4 Continuing Care Communities in Ventura County, California

Linda

I went to tour Atria Las Posas for my parents, but they were not informed that I was coming. I guess they had other facilities, so they thought that maybe there was an opening in one of the other ones, so they went ahead and gave me the tour. It was kind of a breeze because again they were not expecting me. It was a nice facility, and the people were as nice as can be. The place looked fine, and I would say they were a decent place. The location was nice. The rooms were more like bedrooms. It had a courtyard, a dining, and a big TV room.

The people at Simi Hills are very nice. Nobody is moving about and doing their things; everybody is kind of behind closed doors. It is a little bit hard to tell, then, but the facility is nice, and it looks like it could be a fun place when everybody is allowed to be outside their rooms. I saw a very small vacant studio room, which is what I was looking for because my grandfather doesn't have a lot, and the price is very important to us. It has a small kitchenette area and a nice bathroom. It is a first-floor room, so it has a spider door and a little walkout patio, too. I don't have a lot to compare the place to, but it's a nice building. They have a library and a nice big room where the residents can do puzzles and all kinds of things.

My mother-in-law is in OakView. It's a really great facility. The staff is really attentive. It's very lovely, very clean, warm, and homey. It's also conveniently located because we live really close by. We have been really happy with the staff and the things that they offer there. She is actually on hospice care, so she is not receiving any physical therapy. Communication is really good. They're really honest. There is regular communication and updates. Her room got a really nice big window with a view of the trees outside. It's a nice sized room. Instead of the fluorescent lighting in a hospital, her room has warm lighting, which we appreciate. There is a wardrobe with a TV and a place to sort her clothes. It feels like a well-appointed hotel room. It's nice.

Theresa

My mother moved in. We think it's the exact thing she needed, she's doing really well, and they take good care of her. She has a small room with a bathroom, but they also have shared rooms. They have exercises, they have a movie theater, they play games, and they have a bible study and church services on Sundays. They have a courtyard she can go into if she wants fresh air.

We had a nice visit at Simi Hills. They were very friendly, nice, helpful, and honest about what they could offer. We liked the area and it was a lovely place. They seem to have a lot of activities.
