Orange Assisted Living

The city of Orange is named after its most successful crop, discovered in 1873 after much trial and error by the local farming community. Only seven short years later, the town’s tourist boom began with the construction of their first railroad depot.

Competitive fares between rival rail companies attracted settlers and visitors to Orange, and over the passing years the area became known less for its citrus fruit and more popular for its proximity to major Southern California attractions.

With a population of less than 150,000, Orange proudly calls itself “a major city with small town ambiance.” Orange assisted living residents will find both modernization and nostalgia in a city that has chosen to embrace its history and preserve its Old Towne structures.

Orange Recreation

Orange senior living residents can enjoy the flower gardens or play a quiet game of chess on the boards provided for them in Pitcher Park, a serene respite that prohibits all rolling locomotion - with the exception of wheelchairs, of course. For a more active encounter with nature, your loved one may take a train ride or visit the small Orange County Zoo within the 477-acre boundaries of Irvine Park.

The city of Orange is known for her innovative shopping experiences. The Block at Orange is an imaginative, open-air promenade which features both shops and movie theaters. The Village at Orange is a full-service modern mall, whereas Old Towne Orange Historic District offers shoppers antiques and the country’s oldest operating soda fountain.

Orange Activities

For appreciators of culture, the area surrounding Orange boasts six art museums, four concert halls and 10 performing arts theaters. Information and show schedules can be found on Orange County’s website.

The Orange Senior Center is a vibrant facility with plenty of fun and services to offer Orange assisted living residents at both their primary location and their second center in the north area. The senior center provides six different support groups to help elderly residents cope with health challenges and other life issues.

Orange Medical Facilities

The healthcare needs of Orange senior living residents are met at the University of California, Irvine Medical Center and St. Joseph’s Hospital. The Chapman Medical Center is another full service hospital which also specializes in geriatric psychiatry. This facility offers a free van shuttle to patients within a 10-mile radius.

Orange Transportation

Your loved one will have access to all area activities using the bus and train services offered by Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). Orange assisted living residents age 65 and older are eligible for a reduced fare ID card. The county’s ACCESS service provides paratransit mobility for eligible citizens.

The famous California sunshine that helps orange trees to thrive is also ideal for your senior loved one. For more information about assisted living options in Orange, California, visit our Orange Assisted Living page.
