Learn More About Care Homes in Costa Mesa, CA

 

Known for its innovative outdoor shopping spots and public art, Costa Mesa has developed into a thriving suburban community with plenty of all-ages entertainment. It’s also home to the Orange County Fair, which draws millions of visitors every summer. And given the city’s prime Southern California location and pristine weather, Costa Mesa residents have easy access to nearby beaches year round.

In Costa Mesa, residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.
