402 Residential Care Homes near Santa Ana, CA

Last Updated: 2/21/25

Residential care homes in Santa Ana may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Santa Ana care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.

Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Santa Ana, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.

We are also serving Residential Care Home facilities in surrounding neighborhoods like Riverglen, Eastside and South Coast.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Anaheim, Irvine or Dyer.

My dad's only been there about a month and a half. Overall, I'd have to say a four out of five. There were a lot of factors taken into account: location, convenience. I am very happy with their helpfulness and their ability to answer questions Their patients, including my father, are somewhat far along as far as mental decline so activities aren't really an option anyway.
