Atria Park of Pacific Palisades sits along Sunset Boulevard in a three-story building that looks like an Italian villa, with big arched windows, tan walls, and a red tile roof, and you'll see a rooftop terrace where residents can sit outside and look at the ocean and mountains while they have their meals or just visit. The place is set up for older adults who want independent living, assisted living, or memory care, so if someone needs a little bit of help with things like bathing, grooming, dressing, or keeping track of medicines, trained staff can do that quietly, day or night, and the wellness team checks in every month to help keep track of health. The community has private and companion apartments in different sizes, ranging from studios to two-bedroom floor plans, and you'll find kitchens or kitchenettes, walk-in showers, emergency call systems, and private bathrooms in the units, plus there's Wi-Fi and everything's easy to get around, even for folks with walkers or wheelchairs, and it's pet-friendly if you have a small animal.
There are gardens that are well kept and a patio with seats and plants, plus a rooftop spot to enjoy the sun, and inside there's a dining room with a fireplace, flowers, and art, a game room for things like backgammon and cards, and a bistro open day and night so if someone gets hungry they're never stuck. Residents get three meals a day from chefs who plan healthy food, housekeeping, laundry, apartment maintenance, and help with transportation to places like banks, stores, local churches, or outings to places such as the Palisades Library or the Pierson Playhouse. There's a full-service salon and barber for haircuts, a fitness program, and group activities like movies, lectures, worship, arts and crafts, dance nights, and happy hours, all set in a place where you can talk with friends or just spend some time alone if that's what you want.
For people with memory issues, the Life Guidance memory care neighborhood is set up to offer extra security and structured days to help residents stay safe, lower confusion, and get the personal support they need from staff trained in helping people with Alzheimer's or dementia. The emergency call system works in every unit so help comes quickly if needed, and the staff is there around the clock. The community supports independent folks as well as those who need more care, and the care plans are adjusted so that each person gets support that fits what they need for both body and mind, with hospice care available too if needed down the road, all part of a private-pay setup.
Atria Park of Pacific Palisades is close enough to walk to shops and restaurants, plus it gives easy access to medical services like UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center. Residents can bring pets if they meet size rules, and the whole place is made to help people live as well as they can, whether they want to join the crowd or have some quiet time in their apartment with views of the garden or the city.
