Astoria At Corona Del Mar operates as a residential care home with a strong medical profile intended for older adults who need daily oversight and residents under 60 who require comparable help. The staff is trained to manage wandering behaviors day or night, combative or other behavioral challenges, sleep reversal, and a range of diabetic needs from oral medications to sliding-scale insulin. Wound care, oxygen management, and specialized diets are available, and the team is equipped to support individuals living with moderate dementia. A licensed nurse is on call around the clock to coordinate these services and to respond to changes in condition.
Additional safeguards include background-checked caregivers, an awake night shift, fenced outdoor areas, and door alarms to reduce elopement risk. On-site podiatry visits limit the need for off-site appointments, and caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Mobility support spans walker and wheelchair oversight through two-person and full Hoyer transfers, including care for bed-bound residents. The goal is to maintain safety while minimizing unnecessary hospital visits.
Private and semi-private rooms come furnished, and residents may paint or decorate to personalize their space. Cable service is available in many rooms, but not every accommodation offers every feature, so families should verify room specifics during a tour.
Meals are prepared on a set menu, with an option to order alternates, and snacks are accessible throughout the day. The kitchen can modify textures, calories, and nutrients to meet physician-ordered diets, including low-sodium, diabetic, and other specialized plans.
Residents have access to outdoor smoking areas, community-wide internet, and fully wheelchair-accessible common spaces. Scheduled transportation is available, and the property is near public transit stops for family visits or off-site appointments. Pets are allowed, and it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
