The Artesian of Ojai

Each time that I visit The Artesian located in Ojai, I am always immediately struck by the calming beauty and elegant charm the Mediterranean architecture permeates as you walk around the grounds and the sense of “home” I feel when I enter the inner sanctuaries. You can feel the care that went into the design of this senior living residence. But, more importantly, I have known others whose parents have lived at The Artesian and they all speak so highly of the positive experience their parents have enjoyed. I often reflect on how The Artesian would definitely be top on my list to consider as a residence for my aging parent.

Our parents moved into the Artesian in December 2023. This was a quick decision as they had been living on their own until November and many things happened that made it apparent that they were no longer able to live on their own. I reached out to two Ojai facilities and found that The Artesian had more to offer. Opened in 2020 it was so shiny and new! We loved it. My parents have adjusted well and enjoy all the members of the community. The staff is amazing and so caring. The are now eating three wonderful meals a day and are safe and secure in their cute "apartment". There are many activities for them to participate in and also some throughout each month for families to attend. There is no pressure from staff to participate in any of them, if that's not your thing, which is great. We w

The Artesian of Ojai is a one of a kind facility that offers many aspects of amazing care for your loved ones. From Daniel, who always greets you at the front desk with a huge smile, to Amber, Andrea, CeCe, Jackie & Michelle who manage to take standards of care to the highest level possible. The Artesian has varying levels of care for our elderly loved ones. The facility is super clean, the common areas are spotless & furniture is new & comfortable. Home-made meals at every sitting. Every resident is clean & taken care of with every need addressed. No poop smell here! Residents are treated to different activities on & off property, games & exercises that stimulate mind & body. Frequent communication between caregivers, staff & family let you keep abreast of all changes & resident needs. W

Our father has been at the Artesian for about 6 months and we are so pleased with the care and comfort he receives there. The staff are all so caring, friendly, attentive, and approachable. Seems like the owners of the facility are there at least once a week doing chores, and chatting with everyone. :-) We love the way the beautiful new buildings are laid out with a central kitchen/dining room, living room, and den for each building. It truly feels like a home! (unlike other facilities that feel more like a hotel) What a relief it is to have finally found his "forever home". UPDATE: Dad's been at The Artesian of Ojai almost 2 years and we are still very pleased. It's very home-like, he can retreat to his private room to read or nap, or go to the common areas for conversation and acti

We moved my mother to the Artesian toward the end of the pandemic from another assisted living facility in the Ojai valley. The layout of each building at the Artesian with 16 studios off a common living, dining, and kitchen area was far superior to her previous facility which required residents to walk to the common areas for dining and social activities. The Artesian's layout insured that staff, friends and neighbors are always close at hand. This became critical during the isolation of the pandemic and improved my mother's state of mind immediately. The staff was terrific from day one, each member incredibly attentive, compassionate, caring and patient. There were a few technical glitches in the beginning with some of their mechanical systems as one might expect from any new facili
