My father lived in memory care at Royal Oaks Inn for almost two years, and the care he received was…read moreoutstanding from start to finish. 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.

No one from Belmont would talk to me when I took him to the hospital! I believe their attorneys forbid it when they screw up so badly. ***I would NEVER recommend this place.*** I was constantly having to have discussions with admin for poor service.

As a family member, there is nothing more important than knowing your loved one is safe, cared for, and treated with dignity. While I wish I could personally care for my mom full time, I am incredibly grateful to know she is being so well loved here.

I have visited most of the care facilities in our county and decided that a Continuing Care Community was the best option for me. I had visited University Village in 2022 but was not really serious about moving. I called them this year and talked to Martha Macker, one of their Marketing reps. She took me and 3 friends to visit one of their garden terrace units; it was like love at first sight. Any hesitations about moving left that afternoon. They have waiting lists and Martha has been there for advice and assistance through the application process. I am now on the active waiting list where I am advised when a unit I am interested in becomes available. I am really excited about becoming a resident there and believe I will enjoy many safe, fun and activity filled years in a beautiful setting.

Tami took the time to ask thoughtful questions about my mom and truly understand her needs. After presenting several options and discussing them with me, she refined the list down to two homes and ultimately recommended the one she genuinely felt was the best fit. Having been through this process before -- my grandmother and my father both lived in local care homes -- I've seen many facilities and can easily tell which ones are well run and which ones are not. The home Tami chose is an absolute 10/10 and comes at a very reasonable price. I'm so grateful for her guidance, expertise, and compassion during what can be a very overwhelming time. Warmly, Lisa Dickson If you are looking for help placing a loved one, I highly recommend reaching out to Tami or Assisted Living Connections: Tami Podel Tami@alc4seniors.com 818-357-1123 Assisted Living Connections 888-880-1811

I worked with Jan, who covers the Ventura area, and she was an absolute pleasure to work for. She was very friendly and personable, asked me questions about my father's needs, budget, and area of interest. She then prepared a list of 5 different facilities, set up tours, and toured the with me to ensure all of my questions were answered. She also had a wealth of knowledge about each facility, and helped me decide the best fit for my father. After moving him in, she also checked in regularly to see how the move was going, which was a very nice personal touch. I would highly recommend this service for anybody who needs to help a family member move to assisted living. It made the whole process easier and more manageable.

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.

If you're suddenly in the stressful place of finding the right fit for a loved one needing assisted…read moreliving, you'd be smart to include Atria Grand Oaks in your search. I moved my father here from another nearby facility for many reasons, but the main one? The people. Not just the many attentive caregivers and detail-driven admin staff, but frankly, the residents themselves. They bring a noticeably upbeat vibe on-site by being genuinely friendly and outgoing - there's good energy here. To me, that's as important to consider as a property's amenities or pricing. Yet, cost-wise, this is the best value you'll find in the TO/WLV area. Hands down. The facility itself is lovely and well kept, with generously sized rooms (even the studios), an expansive dining room featuring a daily menu of surprisingly tasty selections, a pool, a theatre, a library, a gym, fun outings, activities, daily transport as needed, and gorgeous exterior grounds (including a putting green) that are meticulously maintained and quickly refreshed as needed. Also notable: An impressive, new arrangement of high-end flowers that greets you in the foyer each week. Why does this matter? Efforts like these say a lot about the approach Atria insists on when overseeing your loved one. Details matter here. Now, some past reviews posted below may say otherwise (when Eden (the current executive director, who is terrific) and the new chef (who is talented as well as accommodating) weren't in place yet), but from what I've encountered, the staff delivers a remarkably one-on-one, personal experience to each of its residents. Importantly, these folks are also nothing but attentive and accommodating in working with family members to help manage a resident's care schedule and travel. Given all this, my dad and I are grateful to have found this option as his new home. A last comment on rent increases (true of any assisted living facility - not a slam on Atria). The contracts of many facilities use misleading legal speak when describing the "potential" of rent increases. Phrases like, "In the event the facility should experience an increase in rates" or "From time to time, the property will incur a rent increase based on blah blah blah...." This is false, and I don't know how care facilities are allowed to create this untrue impression on a legal document. The simple truth is, every January 1st the rent will increase. Now, your sales rep will admit this if you ask. But the smart move? Add it in writing to the contract before you sign. Stipulate what you agree to pay, percentage wise, as an increase each year. I'd recommend no more than 5-7%. After all, it's likely they need you as much as you need them, and your strongest leverage is right before you sign anything. Despite your search being an emotional journey, at the end of the day, this is business. Facilities need to fill rooms quickly and generate income. Find the place that's flexible and "feels" right while checking all your boxes. For us, that was Atria Grand Oaks.
