Wycliffe Gardens sits on 2.06 acres in Huntington Beach and has 285 one-bedroom, one-bath apartments, each about 605 square feet, set aside for seniors aged 62 and older, as well as disabled adults who qualify for HUD housing, with 185 of these apartments deed-restricted and government-subsidized, usually letting residents pay 30% of their gross income for rent and sometimes letting them pick flat rents, and these very low-income units include a utility allowance too. The community finished a $3,000,000 rehab in June 2010, handled by Las Palmas Housing and LOMCO, so the entire HUD Section 8/231 building's been remodeled to keep things up to date. There's a three-year waiting list, and Orange County Community Services lists Wycliffe Gardens as an affordable housing option, but this isn't a vacancy listing and instead shows what's available for affordable senior living in the area.
Wycliffe Gardens focuses on elderly care, offering physical rehab, hospice services, assisted living, and skilled nursing, and has staff dedicated to senior health, so residents get personalized care based on their own needs, with medical services that cover both daily help and more specialized support. Memory care and residential care home options are part of the services, and there's a focus on letting people live as independently as possible, while making sure help is always close at hand. There's a pet-friendly environment, so seniors with pets can feel more at home, and amenities include a recreation building, kitchen facilities, billiard room, meeting and recreation rooms, a resident services coordinator, roof garden, sheltered gazebo, courtyard with a ground floor community garden, on-site laundry, and a manager's office.
One special detail is that Wycliffe Gardens hosts the Jewish War Veterans Harry Hoff Post 595 every second Sunday of the month at 10 a.m., with a designated space and meeting room set aside for these gatherings. Residents can socialize and keep active thanks to several spaces built for community use, and the location puts people near one theater for cultural outings, four restaurants for dining, 18 pharmacies, five parks for outdoor activities, and three local cafes for relaxing or meeting friends. Families looking for advice on care options can use Wycliffe Gardens' links to connect with senior living advisors who give information about different community choices, and there's a website that helps folks compare ratings and read reviews, but specific prices aren't published. The community's open every day, with hours set for both weekdays and weekends, and the focus stays on providing long-term living choices that fit older adults' needs in a simple, supportive environment.
