Senior Affordable Housing / Assisted Living Facilities in Ventura County

Mark’s Guide To Assisted Living Facilities &

Senior Affordable Housing in Ventura County

 

This information is intended to provide a starting point and general guidance for folks looking for senior living and assisted living choices other than in senior mobile home parks.

I have organized the information into several sections which include:

1)    Affordable Housing in Ventura County  -  http://www.ahacv.org/index.shtml

This links with many additional city and county agencies. I have also summarized and included much of this information in my shortened version - Affordable Housing in Ventura County.    

 

2)    Free Seniors Referral Services 

There are many online services which provide pictures and information about many of the retirement communities which serve seniors. These services help people choose between the  numerous senior communities, depending on their own special needs and pocketbooks. Folks with no problems, folks in need of assisted living facilities, and folks with severe medical problems can all find help in this section. Generally, there is no fee for these services. I have picked only a few of them. Just google “assisted living” and you will find additional websites.

 

3)     Seniors/Assisted Living Communities

Senior communities often have their own websites and direct contact information. I have just listed a small sampling of the Senior Communities in Camarillo and in Ventura. There are many facility types ranging from converted homes serving 6 clients – up to full size senior community developments offering a broad range of needs services.  As an example, Senior Care Authority lists 202 facilities in Ventura County and does not include Moorpark or Santa Paula on its’ home page listings.What I’m including is just a small sampling of the home facilities available.

 

4)     General Information Section 

This section attempts to answer many frequently asked questions about senior living.

None of the information presented here is intended as a personal endorsement for any of the businesses mentioned and I make no claims as to the accuracy or comprehensiveness of the information I researched online.

There are many clickable links in this information, but some require you to hold the CTRL Key down while clicking the link.

Ocean Breeze Estates is an assisted living facility in Camarillo, CA that offers residents independent living options and daily support services. Contact Ocean Breeze Estates for more details on housing, services, and rates.

We took a tour of the retirement homes at Ocean Breeze Estates in Camarillo, CA at the suggestion of friends who knew someone who lived there and was very happy. We were immediately struck by the quaintness of the area. It seemed safe and secure, yet very private. We could see that our grandmother would have no trouble getting around the single-story homes and on the adjacent streets.

Each home has just 6 beds, which makes the space available per resident more than adequate. Each place had a lovely garden, which residents are encouraged to tend, some with vegetables. Our grandmother used to grow tomatoes, green beans and many other things in her garden and it looks like she can still do that if she desires. The backyards also had places to barbeque, with plenty of room for guests.

Each home had a fireplace, hardwood floors and beautiful furnishings. Some have eat-in kitchens which make meals look intimate and inviting.

There is Internet, wide screen TVs and cable in each home. Activities include just about everything that one could think of. They also have karaoke which looked like a lot of fun. The kitchens were large and spacious. This type of communal living looked ideal for someone like our grandmother, who prefers to be around more people and only has ambulatory issues. We'd thought of placing her somewhere that she could have her own apartment, but this seems like a much better idea.
