We visited this place and had the pleasure of meeting Gunnison, who was very cheerful, knowledgeable, and personable. He made us feel very welcome and took the time to answer all of our questions with patience and kindness. We toured the facility and were very impressed with how clean, well-maintained, and inviting it was. The atmosphere felt warm, peaceful, and caring, and the staff we encountered were friendly and professional. Overall, it is a beautiful and well-run community that gives a strong sense of comfort and confidence. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a caring and supportive environment for their loved ones.

I had the pleasure of working with Gunnison, the Director of Sales at Atria Foster City, and I can’t say enough about his professionalism, warmth, and genuine care for families. From the moment we connected, he was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that every question was answered and every detail was handled with care. Gunnison truly understands what families are going through when making senior living decisions. His patience and empathy make the entire process smooth and stress-free. He’s not only incredibly responsive but also proactive in finding the best possible solutions for residents and their loved ones.

Every time when I visited my friend in memory care at Atria at Foster Square, she was busily engaged in some kind of class activities. I have been invited to participate in Chinese NewYear calligraphy and lion dance, Making Your Own Ice Cream Sundae, Carnival Day, Labor Day BBQ… the food was always restaurant quality and all the residents I met loved living there. They say the staff are courteous and loving. I like the light-filled layout and patios.

Truly a 5 Star experience walking into Atria Foster Square. They totally changed my perspective on what senior living can offer. If you’re looking for luxury, modern, and upscaled living, then this is the place! P.S. LOVE the food here!

Living at Atria Foster Square is a gift I gave myself and life in much easier for me living here. Today is one month that I’ve been here. Even though I am 60 years old and much younger than most of the residents, my hereditary disability has progressed and I’m not able to function as well as I used to. Every week my laundry (including bedding if I want) is done, returned clean and folded. Light housekeeping is done weekly also. Three meals a day are included and the food is good to excellent. I don’t require a Michelin chef and Santos and his staff make tasty and healthy meals. Desserts are my favorite! The staff here are impressive.....friendly and helpful and address residents by name. From all the executive staff/directors to Concierges to drivers to caregivers, everyone is respectful and attentive. I appreciate the welcoming atmosphere. Even though Covid protocols limit activities at the moment, Kris, Resident Engagement Director, has many activities daily that are fun and engaging. Twice daily exercises, morning coffee/conversation, learning and art activities, Bingo and Name That Tune, a daily or twice daily movie, religious services and events, Blackjack and Poker.....there’s something for everyone! This isn’t a medical facility so there isn’t medical help available but every resident wears an alert pendant that gets a rapid response. Fellow residents are friendly and welcoming and inclusive, and those are all important to me. Transportation booked in advance is available within reason and particularly helpful for me since I don’t have a car here and is included in the monthly cost. There’s a waiting list for parking in the garage but parking nearby is plentiful. The Post Office is outside and a small market, Starbucks and half a dozen restaurants too. Poppies Bistro is right outside the lobby and now open with limited hours. Each resident has their own mailbox with larger mailboxes for Post Office delivered packages that don’t fit in your mailbox. Packages from UPS, Fedex, Amazon, etc are delivered to your apartment by staff. My beloved cat is here with me, a top priority for me. I also very much appreciate that it’s quiet here and comfortable and nothing like a nursing home. Help is available for additional cost and I it use once in a while at the moment. Before I chose this facility I toured others in the area and nothing came close. I’m very happy with my choice!
