Wellness Care Senior Living at Ojai in Oak View, CA
5.0

My mom has been at Autumn Years for over a year now. They have been unfailingly warm and helpful, to us as well as to her. We took care of Mom for two years and understood that it wouldn't be an easy matter to work with her emotional swings, yet the staff at Autumn Years has been beyond wonderful. There always seems to be some activity going on, yet the staff gently encourages the residents to participate, never pushing. I can sense Mom's comfort with knowing her own routine and feeling cared for. Deirdre [last name removed], the director, has always taken care of everything with efficiency and kindness. I really can't recommend this facility highly enough.

Cypress Place in Ventura, CA

If your parent has more of their faculties, I think this could be a great place. It is full of activities and vibrancy. It's a very social environment. But if your parent is in the advanced stages of dementia like mine was, I'm not sure this is the place for them. I think my father could have been redirected in better ways, and I'm not sure their staff was prepared for or capable of handling him in the best way. There were also some issues with billing, and we were only there for a month. We were overbilled, and it took quite a while to get a refund.

This is truly an amazing community. I'am extremely pleased with everything they have done for us. You feel like your a vacation, the community looks like a resort. My mother is doing very well, she loves it. The staff is wonderful, they are caring for her very well. She is trying many daily activities. The food is good, she enjoys the meals. It is a beautiful community, with nice and friendly people. It has really been a great experience and I would recommend it.
