The prices for a residence on this website are not accurate nor up to date. That said this is a very nice place to live. I've lived here over four years and it's good. I'm a bit particular so it's good. read more

Very compassionate staff, loving and friendly resident environment. Love the facilities benefits! read more

Moms New Home I want to be honest with you, searching for the perfect memory care facility for my Mother was anything but simple or easy. nothing is as perfect for a family members care especially ones Mother as living at home with loving family members. That said everything about San Clemente Villas made it possible for us to feel good about this decision for Mom. After touring every memory care community in San Clemente, we chose San Clemente Villas, and it was immediately clear this facility was different. From the first visit, the experience stood out. Esmeralda provided a thorough, compassionate tour and clearly explained the community, services, and staff. That first interaction set the tone and ultimately confirmed this was the right place. What truly distinguishes San Clemente Villas: * Small, dedicated memory care community with approximately 20-25 residents, allowing for more personalized, attentive care. My Mom also loves their weekly outings to the nearby coastal areas and the holiday/birthday celebrations. * Bi-lingual - spanish speaking caregivers on staff, which was essential for my Mom who reverted back to only speaking spanish as her condition progressed. * Accessible and responsive management that is easy to communicate with and consistently accommodating of individual needs. * Convenient location, close to the freeway and nearby medical and support services. * On-site medical care, including weekly visits from Dr. Haga and his excellent staff. * Outstanding leadership--Tara, the manager, sets a compassionate, family-centered tone that carries through the entire staff. She knows residents personally and creates a genuine sense of community. * High-quality, well-prepared meals with excellent variety, thoughtfully planned by an excellent chef to meet residents' needs and preferences. We have to be careful with Mom as she loves their desserts especially the cake. * Recently renovated facility that is clean, welcoming, and beautifully maintained. Having personally visited every local option--multiple times, on different days and shifts--this community stood apart in staffing, atmosphere, and overall quality of care. Working in memory care is demanding, and here it's clear the staff is supported, engaged, and genuinely invested in the residents. If you are searching for a thoughtfully run, well-staffed, and compassionate memory care community, San Clemente Villas is absolutely worth serious consideration. Call and speak to Esmerelda ask her to give you a tour and tell her Tony Alvarez said she is wonderful. You will be happy you did! read more

The San Clemente Villas is far more than a residence for our aging family members. It's a community of care takers, friends, laughter, creativity, nurturing, and compassion. My mom has lived in the Villas for nearly 2 years and the quality of her life has genuinely improved. The team of professionals love well, show up unconditionally, and are in tune with their residence. I give high praise to the Executive Director, Fred Paoli, and the Director of Health Services, Tee Roberts. Along so many more gifted and kind team members. Each one greets the residences by name and spends the extra time to learn all their unique needs. I'm equally impressed with their communication and resourcefulness. Highly recommend. read more

My mom has been living at San Clemente villas for the last five years. For her first four years she was in the main building living independently and for this last year she's been in memory care area. The caretakers and staff here are absolutely amazing. Tara, heather, Melody, Ana, Lupe are just to name a few that are exceptional. Jace and Yasmin at the front desk are also absolutely amazing. At a time of our lives, but it's been very difficult to see my mom decline. Having the type of care that's provided here has made it so much better. I highly highly recommend San Clemente Villas for your loved ones. read more

This community truly cares for their residents! I had the opportunity to volunteer and help with a few activities at their memory care. Heather and Tara truly go above and beyond to create fun activities for their residents daily. It is such a warm and happy environment! read more

This is truly an amazing place; Cleanly, respectful, very helpful, and very well put-together and presenting. I was helped by Danielle and she explained everything perfectly. She was very helpful, made me feel comfortable with leaving my dear relative at the facility. She was the first face I had seen walking through those doors, and her smile and demeanor was very welcoming. You can tell it's not about the money for the lovely workers here. I hate to even call it a "facility", as it's more like a resort for those living there. The residents are very well taken care of. read more

What an amazing community! Friendly, clean, and caring! The ED Laura is so passionate and caing! And the Assisted Living Director Danielle is an actual gem. read more

Heather is one of the most amazing and creative activities assistant. Tara is an amazing CFL Director Rachel is an outstanding assisted-living Director. read more

Decent service. My fathers basic needs were met as long as we continually checked on him and communicated concerns otherwise he was consistently neglected. It was basaically price and location that kept us there. We did not realize until my father passed that everything of value with the exception of his wedding ring was stolen while he was there. If you choose this place do not allow your loved ones to keep anything of value there. read more

My mother and her sister (my aunt) lived there for almost 2 years. It was such a relief to know how well they were taken care of. They resided in their memory care wing where the staff all deserve gold medals. They treated my family as if it was their own. I still miss going there but plan to visit as soon as Covid 19 ends. This picture was taken last Christmas read more

Once again the staff at san clemente villas have impressed beyond belief! This time it was Barbara! She scheduled a couple of FaceTime calls with our 100 yr old Gma who lives there! And then went over and beyond to help us find some important paperwork in my gmas place!! And SHE FOUND IT!! Thank goodness- And the whole time she was so patient and her voice so calm and soothing-- as she meticulously looked for it. Thank you BARBARA for your loving and kind self. And way to go San Clemente Villas for hiring such awesome employees!!!! Ok so I wanted to write another new review about the staff and San Clemente Villas by the Sea. But it will only allow me to add to this original post! June 12,2020- I wanted to personally thank the extra help from Esmeralda! Because of Covid19 my grandmother has been on "lock-down" and I'm happy to say that they have kept all residents safe and sound during this Pandemic! We had some banking issues during this time and things my grandmother needed to handle and yet couldn't leave the premises. Wells Fargo "could not" help us- So after several attempts and getting letters notarized by Esmeralda at the Villas... we were finally able to accomplish our goals! Esmeralda was so awesome and always willing to help us at a moments notice! I can't thank her enough! Also, the Villas allowed us to have a parade for my grandmothers 101st BIRTHDAY! What a memorable event with many beautifully decorated cars, music, live music, car parade and then foot parade in the entry of the Villas! This is a great place to live. The owners and staff truly care for all of the residents. Thank you so much San Clemente Villas. read more

I moved my grandmother here a month ago. Staff here was very polite and kind. I truly appreciate them for all the help and hard work. Thank you guys so much. read more

My Mom recently left Villa Valencia and moved to San Clemente Villas and we could not be happier. We made the move during this crazy time, 100% due to following Cara Deiro (Director of Clinical Services), as well as Kristen and other care-givers who had previously worked at VV. Cara is amazing and we can not say enough good things about how to she treats residents and family. To many instances over the past three years of knowing Cara to thank her for! The staff at San Clemente Villas have ALL been amazing. John is the nicest and so helpful. Any time we drop off supplies, he or someone immediately takes it to her room and even puts away for her! All the things that I used to do. It helps knowing the little details are being handled. We are on a financially lean budget and SCV handled the whole move for my Mom, with the most amazing movers who stayed and helped me unpack. Due to COVID, only one family member was allowed in the room to get unpacked and set up. They were wonderful. The activities have been great and honestly since my Mom has been allowed to socialize (all precautions taken) she has perked up and looks happier than she has in months! These are crazy times and especially hard for the elderly and we are so incredibly grateful and happy we are settled in at San Clemente Villas. Please keep up the great atmosphere as it is appreciated and noted! Sincerely, Susan Froboese read more

If you are looking for a safe, organized, clean, and activity packed home for yourself or for a loved one, the San Clemente Villas is a perfect choice! My mom has lived there for a year now and she is thriving both physically and mentally. The staff provides friendly and efficient personalized care. Esmerelda Lopez in administration has been specifically warm and welcoming to mom. She seems intuitive to her needs and makes sure they are met. Seriously, the Villas feel like a stationary cruise ship. read more

We absolutely love it here. My mother has had a slow transition but moved from Texas, and her house, to California so a lot is new. The residents are lovely and the caretakers, as well as administrative staff have been welcoming, warm and on top of everything. I rest easy knowing my mother is here. read more

First, I'd like to thank Jan, Executive Director, for my stay at the Villas. It is such a beautiful, sunny, well-managed place. It is immaculately clean, all the caretakers and management are so kind and classy! The food is delicious and beautifully served. I am so grateful I was able to stay in your well-run establishment. Should I need care again I will come to The Villas of San Clemente! Jan, thank you so much for your kindness. Maggie M. read more

I would give San Clemente Villas more than five stars if I could. I had to move my mother in during Covid, if it weren't stressful enough already! Their protocol was very detailed-temperature checks, masks, gloves, every single staff member went above and beyond to make my mother comfortable and to help me get through a very difficult time. I had heard that their assisted living facility was the best in the area and now I can vouch for that personally. Every team member treated my mom and myself with dignity and respect. I can't thank them enough! read more

Hello! I stopped by your property many months ago and had to write to tell you that I was so blown away! Not only by how clean and cozy your facility is, but by the energy and love I felt. I wish you every success, keep up the fantastic work! This is definitely the place I would trust with my loved one. read more

This place is really top notch! The owner Aileen is such a lovely person. The first thing that caught my attention is that she truly cares about the seniors well being, she engages with her residents and makes sure their care is a priority. I would definitely recommend this assisted living to everyone looking for a loving home for your family member. Keep up the good work Aileen and all of the Villas staff!!!! read more

ANNA/MARIO/KIM MISS YOU! So many people working hard and trying hard. I think it is a nice place and although my situation wasn't great I think my parents enjoyed it. Mario you are exceptional, how lucky they are to have you. Met a lot of great people. Thanks to all. read more

San Clemente Villas By the Sea is the BEST and I highly recommend for Senior Living. They care about your loved ones and all the wonderful amenities. Great food, fun entertainment, activities and a beautiful place to live. Family owned they pay attention to detail and it gives it a personal touch. LOVE the Villas. read more

My Mom lived at the Villas for the last 8 years of her life, and I'm convinced that the caring, active, attentive staff and lifestyle contributed to her living longer, happier, safer and more involved in life. The staff treated her like family, and made me feel like she was as loved there as she was in her own family. The activities such as singing, movies, educational classes, dancing, community involvement, gourmet meals, personalized transportation services allowed her to feel involved and cared for at all times, and made me feel relaxed about her well being even if I could not be there. The longevity of the staff of an assisted living facility is an important signpost of their commitment to supporting their employees, giving them the tools to do their best job for the residents, and feeling that the overall culture of their employer is always focused on the comfort, safety and care of the seniors they attend to. Most of the Villas staff have been there a long time, and embody this culture perfectly. My 97 year old Mom passed away this last month, and the Villas staff grieved along with the rest of her family. My family and I thank everyone at the Villas from the bottom of our hearts. read more

Aileen, the owner, is such a warm and caring person to work with! She is full of energy as she buzzes around the property. It is obvious that her residents are like family to Aileen as she greets them by name and jokes with them. It is a great property in a beautiful location, but perhaps more important is the fact that the ownership is so committed and caring!!! read more

The simplest thing i can say about San Clemente Villas is Yes.... I would place my mom here! The moment you walk in you feel the warmth, and contentment of the residents. It starts from the top and Aileen the owner is devoted to her seniors and their comfort. It shows with her staff too. The location is amazing...(who doesn't want to live by the beach) and the facility so nice. This place thrives on thriving seniors and also has a wing for Assisted Living and Memory Care. With seniors living longer, i am encouraged that there is an option like San Clemente Villas by the sea which offers wonderful amenities, great dining, activites galore and that warm place someone calls home. read more

After looking around at all assisted living places, this was the one I chose because of the service, availability, and kindness of all the employees. read more

I have lived here 9 out of 11 years I have been in Orange County. Aileen and Paul have built a place that is fun , safe and creates community for those who may have aged out of their social circles. I am in the unique position of having come here young because of complications of my disability. So I became a young Senior here. They play poker have regularly scheduled Happy Hours with a professional dance coach. It used to be billed as the cruise ship that never sailed. One senior in 2010 actually took me on a cruise to Mexico. She was retired military and like everyone here had a fascinating story. Come check out the Villas. read more
