Thousand Oaks Home Care, operated by Elderly Comfort Care, LLC, provides residential care for the elderly through state-licensed care homes located in a quiet, safe neighborhood in Thousand Oaks. The company is family-owned with over 30 years in business and operates five separate residential homes in the area. The homes are situated near Los Robles Regional Medical Center for quick access to medical care, and close to shopping and restaurants for family outings.
Residents live in private rooms that can be furnished and decorated to their own liking, helping create a familiar, at-home feeling. Each home is equipped with central air conditioning and heating, and features safety-oriented design such as hallway handrails and grab bars with non-slip surfaces in bathrooms. Outdoor spaces include large patios and landscaped yards with fruit-bearing trees and vegetable gardens.
Care is personalized: staff meet with residents and families before admission and throughout a resident's stay to develop and adjust an individualized plan of care. Staff continuously monitor residents' health and communicate changes to family members, physicians, and other healthcare providers. The homes maintain a high caregiver-to-resident ratio, with many caregivers having worked there for over 15 years.
Meals are freshly prepared and served three times daily at a leisurely pace, with healthy snacks between meals and accommodations for special diets and dietary restrictions. Medication management is handled by trained caregiving staff, with medications stored securely and administered according to physicians' orders. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy can be arranged as directed by a physician, and hospice care, home health services, medical supplies, and therapies are coordinated with licensed outside organizations.
The community emphasizes family involvement, welcoming visits and building personal relationships with residents' loved ones. Through community partnerships, programs such as music therapy and pet therapy are offered, along with celebrations of seasons, holidays, and residents' birthdays.
