Sincere appreciation and admiration

Particularly remarkable is the Memory Care Department, which serves approximately 28% of the resident population requiring continuous 24-hour supervision and specialized care. Under the beloved leadership of Asuka Smith, Clearwater has created an environment where residents suffering from memory impairment are treated not merely as patients, but as valued human beings deserving safety, dignity, affection, and respect. The love residents and families feel for Asuka and her team speaks volumes about the quality of le

Sincere Appreciation and Admiration

The Culinary and Food Services Department, led by Amy Lebrun, also deserves extraordinary recognition. Planning, ordering, preparing, serving, and cleaning up after three healthy meals a day, 365 days a year, is a monumental undertaking under any circumstances. Yet Clearwater’s culinary staff faces an even greater challenge: serving residents from a wide variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, each carrying lifelong memories and preferences connected to the foods they grew up with and loved throughout their li

On behalf of the residents and families whose lives you touch every single day, I want to extend heartfelt appreciation and admiration for the extraordinary work performed by the entire staff of Clearwater Newport Beach Assisted Living. With approximately 90 employees serving more than 100 resident apartments at nearly full occupancy, the scope of your responsibility is enormous. Yet what makes Clearw

Quality and Care

My husband was in another facility which was just ok, with some specific concerns. The difference is like night and day with Clearwater. The staff is energetic, positive and willing to go over and above to care for my husband and move forward with any of my concerns. I tend to ask a lot of questions but I have NEVER been made to feel like a pest and they address every concern. The facility is beautiful, open and airy and the food is unbelievable. He is thriving there as he feels valued.
