Dad's New Home
reviewed on: 11/09/2017 by AnonymousI really like this community for my dad they are working with me to keep my dad healthy and happy. He just isn't eating the food so the staff helps encourage him to do so. The staff is nice and approachable and very patient with my dad. There are daily activities that they engage him on and he does enjoy them. The staff is really concerned and caring. The grounds are well maintained and is always clean inside. I would a recommend this community.
Very pleased with the service, Mom is happy here
reviewed on: 01/23/2014 by DaughterThis is a very nice place. my Mom has a very lovely 2 room apartment and she is happy with it, and with the people. The staff are all friendly, and they're very responsive to her physical and care needs. They're very accommodating when it comes to family interactions as well! We had her birthday celebration here recently, and they were wonderful about getting the food we requested and having a space available for us to celebrate. And the food was very good! I've only had one issue with them so far, and that was that after Mom suffered a fall they did not have information on hand about which hospital she should go to. My brother was first on the contact list and they were unable to reach him, but never tried me. Eventually Mom called me and I was able to give them the info, but I felt it was something they should have had on hand in the first place.
You should definitely check it out, it's certainly worth looking into.
reviewed on: 08/15/2014 by MargaretThey are doing a great job. The staff is very friendly, and it's kept clean. The food would be a four. I picked them because I felt more welcomed by their staff than anywhere else, and the facilities were beautiful, I mean gorgeous! They also provided all the services in house that I needed. They had visiting doctors, and home health, and physical therapy, all of those kinds of services. You should definitely check it out, it's certainly worth looking into.
We really like this place!!
reviewed on: 08/25/2016 by AnonymousMy loved one is in the memory care unit at this community. The staff are caring and have taken a personal interest in him. The food is good and they offer a good variety. The only issue I have is with the billing. The community is clean and I would recommend it.
A homey family-type environment
reviewed on: 11/06/2020 by Carol CorneliusWe chose Ventura Hills because they were able to provide us with the exact number we would be paying, the overall appearance of the facility (it is in a very pretty area), it is a smaller community so 1 on 1 care is better, they really treat them like family here. The room sizes here are bigger than what she came from and it is adequate for her needs. The best part about the community so far has been the location, it is very close to us and it is just such a pleasing environment. All of the residents seem very happy here and we are impressed with Ventura Hills. It is also such a safe place for my mom during COVID because I see how they do everything and I do not have to worry.
