Assisted living in Camarillo: common questions

How much does assisted living cost in Camarillo?

33 Camarillo communities on Senior Places have a starting price on file, and 24 of them show the same figure, $4,500 a month. That number is a market estimate for the area rather than a rate each community quoted, so treat it as a ballpark. The quoted prices on file run from $2,820 to $5,700 a month. A starting price is the lowest monthly rate on a community's listing, usually a shared or studio room at the lightest level of care; some listings carry a market estimate instead of a quoted rate. Care fees, level-of-care charges and a second-person fee are added on top, so ask every community for an all-in monthly quote for the care your person needs.

Can I see state inspection records for Camarillo communities?

Yes. 32 of the 35 Camarillo communities on Senior Places show their California Department of Social Services inspection history on the profile: inspection visits, complaints, and Type A and Type B citations. Of those, 5 have had at least one Type A citation, the state's most serious kind, in the past three years. The records come from the state's public facility search and are refreshed regularly, so a citation on a profile is one to ask the community about on a tour, not a reason to rule it out on its own.
