Ohana Care in Mission Viejo is a residential care home that supports residents with a wide range of clinical needs, including those who wander, present elopement risks, exhibit combative or other behavioral issues, stay awake overnight, or require wound care, oxygen management, or specialized diets. The team is equipped to care for diabetics on oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale regimens and can accommodate adults under 60 as well as individuals living with moderate dementia. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff, and a nurse is on call around the clock to oversee medications, monitor conditions, and coordinate physician orders.
In addition to its clinical depth, the community maintains background-checked caregivers on an awake night shift, uses door alarms and a fenced rear area to reduce exit-seeking, and accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses. On-site services such as podiatry help minimize outside appointments. Direct care staff provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and can handle transfers ranging from standby to two-person or bed-bound moves when walkers or wheelchairs are not enough.
Resident rooms may include a private bathroom, basic furnishings, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate for personalization, though not every accommodation has every feature. Floor plans are designed to be wheelchair accessible and close to common areas to shorten travel distances for those with mobility challenges.
Meals are offered both from a set menu and on an on-order basis, with snacks available throughout the day. The kitchen team manages physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or texture-modified plans, ensuring residents receive proper nutrition while taking their preferences into account.
Amenities include outdoor smoking areas, internet access, and full wheelchair accessibility throughout the building. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and errands, helping residents stay connected to local resources.
