Overview of Morningside of Fullerton

Morningside of Fullerton offers nursing home, assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Fullerton, CA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while the resident keeps an apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision, nursing home care provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock, and independent living provides private living with community services but no daily care. Having these care levels in one community may suit a resident whose needs could grow over time without requiring a move to a different community.

The community has 712 beds and offers one bedroom, two bedroom, and three bedroom apartments. A one bedroom apartment provides a single bedroom layout, while two and three bedroom apartments can suit couples moving together or residents who need additional bedrooms. The starting entrance fee is $400,000, so joining the community requires planning for a one time payment at that level.

Residents can use a heated saltwater pool and whirlpool, along with pickleball courts, a short game golf course, and a putting green. A woodworking shop, garden center, art studio, fitness center, and spa provide additional places for hobbies, exercise, and personal care. Fitness classes, health lectures, and more than 200 activities and classes each month give residents scheduled options for exercise, learning, and recreation. Morningside Sp Associates, Gp Of Corecare Iii operates the community.
