Many families exploring senior care for the first time start with in-home caregivers – a part-time arrangement that works until the senior’s needs grow beyond what’s manageable at home. The next step is often a small board-and-care home rather than a large assisted living community, because the small-home setting offers the closest thing to the home environment the senior is leaving behind. Before move-in, California requires a Physician’s Report from a doctor, and Doctor2me physicians can come to the senior’s home for that exam, so the medical step doesn’t add a clinic trip to the rest of the transition.

Select Senior Living IV is a six-bed assisted living and memory care home at 128 Erten Street in Thousand Oaks, California. It is one of four sister homes in the family-owned Select Senior Living operation, which has been established in Thousand Oaks since 2002 – over two decades of continuous operation under the same family. Location IV sits on Erten Street alongside Location II (113 Erten), creating a small Select Senior Living presence within a single Thousand Oaks neighborhood.

What Type of Community Is Select Senior Living IV?

Select Senior Living IV is a Residential Care for the Elderly (RCFE) facility operating in the board-and-care home format – a small residential model housing no more than six residents at a time. Under California Title 22, an RCFE provides housing, meals, and assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, medication management, and personal care.

The home accepts a notably broad scope of care needs for a board-and-care setting, including residents who are non-ambulatory, residents needing incontinence care, and residents on diabetic diets. The facility also operates with hospice and dementia waivers, allowing residents in advanced stages of memory loss or terminal illness to remain at the home rather than being transferred elsewhere when their care needs progress.

How Long Has the Family Business Operated?

Select Senior Living has been operating in Thousand Oaks since 2002 – over 20 years as a family-owned business across multiple Thousand Oaks locations. The same family has gradually expanded from a single home to four locations (I, II, III, and IV), all within the same operational philosophy and care model.

This kind of multi-decade family operation is one of the operational differences between independently owned board-and-care homes and corporate-owned senior care chains. Same family, same care model, same neighborhood ties – over 20 years.

How Does the Erten Street Location Connect to Other Select Senior Living Homes?

Select Senior Living IV sits on Erten Street alongside its sister home Select Senior Living II at 113 Erten Street – two of the four Select Senior Living homes on a single Thousand Oaks street. The full Select Senior Living portfolio is:

Select Senior Living I – 1363 Feather Avenue
Select Senior Living II – 113 Erten Street
Select Senior Living III – 1959 Hendrix Avenue
Select Senior Living IV – 128 Erten Street (this home)

For families approaching placement, having multiple sister homes within the same operation – some quite literally next door to each other – provides flexibility: if one home is at capacity, another may have an opening; if a particular property layout is a better match for the prospective resident, the family can compare directly within the same operator’s portfolio.

What Care Capabilities Are Offered?

Select Senior Living IV provides a broader scope of care than many California board-and-care homes:

24-hour personal care with a nurse on call around the clock
Specialized care for residents with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease
Hospice waiver – residents in advanced stages of terminal illness can remain at the home for end-of-life care
Dementia waiver – allows the home to support residents at later stages of memory loss who would otherwise need transfer to a memory care community
Non-ambulatory residents accepted – a capability many board-and-care homes do not offer
Incontinence care
Transfer and ambulation assistance
Feeding assistance for residents who need it
Diabetic diet preparation and special dietary needs
Planned transportation for medical and dental appointments

This combination of capabilities – particularly the hospice waiver, dementia waiver, and acceptance of non-ambulatory residents – makes Select Senior Living IV viable for residents whose care needs exceed what some smaller board-and-care homes are able to manage.

What Healthcare and DME Coordination Is Handled?

Like all California RCFEs, Select Senior Living IV does not provide on-site physician care – residents retain their own physicians and receive medical care through external providers. Doctor2me physicians visit residents directly at the home for routine checkups, chronic condition management, medication reviews, and the pre-admission Physician’s Report California requires before move-in.

Many residents also need durable medical equipment (DME) at some point – hospital beds, wheelchairs, walkers, oxygen concentrators, CPAP machines, bathroom safety equipment. DME is typically covered under Medicare Part B or Medi-Cal when prescribed by a physician. Ventura County families can work through Medlife Medical Supply – a Ventura County DME provider operating in California since 1996 and contracted with Medicare, Medi-Cal, Healthnet, and LA Care – to arrange equipment for residents at Select Senior Living IV.

What Memory Care and Dementia Support Is Available?

Memory care is one of the core capabilities at Select Senior Living IV. The home accepts residents with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other forms of memory loss – and the dementia waiver means residents can remain in the home as their condition progresses, rather than being transferred to a specialized memory care community at a later stage.

The small six-resident environment is particularly well suited to dementia care. Residents with memory loss often experience disorientation and behavioral symptoms when surrounded by too much sensory stimulation – the kind of stimulation that larger communities create with multiple shared spaces, rotating staff, and active group programming. The smaller scale offers a calmer baseline: fewer faces to track, fewer routines to learn, fewer unfamiliar sounds. Staff working the same shifts week after week means residents with dementia see consistent caregivers, providing the stability that supports cognitive change.

Where Is Select Senior Living IV Located?

Select Senior Living IV is at 128 Erten Street in Thousand Oaks, California – an affluent city in Ventura County known for its Spanish-themed architecture, abundant parks and open space, and proximity to the Conejo Valley wine region. The Erten Street neighborhood is a quiet residential pocket of Thousand Oaks, with multiple senior care homes operating on the same street.

The Thousand Oaks location places residents within easy reach of Los Robles Hospital & Medical Center, Thousand Oaks Surgical Hospital, The Oaks Mall, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, and the Civic Arts Plaza – a meaningful medical and cultural infrastructure for an area built on retirement-friendly amenities.
