The Reserve At Thousand Oaks sits quietly on nine acres among tall evergreen trees in the hills of Thousand Oaks, California, and you really get the feeling of peace there, with Colorado-like scenery and Spanish-influenced architecture, and when you walk the landscaped grounds you'll notice garden paths, courtyards, a heated swimming pool, an outdoor spa, and plenty of spots for sitting under big trees, and sometimes you'll see a group from the Walking Club or Book Club heading out for their daily activities. The place has a mix of independent living, assisted living, and memory care, so people have support if they need it or freedom if they don't, and with 24-hour staff, nurses onsite, and visiting doctors, families can feel at ease. There's a choice of apartments, too-studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom-with features like patios or balconies, big windows, full kitchens in some, laundry, barrier-free access, private or semi-private layouts, and they even let you have your pet with you if that's important.
Inside, you'll notice it's bright, with wide hallways, a renovated living room, comfortable seating, and spaces like a library, game room, activity studio, beauty salon, computer room, and even an onsite health room, which is handy for group activities or quiet time depending on your day. The common areas are meant for folks to gather for things like music therapy, art classes, educational events, sing-alongs, bridge and poker clubs, discussion groups, or fitness like aquacize and walking, and they've got a packed events calendar-MBK Mind+Body Wellness-with programs aimed at keeping people active and social.
Dining is flexible at The Reserve because the dining room stays open from 7am to 7pm, so you can eat whenever you want, and the staff works with people on special diets, even offering meal plans for folks with diabetes or hypertension, and there's the MBK Cuisine program that tries to keep meals both tasty and nutritious, whether you want to eat with neighbors or have something brought to your apartment. There's a Bistro and café for snacks and coffee, so folks have options beyond the main dining room.
Transportation is part of daily life here, with scheduled outings to shops, medical appointments, faith services, and group lunches, and there's even covered parking for residents who still drive or want family to drop by. For personal help, there's assistance with things like bathing, dressing, grooming, medication reminders, and even a mobile hairdresser or visiting podiatrist. People who use wheelchairs can get help with transferring, either from chair to bed or elsewhere, and staff helps monitor blood sugar for folks with diabetes, though family or someone else would need to help if insulin is required.
The Reserve also has housekeeping, laundry, linen service, maintenance, and 24-hour concierge, which keeps chores easy, and if anyone needs a break, respite care is available. Hospice services can be arranged. The grounds have a garden, terraces, art studio, and lots of space for groups and solo time. Security and safety are a priority, so people can feel comfortable no matter where they are on the property, and with activities running all day-board games, movie nights, animal therapy visits, outdoor walks, Adventure Club outings, and more-residents find it easy to stay engaged.
With a mix of assisted living, independent living, and memory care, along with features like chef-prepared meals, pet-friendly policies, exercise and wellness programs, personal care, and plenty of opportunities for friendship or quiet, The Reserve At Thousand Oaks offers a community where people can choose their own pace, enjoy beautiful surroundings, and let staff help as needs change over time.
