Mission Viejo Care Cottages sits in a quiet part of Mission Viejo, California, offering care for seniors in a cozy, home-like place made up of cottages designed for older adults, and there's only six licensed beds in each so it feels more like a small family than a big facility. This board and care home is family owned and operated, with the owners on-site every day, and it's licensed by the California State Department of Social Services as a Residential Care Elderly facility, so the care team is trained and experienced, with nurses on staff and caregivers who pay close attention to everyone's needs. They have private rooms with private bathrooms, ground floor units for easy use, and a full kitchen in every cottage, which means residents can enjoy home-cooked meals-including no sugar or special diet options-served in a private dining room. Residents can also relax in the comfortable family room with cable TV or move around the indoor and outdoor common areas and enjoy some fresh air in the secure outdoor garden spaces, and for anyone needing a cool spot in the summer, the cottages are air-conditioned.
The staff at Mission Viejo Care Cottages handle everything from high acuity care and incontinence support to medication management and non-ambulatory care, and they also provide memory care personalized for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia. Their approach is thoughtful and meant to keep everyone safe and feeling respected. The community is pet-friendly, non-smoking indoors, and has a secure, gated design. People who stay here can join in many daily activities that keep the mind and body active-things like devotional services onsite, karaoke, music, live theater or dance, yoga classes, stretching, chair yoga, trivia, and reminiscence programs, so there are a lot of ways to stay social or just pass the time pleasantly. The fitness room is fully equipped, and there is even a warm swimming pool for relaxing or gentle exercise, along with disability equipment to help residents move around more easily.
There's housekeeping, laundry, and daily maid service taken care of for everyone, and complimentary transportation is available, so residents get to where they need to go, whether it's appointments or outings for fun. In addition, the community speaks several languages including Filipino, French, and Spanish, which helps some residents feel more at home. For those needing extra help, Mission Viejo Care Cottages offers short-term respite stays and hospice care, giving families some peace of mind when they can't always be around. Safety is a top concern, as the building and the outdoor areas are both secured and monitored, and staff stay on-site 24 hours a day, so help is always close by if needed. Memory care programs offer secure living spaces and daily activities tailored for those with cognitive needs, keeping residents engaged and comfortable. Social events and recreational programs happen every day, giving people a chance to make friends and stay involved.
Residents live in a peaceful setting that's private, with plenty of space to visit with family or enjoy quiet time, all while having professional help nearby. The care team works closely with each person, making sure they get the support they need without losing their independence or dignity. The cottages strive for a caring approach where seniors can age with respect and feel like they truly belong, with a routine and environment that helps them stay healthy, active, and as independent as possible almost like being at home, just with helping hands always right there when needed.
