Ventura Townehouse sits on 12 acres at 4900 Telegraph Road in Ventura, California, right across from Ventura Community College and close to downtown, Pacific View mall, Ventura Harbor Village, hospitals, and shopping, so everything stays pretty convenient, and with easy access to the 101 freeway and public transportation or scheduled rides using bus and chauffeured town cars, the place is easy to get to and from. The community has a 49-bed capacity for folks aged 60 and older, offering living arrangements for different needs, with independent living for healthy retirees who want an active lifestyle but no worries about maintenance, assisted living for those who need help with daily tasks, and memory care designed for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, all with 24-hour staffed security and personal wellness checks, along with customized care options that can change as residents' needs change. The main building is a seven-story Tower that has apartment suites, each with its own kitchen, large baths, central heat that you control, and private balconies with panoramic views of the ocean and mountains, while people who prefer something different can choose garden apartments with enclosed patios or private villas set among lawns, landscaped gardens, and even private yards. The Memory Care Cottages have extra security and are set in a private area with outdoor access, lawns, and mature trees, and the cottages focus on added support for memory care folks.
Ventura Townehouse offers a wide range of amenities, including a sun-filled dining room with 270° views, serving three gourmet meals a day, as well as vegetarian choices and specialized dining programs, and people can also eat outside at "The Pier" patio or in the Pavilion with fire pits, or use the private banquet room for family gatherings. The community has a full calendar of social, educational, and entertaining activities for people who want to stay busy, like arts and crafts, nature walks, social events at the outdoor Pavilion, special events in the iconic Vista room on the seventh floor with its wraparound terrace, and both onsite and offsite recreation, including group outings. There's a fitness center for staying active, a library for quiet time, a barbershop and onsite beautician services, activity rooms, a closed-circuit system for announcements and movies, plus mail and office services for things like postage and faxes, and the laundry rooms make it easy to keep things clean.
Specialized care is available, especially for those with Alzheimer's or other forms of memory loss, with staff who get extra training in these conditions, and they offer support through sensory programming, Montessori-based activities, reminiscence therapy, and light therapy, as well as devotional activities both on and offsite. Wellness checks, help with medication monitoring, assistance for medical appointments, housekeeping every week, help with personal care, and personal assistance on a temporary or permanent basis all help people stay safe and comfortable. Residents can also choose hospice or respite care as needs arise, and aging-in-place features like full tubs and wheelchair-accessible showers make it easier for people to stay even as care needs change.
Ventura Townehouse doesn't have low-income apartments and is considered a luxury property, but with a variety of living arrangements like Tower Suites, Private Villa Collection, and Memory Care Cottages, plus programmed activities every day, outdoor walking paths, enclosed courtyards, and shared spaces, the community tries to give everyone a chance to find something that suits them and new ways to stay involved. Trained staff offer support 24/7, encouraging a community where capable residents often help others who might need a hand, all while living in a place with ocean breezes, gardens, and views of the mountains.
