Tustin Ranch Villa I is a small board and care home licensed for up to six residents, sitting in a quiet part of Santa Ana, California, and giving seniors daily support that fits their needs, whether they want independent or assisted living, memory care, high acuity care, or even hospice care. The house feels lived in and comfortable, with private and semi-private rooms that residents can decorate with their own furniture, and pets like dogs and cats are welcome if residents can care for them, which gives the place a friendly, homey feel you don't always find. The caregivers, including a Registered Nurse who checks regularly on the residents, are known for being kind and making sure everyone gets the help they need with bathing, dressing, toileting, eating, transferring, and medication management, so folks who need more help are looked after, while those who want more independence still get to make their own choices.
The home offers nutritious, home-cooked meals three times a day, with special diets for conditions like diabetes or hypertension, and there are snacks and flexible meal times for people with different schedules or needs. There's a club room, walking paths, and gardens, so folks can get outside and enjoy some fresh air, and inside there are recreation rooms, music, creative activities, and scheduled programs like music therapy, pet therapy, movie nights, and games, which help people stay busy and make friends. The community has emergency alert systems in place, 24-hour supervision, strong medication oversight, and coordinates with outside healthcare providers when needed for things like doctor's visits or extra services.
Housekeeping and laundry happen regularly, and each room has a phone so residents can call family or friends whenever they like, and there's free transportation to doctor's appointments, shopping, or faith services, which helps keep everyone connected and active in the community. Visitors are welcome, and the staff tries to make everyone feel at home with planned events, group dining, and opportunities for residents to join clubs or just relax together. With its clubhouse, pet-friendly rules, golf course nearby, garden spaces, and thoughtful on-site activities, Tustin Ranch Villa I makes daily life steady and supportive. The staff encourages independence whenever possible, while always being ready to lend a hand with anything residents need, and the atmosphere is relaxed, clean, and filled with small personal touches that remind people they're part of a close community.
