Senior Living Newport Mesa

There are many factors that contribute to the decision to move into an assisted living community.
One of the most common factors is loneliness. Perhaps a senior has lost their spouse and is feeling isolated in their own home. This can, of course, lead to depression and a lack of motivation.
Maybe a senior is having trouble carrying out everyday living tasks, including bathing, dressing, personal care, showering, and taking care of the household.
Perhaps meal preparation has become more difficult, and eating consistent and nutritious meals has become a challenge. Perhaps grocery shopping has become too difficult.
Sometimes, medications can be forgotten, which can become dangerous for individuals who rely on them regularly.
It’s not uncommon for residents to move to an assisted living facility after a fall when there are serious safety issues that living alone can cause.
Many of our residents move to Vivante before they require assisted living because they want to enjoy all of the incredible amenities and activities offered within the community. Seniors don’t want to spend their retired years bogged down with the everyday tasks of managing a home or feeling isolated.

Vivante on the Coast offers the widest range of amenities for residents, including an indoor saltwater pool, two state-of-the-art fitness centers, a Pilates and yoga room, a Bocce ball court, a shuffleboard court, a card and game room, multiple lounges, two restaurants, two cafes, two bars, a salon, two art rooms, a dog park, a grand entertainment pavilion and large outdoor courtyard spaces with barbecues, raised beds, a Jacuzzi, and so much more.
Many senior living communities only offer a handful of amenities, but Vivante strives to always go above and beyond. The Vivante living cost incorporates full access to all of these amenities at a cost on par with the rest of the market.

California is one of the most pet-friendly states in terms of assisted living, senior living, senior housing, and assisted living facilities. Many retirement communities, including Vivante, welcome elderly pet owners and their beloved animal companions.
The policy for pets can vary by community. At Vivante, we offer dog walking and also have a dog park available for our canine residents.
We haven’t forgotten about our feline family members and welcome residents with cats, too! We understand that pets are a part of the family, and they are welcome to move in with their owners when they choose Vivante.

There are several factors to consider when choosing an assisted living community. During your research, be sure to visit each one several times during various times of the day. Ask to enjoy a meal in their restaurant or dining room. If possible, speak with some of the current residents and inquire about what their experience has been like living in that community. Are there activities taking place? Are there parties, happy hours, and live entertainment to enjoy? Are family members visiting and included in the daily happenings of the community? Speak with some of the caregivers and staff to see how they enjoy working there.
Many communities also offer a respite stay, which is a temporary stay in a furnished apartment for 30 days or more. This type of respite stay gives potential residents the opportunity to fully experience the community before committing to moving in full-time. They are able to sample the food over an extended period of time and meet some of the current residents living in the community.
Individuals can also participate in daily activities, entertainment, and outings to see if they’re compatible with the lifestyle offered by the community.
Another great source of information can be reviews on Yelp and other platforms. Oftentimes, family members or residents use these sites as a way to share information about their experiences with the community.
Moving to an assisted living community can feel like a monumental step for people who have lived on their own for so many years. It’s an enormous decision to make and one that should not be taken lightly. We hope this guide has given you more information about assisted living and housing options in Costa Mesa and helped you better understand the factors involved in selecting the right community for you.

These care facilities are located in single-family residences. Typically, they have ten or fewer residents living within them.
These homes can be an affordable option for many seniors, as they include all of the added care that residents need. These homes are great for residents who need a higher level of care and personalized attention on a daily basis.
Residential home care includes all meals and necessary care but does not offer the amenities that an assisted living community would provide. This is also a good choice for residents who prefer a smaller, home-like environment instead of an apartment or suite within a larger community.
