St. Simon Home in Yorba Linda operates as a licensed residential care home and is equipped to manage a range of medical needs. The team can look after residents who wander or elope, are awake throughout the night, require wound care or oxygen therapy, follow special diets, or manage diabetes with oral medications. Caregivers are trained to support residents living with moderate dementia and can accommodate individuals younger than 60 when appropriate.

Additional safeguards include staff who have completed background checks, 24-hour on-site coverage, an activity director, and a night shift that remains on the premises while residents sleep. Doors are alarmed, the rear area is fenced, and personal care—bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting—can be provided with full assistance. Transfer help ranges from simple standby to one- or two-person transfers, as well as support for walkers, wheelchairs, and bed-bound residents.

Private and semi-private rooms come furnished, and many allow residents to paint or decorate to their taste; cable service is available in select units. Not all accommodations offer every feature, so prospective residents should confirm individual room details during a tour.

Daily meals follow a set menu with attention to doctor-ordered diet modifications, and snacks are available between meal times. Staff monitor intake for residents on special diets and assist with feeding when necessary.

Amenities include outdoor smoking areas, pet-friendly policies, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, and scheduled transportation, with nearby public transit as an alternative. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
