quickly, and they've got emergency plans in place for safety. Health and supportive services cover medication management, help with bathing, grooming, incontinence care, and daily wellness checks, with 24/7 on-site nurses and specialists trained in dementia and Alzheimer's support, assisted by the Life Guidance approach for memory care residents.
Care at Atria Newport Plaza starts with a personal assessment and then evolves as needs change, so residents can get physical, occupational, and speech therapy right on site through EmpowerMe and the Better Balance Program, which uses special equipment like the Zibrio scale to improve stability and reduce fall risks. There are social programs for every interest, from horticultural activities to video game tournaments, guest speakers, field trips, and the Social Series events, where people get to mingle and try something new together. Residents can also request private transportation or get travel advice from the on-site agency for vacations. The community follows a strict quality review program every year and holds state licenses, while being managed by Leisure Care, a longtime operator in senior living. Rent and care fees are separate and residents pay through an easy online system. Many services come bundled and options exist for short-term stays, like respite care after injury or when a caregiver needs a break. Atria Newport Plaza has a simple goal to support health, happiness, and independence in an environment that feels friendly, active, and safe, for older adults looking for comfort, connection, and plenty of programs all under one roof.
