    Beautiful setting, attentive staff, limited

    I placed a loved one here and, overall, I'm glad I did. The newly renovated, relaxed-luxury setting - olive trees, walking paths, shaded patios with BBQs, dog-friendly pub, on-site chapel and great restaurant - is beautiful and calming. Staff like Nona, Santos and Sales Director Kaitlyn Rosen were warm, professional and made the move-in seamless; communication with family and activities are strong. It's expensive but worth it for the atmosphere and attentive caregivers; I would return without hesitation for that. Caveat: this is not a medical model - staffing is thin at times (agency temps/turnover), documentation/protocols were inconsistent, and there have been safety/hygiene concerns in memory care, so set clear expectations about clinical limits.

    About Clearwater at North Tustin

    Clearwater at North Tustin offers seniors independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and continuing care retirement community services all in one setting, so people can get the support that fits their needs as they age and sometimes you've got folks who need a little help and some who need a bit more, and here they can stay on the same campus. The community can hold up to 124 residents and it's licensed by the state of California as License #306006040, and is also recognized in U.S. News & World Report's 2025 "Best Senior Living" ratings, which people notice these days. Clearwater at North Tustin has trained staff that work closely with families and doctors to create personalized care plans, which means everyone gets the attention they need, whether it's help with daily tasks, managing medication, or providing more complex nursing care, and memory care programming has activities and environments set up especially for those with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, so those folks are looked after by people who know what they're doing.

    The community provides 24-hour supervision and is wheelchair accessible and friendly for people who need help getting around, and there's plenty of spaces where folks can enjoy the outdoors, like walking paths, patios with BBQ grills, shaded places to sit, lots of greenery including olive trees, and there's a courtyard where you can take in a stage view, too. The dining room is called beautiful and then there's a dog-friendly pub, so residents can relax with their pets, and if someone wants to join group exercise, there's a fitness center for that. Residents have access to a chapel for spiritual needs and can sit outside on patio dining areas, and sometimes you see folks out in the lounge areas in the afternoon sun just taking it easy.

    Clearwater at North Tustin covers short-term stays for those needing care for a little while, and offers help and resources for families and caregivers regarding senior living planning; they've got amenities and design features that try to make you feel at home with a relaxed but somewhat luxurious atmosphere, and the team is focused on giving support and making communication easy for everyone involved. The whole campus falls under Clearwater Living® and is near Orange County Global Medical Center, so medical help isn't far if needed, which often brings peace of mind. The community encourages independence while giving help with anything from daily tasks to more specialized medical needs and memory support, all through programs and services designed for seniors, and they do tours so visitors can see for themselves what daily life looks like.
