The Cottages 10 in Mission Viejo operates as a residential care home and is equipped to handle a wide range of health conditions. Staff members are trained to support residents who wander, have behavioral issues, require wound care, use oxygen, need specialized diets, are younger than 60, or manage diabetes with oral medications. Care plans also encompass advanced dementia conditions, with structured oversight aimed at preserving safety and routine.

Around-the-clock supervision is provided by an RN or LPN, and every employee undergoes background checks. An awake night-shift team complements additional night staffing, while door alarms, a fenced rear area, WanderGuard, and pull-cord alerts help reduce exit-seeking risks. On-site podiatry visits minimize the need for outside appointments. Residents who need full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, or toileting receive hands-on support, and the community accommodates walkers, wheelchairs, standby aid, one-person and two-person transfers, full Hoyer lifts, and bed-bound care.

Private and semi-private rooms are available, and some include an en-suite bathroom, basic furnishings, cable service, and the option for residents to paint or decorate. Because layouts and features vary, not every unit contains every amenity, so it is best to confirm during a tour which options are open.

Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet dietary requirements, with modifications for conditions such as diabetes or low-sodium needs. Snacks are offered throughout the day, and staff monitor intake for those who need assistance or supervision during meals.

Amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, internet access, communal gardens, and on-site religious services. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
