Mission Viejo Care Cottages 2 sits in a quiet neighborhood in Mission Viejo, California, offering senior residents a calm place to live, where a small group of up to six people share a cottage-style house, so it always feels homey and not crowded. This place cares for those who need more help with daily life, like bathing, dressing, medication, or getting around, and the staff stays present all day and night to help with anything from taking medicine to getting in or out of bed. The caregivers know how to support folks needing memory care, those who can't walk without help, and even residents with specific health needs or special diets, including diabetes or high blood pressure, and the staff can even help with insulin or two-person transfers when needed.
Each resident can choose a private or semi-private room, already furnished, with telephone, cable TV, and WiFi so it's comfortable and feels like home, and there's always housekeeping so things stay tidy, with laundry and linen service as well. Residents have a big choice of fresh meals each day, served in the dining room with special attention to anyone's allergies or restrictions, and there are snacks, too, if someone gets hungry in between. The house itself has lots of safety features, and you'll see a garden out back, spots to sit and walk outside, and even a warm pool, hot tub, steam room, and a little fitness area, plus a traveling barber or hairdresser visits regularly.
The daily life here has a lot of simple comforts, with planned group meals, movie nights, music, art, games, and scheduled activities, and they offer pet therapy and music programs, which both seem to lift everyone's spirits. When it's time for appointments, the staff helps make transportation arrangements for doctor's visits, errands, group outings, and faith-based trips when requested. There's memory care on site for those who need more support, and the home welcomes folks needing short-term stays for respite, so family caregivers can take a break.
