Casa de Mañana--The House of Tomorrow. Living within the La Jolla area code automatically comes with many benefits: the seascape, the clean air, the access to a plethora of hospitals and specialized care facilities, walkable paths, plenty of restaurants and grocery stores, safety, etc. La Jolla is a very affluent area of San Diego, and people who can afford to live here get to enjoy the above benefits of being in a small town that has everything to offer. At Casa, seniors have access to a wonderful facility that provides everything from catered meals to assisted living at the building across the street. Most members of Casa are well-educated, with many of them having earned more than a Bachelors Degree. This community of well-educated seniors comes with a hefty price tag, as the baseline price for single bedroom apartments are 3500 USD. This price is very expensive compared to other senior living facilities seen in San Diego, but it makes sense because it is a beachside living facility. If you can afford to be a part of the exclusive community, you receive the all-inclusive benefits of being there.
The staff was incredibly nice, and all of the residents seemed to be very happy with their current state of living. We met a man who was in his 90s who started a choir at Casa, a women who was about to celebrate her 100th birthday, and many seniors who were participating in wellness activities. My favorite part of the outing was when we got to sit down with three seniors, who were all in their 90s, and hear about their life stories and how they ended up in Casa. They all came from completely different backgrounds, had achieved incredible things, and thoroughly enjoyed their time at Casa. I found it cool that one of them was born in the same city my Dad was born in.
EndNote on a Good Note:
Many seniors are relieved
when they have access to wellness and receive
benefits so they don't want to leave
It is imperative
that we pair together seniors and younger adults
to sit down reminisce
relive
advisable to take words from the wise
otherwise we couldn't learn from history unwitnessed
