Willow View Gardens Assisted Living and Memory Care in Santa Ana, California, provides two levels of care—Assisted Living and Memory Care—each backed by extensive medical support. The team is trained to assist residents who wander during the day or night, who may attempt elopement, or who remain awake through the night. Clinicians oversee wound care, oxygen therapy, special-diet compliance, and diabetic management for residents on oral medications or insulin injections. The community also accepts adults under 60 and is equipped to support advanced dementia conditions. On-site podiatry visits are scheduled regularly. Direct care staff can deliver full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained in multiple transfer methods, including walker and wheelchair support, standby or supervised transfers, and both one-person and two-person lifts.

Safety and oversight measures include pre-employment background checks, an awake night shift, 24-hour on-site staffing, and electronic Personal Emergency Response Systems that alert personnel. Security features—fenced front and rear yards, door alarms, and WanderGuard technology—reduce elopement risk. An activity director coordinates daily programming tailored to cognitive levels, and staff members are on duty around the clock to intervene quickly.

Residences come in several layouts; some have private bathrooms and in-room cable service, though not every unit includes every feature. Meals are prepared to order three times a day with snacks available at any hour, and the culinary team modifies menus to accommodate physician-ordered or preference-based diets. For independent-living residents, medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and laundry service are available to help maintain autonomy without compromising safety.

Smoking is permitted outdoors, 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. The property is wheelchair-accessible and offers an on-site barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, internet access, communal gardens, and regularly scheduled religious services. Scheduled transportation is provided, and the campus is close to public transit for additional travel flexibility.
