230 beds • Est. 2000 (25 years)


FYI Safety Score

7.7 Fair

2 minor state citations and 2 verified complaints since 2021 across 15 inspections. The 2 minor citations stem from a May 2025 inspection that substantiated a medication mix-up in which a resident received another resident's medication with no adverse reaction, and a finding that resident care plan signature pages were incomplete. The 2 verified complaints cover the same May 2025 inspection event. Of the remaining 9 complaints investigated, all were found unsubstantiated, including allegations related to COVID-era protocols, memory care egress procedures, medication administration following hospice order changes, staff emergency call response times, and a fall incident. Annual inspections from 2021 through June 2025 noted a clean and sanitary facility with residents appearing well cared for.


Why we like it

Park Terrace is a 230-bed assisted living community in Rancho Santa Margarita, nestled in the foothills of south Orange County. The large community serves one of OC's most desirable suburban areas, known for its parks, trails, and family-oriented neighborhoods.

It's a well-resourced option in a part of the county that has relatively few large senior living communities.

  • Excellent safety record

  • Desirable South OC setting

    Rancho Santa Margarita offers a scenic, well-maintained suburban environment with parks, trails, and a strong sense of community.

  • Large community with full infrastructure

    At 230 beds, the community has the scale to offer comprehensive programming, multiple dining venues, and robust staffing coverage.

  • Few large competitors nearby

    South Orange County has limited large assisted living options, making Park Terrace one of the primary choices for families in the area.

  • Premium pricing
