The Covington Retirement Community in Aliso Viejo provides both Assisted Living and Independent Living, allowing residents to match services to their level of need. For Assisted Living residents, staff can manage wandering behaviors at any hour, address elopement risks, and monitor those who have difficulty sleeping through the night. Clinical oversight covers wound care, oxygen use, specialty diets, and younger adults under 60 who require support. Diabetic residents receive medication oversight whether they are on oral agents, injections, or sliding-scale regimens. The community also states it is prepared to support residents with advanced dementia conditions.
Registered or licensed nurses are on-site around the clock, with an additional nurse on call. Background-checked staff work awake night shifts, and an Activity Director coordinates daily engagement. Security measures include fenced front and rear areas, door alarms, wander-guard technology, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems that alert staff. On-site podiatry is available, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Care aides can provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, or toileting. Transfer capabilities range from standby help with a walker to one- or two-person transfers and bed-bound support, making the building suitable for a wide range of mobility levels.
Apartments vary in size and layout; some offer a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable access, and the option to paint or decorate. Because unit features differ, prospective residents and families should confirm which amenities are included in a specific apartment before signing. Wheelchair accessibility is designed into all common areas to accommodate those with mobility devices.
Dining services include a standard menu, an on-order option at set times, and all-day snacks. Dietary modifications—such as reduced-salt, low-sugar, or texture-altered meals—are accommodated by kitchen staff who work closely with nursing to follow physician orders. Independent Living residents can add medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, linen and personal laundry services, and a monthly meal plan to suit their preferences while maintaining autonomy.
Community amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible pathways, a barber and beauty salon, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and on-site religious services. Transportation is provided, and the campus is also near public transit. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
