Finding the right home for a loved one is daunting, but Coastal Senior Living is truly a rare find…read more The owner, John, brings his professional background as a retired Respiratory Therapist to the table, which gives us incredible peace of mind regarding the technical and medical side of care. The property itself is stunning--nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in a high-end neighborhood. Unlike most facilities, the rooms here are very large and many offer breathtaking coastal views. But what really makes this place special is the staff. The caregivers are attentive, kind, and treat residents with such dignity. This is a rare find.

Amazing! John is incredible, staff is amazing, views are unbelievable. What a wonderful place!read more

When her condition started exceeding our capabilities, we began a thorough search of memory care facilities over a few month period We chose Atria and we are very thankful we did!

Background/FYI I am a retired fire captain/paramedic with 32 yrs on the job.. I have run on a lot of patients in various memory care/assisted care facilities, over those thirty + years. Atria impressed me. I know of several FD personnel who also have their loved ones in Atria SJC. In summary, I want to thank the ladies that tend to the patients during all hours of the day and night.

We recently moved from Pasadena to Dana Point. After considering many options -- from condos to…read morehomes to other over 55 communities, we settled on Sea Bluffs. Our experience has been nothing less than outstanding. The staff has been extraordinarily helpful with every little question or need we've had. They even brought us meals our first few days while we were trying to move in and unpack! Now that's above and beyond. We live in a beautifully refurbished condo with all new appliances, carpeting and paint overlooking the Pacific. The other residents have been welcoming and helpful with tips for local services and how to make the most of what Sea Bluffs offers. Now, everyone always asks about the food. I'm not going to lie and say it's gourmet cuisine, but it's good, healthy, plentiful and with plenty of choices. On the days I don't like what they're serving for dinner or lunch I just order from their "everyday menu" and get a burger, sandwich, or salad. Similarly, the activiites are plentiful. There are exercise classes, art classes, group discussions, singing groups and my personal favorite -- water aerobics! We hated leaving our home and Pasadena but it was time to prepare for the future, get away from potential fires, and be someplace cooler. I know we made a good choice by coming to Sea Bluffs. I can't imagine any other community that would check so many boxes.

My cousin Bertha is a happy and thriving resident at ActivCare Laguna Hills because of the staff. I…read moreknow this because of the multiple calls I receive in a day from Bertha and some of first words out of her mouth are " The people here are nice to me!" These words are so comforting to me since her parents left their special needs daughter in my care. Recently Bertha's mother passed away and this was soon after she had visited Bertha at ActivCare. After the loss of her mother, there was so much love shown to Bertha by all the staff. Marlene M. the program specialist would frequently call and update me on how Bertha was feeling during this very difficult time. Marlene has made my life so much easier in so many ways by letting me know what Bertha needs, updating me on the activities she participates in and those she does not and how she is feeling emotionally. She often goes in her room to make sure Bertha's closet and room are in order. I know Bertha is well cared for! Bertha is a social butterfly and she enjoys talking with others. I have often dropped by, unannounced, and seen Marlene and Bertha laughing and talking. Marlene also engages lovingly with other residents as well. She is such a kind and caring human being. I feel as though she is a part of Bertha's family. Thank you ActivCare for choosing such wonderful staff!!! Sincerely, Darlene D.

My mom has lived at The Seville since January 2025. If I had to describe our experience in one…read moreword, it would be **partnership**. Dementia is hard. Moving someone you love into memory care is hard. Even the best community cannot make it easy. What it can provide is more support, more expertise, more connection and more people helping you navigate something none of us has a perfect roadmap for. That is what we have found at The Seville. The hospitality, setting and attention to detail are second to none. The upstairs community room--with its deck and 180-degree view of the Pacific--is magical. I wish it were my family room. And yes, all of this really happens: * Fresh flowers, linens and special coffee cups on the tables * Weekly music, poker, crafts and beautifully curated holiday celebrations * Regional dinners that become experiences--Italy through VR, an opera singer and limoncello spritzes * Petting zoos brought to the community * Guys' nights organized by Hector, the master of gathering people--pizza and beer, bowling or trips to the driving range * On-site physical therapy, Hoag at Home services and quarterly wellness reviews * An on-site salon where my mom gets highlights, blowouts and precious girl time with Aubrey--a magical human who loves Mom like family * Photos and joyful snapshots that let us share in her days, even when we aren't there * Jennifer turning what could be a long day into one filled with activities, engagement and connection What matters most to me is that this life is not reserved for assisted living. Residents living in memory care are included and have experiences thoughtfully created for them. My mom is not simply kept safe, fed and medicated. She is invited to participate, laugh, dress up, wear her coral lipstick and continue being **Terry**. Staffing and retention are challenges throughout senior living- from the front and back of the house to med-techs, caregivers, executive directors and nursing leaders. The Seville is still a young community, and it continues working to find the right mix of people. There have been transitions. I won't pretend otherwise. But with each one, we learn together, make adjustments and become better and stronger. Most importantly, the core medical and care team our family depends on has remained. Those relationships, that knowledge of my mom and that continuity matter enormously. The people here know her personality, routines and quirks. They laugh with her, care about her and welcome our family into the community. I never feel as though we handed Mom over at the front door. We don't always get everything right. Neither do they. Dementia doesn't give any of us that luxury. Needs change, people change and what worked yesterday may not work tomorrow. What matters is having people willing to listen, adjust, problem-solve and keep working with you. One of my biggest lessons has been this: **The best Senior Living Community is not a place where something is done to a person or for a family. It is something we build together.** If you are looking for perfection, you won't find it in Senior Living, asssited living, dementia or memory care. But if you want people willing to become true partners in a life chapter--and a community committed to creating moments of beauty, belonging and joy - that is what our family has found at The Seville.

Secondly, you probably already know that almost all of these facilities suck and are many flavors of sketchy. NOT this place. The Orchards gives off a whole different and positive vibe from the start when you walk in the main entrance. Everything is clean, actually clean, even the patient bathrooms, closets, behind the doors, everywhere is clean. The ratio of staff to patients is SO MUCH better than other facilities my family member has been too. I believe there's maximum 50 patients. The bedrooms are next level. They have 4-5 options ranging from a shared room with two people, to completely private with your own bathroom and living room/lounge area, obviously at a higher price point. But even the shared bedrooms are awesome as they have a closet/cabinet that divides the room, not just a sheet. Makes it so much better to have that division. ***Most importantly the Rehab staff is AMAZING!!!*** The amount of effort and thought they put into the individuals rehabilitation program is far greater than any other facility we have been to. They aren't trying to milk the process and allow people to just sit doing non productive activities just so they can bill for it. They're constantly assessing and evolving the game plan as they go. 10/10 best team of therapists. hands down. bar none. The staff communicates extremely clearly and reach out if they have pertinent info in regards to my family members health, progress, and well being. Which is something I've never experienced, usually I have to track people down and it's like pulling teeth to get answers or info. The food is good, and comparably to other places it's the best menu I've seen. Don't get me wrong it's not gourmet living but they have solid options. When you see a plate of food, it actually looks a cooked meal, not school lunch slop. They also have off menu items like sandwiches and what not if your family member is a picky eater. If you got this far in my Mega novel of a review then you obviously are deep in the process and looking for answers. Again, sending you all my good energy and if you can get your family member into The Orchards, don't hesitate and end up in another depressing SH**hole, pull the trigger and give your family member the best chance at success. Much love -Rich

My husband spent 8 weeks at The Orchards receiving skilled nursing care after breaking his tibia…read moreand being placed on a strict no-weight-bearing restriction. Eight weeks is a long time to be in a skilled nursing facility, so we had plenty of time to experience both the positives and the areas that could use some improvement. Overall, the care he received was very good. The CNAs, nurses, physical therapists, and office staff were all caring, helpful, and supportive throughout his stay. The facilities themselves are definitely 4-5 star. Having a private room made a huge difference. When you're in a facility for an extended period of time, having even a little privacy can help you feel almost human again. The Orchards also has equipment and machines to assist with just about anything you may need, which was very helpful during his recovery. There are a few areas that could use some TLC. Being asked each day what you would like for breakfast, lunch, and dinner is a definite plus, although the food would often arrive lukewarm. The PT and OT schedules were also somewhat laid-back. We were never quite sure when they would arrive, although the therapists and staff themselves were great. Getting into The Orchards was difficult, probably because of their good reputation and demand for beds. A very special shout-out to Katherine, who was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to help us get him a bed. Her help and kindness during what was already a stressful time meant so much to us. Overall, we were very pleased with the care my husband received at The Orchards and are grateful to the staff who helped him through a very long and challenging recovery.

They do a beautiful job at the holidays celebrating with all the residents.  And when we came to visit, they always made sure they made space for us, so my mother could enjoy time with me, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. These were some of the happiest years of her life, and we will always be grateful for the extraordinary people at Augustin Gardens. I only wish we had found this wonderful home sooner.

My grandma moved…read morein on Tuesday to an apartment with no cable TV, despite having the TV ready to go the weekend before her move in. I've visited or called every day to see if they've gotten her cable setup and they appear to be dragging their feet. There is a huge lack of communication between management, maintenance, and front desk staff that delays tasks and doesn't communicate progress with residents or their families. The other day a front desk staff members started clipping her nails while answering my questions with vague answers and "I'll leave a note" for staff who seems to always leave before the end of the day. I can't seem to get straight answers from anyone and I rarely get calls or texts back when I'm promised any. Overall, I'm frustrated with the move in and hope to see some changes in this facility soon. I'll be looking at alternative options if things don't change soon. EDIT: Katy from CSL gave me a call and we had a great chat about some of the frustrations I had regarding the delayed cable installation and communication issues. She also was able to clarify some of my questions and ease my biggest concerns/worries. She is such a sweet and caring woman, and I'm glad we were able to talk. I am very hopeful that things will go more smoothly now that some of the initial move-in bumps have been handled.
