I loved the caring, hardworking staff, excellent day-to-day care, engaging activities, good food, and the newly renovated, homey, light-filled community - my family stayed ten years and the resident truly thrived. However management and office staff were rude and even offered gift cards for positive reviews, which soured my overall impression and keeps this place low on my list.
Glen Park at Ojai carries a state license in California and can house up to 48 residents, keeping things on the smaller side with rooms grouped in fours, which helps keep the mood calm and a bit homier, and it's set up as a single-story ranch-style place so people don't have to mess with stairs or elevators if they have trouble walking, and it's designed so everyone can feel safe and looked after. The community's been working with seniors since 1968, sticking around the Ojai Valley a good long time, and keeps a high staff-to-resident ratio-about one staff member for every four people living there-so folks get more attention and support with things like bathing, dressing, and moving around, and there's help with medication management from certified aides around the clock, since staff are trained and there 24 hours every day. They also provide nursing and doctor visits, and, if needed, handle memory care for people living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, designing activities and routines that keep everybody from getting too confused or wandering away, and the doors have a delayed egress system for safety. The facility takes in both men and women, and they'll accommodate non-ambulatory and wheelchair users, plus they offer respite care and even hospice care if that's necessary, and some rooms get set aside for folks needing COVID-19 care, keeping privacy and health concerns in mind.
The place tries to make adjusting easier, offering help for move-in coordination, and every resident gets meals served three times a day with snacks, with choices that'll work for folks with allergies or diabetes, and they can eat when they want in a dining room set up restaurant style, which means more comfort and not being rushed. They've got a nurse on-site every day, with a doctor or podiatrist on call, and the building has 24/7 video surveillance, plus an emergency call system in both private and semi-private rooms. Residents can bring pets, join daily activities, visit on-site barbers and salons, and use laundry and housekeeping services, while community spaces include indoor common areas, an arts room, gardens, walking paths, and even roses growing around the property. For people who want to stay sharp and connected, Glen Park at Ojai organizes art therapy, live music, pet therapy, daily exercise, cooking, outings, and community programs, including family meetings and social gatherings that encourage folks to make friends or be part of group decisions, and staff specialize in treating people with memory issues, building individualized care plans to fit each person's needs.
There's a homecare option, physical, occupational, and speech therapies, dental care, devotional services, plus help with transferring to doctor appointments within a seven-mile area, and they'll handle the basics-daily housekeeping, trash, laundry, and routine maintenance-so residents aren't stressed about chores. Rooms come furnished, with phone access if needed, and everything's meant to run smoothly so people are cared for but can hold onto independence as much as possible. Glen Park at Ojai's pet-friendly policy covers all Glen Park homes, and they're pretty firm about treating residents with dignity, respecting personal choices, and making sure the environment is welcoming for folks of different gender identities, orientations, or sources of income. Costs for shared assisted living start at $4,725 plus care, and memory care shared rates start at $7,209 plus care; detailed fees and extras vary but aren't listed outright. Glen Park at Ojai stays family-oriented and steady, providing genuine support day to day in a peaceful, familiar setting.
