Senior Living Community For The Eastern Star in California sits in North Orange County where you see green lawns and have scenic views of both the beach and the mountains so that's a nice spot if you enjoy the outdoors and fresh air and you've got these big garden patios that make the whole place feel open and relaxing, and for folks who like to keep busy there's always something happening because they've got a strong activities program with both planned day trips and plenty of resident-run events like crafts, learning discussions, exercise, and gardening, plus there are fitness sessions and a woodworking shop, so you'll find groups for sewing, ceramics, art, and games like Bingo or pool, and the game room's got a dart board and Wii too which keeps things lively. Now, when it comes to eating, you won't have to worry because they serve fresh, chef-prepared meals every day with vegetarian dishes, a salad bar, options for diabetes or low-sodium diets, and even a full continental breakfast each morning, and if you're someone who likes treats, they've got a 24-hour ice-cream parlor that's open whenever you're in the mood.
The dining rooms include a main hall with an outdoor patio and a separate wellness dining space if someone needs a little more help, plus there's a personal dining room if you want your guests over, and speaking of guests, family can stay in guest rooms for a small fee so you don't miss out on visits. Accommodations come in several shapes and sizes because they've got one- and two-bedroom suites plus studios, all including bathrooms, kitchenettes, private patios, cable TV, and WiFi, and everything's kept fresh with regular housekeeping and maintenance. Walking around, you'll find outdoor paths, gardens, a chapel for those who want spiritual services, community theater for movies, a salon for hair or nails, a gym for physical therapy, and a wellness center, not to mention areas for computers, a library, and places to just sit and talk. There's a reception and concierge open every day, laundry and dry cleaning, and staff trained for both daily support and memory care, with nurses on site up to sixteen hours a day and always someone to help twenty-four hours if needed, and if someone needs more, they've got skilled nursing, physical rehab, wound care, or medication management.
For those dealing with memory problems like Alzheimer's or dementia there's a dedicated 17-bed Memory Neighborhood in a secure area, with specialized support and programming tailored to those needs. Care goes from help with bathing or dressing to meals and medication, all following a person-centered approach. Community life aims to be as friendly as possible, supported by joyful and caring staff, and pets like dogs, cats, or even fish are welcome under policy. People here can get rides to appointments with two community buses or one-on-one rides, and there's scheduled transportation for outings or errands. As a nonprofit, the facility's roots go back with the Eastern Star group which values kindness, charity, and truth, and the place is licensed under California state rules with a capacity for 76 residents, and Care.com has verified its status recently. It's an RCFE, offers CCRC-continuing care options, and provides support for independent living, assisted living, memory care, and even short-term nursing, so nearly any need can be met at some level, and the idea is to make it feel safe and like home, with enough to do and friendly faces around.
