The Norma J’s Home for the Elderly II
The home is at 73 Marimar St, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360, in Ventura County. It holds California RCFE license number 565802455, licensed for six residents, under Tiede Senior Care Inc, with Loretta Louise Tiede listed as the facility administrator. The license has been in place since August 2017.
Six beds is the number that matters most on this page. It puts the home in a different category from the large communities families usually tour first, and it comes with a specific set of advantages and a specific set of limits. Both are worth understanding before you drive over.
What Six Beds Actually Change
The main thing they change is how many people a caregiver is watching at once. In a house licensed for six, staff learn each resident's normal: how they walk, what they eat, what time they usually wake. A change in any of those gets noticed in days rather than at the next scheduled review.
The trade-off is structure. A six-bed house will not have two dining rooms, a published activity calendar run by a program director, or a secured memory care wing. Residents who want a busy social diary and a choice of group activities most days are usually better served by a larger community.
What the license permits does not shrink with the building, though. By NIA's (2023) account, assisted living runs to meals, help with personal care and medications, housekeeping, round-the-clock supervision and social activities, for people who need that much help and no more.
The Three Norma J's Homes in Thousand Oaks
This home is one of three under the same licensee. Tiede Senior Care also operates Norma J's Home for the Elderly at 142 W. Columbia Road and Norma J's Home for the Elderly III at 118 W Columbia Rd, both in Thousand Oaks, and each is licensed for six residents like this one.
That matters when you call. If Marimar Street has no room, the same operator may have a bed a few streets away, which keeps your parents in the same part of town and with staff trained the same way. Ask about all three at once rather than calling them as three separate inquiries.
How Medical Care Reaches a Six-Bed Home
It comes to the door, or it does not come at all. A licensed care home is a residential setting rather than a medical one, so doctors are not on staff and there is no clinic down the corridor. Families who sort out a visiting clinician before the move avoid a scramble later.
A house-call doctor who covers residential care homes can examine a resident in their own room, with the staff who know the history standing in the doorway. For someone who finds car journeys hard, that one arrangement changes the whole year.
The close watching of a small home pays off most with the quiet problems. Infection in older adults often arrives without a fever, showing up as sudden confusion instead, and dehydration can be mistaken for dementia by anyone not watching closely.
Vision, Glasses and Falls
Eyesight is one of the most fixable fall risks and one of the most ignored. CDC (2026) reports that about 1 in 4 older adults fall each year, more than 14 million people, and that falls are the leading cause of injury for adults aged 65 and over.
Vision changes slowly enough to go unmentioned. Cleveland Clinic (2024) lists presbyopia, cataracts, glaucoma, dry eyes and macular degeneration among the common age-related eye problems, and points to guidance for a complete eye exam roughly every year after age 50.
The practical obstacle is usually the trip, not the exam. MobilEyesNow is a mobile optician service that handles glasses orders, repairs, custom fitting and lens replacement for people in residential settings, delivered on site. Coverage varies by area, so it is worth checking the Thousand Oaks address when you call.
Watching for Memory Changes
A six-bed house notices memory changes early, and knowing what gets tested helps you read the reports. The clock drawing test is one of the quick screens clinicians use, and understanding what it does and does not show keeps a single bad result in proportion.
Ask the home how changes get written down and who hears about them. A small house often runs on the memory of the person on shift, which works beautifully until that person is on vacation. A written log and a named point of contact are reasonable things to request.
The Neighborhood Around Marimar Street
Marimar Street sits in Thousand Oaks, in the Conejo Valley part of Ventura County, in a residential pocket rather than on a commercial strip. Los Robles Regional Medical Center is close by at 215 W Janss Rd, and its emergency department runs 24 hours a day including holidays.
Sharing a zip code with the hospital means a trip to the emergency room stops being an expedition. That proximity also shortens the drive for family members doing an evening visit after work, which tends to decide how often visits actually happen.
Quick Facts and Contacts
Check these against the state's own record before you commit to anything, because capacity and license status both change. The figures below come from the facility licensing data and were current when this page was written. Carry the license number with you if you call the licensing office.

The phone number above is the way in; no public website for this home turned up when it was checked. Ask what the current vacancy looks like across all three Norma J's houses, what the move-in paperwork list is, and which clinicians already visit the building.
Your Next Step
Tour a six-bed home the way you would view a house. Look at the bathroom a resident would actually use, the route from bedroom to kitchen, and whether there is somewhere to sit outside. Ask who is awake overnight, because in a small house that answer is one specific person.
Six-bed houses are hard to compare from a browser, because most of them never advertise. A placement agency already knows which ones in the Conejo Valley have a bed this month and which take the care level your parent needs, which saves a week of phone calls.
