10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Piru, CA

My 89 year old mother had a fall in March of 2020, at the same time COVID was rising. She went from being hospitalized, to weeks in skilled nursing, and then we needed to find a Board and Care home for her to live in. Imagine having to manage your elderly parent's care from afar because not only do you not live in the area, but due to COVID you haven't been able to visit in person since she entered skilled nursing--and now have to find a place for her to live without being able to be there. It was an incredibly difficult, painful situation. We were incredibly lucky to be led to the the compassionate, kind, skilled team at Claredon Senior Living. Without ever meeting in person, we were able to work with them to find a place for our mother at the Cottages at Lake Balboa. [names removed] were responsive, a pleasure to work with, and truly committed and passionate about working with elders. The level of care she received was simply top of the line. Though she had dementia, she was able to share that she felt safe, cared for, and that the staff were just wonderful. The executive team met with relatives of patients on a Zoom call, and unsolicited, the other relatives welcomed us to the Lake Balboa family, shared that they felt 100% confident with the care their loved ones were receiving, and how grateful they were they were there. Any family would be lucky to have their loved one in their care.

My uncle has been a resident for about 3 years. The care he receives is exceptional, not only in the objective medical criteria, but in the equally important quality of care and personal, caring atmosphere. This is like a home with caring relatives. I have had a lot of experience recently with long-term care, with parents who are in their 90"s , and I wish there was a facility like this where they live. This is a placement you can feel good about! My uncle is very happy and fulfilled living here. He gets so much individual care, including doughnuts from his favorite donut shop.

My husband was terminally ill with a progressive neurological disease. He needed assistance from more than one caregiver 24 hours a day. Navita was the seventh residence he had been in in a four year period, due to the inadequacy of previous facilities. Finding Navita was a Godsend. From the start, the owners were exceptionally courteous, patient, intelligent, and caring. They provided the best possible care that my husband could have gotten, especially considering the severity of his disability. He was fed, bathed, dressed, moved, medicated, and given the highest quality of attention. The facility was clean, homey, efficient, and the caregivers were of the highest caliber. Throughout my husband's stay at Navita, everyone did the utmost they could to care for him. In addition, the fees were very reasonable and paperwork was dealt with the highest level of efficiency and thoroughness. My husband died at Navita, and I can't think of a more natural and loving setting for him to have passed. I highly recommend Navita with 5+ stars in all categories!
