Laundry

Washers and dryers are located in the breezeways on floors 1, 2, 4, and 6. Cost is $1.25 per wash load and $1.00 per dryer cycle. Guests can pay with quarters or by using the Speed Queen app.

Air Flow and Fans

Our modern building design is optimized for air flow and therefore, La Jolla Family House rooms do not have in-room air conditioning. However, rooms are equipped with ceiling fans and tower fans. Additional fans may be requested at the front desk, based on availability.

Resources and Support

Fresh Einstein Bros. Bagels Provided by our local Einstein Bros. of Hillcrest! Leftover bagels are stored in the plastic bins near the toaster. Be sure to check the community refrigerator for cream cheese and butter to enjoy!
Weekly Food Items Each house receives a weekly food order from UC San Diego Health Nutrition Services. On Wednesdays, you can expect items such as eggs, milk, produce, bread, and sandwich fixings. In addition, each house has a pantry that is often stocked with pasta, sauces, soups, and baking ingredients. Items may fluctuate based on donations received from our generous partners and volunteers.
Support Services Coordinator Michelene Wasil is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. If you need support, resources, or just want to talk, call or text 858-633-6389. She can also be reached via email at mwasil@health.ucsd.edu.
