EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS: REAL ESTATE TRIUMPH

EXCEPTIONAL SENIOR CARE AT PARK VISTA

HIT THE ROAD IN STYLE

Home

"Home is where the heart is," a phrase that resonates with the profound significance our homes hold in our lives. It is the sanctuary where we find solace, nourishment, and create cherished memories with our loved ones. A central hub, our homes mark the beginning and end of each day, embodying comfort and familial warmth.

For me, home is synonymous with family—a haven where I can unwind, reflect, and rejuvenate.

What makes each home truly special is its unique identity. While neighboring houses may share similar styles or colors, the distinctive touch we give to our living spaces, coupled with the memories we cultivate, renders each home one-of-a-kind.

If you're contemplating a change in your living space, this month presents an opportune time to embark on a house-hunting journey or commence that renovation project you've been contemplating. Though home projects may seem daunting, tackling them step by step can make the process more manageable. Identify the room that will have the most profound impact on your daily life and start there. You can always pause before delving into the next phase.

Amidst the revamp, discover the potential of repurposing old items into new furniture and decor that aligns with your refreshed aesthetic. Explore DIY projects from our past issues online for creative inspiration at CityLifestyle.com.

This issue aims to inspire an appreciation for the place we call home—both the intimate personal dwelling and the broader shared community. Stories featuring real estate, fencing, carpet and tile cleaning, senior living, and your 'home away from home' are woven throughout, offering insights and ideas. As you flip through these pages, may you feel a profound connection to the people, cities, local businesses, and neighborhoods that collectively shape the tapestry of our shared community.

Thank you for reading City Lifestyle.

I hope to see you around town!

More and more travelers are taking to the open road, and consider their Airstream/RV as a second home—and one that never disappoints when it comes to seeing the great outdoors in a new, exciting light.

There are several benefits that come with living and traveling in an Airstream.

“There are tax advantages, and you can control your own travel and adventure,” says Airstream Orange County’s General Sales Manager, Danny Watson.

“Benefits also include the fact that they’re aerodynamic, towable, retain a high resale value, longevity, and offer ‘off the grid’ living,” he says.

For over 90 years, the Airstream name has meant top-quality, dependable RV travel with American-made standards.

Airstream Orange County is a family-owned and operated dealership with four store locations and 28 car dealerships (New Century Auto Group). Their secret to continued success includes

Welcome Home to Park Vista

PARK VISTA HEALTH CENTER IS A FULLSERVICE SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITY

ARTICLE BY HEATHER WHITSITT

There’s no question that the beloved seniors in your life deserve the very best.

At Park Vista Health Center in Fullerton, residents enjoy all the comforts of home in a world-class, continuing-care retirement community with a 5-star Medicare rating for Skilled Nursing.

In addition to being a warm, welcoming “home away from home” for its residents, Park Vista also offers multiple levels of compassionate care designed to meet everyone’s unique needs—and all on the same campus.

“Our Health Center is comprised of skilled nursing, assisted living, and secured memory care. Each level of care is thoughtfully designed to provide balance and create a calm environment with gentle stimulation throughout to encourage every resident in any stage of their lives to feel a sense of purpose.”

“Family and friends are key members of the care team and are welcome to enjoy the amenities we offer, from our BBQ pit and mini putting green to the self-serve bistro and quiet library rooms. Each amenity throughout the health center is meant to promote mental and physical well-being.”

Skilled Nursing and Assisted Living and Memory Care services are an integral part of what puts Park Vista in a class by itself when it comes to providing exceptional senior care.

“Skilled nursing offers short-term and long-term accommodations in semi-private or private suites. This level of care, for some residents, is a quick stop for recovery, either from illness or surgery. The environment resembles a resort—hallways have carpet, and rooms have shutters. Small touches like these design features give you a sense of being at home rather than in a medical setting. A significant amenity offered in this setting is our fully equipped rehabilitation gym.

Most activities in this level of care emphasize the importance of eating healthy, thanks to our registered dietitian, as well as remaining active, thanks to our team of licensed therapists.”

“Assisted Living and Memory Care offers apartments in an array of floor plans with stunning views of the garden and trails. As this is a permanent home for many, residents are encouraged to decorate their new space to their liking. This environment is a social setting, so the design goal was to create spaces that allow our residents to build friendships and encourage a sense of belonging. Restaurant-style dining and group programs such as bingo, music, and exercise are available.”

For over 30 years, the Park Vista team has worked tirelessly to uphold industry standards and improve whenever possible. Most recently, their Skilled Nursing Center underwent a thorough renovation, completed in January 2024.

“Providing quality care for seniors has always been our inspiration. Our community was founded by a group of professionals, including physicians, all looking for services that would meet their expectations should and when they need care.”

Park Vista’s endeavors haven’t gone unrecognized. In addition to being named one of the Best Nursing Homes for Short-Term Rehabilitation and Long-Term Care by US News & World Report, they’ve also earned the rating of a “Great Place to Work” for the past five years.

“We are proud of all our employees that make this health center a great place to work and the best place to live. We serve the greater community and welcome the opportunity to provide you with tours Monday-Sunday. Come by to see all our amenities and what we have to offer for the senior in your life!” parkvista.net

Elevate Your Home’s Elegant Curb Appeal

““From Vinyl Fencing and Vinyl Gates to Wood Fencing, we’ve got you covered!”

Your home is a reflection of you. Enhance the natural beauty of your property with low-maintenance, high-style fencing solutions.

Since 2003, So Cal Fencing has served as Orange County’s premier provider of vinyl fencing, vinyl gates, and wood fencing options for homeowners.

“We are the Gold Standard in Residential Fencing. We've maintained our commitment to only installing the highest grade of vinyl, setting us apart with unparalleled quality and attention to detail,” says

So Cal Fencing’s owner Tony Brock.

“Since vinyl fencing first arrived in Orange County, we've perfected our installation techniques to offer both aesthetic excellence and functional design. From Vinyl Fencing Service and Vinyl Gates to Wood Fencing Service, we’ve got you covered!”

“When you choose our vinyl fencing, you’re choosing a top-tier product that brings several benefits to your home. Crafted from high-quality polyvinyl chloride (PVC), our fences offer a multitude of styles, colors, and textures. This gives you the flexibility to select a design that enhances your home’s existing architecture and landscaping. In terms of performance, our vinyl fences excel in durability, resisting rot, decay, and insect infestations,” says Tony.

“What’s more, our vinyl fences are incredibly easy to maintain. A simple wash is usually all that’s needed to keep them looking fresh. As for the installation, it’s a smooth process with vinyl panels easily interlocking and securing to posts. This reduces the time and effort usually required for fence installations, making it a convenient choice for busy homeowners.”

What about wood fencing? “When you opt for our wood fencing services, you’re getting more than just a barrier; you’re investing in a blend of functionality, style, and longevity. We use patented PostMaster steel posts for our wood fencing. It provides you with the strength of structural steel with a galvanized

coating without sacrificing the natural beauty of wood. Constructed PostMaster can withstand high winds and heavy rain and will never rot or warp. PostMaster gives the utmost value in wood fencing.

Yet another design option with So Cal Fencing is adding vinyl gates to your residential property.

“Choosing our vinyl gates means you’re elevating both your property’s aesthetic and its functionality. These gates are prefabricated and customizable, designed to integrate effortlessly with your existing fencing. Additionally, they boast robust resistance to weathering, rot, and pests. Our installation prioritizes ease, attaching each gate to sturdy posts for secure anchoring and perfect alignment. If you’re considering gate fence installation or seeking a reliable gate contractor, look no further than us.”

No matter which product you choose, what matters most to Tony and the So Cal Fencing team is client satisfaction. Customers can expect, among other things:

• Clear explanations of installation procedures and timeframes

• Any special considerations or preparations required from customers.

• Tips on how to maintain and care for vinyl fences.

• Information on the quality, durability, and longevity of your fencing materials compared to other options.

• Positive feedback from satisfied customers.

• Before-and-after photos showcasing successful installations.

• Details about the types and styles of vinyl fences you offer.

“Whether through enhancing the visual appeal of their properties or improving safety and security, SoCal Fencing Solutions contributes to the longevity of our customers’ outdoor spaces. We see your vinyl fencing as a valuable addition that enriches the overall quality of life for our customers.” socalfencing.com

DEDICATION, DRIVE AND DETERMINATION

Driven to Deliver

When we are asked why we have been successful in real estate, the answer can be found in those three words: Dedication, Drive, and Determination. Those three words will allow anyone to be successful if they are applied to their lives and to the outcomes they desire for their clients.

So, let me apply those specifically to what each word means in our real estate business. Dedication. What are we dedicated to? Performing at the highest level for those we serve. Therefore, we are dedicated to service. We let our clients know that we will do all we know how to

do to make their real estate transactions successful and match or exceed their expectations. When we present our services, the client understands that what we do are “best practices,” with the goal of delivering the best outcome. That starts with a focused plan presented to our client as to how we will handle their situation and their property. If we indicate that the house needs decluttering (as most homes do), we supply the vendors to accomplish that by working together with the homeowner and our team. Stress is quickly relieved at this point. The staging is done

by a professional stager who understands our standards and enjoys the process of this needed strategic component to sell at the highest level with the greatest satisfaction of all concerned, including the buyer. Photography follows, so that the potential buyer sees the home in the best light and encourages prospective buyers to come and see. That same dedication drives all the printed materials, the Open Houses, and the follow-up.

DRIVE.

From the very beginning, we have used the tagline “Driven to Deliver.”  We leave no stone unturned, focusing on every level and detail of the relationship with the client, and then with the parties to the transaction once we are in escrow. We are strong problem solvers, and aggressive in the flow of the details in the transaction. Your goal is our goal, and we will accomplish it. We are driven—and it shows. You will hear from us throughout the transaction and not be left wondering what is going on. We will communicate with you regarding the input we receive from buyers or other agents about your home. Open and honest communication is very important to our clients and to our team.

DETERMINATION.

This is shown daily as we address all the aspects of the property sale or buy. We are determined to see that your expectations

exceed your satisfaction. There are three partners and two staff that are on your team and we each have our own strengths that are brought to bear on your behalf.  We are determined to improve each year and research what changes we need to make to improve our systems and, therefore, improve our performance in the industry on your behalf. We seek our clients’ input and insure them that their comments are very important to us. Our literature often uses the expression, “We sell more because we do more.” Our reviews reflect what past clients have seen in our performance.

In fact, we decided to create a Mission Statement. We went and reviewed what our clients had said about us in their submitted reviews. Check out those reviews on Google! Based on our review of their feedback, the Mission Statement we adopted reads as follows:

Our Mission: “ Driven to Deliver ” guides our direction in real estate. The Edie Israel Team strives to focus on attention to detail , timely communication , and calming and supportive service , all with skillful outcomes delivered ethically with the goal of going above and beyond the client’s expectations .”

Join us in the adventure of real estate and invite us to present our unique selling proposition that will exceed your expectations. Real estate is what we do, and we believe we do it best. www.ediesellshomes.com
