Sea Breeze Manor sits in Oxnard, California, in a quiet neighborhood with views of the Northern Pacific Ocean, and it's run by Manor Care Homes with a caring staff available at all hours, and the owner Lori Rosso brings years of local hospitality experience to the place, which mixes a calm home setting with a hint of seaside charm. The home has space for just six residents, so everyone gets plenty of individual attention, and it helps people who need help with daily routines like dressing, bathing, moving around, or even remembering their medicines, which is important since licensed nurses stay on call 24 hours a day.
Residents who need extra help, whether it's with memory loss from Alzheimer's, diabetes management, or getting in and out of a wheelchair, find extra support here, and the staff keeps watch over safety and health all day and night. Some residents stay for a short time if families need a break-that's called respite care-or for hospice help. The home offers assisted living and board-and-care services, so it fits people who want independence but still need help now and then.
Meals come three times a day, snacks are between meals, and there are always options for vegetarian, kosher, and diabetes-friendly diets, plus the cooks use organic ingredients whenever possible and serve the food in a bright community dining room, where everyone can eat any time of day and chat with friends. The Crepe Café is a recent addition, serving French crepes, coffee, and even wine and beer for those who want something special, which is a rare treat for a care home. All rooms-whether private or shared-come fully furnished, and every room has a private bathroom, air conditioning, and easy access for wheelchairs; some even have full bathtubs, which most senior homes don't offer these days.
There's a beauty shop onsite, regular housekeeping, laundry, and linen services, so chores don't become a worry, and move-in is made simple, with the team helping families set up and even letting residents hang pictures or bring favorite items for comfort. Residents don't have to worry about maintenance or cooking, and there's always an emergency alert system close at hand.
Transportation's available to doctor appointments and for outings, though local bus lines are right nearby too, and families can choose what level of help suits each person. Activities are planned every day-things like movie nights or outings to Mandalay Beach, wine tours, and walks in the private garden or to the public park across the street-so nobody feels stuck inside, even when they prefer quiet moments outdoors gardening or just talking with neighbors. There's cable TV, internet, and phone service in every room, making it easy for families to stay in touch.
Sea Breeze Manor has won the BeachLife Best of the Beaches Award several times, and the staff keeps the atmosphere positive, looking out for each person's well-being and safety, especially those who need extra guidance. Caregivers work to understand every person's health needs and preferences, giving as much independence as possible while lending a hand when needed, making Sea Breeze Manor a simple, homelike setting for seniors who want both support and freedom in their day-to-day lives.
