Kirkwood Orange

Kirkwood Orange sits at 1525 E Taft Ave in Orange and stands out as a pet-friendly, two-story community with a seaside cottage look, and when you pull up you'll notice the flowers and landscaping, plus a courtyard with fountains and benches where folks like to sit under the shade or take walks. The community offers both assisted living and memory care, with short-term stays and independent living too, all managed by MBK Senior Living. The building has 48 suites with choices like studio, studio deluxe, and one-bedroom apartments, some with kitchenettes, wood-style floors, plenty of light, and private or shared memory care studios, all with utilities, basic cable, wifi, and emergency alert systems, so if help's ever needed, staff will know right away. The staff is known for being friendly, attentive, and available all day and night, and they've shaped a warm, welcoming environment that cares for physical, emotional, and social needs by paying special attention to each person. Every apartment can welcome pets, and there's housekeeping, laundry, and concierge help, plus a full schedule of activities, so it's busy around here-there's a variety of fitness classes, an Adventurer's Club for outings, intellectually stimulating lectures, games beside the fireplace or at the game tables, and movie nights in the in-house theater. For food, chefs prepare three meals a day served in a restaurant-style dining room or at the bistro and coffee bar, and you can find an ice cream parlor, too, offering both healthy and comfort food choices. Folks can take part in volunteer opportunities and enjoy social, cultural, and recreational events-there's a beauty salon with barber chairs, a fitness center made easy to use, well-stocked library, and a courtyard for strolls. Memory care residents have specialized spaces with secure patios and inviting places to relax or socialize, and care is always focused on each person's needs, blending support and as much independence as possible with staff nearby. The building has plenty of natural light and comfortable spots to gather, and apartments feature big windows, spacious kitchens in some units, and modern touches. People use scheduled transportation to get to appointments or shopping, and if you need physical therapy or more care, the same staff can help right on site. With a steady rating and positive recognition for being a good place to work, Kirkwood Orange offers a steady home, where seniors can enjoy friendships, activities, and support in a calm, pleasant setting.
