Serving the Laguna Woods community
Laguna Woods is one of the country’s best-known 55-and-older communities, anchored by the sprawling Laguna Woods Village. That demographic shapes the care residents need: late-life depression, grief and bereavement, the isolation that can follow retirement or the loss of a spouse, and anxiety that interacts with other medical conditions. Our facility is about five minutes away, and MemorialCare Saddleback Medical Center — a hospital the Laguna Woods community itself helped found in 1974 — is the area’s primary hospital.
We see adults from neighborhoods across the area, including Laguna Woods Village, The Towers, Gate communities, The Manors. Familiar local landmarks near our service area include Laguna Woods Village, Clubhouse Seven, Globe Theatre , and more.
