By the time a family is moving a parent with dementia into assisted living, they have usually been managing care alone for longer than they originally planned. The Physician’s Report California requires before admission is one more administrative step that adds to an already taxing process. Doctor2me physicians can come out to the senior’s home for the Physician’s Report, removing one trip from the move-in logistics – and once the senior is placed, the same in-home approach can continue for routine medical care at the residential care home.

Lovely Community Healthcare 2 is a six-bed assisted living board-and-care home at 1423 Dover Avenue in Thousand Oaks, California – the second of two Thousand Oaks homes operated by the same family business. The community operates under CDSS license 567609646. Lovely Community Healthcare 2 sits in a quiet residential pocket of Thousand Oaks, with the sister facility (Lovely Community Healthcare, on West Norman Avenue) within a short walk.

The Second of Two Lovely Community Healthcare Homes

Lovely Community Healthcare operates two licensed board-and-care homes in Thousand Oaks under the same family ownership. The original Lovely Community Healthcare opened on West Norman Avenue in 2017; Lovely Community Healthcare 2 followed at 1423 Dover Avenue, expanding the operator’s small Thousand Oaks portfolio.

For families approaching senior placement, the existence of two sister homes nearby offers practical flexibility. If one is at capacity, the other may have an opening. If a particular layout or room arrangement fits a specific resident better, the family can compare directly within the same operator’s portfolio. And from an operational standpoint, having two homes nearby gives the family business a degree of staffing depth and shared resources that a single-home operation can’t match – staff can often cover between locations when needed, and operational knowledge accumulates across both sites.

What a Six-Bed Home Setting Looks Like

Lovely Community Healthcare 2 houses up to six residents at a time – the small board-and-care format that differs structurally from larger 30+ bed assisted living communities. The practical experience is closer to living in a residential home with a small number of others than to institutional care. Residents share common spaces, meals are prepared in a household kitchen, and staff are present continuously rather than rotating across large halls.

Day-to-day care typically includes:

24-hour supervision with staff present continuously
Assistance with all Activities of Daily Living – bathing, dressing, transfers, grooming, toileting, hygiene
Medication management
Mobility support for residents using walkers, canes, or wheelchairs
Meals prepared on-site by household staff
Individualized care planning rather than standardized care levels

The intimate scale tends to reduce stress during the transition period from a senior’s longtime home. Fewer faces to learn, fewer routines to navigate, fewer unfamiliar sounds at night. For residents with memory loss in particular, the small environment provides the consistent, low-stimulation setting that supports cognitive change.

How Dementia-Focused Family Support Works for Local Families

Choosing the right small board-and-care home is one decision in a longer caregiving journey that families with dementia face. Many families benefit from working with a Certified Dementia Practitioner alongside the move into assisted living – someone who can guide them through the medical, legal, financial, and emotional decisions that the disease creates over time. Ronda Wilkin’s practice serves Thousand Oaks and the broader Conejo Valley with exactly this kind of family support: care decisions consultation, crisis intervention, senior housing placement guidance, and referrals to elder law attorneys, financial planners, VA Aid and Attendance specialists, and other resources families need over the course of the disease. The practice has worked with over 500 families across Southern California since 2002, with deep ties in the Conejo Valley region where Lovely Community Healthcare 2 is located.

How Healthcare Is Coordinated at the Home

Like all California RCFEs, Lovely Community Healthcare 2 doesn’t provide on-site physician care – residents retain their own physicians, with medical care arranged externally. For routine primary care visits that can be done in-home, Doctor2me’s network of physicians provides house calls across California – covering routine checkups, chronic condition management, medication reviews, and the pre-admission Physician’s Report California requires before move-in. For board-and-care residents – many of whom have mobility limitations or cognitive impairment that make clinic visits especially difficult – in-home physician care reduces the friction of routine medical follow-up.

Practical Details for Families Considering a Tour

Lovely Community Healthcare 2 is on Dover Avenue in Thousand Oaks – a quiet residential pocket of the Conejo Valley, in Ventura County. Thousand Oaks is known for its Spanish-themed architecture, abundant parks and open space, and proximity to the Los Robles Hospital & Medical Center and Thousand Oaks Surgical Hospital corridor.

The location places residents within easy reach of Thousand Oaks’ medical infrastructure (Weight First is 0.2 miles away; Los Robles Hospital is approximately 3 miles), shopping at The Oaks Mall, and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. The 91360 ZIP code area is established residential Thousand Oaks, appropriate for senior residential care.
