The Lexington Assisted Living

Just an hour north of Los Angeles, California rests The Lexington Assisted Living community. We are proud to provide a variety of care services to our residents through our independent living, assisted living, and memory care programs. Our English Tudor-style community is comfortable, polished, and full of community spaces, service-oriented caregivers, and state-of-the-art amenities. We are located in the heart of the Ventura community — near local shopping, restaurants, and medical centers, so residents can stay connected to the surrounding area.

Community Amenities and Services

No two residents have the same needs, which is why our team of caregivers are equipped to provide a variety of services. We specialize in providing memory care, ambulatory care, incontinence care, and medication management among other specific services. A wide range of community doctors, therapists, and nurses are available to make on-site visits to aid in residents’ care when necessary.

All meals are provided for residents in our restaurant-style dining room. We believe nutrition is a cornerstone of wellness, and we work hard to provide satisfying meals that meet the dietary needs of residents. Need an accommodation made? Just let us know.

In between meals, take advantage of our indoor and outdoor community spaces and...

Our family's experience

The room is large, recently renovated, clean, quiet. The activities are good, food is great. The only real issue I have is that I feel they are understaffed, especially in memory care. Only one person on duty at any given time. That means if one resident needs special assistance lasting more than a few minutes then everyone else is ignored. There isn't a good system for keeping track of clothing so everyone is wearing everyone else's clothes, but that doesn't bother me too much Overall, it's been a positive experience for my brother and me. Since my mother has dementia, it has been terrifying for her but that's to be expected anywhere she would go. I want to stress that the Lexington is an excellent facility that is a good value. Not top of the range but you get more than you pay for, in my opinion.

Review for The Lexington Assisted Living

There was a definite adjustment period. It was not smooth sailing in the beginning. I figured out face-to-face meetings got things accomplished.

After taking my mother to see five or so facilities, she chose The Lexington Assisted Living. After a year, my mother still likes it there, because of the people. They have a new Director who is implementing some nice changes to the facility. I would recommend The Lexington Assisted Living to others.

Our Experience

I would like to say first that The Lexington is our only experience with assisted living care, so I have nothing to compare it to. The staff are very friendly and always try to be helpful. Sometimes my parents get the wrong laundry back, or items go missing for awhile, not often. I've learned to put their apt# or last name on their stuff. The med techs are very good and quick with communication for any problems or concerns. The food is okay. Some days the main meal is better than others, but they always have other options, like a burger or sandwich. My mom complains of not enough fresh fruit or veggies, so I bring them that from the store. The facility is older, but always clean. The workers are very sweet and helpful to my parents. As far as a recommendation, I would guess it is about as good as any. We chose The Lexington for it's proximity to my mom's friends and for the swimming pool. Unfortunately, the pool has remained closed the whole time.

Caring and Professional

The place is older but clean. The food is pretty darn good. There are always activities throughout the day as well as movies, ice cream socials and when it's warm, hot dogs and burgers in the courtyard. Happy Hour, too! Both the administrative and attending staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They seem to want the residents to be healthy and happy. They encourage visiting by family and friends. There is a pool, as well. Not many facilities have that! As far as cost, I did my research, and the Lexington is a comparable value to what is out there. They really worked with us to make sure my dad and stepmom had the accommodations that they would be happy with. The medical staff seems competent, and they are in contact with me about everything that may occur, from toenails needing clipping to a fall. I feel comfortable with my loved ones living there.

Don’t take your loved ones here

My stepmom went without medication for over 24 hours, hasn’t been bathed in a week and has been manhandled by staff. The management is not professional and they don’t care about the residents. Moved her in a week ago and have already made arrangements to move her. As an aside, the food is served cold and is not nutritious.

If You Want Decent Food, Don't Come Here

The food is horrible. My loved one hates food available. The food is cold and the coffee is cold. Each day the community offers a hamburger or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to the residents. There needs to be more variety for the residents to choose from for meals and better nutrition. The community has a new general manager, so I'm hopeful the food will improve as well. The community is taking care of my loved one.

Our experience with The Lexington

The administrative staff here was amazing, I was a huge fan of them and they are great with communication. Memory care was lacking help, it was a 1:8 ratio and that did not work for the care that my mom needed.

My review of The Lexington Assisted Living (Pinnacle Senior Living)

Our family was able to have an in person tour, and we were very impressed with the place itself. However even though the tour guide was very nice, he did not seemed prepared to answer our basic questions. He also did not really put in an effort to find someone to answer those questions. The attitude seemed very lackadaisical for being the face of the community.

Better than our family home

The staff are just amazing. They are warm, friendly, approachable, and just super people. It's like living in a healthy home environment. The food is good and like home cooking. We searched and visited several places that were fancy and hotel like, but here they were warm and sincere. The residents and the staff are friendly and compassionate. My mom says it's the best thing ever. She is happy as a clam and is really thrilled to be living there. During COVID, the communication has been great. They send a weekly email update. I love the way they are handling things with gloves, masks, and taking temperatures when people enter the building, they have had no cases.

Everyone very friendly and helpful. I think it is a good value - for someone that doesn't need a lot of care. I always find it clean. The response time is not always as fast as you'd like if you have an issue.

I toured The Lexington. Very clean and comfortable Community. Loved the staff ratio in Memory Care. Very nice courtyard and large dining room. Dining room accommodates all residents rather than set seating like other communities I’ve visited. 24 hr front desk staff is a real plus. Staff seemed knowledgeable and caring to my family needs.

Great Community!

The Lexington is a great community surrounded by wonderful caregivers and other staff. There's a reason this community has been 95% occupied for over 30 years- they care! Residents and their families aren't just another number, everyone is treated as family

Went on tour and was very pleased with what I saw. Waiting on contact for individual pricing of services. This will decide if there will be a move or not. Since my mom needs more help the add on prices adds on far beyond what I can pay

My sisters comfort.

This is a good community for excellent care. The community is clean and well maintained for her to enjoy. They have a nice variety of meals. They offer her alot of activities that she is participating with the other residents. She likes being able to go on small trips outside of the community. We are happy with the care and the value of this community.

Too small!

I did not like Lexington Assisted Living when I toured. The rooms were extremely small, they were only about 200 feet which are the size of a large closet. Everyone there was nice, but it seemed like a place for people who needed a higher level of care than my father, so it was not going to be a good fit.
