New Assisted Living and Memory Care to Open in SJ Capistrano

Construction is well underway on The Orchards, the new assisted living and memory care community located adjacent to the Reata Glen life plan community in Rancho Mission Viejo, California. Scheduled to open in October, The Orchards is now accepting reservations for move-ins from members of the general public. The Orchards is located at 1 Amistad Dr. in Rancho Mission Viejo near the Sendero neighborhood.

Assisted living at the community will offer 58 apartments, most with stunning views of the coastal foothills of southern Orange County. A “Family Fun Zone” intergenerational room to encourage family visits will include air hockey and other games, TVs, and NFL football parties on the weekends. Assisted living will also feature a two-story, grand living room with a fireplace, media room, private dining room for family celebrations, a library, conference room, fitness center and restaurant-style dining. Outdoor amenities include a courtyard, trellis, bocce court and water feature. WiFi will be available throughout the entire building.

Full-time wellness nurses, trained caregivers and medication technicians will be on hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In light of the coronavirus, The Orchards will have a single point of entry for staff to ensure the health and safety of both residents and employees. All staff will follow strict health and safety measures according to CDC, state and local guidelines.

The Orchards will also have a separate, single point of entry for all visitors, including family members and vendors.

In addition to assisted living, The Orchards will have a separate, secured 20-room memory care neighborhood called The Gardens. The Gardens will offer private rooms with programs designed to meet the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual needs of residents with dementia. Outside amenities include a garden and a courtyard with televisions as well as an indoor family lounge for quiet time.

Each memory care resident will have a designated caregiver. A wellness nurse and medication technician will also be available 24 hours a day.

In addition to assisted living and memory care, The Orchards will open a new, 71-bed skilled nursing facility in early 2021. Both private and semi-private rooms will be available.

The Orchards is now accepting refundable deposits for assisted living and memory care as part of its Harvest Club. Early depositors will have first choice of apartment units and a rate lock until 2023. For more information, please call 949-545-2260 or go to www.visitorchards.com.
