There's no retirement community in America like The White Sands of La Jolla.
Retirement should be a permanent vacation, whether you're dipping your toes in the Pacific, sipping cappuccino in a La Jolla café or engaging in a fascinating seminar right on our campus. That's the promise of The White Sands of La Jolla, but the experience is even richer.
Your neighbors are smart, accomplished people who thrive on new friendships and new experiences. You're surrounded by a staff that truly loves our residents; many members of our team have made our community their life's career, simply because of their strong bond with the people they serve. Our residents feel just as passionate about their “second family,” even setting up scholarships to help them advance.
Our residents make our world go ‘round. The Residents Council leads 45 committees, covering every aspect of life here: business issues, world-class entertainment, our weekly newsletter, volunteering, flowers and décor, celebrations, travel around La Jolla or the world, and more. Their focus is on resident satisfaction—and our survey results showcase their success.
What makes our services so incomparable? Our people. Ask anyone here. Our residents appreciate our staff so much, they’ve set up a scholarship fund so that employees can continue their education. Just as revealing: Even though The White Sands of La Jolla has a no-tipping policy, residents themselves created an employee appreciation fund to reward outstanding service.
With accents of Asian artwork, a marble foyer and grand domed skylight, The White Sands of La Jolla assisted living residence makes a stunning impression. Life here is often accompanied by luxurious music flowing from the baby grand piano, as residents and guest artists express their talents. Part of our just-completed $50 million expansion, this brand-new showplace has both gourmet dining and a big, country-style, help-yourself kitchen. Residents enjoy the ocean-view patio for barbeques and Friday night cocktail hour. No wonder our assisted living center has become one of the most popular sites on campus.
The emphasis is on living—in a big way—but the assistance is just as impressive. The White Sands of La Jolla has one of the few assisted living residences in America to pass the rigorous demands for Eden certification. The Eden Alternative® is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the idea that aging can be a process of growth and enrichment, not decline. Eden certification signifies that we’ve created a culture that empowers front-line staff to make decisions affecting resident well-being.
From private and semi-private apartments, our skilled-nursing residents get our best view of the Pacific breakers. They enjoy the same panorama from their scenic dining room and outdoor patio. The atmosphere is serene, the care, attentive. The Top of the Sands offers its own full calendar of activities, from piano concerts to discussions of current events, all in a tranquil setting like no other in California health care.
The Top of the Sands is designed for people needing the finest long-term care. It’s also an intrinsic part of our community, so loved ones can easily visit.
