Arbor View 5 is a small senior living community with only six licensed beds, located at 26851 La Sierra Drive in Mission Viejo, California, and it's a place where seniors can choose how they want to live because it has independent living, assisted living, nursing home services, memory care, and even foster care all under one roof, so whether someone just wants light help getting around or needs more involved care for dementia or Alzheimer's, there are options. The setting is single-level, so there aren't any stairs to worry over, and the place stays safe and easy to move around, and some rooms even have private baths with roll-in, stepless showers for people with mobility needs. There are private rooms, studios, and some apartments come furnished, all set up with flat TVs on the wall, cable, individual climate control, and high-speed internet.
The staff at Arbor View 5 have a one to three staff-to-resident ratio, staying close so everyone gets attention and the atmosphere is pretty friendly, with people looking out for each other, helping out, and treating each other like family. There's 24-hour supervision if it's needed, with nurses, med administration, and incontinence care always available, and there are podiatry and physician services on-site, too, while the staff also specializes in caring for folks who need help with everyday activities like eating, bathing, or taking medication.
Arbor View 5 keeps things organized by having locked storage for medications, central air and heating, and it helps keep things clean and peaceful with regular housekeeping and linen service. The community spaces are nice enough for daily life, with amenities including a game room, hair salon, library, lounge, gift store, shaded patio, garden sitting spots, and there's even a family-style dining area where people get meals made by chefs and meal planners, plus a café snack area for lighter bites. Activities like art therapy go on, too, and residents can join in group programs designed for both social and mental engagement-something that's won them awards for best activities.
It's a quiet place, and people do seem to feel comfortable there, with a focus on making things as welcoming as possible for everyone, no matter how much care they need. Arbor View 5 has a review score of 8.5 from residents and their families and has been recognized for being especially good with memory care and long-term care, with respite stay options for short-term relief. Even though it's got an A+ BBB rating, Arbor View 5 isn't an accredited business with the BBB. It operates with a California license for Residential Care for the Elderly, supporting seniors with different needs, whether someone's staying for the long haul or just needs support for a short while. This facility really puts focus on a safe, peaceful, and friendly environment where seniors and their families can feel some peace of mind.
