My mother, Janyce, was not one who ever wanted to move into assisted living, but as we all discovered, the Artesian was the right place at the right time with the right type of care she needed. Thank you for your compassionate, personalized, and loving support of my mother.

Our father has been at the Artesian for about 6 months and we are pleased with the care and comfort he receives there. The care-staff are friendly, attentive, and approachable. We like the way the buildings are laid out with a central kitchen/dining room, living room, and den for each building. It truly feels like a home! (unlike other facilities that feel more like a hotel) UPDATE: Dad's been at The Artesian of Ojai almost 2 years and we are still pleased. It's very home-like, he can retreat to his private room to read or nap, or go to the common areas for conversation and activities if he desires. All with us knowing that someone has an eye on him and is taking care of (and keeping notes about) his daily needs. As of late 2025 the Artesian has new owners and everything is much more "corporate" - the office does not have the friendly and family-like vibe it used to. Care for dad is still good. :-)

Each time that I visit The Artesian located in Ojai, I am always immediately struck by the calming beauty and elegant charm the Mediterranean architecture permeates as you walk around the grounds and the sense of “home” I feel when I enter the inner sanctuaries. You can feel the care that went into the design of this senior living residence. But, more importantly, I have known others whose parents have lived at The Artesian and they all speak so highly of the positive experience their parents have enjoyed. I often reflect on how The Artesian would definitely be top on my list to consider as a residence for my aging parent.

Our parents moved into the Artesian in December 2023. This was a quick decision as they had been living on their own until November and many things happened that made it apparent that they were no longer able to live on their own. I reached out to two Ojai facilities and found that The Artesian had more to offer. Opened in 2020 it was so shiny and new! We loved it. My parents have adjusted well and enjoy all the members of the community. The staff is amazing and so caring. The are now eating three wonderful meals a day and are safe and secure in their cute "apartment". There are many activities for them to participate in and also some throughout each month for families to attend. There is no pressure from staff to participate in any of them, if that's not your thing, which is great. We were worried about that at first but have had no problems. Dad likes bingo so he enjoys that! I highly recommend The Artesian and am so thankful my parents are close and I can visit them daily.

The Artesian of Ojai is a one of a kind facility that offers many aspects of amazing care for your loved ones. From Daniel, who always greets you at the front desk with a huge smile, to Amber, Andrea, CeCe, Jackie & Michelle who manage to take standards of care to the highest level possible. The Artesian has varying levels of care for our elderly loved ones. The facility is super clean, the common areas are spotless & furniture is new & comfortable. Home-made meals at every sitting. Every resident is clean & taken care of with every need addressed. No poop smell here! Residents are treated to different activities on & off property, games & exercises that stimulate mind & body. Frequent communication between caregivers, staff & family let you keep abreast of all changes & resident needs. We love this place! It's always a very, very difficult decision to place your family member in a facility, but we have only been happy & completely satisfied with the care our loved one receives. Thank you to everyone at The Artesian for the love & kindness & exceptional care that you provide to all our family members!
