Christmas Tree Decorating Contest

November 30th meet with your neighbors on your floor in the community area at 2pm to discuss ideas for decorating your neighborhood Christmas Tree. This year it will be a theme of your choosing. We will place lighted trees on each floor shortly after Thanksgiving.

Act of Kindness “Laundry Love”

Laundry Love is a mission of Two Trees Church here in Ventura. Chris Black, our third Sunday worship pastor, and our resident Barbara Morris are members. The second Saturday of the month, several of our residents volunteer their time to help the homeless and low-income by washing and drying their clothes at no cost to them.

Many bingo players and others here have donated generously to this endeavor and the church is very thankful for this help. Quarters, and any currency, is accepted. Last month our Townehouse residents donated $450. While Maxine and Faye checked everyone in, Lynn handed out soap and quarters!

For information, or to donate, please see Barbara. The need is great for those less fortunate than us.

Our Happy Residents

My grandmother lives at the Ventura Townehouse and I feel confident that she is in good hands. They get her to her appointments and provide any aftercare that she may need. Everyone there is friendly and like family. I feel like I’m at home when I go there to visit her and eat with her in the dining room.

Recently, I visited my Mom from Chicago. Each day I offered to take us out and about in Ventura. We found ourselves having such an enjoyable time at the Townehouse we didn’t leave. The dining room was so lovey to enjoy with her friends. Patios welcoming and the activities kept us busy. We laughed and had fun all day! Thank you everyone for making me feel at home and making my visit special. It’s always hard to leave my mom. But not as hard when I know she is so happy! Until my next visit!

Staff is very helpful and always concerned about my Mother’s needs, the interior and grounds maintenance is exceptional. Dining provides healthy menus to choose from. Front desk staff is always friendly and helpful. Best decision we ever made was bringing my mom here.
