Review for Veronica,…read more It is a joy to have you in my home and taking care of me. You truly have a heart like Jesus, as He said, 'I have come to be a servant of all and show you the Father's love through my actions.' Your daily actions, such as always entering my home with a sweet greeting and a smile. No matter what may have occurred on your drive to work you never let it change your kindness and compassion towards me. Your daily respect for my autonomy and personal choices have been a great relief and blessing to me. Last year, 2025, was enormously difficult for me physically, emotionally and mentally. I was badly injured by a caregiver who really didn't want to be with me. She wanted to run my life instead of letting me make my own decisions. Everything was a struggle. I am still dealing with the pain and suffering from her carelessness almost a year later. You, however, are the complete opposite of that caregiver. You show genuine care, compassion and empathy to me. At the same time you keep a close watch on me for my episodes, for any unusual reactions, for changes in my body or mind that may indicate something physically is about to happen or something that is happening without my knowledge. Your daily care of me is exceptional. Everything from reading my body signs or noticing that I am in the middle of a call, task or just not ready. Yet, you come back or tell me it's getting late for something we have scheduled. This may be as simple as my breakfast or as important as helping me to get ready for my doctor appointments, my bloodwork or therapy. You encourage me to try many things that can help my health, mood or my outlook for the day. Such as, helping me relearn my Spanish while I help you with English, or walking around the house with my gait belt and walker. You keep me on top of my goals. These can be as basic as making my bed every time I get up (in the morning and after my nap). In fact, this helped me create and continue this habit. Another goal of mine is building my strength and stamina enough to walk around outside my home. This has not happened yet, as I have been primarily bed bound since February 19, 2025. You encourage my stretching in bed to keep my body as limber as possible. This helps reduce injury in case of a fall. My personal Internist, Dr. Fondren of Newport Beach certainly appreciates your encouragement and reminders to help me to regain the strength I have lost since February 2025. (when a different caregiver injured me). Once I have regained a little more endurance, then I can start physical therapy. Finally, my family has been at peace with you being my main caregiver and I love how well you and Gabbi work together caring for me. Just knowing how dependable you both are, how you communicate with each other changes, concerns and even my meal planning and cooking. My sister and my son (they both call me almost every day) are amazed that I finally have a team like you and Gabbi. Thank you Veronica for everything and I look forward to 2026 being a great year with continued great care!

My daughter would not be attending her current adult day program at Momentum in Thousand Oaks,…read moreCalifornia without the one-to-one which Bright Star has provided. From my first phone call to Bright Star to the aide they provided, I am 100% satisfied. I spoke with Bonnie when I first called and just like the aide provided, they both have a heart for individuals with significant special needs and for the parents of these individuals. When I first called, I felt the love. I was heard, understood, and matched with the perfect aide for my daughter. I was exhausted from dealing with the school district during IEP meetings, speech therapist who didn't care and the list goes on. It was actually healing to speak with Bonnie during my first call to Bright Star. That's only the beginning. They sent me a wonderful aide to work with my severely delayed nonverbal adult daughter who was lashing out and hitting and scratching the other one-to-one at the adult program. She was miserable there and nonverbal cognitively three and had no way to tell me, but I figured everything out from other parents who experiencing issues with their nonverbal adult children at Momentum. Our one to one has a heart for working with my daughter. My daughter was refusing to enter the front door at Momentum and that all changed. When I drop off my daughter, she runs to see her aide and they mutually love each other other. My daughter is no longer aggressive or in tears. The truth is, if I lose this aide for whatever reason, my daughter would just be home on her iPad all day in her room. Because this aide is basically running a mini program inside the building at Momentum is the only reason she still goes there. Unfortunately the staff at Momentum is not trained or well paid and the turnover rate is high, so my daughter has a problem with changing faces and transitions. With Bright Star my daughter now has a one-to-one aide and it's the same face every day and this face loves her and we love our one-to-one. Bright Star provided a one-to-one who is a blessing to our adult daughter and has given us a piece of mind that is God given. Thank you, Bright Star. Thank you to our one-to-one. It gives me hope that there are good people in this world.

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.

I can't say enough about the care and compassion of everyone at Los Robles hospice. From the time…read morewe met with Steve, we felt comfortable with choosing Los Robles to bring my mother home from the hospital on Hospice. Steve was very thorough in explaining how things work and had everything set up for a smooth transition from the Hospital to Home.

Additionally, Ian, the Chaplain was wonderful and helped us during this difficult time.

There was a variety of food and very enjoyable. Also, the activities department does a great job with keeping the residents occupied. I also was able to attend a car show they hosted in their very own parking lot. I hope to never need to go back to a skilled nursing facility, but if I need to it would be only at Thousand Oaks Post Acute. Special thank you to my CNAs Cesar, Barbara, Dean, and Teresa. Also, to my physical therapist Bryan and Noa. I would like to thank Chelsea for always willing to help with any aspect related to the care.

I had her at my house initially but I needed to return to work! Allyson, Kim, and Laura all moved mountains to get reliable caregivers for my mom quickly! My mom has enjoyed her interactions with all the ladies who have been caring for her and I think her cognition is stimulated with all of the socialization. Now she is home in Ventura and still has caregivers from Comfort Keepers. Her husband with Alzheimer's in Memory Care recently went on hospice and the ladies have been so gracious to take my mom to his facility so she can spend time with him. I'm able to work at the other end of the county knowing my mom is safe and cared for in Ventura. Highly recommend Comfort Keepers.

I wish I could write a better review but we've been struggling with Select for years. We're looking…read moreinto different companies or people but Select has left us in a tight spot multiple times. Some days they just won't send someone out when we've told them multiple times we need a caregiver every single day. Or if someone calls out sick they don't have enough staff to cover them, which leaves people, like us, without a caregiver which isn't possible for us. When your parents are sick and bed ridden we desperately need help and we thought Select Home Care was the reliable option but I guess not. They also don't screen their caregivers well enough. We have pets in our home and they sent caregivers who hates animals. They also have sent caregivers who don't speak English, or curses a lot in front of family which is absolutely ridiculous, have broken dishes and teapots, who have been controlling and manipulative with my mom or family. Outrageous. Do not choose them for a caregiving company. Their caregivers and service are nightmares. UPDATE 12/16/19: The owner has messaged me multiple times in attempt to get me to change my review to 5 stars and I refuse. My family and my mother are the most important things in my life and they've disrespected us multiple times in the past. I'm not changing my review so his company can "look good" for Yelp. I've posted photos of the text messages he has sent asking me to change my review. Also, I'd like to know who the "adult children" he's referring too are. You can read the reviews and decide if this is a company you'd trust in your home.

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.

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.
