It was love at first slice for memory care residents at Atria North Point as they made their own personal pizza pies.

From crispy crust to savory sauce and extra cheese, a great time was had cooking up these tasty treats.

In honor of the famous Festival of San Fermín, July’s Taste of Atria lunch transported residents to Spain! The flavorful menu featured beef and cheese empanadas, chicken paella with roast vegetables and caramel flan. Residents and their friends savored the experience, which was complemented by a screening of the period piece Carmen.

We can't wait to see – and taste – the cuisine from our destination next month!

Sandy has always had a way with words.

A longtime resident of Atria Tamalpais Creek, she spent years writing for the San Rafael Daily Independent Journal, now the Marin Independent Journal, where her columns on motherhood and raising strong, independent kids resonated with readers across generations.

These days, Sandy brings that same thoughtful spirit to life in her community. She leads the garden club with enthusiasm, constantly dreaming up creative nature projects and fun outings. She's also a faithful reader of the Independent Journal and sparks great conversation during the community's news discussion groups, helping everyone stay engaged with the world around them.

We're lucky to have Sandy's curiosity and warmth at Atria. Her story is still unfolding – and we’re so glad to be part of it.

🍰 This month’s Social Series brought back the always exciting Chef Showdown! In this special dessert duel, Philadelphia took on New York in a classic cheesecake contest. Our very own Chef Darren faced off against a rich, authentic cheesecake straight from the Bronx’s Arthur Avenue Italian Market — and in a win that would make Bobby Flay proud, Darren’s signature Philly-style cheesecake came out on top! 🏆

Residents had a blast sampling both treats and raved about the sweet competition. Another deliciously fun afternoon at Atria! 💛🧁

Our Chef Showdown “sweets” event brought the heat – and plenty of sugar!

Residents, guests and even a panel of celebrity judges watched as our chefs went spatula-to-spatula with residents’ cherished dessert recipes in a live cooking competition. From secret family ingredients to chef-inspired twists, everyone had the chance to taste and vote for their favorite version of each sweet treat.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for the fun – and congratulations to all our resident bakers and culinary pros who made this showdown so delicious!

“Painting was always like breathing. It had to be,” says Elaine, a resident at Atria Cutter Mill whose lifelong love of art began with her father’s encouragement and a coloring book.

Though she never sold her work – “My paintings felt like children,” she says – Elaine’s legacy lives on through the pieces saved and beloved by her family.

With a master’s in fine art, memories of opera singing and a story as vibrant as her canvases, Elaine continues to inspire.

Her advice? “If you’re following your passion, you’re doing the best thing in the world. Be yourself.”

Congratulations to Jenesis, one of this year’s recipients of the Ronnie Boatman Scholarship! 🎓

Jenesis is the daughter of Anthony, a Resident Services Assistant in the memory care neighborhood at Atria Park of Lafayette. A high school student body president with perfect attendance and a passion for dance, Jenesis credits her father’s unwavering support for helping her reach this milestone. In the fall, she’ll attend Cal Poly Pomona to study environmental sciences. “This scholarship will enable me to pursue my dream,” she shares.

The Boatman Scholarship honors the legacy of beloved Atria leader Ronnie Boatman and has awarded nearly $800,000 to help the children and legal dependents of Atria employees pursue higher education.

Congratulations, Jenesis – your future is bright, and we’re proud to be cheering you on! 💙

A big birthday was recently celebrated at Atria Bethlehem. Ruth is 101!

"I would say trusting in the Lord and common sense are two things that helped me be blessed with 101 years of life," she shares.

Our residents enjoyed a beautiful summer day on our most recent Scenic Drive with a visit to Strawberry Mansion—a true gem of Philadelphia history.

Built in the 18th century and expanded in the early 1800s, Strawberry Mansion was once home to Judge William Lewis, a prominent figure who helped draft the first law in the U.S. to abolish slavery. Nestled in Fairmount Park, the mansion offers not only stunning views but a deep connection to the values of freedom and justice that we celebrate every July 4th.

As we near Independence Day, our trip served as a meaningful reminder of the ideals America was founded upon—and how places like Strawberry Mansion continue to tell the story of our nation’s journey.

Happy Fourth of July from all of us at Atria! 🇺🇸
