Park Vista Assisted Living and Memory Care sits in Brea, California and offers care for seniors 55 and up with all sorts of different needs-you'll find independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, all within the same large community that has 85 beds and a good reputation, including a 5-star nursing home rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and a 9.4 out of 10 community rating, which folks tend to notice. People can choose from six floor plans, including private and semiprivate studio and one-bedroom apartments, many with garden views or their own balconies, plus kitchenettes, and private wheelchair-accessible bathrooms and showers, so there's plenty of room to settle in, and pets like dogs and cats are welcome too. Staff keep a close watch with 24-hour skilled nursing care, nurses and a medical director on call, and there're visiting professionals like podiatrists, dentists, dietitians, and therapists for physical, occupational, and speech therapy almost every day.
There're community fees, respite care options, buy-in arrangements, and monthly rates that change depending on the room and how much care someone needs, with levels ranging from low to high, and personalized care plans for things like bathing help, dressing, grooming, moving around, eating, medication, memory care, diabetes care, and wound care, as well as support for seniors who manage most tasks but might need an extra hand. For folks with dementia, memory care uses bracelets and alarms, plus safe spaces to prevent wandering, with staff who've been trained to handle memory challenges and to keep people involved.
Meals appear three times a day in a warm dining room, and extra tray service happens when folks are sick; residents get nutritious food made by chefs and planned by dietitians, so meals are one less thing to worry about. Park Vista has a real focus on socializing and staying active with a full-time activity director who schedules things like exercise classes, music, senior topics, games, happy hours, outings, and trips, along with on-site and offsite devotional services, a full-service beauty and barbershop, and both indoor and outdoor lounges, a library, theater, and courtyard. It's easy to get around with resident parking, free rides, and public bus lines nearby, and smokers have to step outside if they want a smoke.
The community supports aging in place, so as care needs grow, people don't have to move away. There are emergency systems in place-bracelets, alarms, sometimes medical alert services like Bay Alarm Medical, ADT, or Medical Guardian-and staff who stay awake and on-site all night, always ready to help. There's a case manager and social worker to guide families through different options, including home health care and hospice. Plus, there's assistance for folks who are non-ambulatory but can transfer with one person, and there's support for continents and those who manage incontinence on their own. Park Vista is licensed by the state, and uses thoughtful programs to help people stay as independent as possible, with physical and mental health in mind, so families can find different levels of care in the same place, including short-term stays if needed or longer-term support as conditions change, all in a setting that's made to be friendly, respectful, and safe.
