Almavia of Camarillo has 4 state citations (3 serious, 1 minor) and 2 verified complaints since 2022 across 11 inspections. The most serious verified complaint, substantiated in 2024, involved a staff member physically striking 2 residents during caregiving: swatting 1 resident on the wrist during a toilet-to-wheelchair transfer and striking another on the buttocks during a diaper change; the Ventura County Sheriff's Office investigated both incidents. A second verified complaint from 2023 found that a resident who required a walker and 2-hour supervision checks fell and sustained a broken ankle during a gap between scheduled rounds. State citations in the same period include medication administration errors: medications dispensed outside required time windows and a discrepancy in a controlled medication count. The most recent annual inspection in November 2025 was completed with no citations issued.

Dedicated Spiritual Care Director on staff
A named staff role — not a volunteer program — covering religious services, meditation, and one-on-one guidance across all belief systems.
Nonprofit with century-long lineage
Operated by Elder Care Alliance, a nonprofit affiliated with Transforming Age. The organization traces its roots to 1872 through sister community Mercy Retirement and Care Center.

Waitlist currently closed
The facility's own website states its waitlist is closed. Contact directly to ask about the anticipated timeline before planning around this community.
Memory care pricing is separate
The published starting rate applies to assisted living. The website explicitly notes memory care pricing 'may differ' — get a separate quote if that level of care is a possibility.
100-bed scale
At full capacity this is one of Camarillo's larger communities. Families preferring a smaller setting should ask about wing sizes and staffing ratios on a tour.
