My father has been living at Sunrise of Mission Viejo for nearly four years. The facility itself is…read morehomey, comfortable, and clean, and the cost is lower than most of the other facilities I toured. But the real stars are the people who work there. The staff is kind, caring, and immensely helpful. Most importantly, they treat the elderly residents with respect. I'm especially grateful to Tisset Domingo, the Executive Director. She goes above and beyond for the residents and their families. If you are considering an assisted living facility, look no further!

My girlfriend's 95 year old mother moved into this facility last week, and has generally had…read morepositive comments to report. This despite an ongoing plumbing problem that has plagued the facility for the past several days. The room was nicely cleaned prior to move in, with a new refrigerator and microwave put into operation, and tested. The move itself went smoothly and the tv/wifi service seems to be working satisfactorily. Food quality and service is reported as adequate, but nothing more. Finding a reasonably priced retirement home isn't easy in 2025. As an example, Freedom Village requires a cash outlay of over one hundred thousand dollars and monthly fees exceeding three thousand dollars for a tiny studio apartment. Meridian requires no huge upfront cost. In the case of my friend's mother, an 850:square foot one bedroom apartment with a view is under $4500:per month. Transportation to nearby shops is available, a hair salon is on the premises, and exercise classes are available. So far, no complaints.

I do not have any other Yelp accounts, only my Yelp elite account and it is 100% the truth. Perhaps you were thinking of my Google review but those are two separate review platforms. And you are not able to stop me from spreading verbal word of mouth (based on our experience) which I do. I will never forgive Meridian for taking an advantage of our family in crisis. I questioned over and over how the employees (involved) can sleep at night. I sure couldn't!!

I'm a Realtor and both of my elderly clients moved in here within days of each other. I've witnessed a loving, caring and very professional staff, and would love it if my own 88 y/o Mom lived here. Truly. The activities are plentiful and the grounds are beautifully maintained. It is an EXCEPTIONAL place for our aging friends + family to not only live, but to THRIVE in their Golden Years! I had personal contact with their sales department (wanting to understand the move-in fees/etc) to the maintenance crew (hanging items & setting up TVs in the new apartment) to the health team (nurse & others) who visited day one to offer support & health information, to the resident manager making sure everything was to their liking...It was First Class!

We transferred both mom and dad over 3 years ago. He was already on hospice and she was just ready for assisted living. Thus, they moved into 2 separate rooms as we knew he would predecease her soon. What a breath of fresh air! Caring, professional, long-term management and staff. Beautiful and spotless facility inside and out. Wonderful activities and special events. Amazing dining experience. My dad boasted to friends and family that he felt like he was at home. He loved to sit by the fireplace and read. Mom loved bingo and scrabble with friends. And, when each of my parents health began to fail, Aegis was quick to recommend extra care and eventually hospice, letting them live out their life and die peacefully.

My mother in law recently moved to Aegis and is very happy there. Was not an easy decision to make,…read moresince she is still able bodied and of sound mind. People tend to think that assisted living is for people who are ill. She is 96 and the upkeep on her home was just getting to be too difficult. Aegis provided relief from that but more importantly has given her fun activities and new friends. The staff there is wonderful, friendly and can help if health issues do arise. They communicate consistently, provide a welcoming and pleasant environment, and have many daily activities and weekly outings. There are separate areas for memory care patients and assisted living, and the grounds and rooms are really lovely, I'm writing this because if you have an elderly loved one considering a move such as this, I wouldn't hesitate to have them move here. The socialization is a huge thing and I think her days are much happier than when she was living alone, even if she doesn't need much assistance at this time. Was definitely the right move and better sooner than later. Thanks to all the staff at Aegis for providing a great "home" for our seniors.

She was always treated with respect and dignity and genuine interest in her daily life. The ladies of the front desk continually smile for the residents and their families and guests.

I recommend Aegis with all my heart for their kind care.

After evaluating a few places in south Orange County, the family decided to move her into Aegis of Laguna Niguel. The property was very nice and clean, rooms a perfect size and the philosophy to focus on enrichment & stimulation via various activities aligned perfectly with what we were looking for in an assisted living home. To ease the transition from home the team invited my mom and step dad to numerous events around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Every time mom entered the home she would smile as staff and residents would say "hi". Mom was set to move in early January but it became clear by mid-December we needed to move her in earlier, which Aegis quickly pivoted to helping make happen. One day after we had furnished her room in late December and one day before we moved in she fell at home and fractured her hip. Several days after her fall the family made the difficult decision to suspend all interventional treatment and begin end of life care. Mom was transported to Aegis of LN to her room and would spend the last days of her life there in hospice care. While the entire saga was very sad the family can't say enough of the ENTIRE (!!) team at Aegis of LN that helped us from beginning to end. They seamlessly pivoted from welcoming a new long term resident to one that would stay but a brief time. Their coordination with us, the hospital and hospice was simply amazing. Many thanks to Kurt and Marti for introducing us to the facility along with Ingrid, Andrew, Aileen, Jacqueline for their support and care...and everyone else that touched our lives in those last few days. We could see through these interactions that this is more than a job but a calling for all of you. If this is how you treat a loved one in your care for a week we can't imagine what you would have done for mom longer term. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

PLEASE READ THE EDIT BELOW. So far, I'm not very happy with this assisted living. My grandma moved…read morein on Tuesday to an apartment with no cable TV, despite having the TV ready to go the weekend before her move in. I've visited or called every day to see if they've gotten her cable setup and they appear to be dragging their feet. There is a huge lack of communication between management, maintenance, and front desk staff that delays tasks and doesn't communicate progress with residents or their families. The other day a front desk staff members started clipping her nails while answering my questions with vague answers and "I'll leave a note" for staff who seems to always leave before the end of the day. I can't seem to get straight answers from anyone and I rarely get calls or texts back when I'm promised any. Overall, I'm frustrated with the move in and hope to see some changes in this facility soon. I'll be looking at alternative options if things don't change soon. EDIT: Katy from CSL gave me a call and we had a great chat about some of the frustrations I had regarding the delayed cable installation and communication issues. She also was able to clarify some of my questions and ease my biggest concerns/worries. She is such a sweet and caring woman, and I'm glad we were able to talk. I am very hopeful that things will go more smoothly now that some of the initial move-in bumps have been handled.

Secondly, you probably already know that almost all of these facilities suck and are many flavors of sketchy. NOT this place. The Orchards gives off a whole different and positive vibe from the start when you walk in the main entrance. Everything is clean, actually clean, even the patient bathrooms, closets, behind the doors, everywhere is clean. The ratio of staff to patients is SO MUCH better than other facilities my family member has been too. I believe there's maximum 50 patients. The bedrooms are next level. They have 4-5 options ranging from a shared room with two people, to completely private with your own bathroom and living room/lounge area, obviously at a higher price point. But even the shared bedrooms are awesome as they have a closet/cabinet that divides the room, not just a sheet. Makes it so much better to have that division. ***Most importantly the Rehab staff is AMAZING!!!*** The amount of effort and thought they put into the individuals rehabilitation program is far greater than any other facility we have been to. They aren't trying to milk the process and allow people to just sit doing non productive activities just so they can bill for it. They're constantly assessing and evolving the game plan as they go. 10/10 best team of therapists. hands down. bar none. The staff communicates extremely clearly and reach out if they have pertinent info in regards to my family members health, progress, and well being. Which is something I've never experienced, usually I have to track people down and it's like pulling teeth to get answers or info. The food is good, and comparably to other places it's the best menu I've seen. Don't get me wrong it's not gourmet living but they have solid options. When you see a plate of food, it actually looks a cooked meal, not school lunch slop. They also have off menu items like sandwiches and what not if your family member is a picky eater. If you got this far in my Mega novel of a review then you obviously are deep in the process and looking for answers. Again, sending you all my good energy and if you can get your family member into The Orchards, don't hesitate and end up in another depressing SH**hole, pull the trigger and give your family member the best chance at success. Much love -Rich

Every single staff member was wonderful and truly went above and beyond. Sara K, Elizabeth (Liz), and Dee were exceptional--compassionate, attentive, and always making sure my mom felt cared for and supported. Heather, Fiona, and Lisa were equally amazing in PT and OT; their expertise, encouragement, and dedication played a huge role in her recovery. Our only regret is that we can't return on a private-pay basis to continue PT/OT, because my mom left stronger than when she arrived. Thank you to the entire Orchards team for your kindness, professionalism, and exceptional care. We highly recommend The Orchards. Thank you again!
