Memory Care Communities in Oak View, CA

"My mom has moved into The Palms at Bonaventure Assisted Living. They're very caring staff. They really encourage their residents to participate in different activities during the day. They're a little bit smaller than the community we came from. There's a lot more one-on-one attention. Very genuine, caring, compassionate care. I've had several meals, and the food is very good. They have options and work with the residents, so it's not just one thing. Regarding the facility, they are going through renovation, but they're almost done. It's beautiful and clean. New paint, new lighting, and new carpets are coming in. The rooms are big and clean. The floors are nice. We've only been there a month, but the value for money is worth it."

"I toured all the levels of care offered by The Lexington Assisted Living. I was introduced to several people along the way through the tour and I found them very personable and outgoing. The person giving the tour interacted with the residents by first name as well as with other employees. As we were walking along, she would introduce me to them. So, I found it to be a lively, friendly facility. The facility was great. They had a full range of activities. There's a monthly schedule posted all over the place of what's going on and where it would take place. They have a theater, a game room, a library, a gym, and all kinds of activity areas set up and ready to cater to one's needs."

"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."

"My Grandmothers final months were spent at Oakmont in the memory care unit. I can not speak highly enough of the staff that cared for her and others at that time. The care and compassion extended to my grandmother went beyond our expectations. The staff at Oakmont is incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. They not only met the physical needs of my Grandmother, but they also went above and beyond to ensure her emotional and mental well-being. The residents are also encouraged to engage in activities that promote both physical and mental health. I would highly recommend Oakmont to anyone seeking top-tier care for their loved ones. Thank you to the entire team for all you do!"

"It was an agonizing decision to place my husband, George, into memory care, I had promised him I never would. When my health declined, it became clear that I wouldn't be able to keep that promise. After a state-wide search, I found Regency Palms and I knew it was the home for him. When I moved him in, they allowed me to spend the first two days with him. I saw how staff treated the residents, how their days were structured and what mealtime was like. My fear was George would be terrified, not knowing where he was and feeling abandoned. A week after the move I was talking to him (they allow landlines in the rooms, $15 a month) and he wanted to get off the phone so he could hang out with his friends on the patio! I made the right choice choosing Regency Palms, they take really good care of him."

"The rooms and staff are top notch. We feel so fortunate that our father has such wonderful care and community. He’s very happy at Atria Las Posas. Highly recommended!"

"My grandmother is residing in the Blue Oak community. It is a beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood. My grandmother is in a private room, and it is a good size for her. She doesn’t require much space anymore and due to her Dementia, so it is perfect. The home is always clean and smells good. The care team is really great. I’m always informed of everything going on regarding my grandmother’s care or even emotional state. The other nursing home my grandmother was in rarely every communicated with me , so it has been so wonderful to feel like I am on top of her care without having to chase information. I’ve toured all the communities and took the opening in Blue Oak as soon as it came up because I knew the care would be great as long as this was the team that cared for her. I cared more about placing my grandmother in the place where they they will treat and care for her well, rather than a larger facility which may be larger and has amenities but with not much care. Everyone’s needs are different in different stages in life, but I’m thankful for placing her in Blue Oak. Don’t hesitate to place our loved ones here. They will be in the kindest and most compassionate setting with great care "

"I went to Oakmont of Camarillo. Everything was very, very nice. They take them on field trips, and it's like all three of them that I have seen are pretty much all the same. It's going to come down to money and it's going to come down to where my children feel comfortable with. The staff is good. They were all very nice. We've been there three years, and two years ago because we have money down on the place, so we kept going to all of their activities and things thinking that we were going to be there. We went to some of their dinners and we heard a speaker once. It was very luxurious."

"Camarillo Senior Living was very clean and pleasant. The staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating. They have games, TVs, and get-togethers. They have a haircutting salon. The sizes of the rooms are about average. The community areas are really nice and large."

"We like Oak Cottage of Santa Barbara Memory Care. It was a good fit for my sister because I think there are only 40 to 50 residents, and they have a lot of activities. She's now in a facility where people can monitor her so that she eats and her nutrition intake is better. She doesn't always have the option, as far as activities that they provide, to say that I don't want to go. They highly encourage her, which I think is good. It's a memory care facility and I believe that part of her memory problem is that she just tends to be always by herself, not too much interaction with other people. Now that she's there, they take very good care of her. It's small enough. Because she was more of a loner, she probably would adjust better to being in a facility that has less people. She has a private room. She has her own shower. It's like a studio, so there's no bedroom, which is good. All is good there. There is one common dining area downstairs. My sister's room is upstairs. They can't use the elevator and the stairwells are locked. Somebody has to escort these people up or down, but if she's not in the mood to eat with a big group, there's a living room area that they convert every mealtime into separate dining areas. They cater to the residents there. The staff is really good. My visit over there was very short, but they recognized my sister. They greet everybody. They offered us a soft drink when visiting and things like that. The facilities are nice. There's a common area, like if somebody wanted to just sit outside. It's not very huge, but there's an influx of them that want to go outside to sit on the balcony or the porch area they have. The inside is always clean and very nice. When we went, it was during the time that the Olympics had just started. The person conducting the activities for the residents there had an Olympics of their own. They had asked the residents there who wanted to participate in swimming, so a few of them volunteered to do that. These people who volunteered sat in the chair and when the facilitator said on your mark, get set, go, then they would sit in the chair and move their arms like they were swimming. Whoever stopped first was eliminated. The one who kept on doing it was the winner. The rest of the residents there were grouped into countries. Then they'd be cheering on the side."

"It was very clean and very organized, and it had most of the amenities I was looking for. It was a very favorable review. They showed me the 1-bedroom. I'm not excited about sharing the bath, but I don't think the toilet facilities matter to them. I also think it's a community shower so to speak. I only met the managing director, so I don't know about the staff at all, but I noticed they were busy helping people, and that's the main thing."

"We're interested in the Sage Mountain Senior Living. I love Sage Mountain. It's beautiful. The people there are so nice. They're so understanding and they were very thorough with all my questions. They're always there if I have a question and need to call them; the communication is fantastic. Everything there was clean, it's new, and very accommodating. When you walk in it, you just get a friendly vibe right away. It's a place where I definitely would put my mom and feel comfortable knowing she's safe. When I did meet there and take a tour, I was given some samples of some pumpkin bread, and everything was fantastic, fresh, tasty, very clean. I would definitely recommend the food."
