9 West Sidlee LLC (also known as Thousand Oaks Home Care II) is a specialized Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) located in a private residence. It operates on a “board-and-care” model, providing round-the-clock care in a quiet, family-like atmosphere.
The facility is licensed by the State of California and accommodates only six residents, eliminating the hustle and bustle typical of large institutions.
Strategic Advantages
Why this location stands out among other options:
-
Proximity to Medical Care: The home is located just 0.5 miles (about 800 meters) from Los Robles Regional Medical Center. In an emergency, an ambulance can arrive in 2–3 minutes. This is a critical safety factor for the elderly.
-
Network Reliability: The facility is part of the Thousand Oaks Home Care group (which unites about 5 homes). Unlike standalone private homes, this network has backup staff available to cover shifts in case of illness, ensuring continuity of care.
Cost and Reputation
Estimated Pricing:
- Shared room: from $4,000 per month.
- Private room: from $5,300 – $5,500 per month.
- Note: This is a competitive price for the Thousand Oaks area, where the average cost is often higher.
Reviews: Families note the stability of the resident population (long-term residency) and the warm atmosphere created by staff members who have worked there for years.
Living Conditions
Small Scale: The absence of crowds and noise is ideal for people with dementia or anxiety.
Interiors: Shared living and dining areas for communal time, and cozy bedrooms for rest.
Outdoor Space: There is a secure courtyard where residents can get fresh air without leaving the premises.
Services and Daily Care
Staff are on-site 24/7. The basic service package includes:
Personal Hygiene: Assistance with bathing, dressing, toileting, and grooming.
Medication: Full control of medication administration (storage, dispensing, logging).
Meals: Home-cooked food (3 times a day + snacks), prepared with dietary needs in mind.
Housekeeping: Room cleaning, linen changing, and personal laundry are included in the cost.
Leisure: Socialization happens naturally—conversations in the living room, watching TV, light activities, and birthday celebrations.
Medical Care
In-Room Visits: Residents can use the Doctor2me service to have a doctor visit directly in their bedroom. This eliminates the stress of traveling to a clinic.
Specialists: Visits from specialist doctors can be arranged upon request.
Coordination: Doctors work in tandem with the home’s staff, updating the care plan after every visit.
