Before move-in to a California licensed care community, every resident needs a completed LIC 602 Physician’s Report on file. For board and care homes, where the resident-to-staff ratio is high and care is delivered up close, the LIC 602 also serves as a working document for the caregivers themselves – the medication list, allergies, and care preferences that make day one feel less improvised. Doctor2me handles the visit at the senior’s current address through its LIC 602 referral service.
The Legacy Collection at Sidlee is a 6-bed residential care home at 24 W Sidlee Street in Thousand Oaks, California, Ventura County.
The home is one of two locations operated under The Legacy Collection brand, a locally owned senior care network in Thousand Oaks. The sister location, The Legacy Collection at Marian, sits at 1730 N Marian Avenue – also in Thousand Oaks, with similar care philosophy and a slightly larger footprint.
According to BBB records, the Sidlee location began operating in October 2024, making it the newer of the two homes. Both operate as small board and care RCFEs serving the wider Thousand Oaks area, including Westlake Village, Camarillo, Newbury Park, Agoura Hills, and Calabasas.

What Type of Facility Is The Legacy Collection at Sidlee?
Sidlee is a six-bed board and care home – California’s smallest licensed RCFE category. Six residents, one or two caregivers per shift, single-family residential building. This is the opposite end of the spectrum from a 100-bed assisted living campus.
For families weighing a six-bed home against a larger facility, the differences are concrete. In a six-bed home, the caregiver knows each resident by name, history, medications, and routine within a week. In a 100-bed facility, the same level of familiarity may never develop because of staff rotations and resident turnover. The trade-off is amenities and programming: a six-bed home cannot offer a full activities calendar, transportation fleet, or on-site clinical staff. What it offers is consistency.
How Long Has the Sidlee Location Been Operating?
Sidlee opened in October 2024. The Legacy Collection’s other home, Marian Avenue, has been operating longer. Both homes share ownership and operating philosophy.
The newer license date is worth knowing for placement decisions. There is less of an established pattern of family reviews and inspection history compared to homes that have been running for a decade or more. On the other hand, a recently licensed home means newer infrastructure – freshly furnished rooms, current safety equipment, and emergency call systems installed to the most recent standards.
What Services Does the Home Provide?

How Does Care Look Different in a Six-Bed Home?
In a six-bed home, the caregiver is not running between residents on a tight schedule. Meals are shared at a single dining table, not delivered on rolling carts. Bathing happens at the resident’s pace. Medication times are flexible enough to accommodate individual patterns – a resident who sleeps late and wakes hungry can have a hot breakfast at 10:30 instead of being held to the 7:30 schedule of a larger facility.
The clinical implications are real. Behavioural changes, pressure sore beginnings, gait changes that signal a fall risk – these get caught faster when one caregiver knows six people well than when one caregiver knows thirty people superficially. For families with a parent who is medically complex, a small home is often a deliberate choice rather than a fallback option.
How Is On-Site Medical Care Arranged for Residents?
Routine Physician Visits at the Home
Doctor2me physicians visit residents directly at the home for routine checkups, chronic condition follow-ups, and urgent issues that don’t warrant an ER trip. Same-day or scheduled visits cover primary care work, alongside the LIC 602 evaluations admission requires.
Families can pick a specific physician from the Doctor2me provider directory when continuity with a known doctor matters – useful when a resident has had a long-term relationship with a physician they want to continue seeing.
Hospice and End-of-Life Support
How Do Residents Get to Outside Appointments?
Some appointments still require travel – specialist consultations, dialysis, infusion therapy, post-surgical follow-ups, hospital admissions and discharges. For wheelchair-bound or non-ambulatory residents, regular taxis and rideshare are not practical or safe.
MediZoom Transportation, a veteran-owned non-emergency medical transportation service serving all of Ventura County and surrounding areas, handles this category with gurney, wheelchair, and ambulatory vehicles, door-through-door service, and CPR/First Aid certified drivers. Trips include medical appointments, dialysis, chemotherapy, physical therapy, and hospital admissions and discharges.
Where Is the Sidlee Location?
West Sidlee Street is in central Thousand Oaks, in a residential neighborhood west of Thousand Oaks Boulevard. The setting is quiet and walkable, with retail, pharmacy, and grocery access within a short distance.
Los Robles Hospital and Medical Center is roughly four miles from the home – the primary acute care hospital serving the Conejo Valley. Adventist Health Simi Valley sits about 13 miles east. The CDSS Community Care Licensing Division handles regional inspections of RCFEs through its Ventura Regional Office under Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations.
Families based in Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park, Westlake Village, Camarillo, Agoura Hills, Simi Valley, or Calabasas find the home within easy visiting distance.
