Shoreline Care Center sits in Oxnard, CA and it's a big place with 193 beds, where they've set things up for both short-term and long-term stays, and they've got skilled nursing and therapy staff around 24 hours a day, so you don't have to worry about folks being left alone without help, and people say the place shows what quality care looks like, though you won't find any published prices but they do offer hourly rates for some home care that run from $29 to $35 per hour, and when you get started they make sure you meet with staff to talk over all your care options, costs, and they go through reviews and assessments with you and your family, so you understand what's happening at every step. The center's got memory care, support for dementia, and programs for people with Alzheimer's, and they focus on matching care plans to each person, including help for conditions like stroke, arthritis, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, brain injury, along with special programs for respiratory care, wound management, continence, contractures, pain, and diabetic management, plus total knee and hip replacement support, so there's something for just about every level of care you might need. There's a steady team of therapists for physical, speech, and occupational therapy who show up as much as seven days a week, and if you need rehabilitation after surgery or an illness there's specialized services like IV therapy, feeding tubes, tracheostomy care, hospice, cardiac recovery, and post-surgical help. Medical directors and doctors supervise the care, and everything from medication management to dietary planning and even dental and ophthalmology visits gets taken care of right on site, so no need to run around between lots of different offices.
The whole place puts a lot of effort into compassionate, individualized attention, and they set up social activities, arts and crafts, education and wellness programs, and they organize daily structured schedules so folks don't feel bored or alone, and there's regular care reviews every quarter with staff, the resident, and family, so everyone's on the same page, which is especially helpful when things change or if a resident has new needs. There's an open dining room where meals get served with a focus on good nutrition, and if you step outside, you'll find common areas with ocean air and beach views that help make the atmosphere a little more pleasant and bright. For folks who need help at home or are looking at other types of care, Shoreline Care Center does initial consultations and assessments, so you can figure out if non-medical home care or home health care is the right fit, and they pay the caregivers themselves, making sure all the staff go through background checks, reference checks, get their licenses and certifications checked, even offender and driving history and drug screens, so you know the folks coming into your house or room have been checked out pretty carefully. The same is true in the center, where personal care assistants help out with walking, wheelchair moves, laundry, and other everyday needs, and housekeepers keep things clean. Whether you're there for a brief rehab stay after surgery or need somewhere steady because of memory issues or chronic illness, Shoreline Care Center focuses on providing a safe, compassionate, and supportive environment where staff try to keep each person as independent as possible while making sure their health and safety come first.
