Care Types in This Table AL (Assisted Living): Housing with help for daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, without 24-hour skilled nursing. NH (Nursing Home): 24/7 skilled nursing care for residents with complex, ongoing medical needs. SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility): Round-the-clock nursing care, often for recovery after surgery, injury, or illness. MC (Memory Care): Secured, specialized care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia. RESC (Residential Care): Personal care and daily-living support in a smaller, more intimate residential setting. IL (Independent Living): Community living with dining, activities, and transportation for active seniors who need little personal care. HOS (Hospice Care): Comfort-focused care for those with a terminal illness, prioritizing quality of life over treatment. CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community): A campus with multiple care levels so residents can age in place without moving. SC (Senior Care):
City and state of the facility. Used for mapping and state-average comparisons.
Licensed bed capacity (maximum allowed). Not the same as how many beds are currently filled.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
Indicates whether residents are allowed to have pets in the facility.
Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
A complaint visit is an unannounced on-site visit by California's Community Care Licensing Division to investigate a complaint about the community, filed by a resident, a family member, staff or anyone else. A visit means a complaint was looked into, not that it was proven: the state may find it substantiated, inconclusive or unfounded. Fewer visits is better.
Count of California state "Type A" citations — the state's most serious citation category (immediate or serious harm to residents), from California state inspection data.
Number of years the company has been in operation.
Reported or derived occupancy for the facility—typically how fully licensed capacity is utilized. Compare across peers in the same market.
Name of the licensed owner, operator, or managing entity as filed with the state. Useful for grouping facilities under the same organization.
Housing or bed configuration options (e.g. studio, shared), often from facility-reported amenities and licensing details.

Overview of Arcadia Retirement Village

Arcadia Retirement Village is an assisted living community with 200 beds, making it a larger setting with more residents and staff and usually more programming. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing and medication while residents maintain private living spaces.

The community opened in 2015 and is operated by Arcadia Operations, with Nirjara Acharya serving as administrator. A Walk Score of 83 places the area in the very walkable band, where most errands can be done on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently. Scheduled transportation covers medical appointments, errands and outings for residents who need a ride.

Chef-prepared meals are served restaurant-style, and walking paths and landscaped grounds provide designated outdoor routes. Residents also have access to a salon and barber, fitness center, theatre, library, chapel and prayer room, billiards lounge, happy hour pub and game room for grooming, exercise, entertainment and leisure. Respite care supports a short stay while a usual caregiver travels or recovers, so Arcadia Retirement Village may be a good fit for a resident who needs help with daily tasks and for a family seeking short-term support during a caregiver’s absence.

Transportation to doctors’ offices and occasional shopping trips is provided, giving residents support for those outings. Local church services are available. Lynn Hughes serves as the administrator.

Overview of Vivante Newport Mesa

What Vivante Newport Mesa offers in Costa Mesa, CA, is assisted living, hospice care, memory care, and respite care. Assisted living lets a resident keep private living space intact while staff take over bathing, dressing, and medication. Memory care keeps watch within a secured setting where wandering is a risk, and hospice care is comfort care as life ends. Respite lends a family short-term cover during a caregiver’s trip or recovery.

That makes it a match for daily assistance, for supervised memory care, or for a caregiver in the family needing a temporary break. With 430 beds, it’s a large community, with more residents and staff than a small home would have. Medicare is the payer accepted, and it applies to eligible short-term skilled stays that come after a hospital admission, not to a permanent move.

The amenities include a pool, a salon, a theater for movies, an arts and crafts space, and a courtyard with walking paths. The Vitality Program and fitness programs cover activity and exercise. Rehabilitation services mean therapy is available on site.

Dog owners get an on-site dog park, and pets in general are permitted. Walk Score rates the area very walkable at 71, and most errands can be done on foot, by car, or without a car. Robert Fiorentino II administers the community, which Vivante Westside LLC and Integral Senior Living Mgt operate.
