Cogir of Brea is a two-story senior living community located on the corner of Randolph Ave and Madison Way, right across from Brea Mall and next to the Brea Community Center, which makes shopping and dining easy for residents with quick access to Imperial Hwy and the 57 freeway. The community has a mix of studio and one-bedroom apartments with sizes ranging from 250 to 476 square feet, some with balconies or patios, and all are wheelchair accessible, plus there's high-speed internet throughout the campus for those who like staying connected, so there's a good amount of comfort and convenience both inside the rooms and in the shared spaces like the lobby, Bistro, salon, and dedicated activity room where people gather for events or hobbies.
There are different levels of care for people with a variety of needs, including independent living for active seniors, assisted living for those who need extra help with day-to-day tasks like bathing and medication, specialized memory care for those living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and skilled nursing for those needing higher levels of medical help. The Memory Care section uses a program called Revere℠, which focuses on building connections through activities like music, dance, art, and sensory experiences, and tries to keep each resident's individuality in mind, which is a thoughtful way of making sure everyone stays engaged and feels understood, and there's home care support for residents who wish to stay in their rooms with help from trained aides for non-medical needs.
The facility allows residents to bring their pets, and there's a secure enclosed courtyard for walking or relaxing outside, plus there are elegant outdoor dining areas to enjoy fresh air during meals. Chef-prepared meals are served in a restaurant-style dining room with special attention to dietary needs, and in-room dining can be arranged for those who want to eat privately. Food is made from seasonal ingredients, and the dining spaces are designed to be welcoming and pleasant, which helps make daily life feel a bit more special. The community also has housekeeping and laundry services tied to certain floor plans, so most daily needs are covered.
Amenities at Cogir of Brea include beauty and salon services, on-site parking, an activity room, a common room for gatherings, and programs designed for health and activity like Melody & Masterpiece for creative arts, Forever Fit for fitness, Pawsitive Health for pet-related activities, Memories in Motion for sensory stimulation, Starlight Shows for entertainment, and Virtual Voyages for virtual experiences, so there's something to get involved in no matter someone's interests or abilities. The staff, including the Community Relations Director Charles Luetto, work to create a supportive, friendly environment and make sure residents have opportunities to engage in enriching activities like book clubs or art classes.
The building's safety systems and peaceful grounds offer a sense of security, and the focus on compassionate care is clear in how staff help residents manage their health and personal routines without making them feel like they're losing independence. The campus is designed for people to feel at home while also having extra support, and care can be adjusted as health needs change, which is helpful for anyone looking for continuity in their living situation. Cogir of Brea gives tours seven days a week by appointment, so potential residents and families can see daily life, dining, activities, and meet the care team in person.
