Mom's Place III sits in a quiet residential neighborhood in Camarillo, California, where large estate homes line the street, and the air seems a little slower. This is a small assisted living and memory care home, licensed as an RCFE under California's #565850347, with only 6 beds in each house, so residents get a lot of attention-it's three full-time caregivers for every six seniors, and staff includes nurses on call, a staff dietitian, and doctors and dentists available if needed. The home lets residents stay in shared quarters, studios, or one-bedroom suites, most furnished and all set up with emergency alert systems and wheelchair accessible features like roll-in showers and tubs, while private baths are available in some rooms; people can even bring their small dogs, as long as they're under a certain weight.
Care at Mom's Place III includes custom plans that fit each person's needs, from help with dressing, bathing, moving around, medications, and transfers, to support with memory care, incontinence, or high-acuity conditions like diabetes or arthritis, plus help with activities of daily living. A nurse always reviews care, and there's monitoring for safety along with home health and hospice services if they're needed, and they do case management and advocacy, bill paying, and help with medical appointments too. Short-term or respite care is welcome, so families can have a break, and residents can stay short or long term, aging in place as their needs increase.
Meals come three times a day in a dining room, with a menu that's friendly to dementia needs and special diets, all managed by the dietitian, and they include snacks too. Housekeeping, laundry, and bathroom cleaning happen as part of daily routines. There's a community kitchen and a café for those who want variety, and a reading corner and a game room for quiet time or activities, plus movie nights, group meals, walking paths, gardens, and language support in English, German, Russian, and Filipino. The care home runs devotional activities for many faiths-Christian, Buddhist, Islamic, Adventist-and both indoor and outdoor common spaces are open to all, so seniors find something that suits the mood of the day.
Mom's Place III offers transportation for appointments, shopping, or events, with resident parking if someone still drives, and there's a hair salon, podiatrist visits, and therapist support for physical, occupational and speech needs. The staff keep up a busy calendar, so residents can join in social and educational activities on and off site; services help people get around the building safely. The goal is really plain: help each person feel comfortable, respected, and supported, so they can hold onto as much independence as possible. With a maximum of six people in each home, Mom's Place III feels cozy, more like a home than a big facility, and the extra attention makes a difference, especially for folks with memory conditions. The typical cost is about $3,811 a month, covering care and meals, though funding can come from private pay, Medicare, Medicaid, or long-term care insurance. Seniors and families should know that they take care of men or women, depending on the house, and each location-Mom's Place III - Valley Vista, the second location on Los Posas Estates, and the Camarillo Heights care center-sticks to the same ideas: comfort, safety, and support, without bells and whistles, just good care and staff who know the residents by name.
