Anielka Padilla

Executive Director 

“I have seven years of experience with Sunrise Senior Living. Prior to joining Sunrise, I worked in child therapy and as a marriage and family counselor. 

The best part of my job is making a difference for our residents and team members. At Sunrise, excellent teamwork is cultivated and we receive fantastic support for our leadership teams.

When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, having coffee and finding a good place for brunch.”

“My favorite part of my job as Director of Sales for Sunrise of Mission Viejo is the relationships I get to build with the residents and families of our community. I have confidence in our team’s ability to provide the highest quality care to our residents each and every day. We truly are a large family here. 

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and close friends. I love the beach, barbequing and poolside fun in the sun!”

Tisset Domingo 

Assisted Living Coordinator

“As the Assisted Living Coordinator at Sunrise of Mission Viejo for the past seven years, my favorite part of my job is always when a resident recognizes me and gives me a hug and/or thanks me for what I’ve done. I love seeing our residents flourish, and knowing that I can make a difference in someone’s life.

When I’m not at work, I like to spend time with family and friends. We talk, eat and plan our next vacation!”

Ito Chong 

Health Care Coordinator

“As the Health Care Coordinator at Sunrise of Mission Viejo, I get to develop lasting relationships with my residents. The other day, a resident grabbed my hand and said, ‘I love you! I love you!’ That kind of thing gives me purpose. 

Outside of work, I like to play the guitar, dance and watch my daughters play volleyball and softball.”
