Simi Valley Residential Care I
2585 Lowell Court, Simi Valley, CA 93065, Ventura County
Tucked away on Lowell Court in Simi Valley, there’s a single-story home with a sloping red-tile roof and a front garden trimmed to precision. The light from the porch falls softly on the walkway, and by evening the house feels quietly alive. This isn’t a facility in the traditional sense — it’s a home for six people who have chosen a slower, steadier pace of life at Simi Valley Residential Care I.

The home sits at 2585 Lowell Court, Simi Valley, California 93065, in Ventura County. Designed for just six residents, the scale of the place defines its rhythm — care feels personal, not procedural.

Everyday Care and Medical Attention
Here, the goal isn’t to change the residents’ routines but to help them keep them. Assistance covers all daily needs — from taking medication to dressing and walking safely through the house. Every resident has an individual care plan that adjusts with time, ensuring both comfort and oversight.
The staff includes caregivers trained in geriatric support, who focus on observation rather than interference. They help with small but important details — checking hydration, reminding about medications, adjusting the room temperature when the afternoon heat builds up.
Daily support includes:
Medication reminders and supervision
Help with hygiene, grooming, and meals
Assistance with mobility and walking routines
Health monitoring and companionship
That balance — structure without intrusion — is what families often point to when describing the atmosphere here.
Rooms and Shared Spaces
The house offers private and shared rooms, each furnished simply and equipped with an emergency call button. The décor avoids anything clinical. Instead, the rooms look lived-in — framed photos, bedside lamps, warm colors.
Common areas are small but functional: a living room with a large-screen TV, an open dining space where meals are served family-style, and a back patio shaded by a few mature trees. The outdoor area sees a lot of use — morning coffee, quiet reading, or short exercises.
Shared spaces include:
Living room with TV and reading area
Dining room for group meals
Garden and patio for outdoor time
Housekeeping and laundry are part of the service, freeing residents from chores that can be tiring or unsafe.
Food and Daily Rhythm
Meals are cooked right in the kitchen. Fresh ingredients are used, and menus take into account health conditions such as diabetes or hypertension. There’s no fixed “cafeteria style” routine — residents can eat together or at their own pace.
Activities are gentle and unforced. A puzzle might appear on the dining table one day, a group card game the next. Birthdays and holidays are celebrated with families who often visit and join the table.
In-Room Doctor Visits
One of the practical strengths of this home is access to in-room medical care. Residents can schedule a doctor or nurse to visit without leaving the house. This helps avoid unnecessary urgent care trips and keeps the process comfortable. Specialists such as cardiologists or ophthalmologists can also come in for specific consultations when needed. The coordination happens quietly — without disruption to the residents’ routines.
Safety and Reliability
The property is fully secured with an emergency call system in every room and fire safety equipment throughout. Staff members stay on-site day and night. There’s no constant noise or flashing lights — the systems are integrated in a way that maintains calm. The fenced yard offers extra safety for those with cognitive decline or balance issues.
Safety features include:
24-hour staff presence
Emergency buttons in each room
Fire and smoke detection
Regular safety checks
A Reputation Built on Continuity
Families often describe Simi Valley Residential Care I as “steady.” It’s not glamorous or heavily promoted, but it delivers consistency — meals on time, medications handled correctly, the same familiar faces every day. The tone of care is personal rather than procedural.
Over the years, the home has kept a quiet reputation: not for luxury, but for reliability and peace of mind. Residents aren’t treated as cases to manage but as people whose lives continue here, just at a slower pace.
That may be the best way to define Simi Valley Residential Care I — not as a facility, but as a home that values small routines and steady care, where time feels unhurried and every person remains part of a calm, human rhythm.
