About Raya’s Paradise
A Family Legacy Built On Care And Coastal Hospitality
Raya’s Paradise began more than thirty years ago with a six bed residence in West Hollywood. It was founded by Raya, a mother who spoke no English but carried an unshakable belief that seniors deserved warmth, dignity and comfort. Her vision grew one family at a time, eventually expanding across Los Angeles and into Orange County.
The San Clemente community represents the next chapter in that story. Designed with coastal architecture, boutique scale and thoughtful hospitality, it blends the feeling of a luxury retreat with the heart of a family led organization. Residents experience supportive care that stays personal while families gain a trusted partner through every stage of aging.
