Bethel Towers stands as an 18-story building on the West Side of Costa Mesa, now at 678 W. 19th St., after changing from the old 666 address, and folks around here know it's the tallest one on this side of town. The community offers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments for seniors, with Section 8 options for those who qualify, so many older folks and lower income households can find a spot that fits. You find affordable senior housing here, and the place organizes living options that work for people who need assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, and even independent living for folks who want some privacy but don't want to be alone. There's a faith-friendly feeling in the halls, with Christian values built into the community, and the staff stays friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with whatever comes up during the day.
The building's had a lot of upgrades, including a full seismic retrofit and fire safety systems with sprinklers and alarms, so families don't have to worry about those concerns too much, plus energy-efficient systems like new windows and boilers cut down on costs and drafts. Unit interiors have been updated with new cabinets, appliances, and fixtures, plus corridors have new lighting, carpeting, and even some fresh artwork and signs that help you find your way. All the unit doors now have safer hardware and seals, and every floor's got improved hallways with wood trim and better ceilings, so things look better than they did in the old days. The first floor has a new lobby and piano lounge, along with a media room, mail room, leasing offices, a laundry room for residents, and an Apple computer-learning center, plus the 18th floor has a library and sky lounge that gives a view clear across the county, which friends and family always like when they visit.
Around the building, landscaping follows water conservation rules, which folks appreciate, especially since California gets so dry. Inside, meals are planned and prepared by chefs, so residents get nutritious food, and the dining room has won local Best Meals and Dining awards, showing they don't cut corners on meals. Bethel Towers has received other awards too, like Best Activities and Most Friendly, because they fill each day with things to do-events, games, and exercise-to keep everyone social, active, and bright, both mentally and emotionally. The community offers a schedule of events and access to services for those who need extra help, and they've got floorplans for new residents to look at, plus reviews and pricing info that folks can unlock online.
