If a ten star rating was an option, the Townhouse would top my top ten! I've been blessed to live…read morehere for a glorious month and I simply can't adequately describe how wonderful it's been. Disneyland has stiff competition for the proverbial happiest place on Earth. "Life in a cruise ship on land!" just might come close. Three meals daily served in either the large lovely dining room, delightful outdoor settings, your own apartment or "to go" include numerous menu choices for every meal. No paper tablecloths or napkins allowed, only crisp white linens and gorgeous fresh flowers on every table. For example, today's lunch options offered three delightful soups; assorted greens garden salad; fresh fruit salad; chicken and cheese casserole with roasted cauliflower; breaded baked pork chops in a creamy herbed sauce, OR a delightful vegetarian option. The dessert options are, unfortunately, far too delicious, plentiful and include six varieties of ice cream. Baked potatoes and wine or beer are offered daily after 4:00 pm. And speaking of "after 4:00 pm"?, this place LOVES to parTEE! Whether the every-Wednesday afternoon wine & cheese social, a holiday or even a pseudo-holiday, they roll up the carpets, tune up live band performances and dance the night (well, actually only the afternoon) away! After all, this IS a senior living center. There is also fantastic entertainment daily, including soloists or duos or small bands, and usually the first sound you'll hear when entering the lobby is the ivories' tinkling from the foyer grand piano. There are seemingly endless activities daily from cards to games and just about everything in between; group outings to the beach or museums or local attractions, and individual transportation in the Townhouse limo or van is almost always available. Just call ahead for a ride to medical appointments, church service, shopping trips, or whatever your heart's desire within Ventura. "Whatever your heart's desire" is made possible by the truly amazing, wonderful staff members you'll encounter everywhere. Often unobtrusive, one or more seem to pop up at your (virtual) first thought and they really seem to enjoy serving us all as much as we enjoy having them. Very open, friendly and generous, always eager to offer suggestions and ideas! Have I forgotten anything? Whoops, the barber shop or hair salon....manicurist/pedicurist .....loaded gym equipment in the basement area, or fantastic ocean and mountain views from the top, seventh floor group function areas and spacious balconies ? If I have, I'll try to take some photos next time. "Next time" ?? only if I'm not permanently banned from reviewing this awesome place and experience. The Ventura Townhouse IS both.

My dad lived at the Townehouse for 10 months. We picked the Townehouse as our family has lived here…read morein Ventura for over 57 years and my brother worked at the Townehouse in high school in the 70's. We thought it had a great reputation. Boy, was I wrong. I agree with Bob F. and he wrote his review 7 years ago. The administration, especially Evan and Johnathon, tell you what you want to hear. I just found out that Johnathon is the owner's son, so that really tells you they don't care. If you do not have an advocate checking on your loved one, you had better get one. My dad was in memory care due to his Parkinson's. James, who runs Memory Care, and his staff try their best to help when problems come up, but they are extremely understaffed. When I went to Evan and Johnathon to complain about it a few times I got nowhere. I even told Evan he should go help change briefs as that is what James does to help out. My dad passed away 3 weeks ago and I have yet to get a call, card, or any condolence from the Townehouse. The staff at Memory Care showed our family much sympathy, but to get nothing from the Townehouse management is an utter disgrace.

I believe I've found the premier senior residence in Ventura County. After visits to several other…read moresenior communities and discussions with family, I knew The Orchard was for me. The facilities are inviting and my one-bedroom apartment nicely kept, but what sold me was the caliber of the staff, my neighbor residents, and the patio/porch off my living room. Those who work here are warm and welcoming, and are clearly interested in my life and my concerns. As for the residents, I've made friends with so many, it's hard to believe we didn't grow up together. To top it off, my patio/porch looks over magnolia trees! Another big plus for me is the fact that free transportation is provided by The Orchard's van, as I no longer drive. (Many residents do, though, and there's adequate and convenient parking for them.) Hey, we can enjoy terrific live entertainment here, too, during one of the weekly happy hours or socials--not to mention New Year's Eve. Of course, there are plenty of other venues for fun, including groups and clubs dedicated to various interests. Free of charge, residents can use the nicely-appointed side dining room for private parties and the good-sized house on the campus for larger gatherings. There are too many other amenities to cover here, so I suggest prospective residents make an appointment, come for lunch, talk to staff, and look for themselves. Only a month ago, I did, and now I can sum up in one word what The Orchard is to me: home.
