Sage Mountain

Sage Mountain is a large, newer senior living community located along a hillside in Thousand Oaks, California, managed by Agemark Senior Living. The facility offers assisted living, memory care, and short-term respite care, which means people can stay for a short time if they need extra help or if their caregivers need a break. Sage Mountain has a special memory care program called In the Moment®, which gives residents with Alzheimer's disease or other kinds of dementia a safe place to live and person-centered support focused on their needs. The staff is trained and available 24 hours a day to help with things like medication, dressing, bathing, and transferring. Rooms and common spaces are large with big windows to let in lots of sunlight, and people can take in beautiful sunrise and sunset views of the Conejo Valley and the nearby mountains from walking paths, patios, and the secure courtyard. People say the setting is warm, inviting, and feels like a hotel, with resort-style amenities such as all day restaurant-style dining, an in-house theater, a resident fitness center, a yoga studio, and a salon for haircuts and styles. There are regular musical programs and many group activities that help everyone connect and enjoy each other's company. Staff help with cooking, cleaning, laundry, and other chores, and there are programs that focus on wellness, social connections, and healthy aging. Residents have choices for how they want to live, eat, and spend their time, and the facility is committed to keeping everyone as safe and comfortable as possible. While Sage Mountain is not part of the Elderwerks network, it offers specialized support for a range of care needs, and the atmosphere aims to help residents feel cared for and even lucky to be there.
