Senior
Assisted Living Facilities 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 in Ventura County.
I have organized the information into several
sections which include the affordable housing link below, followed by more
expanded sections on Senior Referral Services and Assisted Living. Finally, I
have included answers to some of the more common questions concerning senior
living in a General Information Section. I hope you find this information
useful.

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.

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.

General Information Section
This section attempts to answer many frequently
asked questions about senior living.
None of the information presented here is intended

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.
