Autumn Meadows is a small senior living community in Laguna Niguel, California, with just six beds, so residents tend to get to know each other and the place feels quieter than a big center, and people can pick from shared rooms, studios, or one-bedroom apartments, all fully furnished and coming with private bathrooms and kitchenettes, which makes it comfortable, and the roll-in showers and wheelchair accessible features help people who need it. The facility follows a social model of care, where residents are encouraged to stay independent, but staff step in to help whenever there's a need, and there are two caregivers for every six people during the day, though caregivers don't stay awake at night, so extra help may be needed then.
Staff at Autumn Meadows provide round-the-clock assistance with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication management; they monitor health, respond to emergencies, and can arrange for speech, physical, and occupational therapy, as well as a podiatrist and dentist visits, and they support residents with special diets or mobility issues, including those with Parkinson's disease or incontinence, plus they can give bathroom reminders and even spoon feed if necessary, so folks at different care levels can find support. The care options cover assisted living, memory care, non-ambulatory support, independent living, nursing home style support, and the residential care home model, all under California license #306001011, which means the place is inspected regularly and follows the right rules for senior care.
Residents get three meals a day, made with organic ingredients, and help is always there with dining if someone needs a hand, and the food's known to be quite good and clean-a detail families seem to remember-plus snacks are available. Housekeeping, laundry, linen changes, and trash emptying are just basic services here, so people don't have to worry about chores or repairs. Activities happen daily, with choices like exercise classes, arts and crafts, outings, movie theater showings, games in the large living room, pet therapy, and trips out to enjoy the local community; there's both indoor and outdoor space, with a pleasant yard full of fruit trees and even a private dining section, a bistro, and a game room, which gives residents options for socializing or quiet time.
The facility has air conditioning, WiFi, cable, and telephone service included, so people can stay connected or watch their favorite programs, and there's a wellness center, beauty and barber services onsite, and a friendly atmosphere that feels less like a medical center and more like a family home. Residents can have their own cars and park on site, and the facility also offers free transportation for doctor's visits and errands, which gives families some peace of mind. Autumn Meadows welcomes both male and female residents and takes pets with certain rules, with no smoking allowed inside, and the community feels clean and well-kept throughout.
Specialized care for dementia and memory loss is available, and there's always a doctor on call as well as nurses on staff, so health concerns are handled quickly. Home health services can be arranged, and care plans are made for each person, which means people get what they need without extra fuss. Autumn Meadows has a published price average of $4,840 per month and holds a four-star rating for overall excellence, noted for its food quality, cleanliness, and friendly environment, right at 29751 Ana Maria Ln, in a peaceful area of Laguna Niguel, giving it a stable and recognized place in the local senior care community.
