Warm and welcoming, Mariposa at Ellwood Shores’ modern ranch-style exterior greets you with style and subtle elegance. As you approach the circle drive, our senior living community surrounds you with pristine landscaping, mature trees, and clear California skies. Here, you’ll find independent and assisted living services, as well as memory care options.
Amidst the Santa Ynez Mountains base and coastal beaches, you’ll find the atmosphere of our community relaxing and peaceful. Our amenities, activities, and services are designed to promote optimum well-being and a positive, active lifestyle. Whatever lifestyle you desire, you’re sure to find it at Mariposa at Ellwood Shores.
Here at Mariposa, residents are encouraged to lead an active lifestyle that nurtures their mind-body connection as much as possible. All activities are planned with their unique interests and desires in mind and, with the guidance of our Live Your Way® program, tend to wellness from a holistic approach. Spending an afternoon getting pampered in the beauty salon, breaking a sweat in one of group exercise classes, or expressing your creativity in the arts and crafts center are just a few of the ways you can spend your days. Helping residents stay connected with the Goleta community is important to us, and we often schedule day trips and outings. As a pet-friendly community, we’re pleased to have plenty of indoor and outdoor common areas for residents and their furry friends to enjoy as well.
From our exciting calendar of events, to compassionate and attentive care services, residents can focus more on the things that bring them joy and less on the stresses that come with maintaining a home. Residents enjoy complimentary laundry and housekeeping services, as well as three delicious meals a day. Our culinary team prepares meals that meet a variety of dietary concerns, making it easy to stay on track with your body’s unique needs. Restaurant-style dining in the dining room is an option, as is room service, and guests are always welcome to join.
Our team is available 24/7 to assist with a variety of personal care needs and has received specialized memory care training to best serve residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other memory-related conditions. Assistance with daily activities of living (bathing, grooming, dressing, and others), medication management, and incontinence care are just a few of the services we provide. We frequently partner with local health care specialists to keep up with the unique needs of all residents, and transportation to and from appointments outside of the community is available. Residents and loved ones can rest assured that our compassionate, capable staff are here to support and encourage their health and wellness in every sense.
