OakView skilled nursing facility is a top-notch location for acute rehab. From the moment you drive…read moreup to the facility, walk into the building and go to your assigned room, you can see the building is very well taken care of and nicely decorated. This is important as it shows their attention to detail. In the room, there is a lovely armoire for every patient to use for their belongings along with a nightstand, hospital bed and tray. The armoire is much nicer and larger than the usual small closet you find in most facilities. The true star of the facility are the employees. The CNA's are always quick to respond and provide you with the service you need. The LVN's who dispense the medication are equally quick to help and all of them have kind words along with words of encouragement for each patient. Unfortunately, I have been in numerous facilities and non of them compare. OakView is fine tuned and runs very smoothly. Administrative staff checks on the patients frequently to make sure all needs are met. Treatment plans are prepared by medical staff. And the social worker is very kind and extremely helpful in taking care of the patient while on the premises but also after they leave OakView. She even called me two days after my release from OakView to check on me and to see if there was any additional needs I had. I was extremely impressed by this as I had never had this happen before. Never was there a social worker that did a third of the work this woman did let alone follow through and show she cared every step of the way. OakView feels like a resort with medical assistance, not a skilled nursing facility. The food is excellent and if it's not to your liking, the chef is willing to prepare something that meets your desires. No other facility I know of does that. If and when I need to be in a skilled nursing facility again, I hope I am blessed to be able to find a room at OakView. I highly recommend it. P.S. They also have an assisted living facility.

If you are looking for a place where safety, clinical excellence, and genuine compassion intersect, this is it. First, I want to recognize Ashi, the Administrator. Her leadership is evident the moment you walk through the doors--the team is cohesive, the environment is professional, and the care is top-tier. I spent a significant amount of time with Jessica Torres, the Community Ambassador, and she is simply exceptional. Jessica is incredibly knowledgeable and shared deep, educated insights into the nuances of memory care life. She took the time to truly educate me on what it means to live in a specialized secure unit, providing peace of mind that is hard to find elsewhere. The facility design is one of the most unique and thoughtful I have ever seen. In terms of security, it is easily one of the best I have been in. It manages to feel like a warm, inviting home while maintaining a rigorous focus on the safety of its residents. I highly recommend Silverado to any family in the Thousand Oaks area navigating the journey of memory care. It is a world-class community led by world-class people.

They are very understanding when it comes to dementia and memory issues, and they treat everyone with respect and dignity. The facility is clean, safe, and feels warm and welcoming, not like a typical nursing home. I also liked that the residents are kept engaged with activities, which helps with their mood and overall well-being. Staff communication is also good, and they make sure families stay informed. Overall, I feel like this is a trustworthy place for loved ones who need memory care.

From the moment we met Holly, Director of Resident Services, I just felt a sense of calmness and care. Oh, and if you visit during the week, Holly has her dogs there and they are so adorable and sweet. We both had a feeling that we knew we had made the right decision and our mother was going to get the care she needed on a daily basis. I really feel less stressed these days. Brandon was great too! We had certain concerns and he made sure they were met. The caregivers and staff are all pleasant and nice. We have been visiting our mom each weekend and its always a pleasure. I highly recommend Royal Oaks for your loved one!

What impressed me most was how low staff turnover is here -- the same caregivers, nurses, and management knew my dad and his needs the whole way through, which made all the difference in memory care. Owners Brandon and Holly clearly set a high standard, and manager Lucia runs a tight, professional operation. The caregivers were patient and attentive day after day, the nurses stayed on top of his health, the reception staff were always warm and helpful, and the kitchen, cleaning, and laundry crews kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Two years is a long time to trust someone with your parent's care, and Royal Oaks Inn earned that trust every single day. Grateful to everyone there.

Peace of mind is what we have experienced by placing him at Varenita. The staff has been stellar, very caring, very loving, and there hasn't been the rate of turnover that you typically experience in these type of facilities. Christina, the events coordinator, has amazing energy, patience, follow through and does a fantastic job keeping residents safe and engaged, as does the other care staff. The food has been really good and the top notch events and activities have kept our dad as mentally sharp as can be expected. We have to give a shout out to Mirella, Daisy, Maria, Adriana, Maritza, Maggie, Lisa, Lisola, Julia, Jordy and Sean just to name a few of the caregivers that have a gift and passion for what they do. They have become family to us all, and we highly recommend Varenita.

Choosing a memory care facility for my dad was one of the hardest decisions of my life. I was…read moreterrified of him becoming just "part of a business plan" and nervous about giving up control. I knew I needed to move from being a caretaker back to being his daughter, but I constantly wondered: Could I find a place that would care for him like I would? The answer is a resounding YES at The Ridge in Westlake. It is a true hidden gem. After researching every option and watching this facility being built, I was initially hesitant about choosing a newer place. That changed the moment I met the "heart" of the operation. Ivette (Memory Care Director): Ivette is incredible. Her expertise and accessibility are unmatched. She truly listens, keeps me posted, and I genuinely feel she keeps a personal eye on my dad. She is a kind soul who ensures his quality of life is excellent. Ian (Health Services Director): A true med-tech extraordinaire. Juggling medications is a massive task, and Ian is a pro who stays on top of every detail behind the scenes. Tonya (Activity Coordinator): I call her the "Cruise Director." She has the utmost patience and creativity, engaging residents at all different levels with physical activity and brain games. Her kindness radiates, and the weekly excursions are a wonderful touch. The Care Staff: I wish I could name them all in this post. This is a hard job, and they are amazing. I feel so lucky knowing they love my dad and made it a priority to get to know him. It didn't take long for them to figure out he loves to sleep in, needs his paper in the morning, and is always down for anything with chocolate! I pop in all the time and can always count on them. If you are reading this, you're likely navigating a difficult chapter that nobody prepares you for. You will doubt yourself, and the transition is hard. But the peace of mind here is real. The best testament I can give is a text my dad sent me the other night: "They are making me hot chocolate with marshmallows. I love this place! " The Ridge is secure, safe, and fun. When I leave my dad, I don't worry--and that is worth every penny. Yes, they are still working some things out as a newer facility, but don't let that push you away. Everyone has to start somewhere, and this is an opportunity you shouldn't overlook. Come visit--my dad would be the first to tell you how happy he is to call this place home.

From the executive staff to the med techs to the caregivers, every single person treated her as if she were their own family member. The facility itself is warm and welcoming, and even the residents showed such kindness to our mom and to us. It gave us such peace of mind to know she was surrounded by compassion, respect, and genuine care. Although we wish she could have stayed longer, she did pass away -- but we will always be thankful for the time we had at Meadowbrook. They made an incredibly difficult chapter of our lives so much more comforting, and we will never forget it. Thank you, Meadowbrook, for everything.

My five stars go to Sunrise's executive director, Edith Kennedy, and the nursing and admin staff…read more They are exceptional, and I don't use that word a lot. Edith is particularly outstanding because she truly cares and is on her game with details, always wanting feedback (good or bad) to make your loved one's experience the best it can be. Now, with assisted living facilities this can sometimes be like moving a mountain. But, she earnestly tries. She's got your back. However, despite this, we are actually moving my dad to another local facility shortly due to one of Sunrise's bad qualities, horrible in fact, and that is...pricing. Again, to be found at many assisted living facilities but costs at Sunrise are higher than most...and they price differently than most. For example, when you first talk to them they speak of the rent as a flat rate. But it's not. Sunrise charges you a day rate per month. So your cost varies per month based on days of the month. The rent is better in February, September, April, June and November. But the other seven months with 31 days...all higher. And surprise...there are more months with 31 days in a year so the house wins. It's a bad optic. Despite the costs, they serve generic soda vs. Coke and Pepsi brands. Small yes, but at these prices...bad optic. They only have transportation offered 2 days a week while most other places provide 7 days. Again, for what they charge...bad optic. And one other thing. No matter what month you move in, your rent will be increased come January by 5-10%. The contract makes it sound like it's a random event, but it happens every year like clockwork and you will be notified 60 days in advance. And remember, you have your highest leverage to negotiate (the move-in fee, etc.) before you sign the contract. So with Sunrise, the people are terrific. The prices are not. And in the end, it's a shame that a business that exists to provide care often comes across as caring more about the money.
