Aegis of Ventura

This is a lovely facility- like a hotel and an apartment building. It's very "homey" without being too fancy. The staff are very caring and attentive. The food is delicious. I have visited there many times and the residents are happy and enjoying living here.

We are very grateful for all the care and loving support that the Aegis staff showed our father Jerry over the past two years while he was living at the Ventura residence. Making the decision to move there after 95 years of living on his own was hard for him, but he soon established a routine of going to the fitness classes, playing cards with friends, and socializing at meals. After a few months, he felt that he could call Aegis his new home. He was always proud to have his old friends over and to show them around. He loved how everything was so beautifully decorated and the grounds were always kept up with flowers and lovely landscaping. He also thought the food was good! As he began to decline in his last days, Aleesha and Tylene and their staff were there to support him with all of his needs. When he passed away, we were overwhelmed by the support and sensitivity of all of the staff toward us. John W., the director, was especially helpful and caring as we navigated the final week of moving his things out, while still in a fog of grief. We are so appreciative of everyone and their help. We can highly recommend Aegis Living of Ventura for you or for your parent.

If you are finding yourself looking for a good fit for your loved one Aegis is the place. From my initial tour with Mary to every step of the process that followed was beyond pleasant. Mary was patient, personable, and a wealth of information. Mary walked me and my family through each step and reassured us the whole way. I can not say enough good things about Mary and her ability to make you feel like part of the family. Aegis is a beautiful property with great amenities but the staff is what sets them apart. Every time I was there to sign paperwork or to tour the room I was greeted warmly by all staff. Bernadette at the front desk was so friendly and helpful. Beatriz is a warm and you can tell she cares for her residents. Everyone went out of their way to introduce themselves and I could see how caring they are with the residents. I know my grandma is in good hands and I know they care for their residents like their own family. They are constantly putting on events and their residents happiness health and safety are the main priority. I am so grateful and so happy we chose Aegis.

We moved my mother to Aegis Living in May 2022 and I wish I would have moved her there sooner. After my first meeting with Mary, I knew my mom would be safe, happy, well cared for and thrive. Everyone from the caregivers, nurse, dining room helpers, driver, activities coordinators and concierges are wonderful! They are always responsive to requests and are so nice and helpful to my mom. I highly recommend this community to anyone looking for a supportive, loving and friendly home for a loved one, especially with Alzheimer’s. It’s the best.

We moved my mother with Alzheimer's to Aegis in Ventura last December. Although the decision and process of physically moving my mother was an incredibly nerve-wracking experience for me and my family (she understandably did not want to leave her house, but it was no longer safe for her to live there), I am happy to report she is doing well and LOVES her new home at Aegis. Mary Sawyer was wonderful and patient, and helped us immensely accommodating our fragile situation when we made the decision to move her. We couldn't have done it without her guiding us through the challenges. We are always warmly welcomed during out visits. My mother takes full advantage of the freedom to safely roam the facility and outdoor courtyard - she loves to walk - and walks the path several times a day. She has made several friends, is comfortable with the caring staff, enjoys the fun outings, and raves about the food! She loves music and dancing and we have had so many cherished moments with her during the scheduled activities. I have seen a marked improvement in her disposition and no longer worry about her safety. She's always thrilled to see us! Alzheimer's is an unforgivable disease, but my mother is safe and happy at Aegis and I couldn't be more thankful.
