San Juan Hills Healthcare Center

San Juan Hills Healthcare Center sits at 31741 Rancho Viejo Road in San Juan Capistrano and offers a wide range of senior care services, including assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing. The place has private suites that come with comfortable beds, armchairs, dressers, and large windows that let in natural light, plus you can get a kitchenette with a mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee maker if you'd like, and these suites feel homey with soft lighting and welcoming decor, giving seniors their own space while still being part of a community. You find common areas like cozy lounges, a library with shelves full of books, a TV area with soft chairs, and restaurant-style dining rooms with white linens and flowers where meals are served. There's a game and activities room, guest parking, wifi, a dining room, fitness center, and even spaces outside like quiet gardens, large courtyards with fountains, paved walkways, and shaded patios, and there's a nice lobby with a fireplace and a reception desk. Residents can get help with bathing, walking, dressing, grooming, medication, and more, plus there's occupational therapy, podiatry, wound care services from Cristiana and Daniel, and even pet therapy. They offer memory care in secure environments for people living with dementia or Alzheimer's, with daily memory-enhancing activities and outings based on residents' interests, and the staff aim to treat everyone like family. For folks who need a break or temporary care, respite care is available, and there's support for both long-term and temporary needs. Services also include laundry, dry cleaning, personal care assistants, social and wellness programs, and staff are on hand day and night for skilled nursing support. The place has modern safety features like sprinklers, cable TV, maintenance, salon and barbershop, and safety or handicap accommodations, which help keep life simple. They accept Medicaid and long-term care insurance, and families can look up licensing, certification, and inspection details, and schedule tours-both in person and virtual-to better understand the care options and meet staff and residents. San Juan Hills Healthcare Center is run by Aspen Skilled Healthcare, has 45 certified beds, a 28.9% nurse turnover rate with a staffing ratio of 5.15 nurse hours per resident per day, and is next to Capistrano Senior Living. The facility has received 53 state inspection deficiencies, including four related to infections, several about resident rights, care planning, and food handling, but none with reports of actual harm, just the risk for potential issues. The staff focus on helping people keep their independence as much as possible, with help when they need it and lots of ways to spend time comfortably and safely.
