Why we like it

Morningside of Fullerton is a 712-bed continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Fullerton, making it one of the largest senior living campuses in California. Located in north Orange County, it offers the full continuum of care from independent living through assisted living and beyond, all on a single campus.

  • Excellent safety record

    Holds a 9.8 FYI Safety Score, one of the highest in the state, reflecting a virtually spotless inspection history despite the enormous scale of operations.

  • Full continuum of care

    As a CCRC, residents can age in place through multiple levels of care without having to relocate to a different community as needs change.

  • Enormous campus scale

    At 712 beds, this is one of California's largest senior living communities. The sheer scale supports extensive amenities, activities, dining venues, and on-site services that smaller communities simply cannot offer.

  • North Orange County location

    Fullerton is a college town with a charming downtown, strong healthcare access, and a central position in OC with easy freeway connections throughout Southern California.

  • Institutional scale

    With 712 beds, this is closer to a small village than a home. Families looking for an intimate, residential feel should visit and see whether the campus atmosphere works for their loved one.

  • CCRC commitment

    Continuing care communities often require buy-in fees or long-term contracts. Families should understand the full financial commitment and contract structure before signing.
