The Seraphim

The Seraphim sits on Cheyenne Street in Costa Mesa and offers assisted living services in a small, quiet setting with only five private studio units, so you get a more personal touch and can know all the staff and housemates well, and they run things in the style of a regular house with shared living spaces like a dining room, TV area, comfortable places to sit, and the owner even makes fresh meals daily, which includes options for low sodium and diabetic diets, so most people can find something good to eat. Staff help residents with everyday tasks-they can help with dressing, bathing, and eating if needed and do laundry, housekeeping, and personal grooming, so things stay clean and you can feel like yourself, and if you need medicine reminders, hearing care, vision help, or dental support, they have those services too, along with help getting to medical appointments and errands, which is something that's hard for lots of folks. They keep the units maintained, include all utilities, and use central air, smoke alarms, and barrier-free features so that seniors who have mobility or safety concerns are looked after, and there's always someone around since the administrator, who is the son of the owner, is involved and knows all the residents by name, and the place keeps a friendly and close atmosphere, often described by others as treating people like family, and staff will even walk with residents during the day and play games like poker, especially with folks who are veterans and enjoy card games. Social events, outings, exercise classes, art projects, and group activities happen regularly as they try to keep everyone active and connected and make sure you're not sitting around feeling lonely. The care plan isn't boxed in; they can adjust to what each person needs, keeping things focused on helping residents feel as independent and comfortable as possible, so even though it's a small place, the support is strong and the experience feels familiar, like a friendly home.
