Carefield Living

After my father-in-law was diagnosed with dementia and lost his wife, it became clear he could no longer care for himself. It was an incredibly difficult time for our family, but finding The Artesian has been a true blessing. The peace of mind we feel knowing he is safe, well cared for, and surrounded by a team of wonderful, compassionate staff is priceless. The Artesian has provided him with not only the care he needs but also the warmth and respect he deserves. We are so grateful to everyone at The Artesian for the incredible work they do and the kindness they show every day. It has made all the difference for our family, knowing he is in such capable hands.

The Artesian is a perfect place for my mom. Diagnosed with dementia she has been for the past 2 yrs. Always given exceptional care from the kind and caring staff. Mom is treated like a loved one by all. The staff provided safe, loving, and experienced care to all residents. My moms clean, happy and thankful to be at this Artesian.

Our parents have been residents of the Artesian of Ojai for one year now. From the first interview with the director, we have experienced professionalism, kindness, and caring. All the staff that interacts with our parents have been wonderful. The food is great and activities have been fun. The facility is bright and new. Moving was an adjustment but we all feel this is the best place for our parents. Having meals, cleaning, and laundry all included is wonderful. We have gone to many events/activities as a family and feel it is a good fit. We are very happy we did the research and arrived at The Artesian!

My father’s been at The Artesian of Ojai for 2 years. The caregivers and staff genuinely care about my dad and treat him like family. The community and activities are engaging which helps him connect with new people. Since he has been at the Artesian I have found that my relationship with him has improved and now when I see dad, it’s all about catching up and making memories.

Our experience with The Artesian of Ojai has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were greeted with warmth and genuine care. The staff are incredibly attentive, always going above and beyond to ensure the residents feel valued, safe, and truly at home. We are so grateful to have found a home for our grandmother knowing she is safe and thriving in such a supportive environment gives us tremendous peace of mind. We highly recommend The Artesian to anyone seeking a place where quality care and compassion are at the heart of everything they do.

Great experience tour an assisted living. I was met by wonderful staff members and residents. Upon entering you get a feeling of tranquility and warmth. Tour was lovely with [name removed] and got to meet some of her team members.

Upon every arrival our welcomes are always greeted grandly by upbeat happy smiling friendly staff members. Our impression is the home is greatly & pridefully cared for...smells amazing, looks amazing... nothing or anyone out of place! So Professionally Run! Glad my parents call Madonna Home! Outstanding Staff! Always happy, loving, joyful, supportive, over & beyond personal treatment. Employees treat all residents & each other with enduring kindness (feels like family). Personalized care and attention. Accommodating likes, dislikes and comfort. Staff, bending down on knees to look into residents eyes, listening intentionally, communicating in ways that deeply touch hearts.l Madonna Staff include all residents gently encouraging participation. Impressive planned daily activities. Activity Directors top notch. Staff members never miss a beat always working so hard taking pride in all they do. You can tell & often share they all love being apart of the Madonna Family...

We moved our dad from another facility to the The Artesian of Ojai 2 1/2 years ago and we are so glad we did! The staff TRULY CARE. The home-like layout of the buildings is perfect. His favorite activities the musical gathering and local outings. It is wonderful to not worry and to know that Dad is safe and well cared for at the Artesian.

I wanted to express my gratitude and appreciation for the warm welcome we experienced during our recent tour of the facility. The staff's friendly demeanor and hospitality made a lasting impression on my mother and me. In particular, the lunch we enjoyed was exceptional, with two options on the menu from which to choose. Our selection was the salmon, which was thoroughly enjoyable. We were also impressed by the chef's enthusiasm and professionalism in introducing himself to us. Although my mother and I ultimately chose another facility, it was due to our situation being on a waiting list at the time, and not because of any shortcomings in the service or amenities offered by your facility. The community was indeed our first choice.

I would rate Madonna Gardens as a 5 in each of the seven categories you listed. [name removed] was essential in my choosing Madonna Gardens for my wife. She was very helpful in answering my questions to insure that my wife would be happy. My tells me every day that she loves being there. The staff is very friendly and caring.

Park Visalia is a clean, welcoming facility and filled with attentive staff. Residents enjoy a safe, comfortable environment with engaging activities.I'm proud to be a part of this wonderful team

Park Visalia Memory Care is a remarkable facility dedicated to providing a clean, safe, and nurturing environment for individuals with care needs. As someone who works here, I can personally attest to the commitment of the team to ensure every resident feels respected, valued, and at home. The facility is beautifully maintained, with bright, spacious rooms and common areas that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Every space is designed with safety and accessibility in mind, ensuring that residents can move around easily while feeling comfortable and secure. The outdoor spaces are equally impressive, offering a peaceful environment where residents can enjoy fresh air and nature in a safe, enclosed area. What truly sets Park Visalia apart is the compassionate and skilled staff. The caregivers go above and beyond to provide personalized care, taking the time to understand each resident’s unique needs and preferences.

I was invited for a lunch tour because I am looking to place my dad somewhere. We were greeted by so many of the staff and people who live there and everywhere was so nice. The food was way better than I would have expected and it felt like we were in a restaurant. The head chef even came out and introduced herself to us. This place was impressive for sure.

We have seen staff members from all departments take the time to talk to the residents rather than rush about doing their jobs. The front desk is always so welcoming and helpful. The lifestyle team is fantastic. The male lifestyle member’s laugh brightens the room and we love it when he sings with the residents. The new director has been a great addition to their team. We have seen such a change in the community. Everything looks elegant, clean, and we enjoy seeing the door decorations they create during their craft programs.

This has been one of the cleanest communities I have seen and been to while visiting. The staff is extremely friendly, and truly care about the residents. I would highly recommend touring the beautiful community, as checking out there large and well maintained Courtyard- something you don’t see in senior communities often! Also the food is so yummy and seems really nutritious.

After finding that my dad couldn’t care for himself anymore and received a diagnosis of dementia, I searched the area for a place that would feel most homelike. The Artesian has been his home for almost a year now and we have come to appreciate the staff and community there. He always has the opportunity to visit with others through activities or gathering in the main areas, but is also able to spend time on his own when he prefers. The caregivers have been kind and accommodating to him and have become like family.

After much research about facilities in the area we decided on the Artesian of Ojai for my mom. We couldn’t be happier about our choice. They make fresh, healthy food from scratch. The staff is super communicative and professional. The caregivers are super loving and patient. We just have great peace of mind with my mom here. Just a great facility overall.

We have been absolutely amazed with the Artesian. They have been nothing but professional and wonderful since day one. They have taken great care of our loved ones. The staff is professional and loving. They address every concern we have immediately and the place feels so warm and loving. We love that they cook home style meals daily, we love the activities they offer and the grounds are so well kept. Everything is clean and beautiful. They are truly a blessing.

Our family’s search for the best assisted living community for our mother lead us to The Artesian of Ojai where our mother has been residing for several months. The Artesian has exceeded all of our expectations and hopes. With its Mediterranean style architecture and landscaping, and stunning mountain views, The Artesian’s grounds and setting couldn’t be lovelier. Additionally, we can rest at ease knowing that our mother is in a safe and secure environment. The property is fully fenced, with locks on all the gates, and a concierge stationed in the main entrance. Most importantly, the quality of care that our mother receives is of the highest caliber. Our mother’s care team and all of the staff go above and beyond to provide personalized care based on our mother’s individual needs and preferences. The Care Director proactively communicates and collaborates with our mother’s MDs, with other health care providers and with us. We are so grateful for the quality of life our mother now has!

Very caring and honest personel. Great food. Lovely court yard. Gourmet food, and happy residence. The young staff keeps things lively.
