Residential Care Home
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!
I'm thrilled, and can finally sleep at night realizing that my mother is being cared for. The home has 6 residents, is clean, friendly and the food is good. My mother gets the personal attention she requires and deserves. I highly recommend this care facility.
A great place to call home. This home is like a new place for your loved one who now needs more care than you can provide. A nice home situated in a quiet neighborhood. There are recliner chairs for everyone to relax in, whether it be watch TV, listen to music, or to do their daily exercises. Each room has a colorful quilt and pillows that brighten up the room. Based on availability your family member can have a shared room or a private one. The staff are very attentive and caring. Food is home cooked and they like to fix you something you will enjoy. [Name removed], the owner and operator is a very compassionate person. It is her goal to make your loved one feel "at home" and as comfortable as possible. She takes a personal interest in all her residents and brings joy to them in one on one conversations, or a small outing. If you're looking for a lovely place that feels more like a home and not an institution, Bella Nova Villa is a great choice.

Residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.
The median monthly cost of a room in a Ventura care home in 2019 was about $3,300 and around $3,500 in the state of California. However, the cost of living in a care home depends largely on location.
