– Dr. Brett Florie (Founder + CEO) “
From the moment you walk through the doors at San Clemente Villas by the Sea, you’re welcomed by friendly smiles and a courteous staff who care. The luxury senior living facility is owned and operated by the Brazeau family, and this year they celebrate 20 years in business. Paul and his wife, Aileen, built the Villas in 2002. Following Paul’s passing in 2019, the family has carried on his tradition of delivering excellence and exemplary service, in a fun and friendly environment. To honor founder Paul Brazeau’s legacy, the family puts their hearts and souls into every aspect of making San Clemente Villas a warm and comfortable place for its residents, and the difference is evident.
San Clemente Villas is the only family-owned and operated assisted living community in Southern California. The Brazeau family plays an active role in the day-to-day operations at the Villas, and they are very involved in maintaining the high level of care and meeting the expectations their father established. Paul Brazeau often referred to San Clemente Villas by the Seas as “The cruise ship that never sets sail,” and it’s easy for visitors to understand why.
Beautiful, well-appointed apartments, some with coastal views, balconies or patios, offer residents ample living space with a coastal flair. Vaulted
ceilings are also offered in many units, giving the spaces an expansive feel. The lavish, heated pool and jacuzzi boast an ocean view and provide opportunities for relaxation, poolside happy hours, special events, and outdoor exercise. An aqua therapist, available weekly, is also provided to residents at no additional charge.
San Clemente Villas offers month-to-month residential options, in comparison to the expensive buy-ins required at many other corporate-run retirement communities. Rates include fine dining with three delicious home-cooked meals daily, weekly housekeeping, bedding and bath laundry services, all utilities (except telephone and upgraded cable), an emergency alert system and much more. A scheduled transportation system assists residents in getting to and from local appointments, along with taking them to a wide array of activities, entertainment and social programs.
For residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, the Memory Care Unit provides one-on-one attention in a safe, healthy, and secure environment. With ample caregivers per shift, a dedicated nurse and medical technicians, seniors in this comprehensive program can be assured of 24-hour, individualized care from experienced specialists.
Paul’s son, Dan Brazeau, shared this message regarding his family’s appreciation for the outpouring of love and kindness they received after his father’s passing...
“On behalf of our family, I would like to thank all of our residents, family members, local businesses and our beautiful San Clemente community for 20 years of support. With the passing of my father, Paul Brazeau, we lost the patriarch of our family. His dream was for San Clemente Villas to remain a family-owned and operated luxury senior care facility. I have owned and operated a successful assisted living facility in the Inland Empire since 2006. As a licensed RCFE Administrator, I was fortunate to be included in the location and development of San Clemente Villas — along with Paul’s wife Aileen Brazeau and my siblings, Mark Brazeau, Debbie Chapple and Leslie Brazeau. After my father’s passing, I stepped in to oversee the operations. We have made many improvements this year, including our new Woody Surf Bus rolling around town! We have some big plans for renovations in 2023, including Paul’s Bistro and Wine Bar (my father loved his wine!). Our family will continue to provide excellent care and beautiful amenities for years to come. We invite you to stop by for a tour soon, and see for yourself the exceptional lifestyle that we embrace with our senior guests!”
Give San Clemente Villas by the Sea a call to learn more or to arrange a private tour of the community.

BUILDING WALLS OF PROTECTION FOR HIS CLIENTS
Rick Hackett
Rick Hackett, the Farmers Insurance agent with 15 years of experience in San Juan Capistrano, is an expert in not only insurance, but also construction. Rick is the first to admit that the topic of insurance doesn’t always make the most stimulating conversation. He utilizes the metaphor of building walls around a castle when discussing insurance required for individual clients.
Rick spent 30 years in residential construction so dealing with insurance companies and transitioning into the field was natural for him. It’s commonly said, “A man’s home is his castle,” and Rick sees his role as assisting clients with navigating the constantly changing insurance landscape to protect what they own, building walls of protection through insurance.
“I’m amazed at how many new clients I meet haven’t worked directly with an insurance agent in years,” states Rick. “Their providers have simply placed their insurance on auto-pilot and process their renewals without review.”
Rick takes the time to review each prospective client’s insurance position to determine the optimal approach. How high do your walls need to be to protect your home, business, assets and potential income loss from an unexpected accident?
The majority of Rick’s clients are local residents and business owners, and he enjoys getting to know them and using his expertise to assess their needs. “The insurance dollar isn’t going as far as it used to,” he says, “My mission is to dig in and build a custom package for each family’s potential liability exposure.” It’s that one-onone, personal service that truly sets him apart. “My clients are my boss, and I’ll do anything to protect them.”
Rick is your local, single point of contact, unlike big, internet-based insurers. If you have a problem, you won’t call an 800 number; you’ll call Rick directly. Brian from Mission Viejo sums it up well, “Rick has saved us a lot of time and money, but more importantly, when we need him, he’s there!”
Peace of mind is paramount for his clients. Whether its coverage for the family home and auto, rental properties, recreational vehicles, business needs or an umbrella over them all, Rick can provide solutions to address your unique circumstances. He understands what’s important to his clients and keeps up with constant industry changes so they don’t have to. No matter what your current status may be, Rick will help you fortify the walls of protection to keep you, your family, and your assets as safe as possible.
As the holidays approach and uncertainty looms over the coming year, take a few minutes to speak with Rick to learn what he can build to protect you. “My job is done well when a need arises and the wall stands up to it. Let me patrol the walls of your castle,” he quips.

EFFECTIVE JANUARY
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Effective January 1, 2023, new air conditioning and heat pump system pricing will increase up to 20% due to changes in design and an increase of materials to meet these new standards. This can equal thousands of dollars. If you are considering replacing or adding an air conditioning or heat pump system within the next 5 years, I highly recommend contacting us now to make the purchase sooner rather than later. This will lock in your pricing before it dramatically increases. We provide free proposals and 0% financing for 18 months to further make the purchase easier on your pocket. From my perspective, an investment with an estimated 20% return is an excellent one.
