Why we like it

Hillcrest Royale is a 145-bed assisted living community in Thousand Oaks, nestled in the Conejo Valley of Ventura County. The area is consistently ranked among the safest cities in the country, with oak-studded hills, clean air, and a strong suburban quality of life.

Hillcrest Royale provides a large-community experience in a desirable part of the greater Los Angeles region.

  • Family-owned for 30+ years

    Hillcrest Royale has operated as a family-run community since its founding, with staff described as having served there since the beginning — an unusual continuity for a 145-bed facility.

  • No long-term contract required

    Assisted living suites are month-to-month. Standard, large, deluxe, and two-bedroom configurations available.

  • Hospice accommodation on-site

    Dedicated hospice rooms starting at $4,100/month, with the facility coordinating around your chosen hospice agency rather than requiring a specific provider.

  • Short-term respite available

    Respite stays offered at $250/day — including post-skilled-nursing recovery stays, not just caregiver-relief uses.

  • Below-average safety record

    9 serious and 8 minor citations across 14 state inspections. Worth asking directly about recent findings and how they've been addressed before deciding.

  • One-bedroom pricing runs high

    One-bedroom units are listed at $6,000/month — above both Ventura County ($4,513) and California ($4,340) averages. Ask whether that gap reflects suite size or included services.

  • Some reviewers flagged the building as dated

    Multiple reviewers described the facility as outdated or not suited for residents seeking a more independent, modern environment. Worth evaluating in person.
