A Place That Just Feels Right: Nancy and Leon’s Story at The Hacienda at Mission San Luis Rey

Today, Nancy lives independently in her apartment, while Leon receives personalized care in the Memory Care neighborhood. It’s a setup that gives them both what they need, while still allowing them to enjoy their favorite parts of life together.

That blend of connection and support is part of what makes The Hacienda such a meaningful place for couples navigating change.

Singing, Stories, and a Sense of Belonging

The Hacienda is more than a beautiful place to live; it’s a place to connect, participate, and enjoy the moment. Nancy has found joy in getting to know other members through shared meals and conversations. Each dinner brings a new opportunity to learn about someone’s life, their background, and what brought them here.

Leon, who has always had a love of music, has also found ways to stay engaged. He even joined a group of members who performed for a St. Patrick’s Day celebration.

From community events to small, daily moments, these experiences help create a sense of belonging that both Nancy and Leon cherish.

A Life of Meaning — Together

Nancy’s story is a reflection of love, resilience, and the power of choosing the right environment to support life’s changes. At The Hacienda, she and Leon can maintain their connection, surrounded by care and a sense of community.
