San Clemente Villas in San Clemente, California, is a senior living community that provides several types of care, including Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing, and Continuing Care Retirement Community services, so people can get more help as their needs change, and there are even short-term stays available for those who only need support for a little while, which means people don't have to move again when needs shift. The community has a variety of floor plans like studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, with some offering private balconies and ocean views, and they're planning to have newly remodeled apartments and refreshed common areas available in summer 2025, which sounds like there will be new and updated places to choose from. Rooms come with kitchenettes, WiFi and cable TV, individually controlled air conditioning, and safety features like emergency alert systems, plus accessible bathrooms with walk-in showers and grab bars. People here can enjoy services like housekeeping, trash, laundry, general transportation, and scheduled shopping trips, so daily chores get a bit easier, and there are concierge services to help with day-to-day tasks. There are many amenities to use right on campus such as a heated swimming pool, hot tub spa, salon, barbershop, Sky Lounge with panoramic ocean views, movie theater, computer room, garden with a water fountain, and outside patio areas, and people who like reading can use the well-stocked library with comfy seating and a fireplace. Nutrition seems to be important, too, with chef-prepared meals in elegant dining rooms and menu options for diabetic, low-fat, low-salt, or vegetarian diets, and laundry and housekeeping shorten people's to-do lists. The grounds feature lush greenery, a courtyard, refreshed poolside retreats, a coffee shop, and pets are welcome because of the pet-friendly policies.
Memory Care and Assisted Living units are customized to different needs, and the Memory Care area has its own dining spaces, living rooms, fitness center, and salon. Care is relationship-based, so the staff starts by learning about each resident's story and then adapts care to fit unique preferences with support for those living with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia. There are specialized therapies available, like physical therapy and rehabilitation, and even a nurse on staff part-time, so people can recover from illness or injury right there. The staff is on duty 24 hours a day for added peace of mind, with security features like a gated entrance, modern apartment locks, and emergency alert systems throughout the property. Residents can enjoy a maintenance-free style of living, with services that handle home repairs, and amenities aimed at comfort, social connection, and health-including fitness and wellness programs, on-site pharmacy, and regular cultural outings. Social life stays lively here, with daily activities, planned events, games, entertainment, and wellness programs, all held in indoor lounges or outdoor spaces with lots of natural light and sea air. There are scheduled transportation services for outings, shopping, or medical appointments, which makes it easier to get to places nearby, since the community is close to local shopping, dining, and medical facilities.
Each apartment comes with all utilities included except for phone, and the whole layout is made for accessibility, with wood-style floors, natural light, patio or balcony options, and space to move around. The facility belongs to MBK Community, and payment options are flexible with credit cards and checks accepted, and a community fee of $5,000 at move-in. People who just want a social environment without daily support can choose Independent Living, while others can receive extra help with bathing, grooming, medication, or more involved support as health needs increase. Some private assisted living studios have a day bed, desk, dresser, recliner, and TV, and Memory Care suites offer private bedrooms, comfortable living areas, and warm decor. There's always plenty happening, and residents can keep up with friends or relax by the ocean, take part in guided activities, or spend quiet time in the garden among the greenery.
