“Nick Sauer is very pleasant, helpful, and efficient. He’s the best property manager I’ve ever run across! Thanks Nick for all you do!<br>—Leigh H.”
“My Mom has lived here for 7 years, the past year in the memory care area. The staff is very caring, friendly and I feel comfortable knowing my Mom receives good care. She enjoys her friends, the food, her outdoor walks and the variety of activities.”
“We toured Woodbridge Terrace, with Kara and Daisy...they are great. We are so impressed with this beautiful property, and the care they provide. Walking around, the residents looked so happy and several encouraged us to have mom live there. Lovely lifestyle for mom!!”

About these figures
Computed on October 22, 2026 from the 21 communities listed in Irvine, 770 public family reviews on Google, Yelp and MyLivingChoice, state licensing records and, for nursing homes, CMS Care Compare. The best-rated list ranks communities by average family rating weighted by how many families have reviewed each one, so a 4.9 from three reviews does not outrank a 4.7 from two hundred. No community pays to appear in the best-rated list or in these figures; sponsored and partner listings in the directory results are marked as such. Figures refresh as listings and reviews change.
