We are located in Tustin, California within a short distance of multiple hospitals, pharmacies, clinics, and shopping centers. We’ve been family owned and operated for over 20 years, which has led to an atmosphere of stability, trust, and consistency for our residents.
Living the Dream Care Home is a residential care facility for the elderly (RCFE) that provides a variety of essential amenities and services for the elderly. From our home-cooked meals to 24-hour exclusive care, our residents experience a family-oriented environment where they can enjoy their Golden Years.
Cristina and Emanuel are people who genuinely care about others! They would literally give the clothes off their back to those less fortunate. It has been a pleasure getting to know them and I can’t wait to continue to build my relationship with them. God bless you guys and your family!
Cristina and the incredible staff at Living the dream were incredible during the time they took care of my grandparents. The staff and Cristina all cared for and protected my grandparents with love and tenderness. Every time I visited it was very clear how much attention and respect all patients including my grandparents were receiving. The facility was very much like a home which was very important in this case because my grandparents wanted to feel at home in their last few months. I consider Cristina and May and all the other staff as family, they did something beautiful and kind for my grandparents by making them feel safe as they transitioned to that time in their life, I will forever be grateful, thank you Cristina.
Christina is the owner of this Board and Care. I met Christina when looking for placement for my cousin who has health issues, including dementia. I was not only impressed with all the amenities offered, but I was able to experience first hand her keen knowledge of health issues, her integrity, passion and compassion for each of her residents. Her love for family was evident and it carries over to how she treats those in her care. My cousin has recently been placed and is already being treated like family. Christina rises to challenges, desiring to resolve them with the residents’ best interest at heart. She is a bright light in this industry and a rare treasure.
LTDCH has been the complete answer to our needs for a safe, warm and home-based environment for our parents who have lived independently in their own home until three months ago when our father had a stroke. As he transitioned to rehab and we learned that he would require 24-hour care, our search for the right environment began. We needed an environment that would keep him safe, maintain his dignity, and provide for his medical, physical, and mental needs. We knew that we wanted a small, home-based environment after experiencing weeks in the hospital followed by a stint in an impersonal, institutional, rehabilitation center. As we prepared to transfer him from the rehabilitation center, Cristina proactively assessed his needs, arranged for a hospital bed, coordinated home health, medication delivery, and medical supplies. Within his first week she had restored what had been lost during all the previous care, including personal hygiene such as a professional haircut, twice daily teeth brushing, as well as more regular bathing, etc. When physical therapy was slow to schedule she again was able to intervene and expedite with a therapist our father really likes and feels motivated by. All of these services have come to him at LTDCH, coordinated by Cristina. He appreciates the house and lovely outdoor area in the backyard. Everything at LTDCH, including his soft food meals are approached thoughtfully and served in a way that maximizes his feeling of independence as he recovers from his stroke. Cristina and her staff care for his needs, while encouraging increased independence and maximizing his dignity.
LTDCH provided incredibly compassionate and professional end of life care for our mother. Our elderly parents had health issues within weeks of one another, necessitating a move from living independently in their own home to needing 24-hour care. LTDCH was able to offer a shared room for the two of them allowing them to be together again after being separated for months in hospitals and rehabilitation centers. Unfortunately, our mother required hospice care as she transferred from rehab to LTDCH. Cristina was able to recommend an extraordinary hospice provider. Between hospice, Cristina, and her professional and caring team, our mother’s every need was anticipated and met, as she peacefully transitioned. As our father was also living at LTDCH we thought it would be easiest on him to have lunch following the funeral at LTDCH. Cristina had tables, chairs, table clothes, plates, napkins, silverware, fruit and dessert set up when we returned with our father. Just one example of the above and beyond care that we are grateful that our parents have received at LTDCH.
