Our Legacy

Built on Family, Defined by Care

For more than five decades, Alexandria Victoria has welcomed Santa Cruz seniors into a home built on warmth, dignity, and the kind of attention that only comes from a family-run community. What began generations ago as a single, lovingly cared-for home has grown into a trusted fixture of Midtown — and yet, very little has changed in spirit.
 

We still cook in our own kitchen. We still know every resident by name, by story, and by the little things that make them smile. And we still believe that growing older deserves to happen somewhere that feels exactly like home.

"Rosie, John, Adrian, and so many others, work tirelessly to provide such a high level of care to their residents at Alexandria Victoria. My mom lived here for her last 3.5 years, and I never once worried about her safety in this beautiful home. Her room was spacious and light, the food always smelled amazing, and all her needs were met. The outside areas are beautiful and full of plants and flowers. Every person working here is kind and gentle, well trained, and looking like they truly love their work. 
My mom had dementia and was non-ambulatory, needing almost everything done for her. Moving her into this home was the best thing I could have done for her. It greatly lowered my stress level.

The paperwork was easy, and they took care of getting the insurance connected, so I had no trouble getting reimbursed. All medications, and changes to the medications, were handled expertly. Feedback on how they affected her was always given, and discussed with me to find the best solution for her.
I wholeheartedly recommend Alexandria victoria for your loved one's care!"

Wellness for the

Our team takes time to learn what brings each resident joy, then builds the day around those moments. The result is a rhythm of life that feels calm, meaningful, and entirely their own.

Movement that keeps Life 

in motion.



Group classes provide a fun, supportive environment that encourages social connection and shared participation. Individual sessions focus on improving functional mobility, strength, balance, and confidence in daily activities.

Each exercise plan is thoughtfully tailored to meet residents where they are, with the goal of maintaining or enhancing their ability to move safely and independently. By keeping residents active, we promote overall wellness, reduce the risk of decline, and support a higher quality of life.
