What Is Assisted Living Like at The Artesian of Ojai?

The Artesian of Ojai is committed to delivering individualized care based on the needs of each resident. To foster strong caregiver-resident relationships, we pair each resident with a personal “guide.” Each guide will work with a resident on a regular basis providing assistance with grooming and hygiene, coordinating activities, attending meals, and receiving medical care. Each of our caregiver-resident relationships is based on trust that is developed over time through mutual understanding. Our highly-trained team members aim to provide a perfect balance between support and independence.

The Artesian of Ojai Employs Highly Trained Team Members

Team members include a licensed nurse that supervises the care needs of each resident. The daily routine of residents is managed by a support staff of “guides”. Our guides complete 40 hours of pre-training and 20 hours of additional training annually. They often become a part of our residents’ extended families with relationships forged on respect and trust. Our team takes a careful approach to supporting residents’ comfort and independence in their assisted living home while still providing the medical care that they require. If there is ever a medical emergency, each apartment has a 24-hour call system to meet immediate needs.

We Promote Active Engagement Among Assisted Living Residents

An element of wellness and health that often gets overlooked is maintaining a life of engagement and purpose. The health benefits from a purposeful lifestyle are immeasurable, which is why we work tirelessly to promote active participation among residents. We create an individual profile for each resident by considering answers to a short questionnaire about health history, habits, hobbies, recreational preferences, and emotional status. Based on the results, we will pair residents with activities that are meaningful to them. Our activity areas support games, art classes, musical therapy, and entertainment.
