    About Lexington Assisted Living

    Lexington Assisted Living sits on Ralston Street in San Buenaventura, in a building designed with an English Tudor style that brings a certain charm, and the place spreads out in a U-shape around a landscaped courtyard with a relaxing pool and a jacuzzi so you always see a touch of green and plenty of natural light through those big windows in both apartments and the common rooms. People living here get support for different needs, like independent living, assisted living, and memory care, and each group has its own spaces and services-there's even a special first-floor Memory Care wing with 13 units that feel safe and comfortable for residents who need a bit more attention, and this area honors veterans with military seals and flags. The apartments come in different sizes, including studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms, with helpful features like large closets, room-controlled heating and air, tub-style showers cut out for easy access, and sometimes even small kitchenettes with fridges and microwaves if someone wants a cup of tea or a snack.

    There's plenty of things to do, and Lexington has regular activities to keep residents active and engaged-art and crafts, games in the parlor, water aerobics in the heated pool, music programs, outings on the community bus to local spots like museums, casinos, and lunch places, and even a Sweet Shop stocked with snacks and a jukebox for a bit of nostalgia. The Bijou Theater shows movies every night with popcorn straight from the machine, and the Churchill library upstairs makes a quiet place to read, sit on the patio, or play some poker. For those who like to stay fit, there's a fitness center with equipment, group classes offered daily, and even on-site physical therapy; folks looking for a bit of pampering can head over to the beauty salon or barber shop during the week. Meals are served in a classic dining room with restaurant-style service, and there are private dining rooms for family visits, plus chef-prepared dishes and room service for anyone wanting a quieter meal. Guests can join for meals too.

    The community helps with many daily needs, from laundry rooms on each floor to weekly housekeeping and a 24-hour concierge desk that coordinates appointments and helps line up complimentary shuttle rides or even trips to the store or doctor's office in a Lincoln Town Car. Residents get free Wi-Fi and cable TV, so family calls and favorite shows fit right into the day, and the building has a good emergency call system with intercoms linked to the concierge in case someone needs quick help. Lexington also has religious and devotional services both on-site and nearby, so residents who want to keep up with their faith have options. The staff-trained and ready to help-provide memory care, ambulatory care, incontinence support, and medication management, focusing on both independence and safety as needs change. The pet policy allows smaller pets up to 30 pounds, and the grounds are good for a stroll with a companion animal. Some apartments have small patios or decorated interiors to help everyone feel at home. Lexington Assisted Living has earned positive reviews over the years for being comfortable, full of activity, and offering enough support to let people relax, make friends, and enjoy each day at their own pace.
