Independent Living Communities in Oxnard, CA

"My mom seems happy at Atria Hillcrest. Overall, the staff has been good. They ran out of food when we had guests there and we had paid $15 per person, but they refunded the money when I talked to them. My mom does tai chi, plays cards and Bingo, and takes Spanish classes."

"I went to look at Laurel Heights. The facility was really nice. The people were nice. The amenities were excellent. The restaurants looked nice."

"We have chosen Atria Grand Oaks because of its location. My father has already moved in. There haven't been any concerns. He is enjoying his time there. The staff members have been really helpful. He likes the food too. They have activities, but he hasn't really joined in on them yet. They do games. They have like a gym, and they have movie nights. They have all different options for them. We haven't had any concerns whatsoever so far. It's super clean. I always seem them cleaning. They're always making sure that it's clean and well-kept. Assisted living is expensive, but his needs are being met, and it's a good facility. It's also local to where my family lives, and it's across the street from the shopping center."

"My dad has been a resident of Simi Hills for almost two years. The office staff are all so welcoming, kind, and always helpful. There are so many nice residents and he’s made many friends. I should also mention that the rest of the staff, including the dining room/kitchen staff, housekeepers, and maintenance couldn’t be nicer. The grounds and views are beautiful. There’s a great path for walking which my dad loves and the courtyard is a great place to relax and enjoy some time outside. The recent remodel turned out beautiful and provided a nice updated look. His apartment is the perfect size. He has a nice living area with a small kitchenette and a separate bedroom with a bathroom. My dad really enjoys socializing with friends in the dining room for the three meals they provide daily. There’s plenty of activities and entertainment available. My dad and I both highly recommend Simi Hills!"

"We toured GranVida Senior Living and Memory Care. It was close to where my ex-wife lives right now. So it would be an easy place for her friends to visit her. It was big and very clean. The staff there was friendly. We didn't eat any of the food, but we looked at their menus, and the menus looked good. The structure of the building is good. The atmosphere was friendly. The rooms were okay. They're not particularly big."

"I toured Oakmont of Agoura Hills Independent Living. There were already residents there. The layout was very convenient. They had a lot of facilities there. I shared a luncheon with one of the ladies there, and it was a very pleasant place. They have game rooms, and they have activities of all kinds. It is just a very comfortable and very nice place to retire at some point in time. They have cards, they have other types of games, and they have services that would take you for doctors' appointments and things like that. The staff member who accommodated me was a very pleasant lady, and she did a super good job. She was not pushy because she understood that I was not ready to actually make a move. She was a very pleasant lady who did a fantastic job of showing me around the different areas and things of that nature. The place was very pleasant. They had all the needs that a stationary person would want to have enjoyment, pleasure, and particularly meeting other people."

"Ivy Park at Simi Valley was very nice. It was excellent. It's very, very good. The staff was excellent. They called everybody by name. It looked good. It was very nice and very well-kept. It was very friendly. The size and the layouts of the rooms were comparable to others. They were good. The dining area was very nice, too."

"I wouldn’t recommend Sycamore. The building was nice, and it had a lot of amenities, but the rooms looked very small. It’s very hotel like. As I was walking down the hall, the smell from the different apartments was terrible. It would be suitable for a single person. The staff was absolutely fabulous. "

"It was a great help to have the lists provided by A Place For Mom, Caring.com and the sympathetic and capable staff. I was able to visit the places within close proximity and call the locations that were further out. I'm on my own in a quieter town closer to the ocean. It is much cooler than Woodland Hills where my son lives. This is a Senior Accommodation place, and I have a 2 bedroom unit with a little balcony all to myself. I miss my late husband at every moment, in everything I do. How sad he was unable to get this peace & comfort whenever we were in California. But he is in no more pain. I'm glad only of that. Hope people who have need of guidance and assistance in such living situations can get the very capable help I got from agencies such as these with the caring personnel I had the good fortune to survive this time of personal tragedy. "

"Mira Vista has clean apartments, one-bedroom and two-bedroom, upstairs and downstairs. They have a swimming pool, a rec room, a pool table, two Jacuzzis, and a very nice landscape. It was very well put together, and it's within my budget. You are only allowed to make up to a certain amount of money. You can't make over, say, $50,000 to live there; you have to qualify within a certain price range. The staff accommodated me very well. They're very receptive. So far, the only person I have interacted with was very, very polite and very helpful."

"What I like best about Santa Paulan Senior Apartments was probably the price and that it's in my hometown. It's got a pool. It's a big enough area and it's got enough parking. The staff who gave the tour was friendly. We just didn't like the whole application process that we went through, but she was friendly. They have their laundry on every floor. They have a little patio area. The apartment was big enough for what we needed. There's a kitchen and it's a complete apartment."

"My Most Positive Experience at University Village Thousand Oaks (UVTO) I first heard of UVTO from my sister about four years ago when she and her late husband began to look for a retirement community. My sister and her husband completed a very thorough search of retirement communities before choosing UVTO. They downsized from their three-bedroom home, in Thousand Oaks and moved to UVTO, a little over two years ago. And they were most pleased with their new home. I called my sister very regularly and she was very proud that they made the perfect choice. Their friends and relatives would visit them frequently and my sister was delighted by how impressed these visitors were with the ambiance of the facility. This included the pleasant spacious campus, the many facilities including the entertainment and dining options that were available to residents and their visitors. UVTO’s real “help” was realized when my brother-in-law was hospitalized in the fall of 2023. The management ensured that he was safely and comfortably transported to the hospital. In addition, they got caregivers 24/7 to be with my sister while her husband was being treated. Unfortunately, my brother-in-law succumbed to his illness and passed away. My sister was distraught and, during this difficult time, the UVTO staff were most diligent in their care for her. They: 1. Made sure my sister took her medication on a regular and timely basis. 2. Brought three meals daily to her apartment. 3. Introduced us to care-givers who were with her 24/7. 4. Encouraged her to go on outings on a regular basis. I, personally, have seen the excellent living conditions. And more importantly, the care and attention to detail the UVTO staff extend to their residents. I first visited UVTO last December, after my brother-in-law passed away. It was clear to me that this welcoming and warm atmosphere flows from the top down. The facilities are immaculate, and all staff are, polite, kind, attentive and bend over backwards for the residents in their care. To put it concisely, UVTO, under promise and over deliver!"

"The Gables of Ojai is a very, very nice community. It's beautiful. The staff is lovely. The rooms are nice, but the community is on the smaller size and that's why we did not go there. Nevertheless, it's almost like a house. They probably have maybe 20 rooms at the most. But it's very intimate, and it feels very, warm. It feels like a house. The woman who heads up the whole community is very proactive and very caring. The food was great. We had lunch. We didn't have options. Maybe they have options once you're a resident, but the food we were given was a good amount and very, very tasty."
