Ventura Place

The atmosphere at Ventura Place is great. I didn't find anything bad about the place. I had lunch there yesterday and the food was very good. We had roast beef, red potatoes, salad, and carrots. The rooms were terrific. The staff was excellent. Matthew was a very charming young man.

The facilities here were nice. The people didn't look depressed. I was very favorably impressed by that one. The rooms were very nice. None of them were furnished. They're all unfurnished, which is good because I have my own furniture. Some of them come with a washer and dryer, and some don't. The manager showed me around; I was very impressed. The people were very nice. They seemed to take good care of the place. I was very impressed by the place and the way I was treated. They were very nice. They weren't high-pressure. They just showed me what they had to offer, which was what I was looking for. The building was nice. It was old, but it had been remodeled. I was favorably impressed. It had been redone and it was in good shape, so everything was very nice.

Ventura Place was a lot more open. There were cottages, so you could have a lot more privacy and freedom to go outside. You could have your car, but they still offer free shuttles. So, you could still get transportation if you needed it around town. They had a gaming area where it had checkerboards set up and other games as well, nice exercising equipment with elliptical machines, a salon, and an elevator so it's very easy to get around in the main building. They put up a volleyball net while we were there and they had volleyball in the chairs with the residents and people who were just visiting. That was fun. They have facilities all over the United States which they showed on a board. You can go and stay at least two weeks at any of them and so you always have a place to stay. They were having lunch and they let us join in and order anything we wanted. They had at least five things that day and I think they changed their venue up daily. It was a three or four-course meal. There's a fish dish, sides, and desserts at the end. They had seasoned meatballs with a sauce that was over it and pork tenderloin with the gravy over it. It was delicious and had a lot of variety. The main guy there showed us everything and was very nice. He was the one who allowed us to sit down and try out the food. He gave explanations about the rooms and their sizes in great detail. He took the time to showing us all and it was very well done.

Ventura Place is an independent living facility, so it suits our needs. My father would be able to keep his pet. It is a large community. It's a very welcoming and loving community. The staff members that we met were very friendly and very helpful. They were just very helpful, and they answered our questions. They listened to what our needs were, and they were met. The only thing that we were really interested in -- and that we saw -- because this is what my father was needing, was the dining room, and it was large. The facility was beautiful.

Ventura Place would have been my choice, but it was just too big for Mom. That place was excellent, and it was my pick, but it's just too overwhelming for my mother. The staff was awesome, it's a beautiful place, and the dining area was nice. I don't have any complaints about this place. It's not a good fit for my mother, but overall everything was great, including their facilities.

Ventura Place's best feature is the nice dining facility which was sort of like a restaurant. I'm just not ready to be around a bunch of old folks. I was well-received there, chatted with for a period of time, and had a pretty thorough tour of the facility. The staff welcomed me pretty well. The rooms had a kitchen, a bedroom, and a living area, which was nice.
