Atria provides a wide range of senior living options in California, including independent living, assisted living and memory care.

In California, independent senior living is designed for older adults who lead an active lifestyle and require minimal to no assistance. Assisted living offers care and help with daily activities like bathing, grooming, medication assistance, and transportation for those who don't need specialized medical or nursing care.

Memory care, on the other hand, is residential long-term care that offers intensive, specialized care for individuals struggling with memory issues stemming from Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia.
