Hillside View is a small board and care home in Laguna Hills, California, with only six licensed beds, making it a close-knit place where staff get to know the residents pretty well, and you can see that they put a lot of effort into making everyone comfortable and safe because the staff provide 24-hour supervision and help with daily things like bathing, dressing, transfers, and managing medicines, so residents who need a bit more support won't feel left behind, and those who want more independence can still keep it. The building has fully furnished rooms and units, semi-private living spaces, and all the utilities are covered, so folks don't have to worry about extra bills. Folks who live there can use cable TV, Wi-Fi, and telephones in their rooms, and they can use common rooms like a big dining area, a living room, a theater, and a reading corner, which makes it easier to enjoy the day or join community-sponsored activities, including movie nights. The home has outdoor gardens and safe walking paths, decks, and porches, tending to those who like some fresh air or a stroll, and there's free transportation to doctor appointments and errands-which sure comes in handy-plus parking for those who drive or have visitors.
Housekeeping, laundry service, and meals-including food for special diets like diabetes or allergies-are handled so residents and families don't have to worry so much about those daily chores, and there are always snacks between meals in the dining hall, which some folks appreciate if they're up late or just want a little something extra. Move-in help is available for people settling into the home, and the staff work with doctors and other healthcare providers to stay on top of medical needs and monthly health checks. Health care includes personal care, medication support, on-site staffing, and connections with hospice and home health services if someone needs more help down the line, and this place also offers respite care if families need a short-term stay for their loved one. Hillside View welcomes pets, has massage therapy and wellness programs, and holds regular family support meetings, so families can stay connected, which a lot of people find comforting. Licensed by the California Department of Social Services as an RCFE with license #306004575, Hillside View works under state regulations to care for seniors in a homelike setting with long-term and short-term support. The grounds are secure, and you'll find people with memory issues like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's being cared for alongside others, with emphasis on personal dignity, comfort, and safety. Hillside View doesn't accept Medicare because it isn't certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, but the team offers a strong support system for residents and families hoping for a safe, welcoming environment, and based on Seniorly's system, the place has a community score of 5.5.
