What Is Perinatal Care?

Perinatal care refers to the physical, mental, and emotional healthcare provided during pregnancy and in the months after birth. For expectant mothers experiencing substance use, mental health challenges, or housing instability during this vulnerable period, the lack of integrated support can have long-term impacts on both parent and child.

Our new facility will provide comprehensive, trauma-informed care that recognizes and addresses the complex needs of mothers navigating recovery while preparing to welcome or raise a child.

What This Program Offers:

• Enhanced clinical treatment focused on maternal mental health and substance use recovery

• 24/7 safe housing in a nurturing and supportive environment

• Wraparound services, including:

  • Case management

  • Parenting education

  • Life skills development

  • Individual and group counseling

Why This Matters:

This residential model ensures mothers are not forced to choose between seeking treatment and caring for their children. Instead, they receive personalized care in a supportive community that fosters healing, empowerment, and family bonding.

By investing in early, targeted intervention for perinatal populations, we reduce the risk of foster care placement, homelessness, and long-term health disparities. This project strengthens the social fabric by helping families stay together and thrive—building a healthier, more resilient community for generations to come.

Heritage Regency will be one of nine in the country offering integrated perinatal care in a residential setting, filling a critical gap in Orange County’s behavioral health and housing infrastructure.

Project Timeline

Construction on the facility is set to begin in January 2026, marking the official groundbreaking. We anticipate that services will begin by December 2026, welcoming the first families into a space designed for healing, support, and new beginnings.

We are honored to lead this transformational project and look forward to sharing updates as construction and planning move forward. Together, we’re rewriting the story for mothers and their children, starting right here in Costa Mesa.
