Atria Del Sol sits in Mission Viejo and overlooks the Saddleback Mountains, having a community building that looks like a Mediterranean villa with plenty of windows, a modern interior, and inviting outdoor spaces like courtyards, flower gardens, fire pits, and shaded patios with string lights and comfortable seating, helping folks relax or talk with neighbors, and then there are walking paths and a large landscaped backyard good for fresh air and connecting with others. The two-story building offers studio, studio deluxe, and suite apartments with kitchenettes, walk-in closets, bathrooms with tubs, and private patios or balconies, along with Alexa Smart Home devices in each apartment for controlling the thermostat, checking calendars, or contacting the front desk. Room sizes usually range from about 350 to 420 square feet, with both private and shared options.
The staff helps 24 hours a day with daily tasks like cooking, cleaning, personal care, and medication management, working alongside residents' doctors when needed, and they offer discreet help with bathing and dressing. Medical management and therapies like physical, occupational, and speech therapy happen onsite. Folks can keep pets, and there's support for hobbies or staying social with areas like the library, lounge with TV and fireplaces, internet/wifi, and a movie theater, as well as spots for meditation or worship. The dining room feels comfortable, with soft lighting, restaurant-style tables, and meals prepared by a chef using quality ingredients, and the bistro is open for light snacks or coffee. Laundry and housekeeping services are included, and transportation is available for appointments or outings.
People have the choice of independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care, all in the same community. The Life Guidance® memory care neighborhood is set up for folks living with Alzheimer's or dementia, with secure, safe designs, therapies, and staff trained to provide structure and minimize confusion, while balance screenings and the Better Balance Program help with stability. Independent living lets healthy, active seniors join social events and get help only when they want it, while assisted living supports those needing day-to-day help but who don't require full-time nursing.
The Engage Life® events program brings daily chances for fitness, learning, and social activities, and there's a monthly Social Series with themed parties, book swaps, or outdoor gatherings, all led by an activity director. Atria Del Sol has a licensed facility status, won community awards for care and service, and maintains a 91% resident satisfaction rate. Many services and amenities are included, like yoga, a salon, a fitness center, and a library, but the rental rate doesn't always cover care or added services. The building carries LEED Certified® designation, which means it's more eco-friendly and comfortable, focusing on connecting people and using sustainable practices, and resources for residents and caregivers help support planning and adjustment as health needs change. Apartment availability depends on a deposit, and residents and their families also can get help from home care aides if they decide to live outside the community. Overall, the community provides various care types all on one campus, with spaces and activities designed to keep folks connected, safe, and comfortable in a quieter, low-key retirement environment.
