FamilyCare Cottages is a senior living community that sits about 3.6 miles from Thousand Oaks, California, and has a license number 565801505 from the California Department of Social Services, valid through August 18, 2025. Ms. Lisa Krohn and Ms. Debra Bryant manage the business, which has over a decade of experience as a family-owned company focused on helping families find good care for their elderly loved ones. The community runs a small 6-bed residential care facility, known as Family Care Cottages II, and provides services like assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, residential care, nursing home support, and in-home care, all in a licensed care setting certified by state and local agencies. Staff and caregivers offer help with daily activities, such as bathing, dressing, and medication management, and everyone gets 24-hour supervision if needed.
Rooms come in different studio layouts, all furnished, with telephones and basic furniture. Residents can use amenities like housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and emergency alert systems, and there's organized move-in help for new arrivals. Meals-including special diets for allergies or diabetes-are served in a dining room with both scheduled and all-day dining options. The grounds have walking paths, gardens, and parking, while the transportation service, social activities, and educational programs help people stay active. Staff coordinate with healthcare providers and help with transfers and non-ambulatory care so each resident gets the right level of support or memory care.
FamilyCare Cottages feels much like a private home, with adult foster homes and board and care options for a maximum of 10 residents, where everyone gets to know each other, the caregivers make time for engaging activities and social events, and people enjoy a mix of independence and personal support. The memory care unit has a securely monitored area, with individual care plans and daily routines to help memory function and reduce wandering. The team aims to listen to residents' choices and needs, focusing on personalized assessments and ongoing support, and they offer paperwork help and guidance through the move-in process, even as they support families through difficult transitions with compassion and understanding. The cottages don't list their prices and don't accept Medicare unless they get certified, but they do stay up to date with licensing and government regulations, and the community welcomes seniors looking for supportive living and good care near the shops, restaurants, and parks of Thousand Oaks.
