Vivante on the Coast is a 430-bed senior living community in Costa Mesa. The facility offers assisted living, memory care, independent living, skilled nursing.
Hoag Health System on-site
Vivante has a formal partnership with Hoag, placing Hoag medical offices and staff physically on-site — covering doctor visits, physical and occupational therapy, neurological evaluation, dementia assessment, and clinical trial access without residents leaving.
Multiple named dining venues
Newport Mesa features Mélange — an open display kitchen with rotisserie and pizza oven — plus Catalina Lounge, Boardwalk Cafe, and The Oak Room private dining room with seating for 20.
Montessori-method memory care with university partnership
The Shores Memory Care uses the Montessori Method for dementia and runs a structured Vitality Wellness Program with CSULB's Gerontology department — three 8-week cohorts per year.
Locally owned, operating since 2013
Not a national chain. Local ownership is cited as the reason management can adjust operations to residents' preferences rather than follow standardized corporate protocols.
Below-average safety record
5 serious and 4 minor citations across 30 state inspections, with 3 verified complaints. Worth asking directly about recent findings and how they've been addressed before deciding.
430-bed scale
At 430 beds, this is a very large community. Ask how neighborhoods or wings are organized day-to-day, and what the typical caregiver-to-resident ratio looks like on overnight shifts.
Two separate Vivante properties
Vivante operates Newport Mesa (Costa Mesa) and Newport Center (Newport Beach) as distinct communities with different amenities. Confirm you're comparing the right property before touring.
Memory care is a separate wing
The Shores is a dedicated program within the broader community. Ask how the transition from assisted living to memory care is handled, and how family communication is managed across that boundary.
