University Village Thousand Oaks

What University Village Thousand Oaks does

University Village Thousand Oaks is a private, Type A Life Plan Community (also known as a Continuing Care Retirement Community, or CCRC) operating on a 65-acre campus in Thousand Oaks, California, directly across from California Lutheran University. The community serves adults aged 55 and older with maintenance-free independent living, offering a mix of single-story villas (up to ~1,608 sq ft), garden terrace homes, and apartment homes (starting at 835 sq ft) across more than 12 floor plans, alongside resort-style amenities including fitness centers, a pool, tennis, pickleball, walking paths, multiple dining venues (Avalon and Montecito), and more than 200 monthly classes, clubs, and activities. Residents have priority access to the adjacent OakView Health Center, a wholly-owned operating subsidiary that provides assisted living, memory care, and long-term skilled nursing care, enabling the Type A contract's guaranteed future-care coverage.

The business is monetized through three primary streams: (1) one-time highly repayable entrance fees ranging from the $650,000s to over $2,500,000 for the largest villa residences, with a significant portion returned to residents or their estates upon departure; (2) recurring monthly service fees that bundle property insurance, maintenance, utilities, dining, transportation, 24-hour EMT safety services, emergency call systems, fitness, housekeeping, and priority health center access; and (3) the Future Residents Club, a $30,000 fully refundable deposit earning 5% annually for up to three years that is applied toward the entrance fee upon move-in. Go-to-market is a sales-led residency-counselor motion combined with educational content, Lunch & Learn events in Los Angeles, social media, and an opt-in newsletter. The company holds California state license #565800978 and Certificate of Authority #266, was ranked #3 in Fortune Magazine's 2025 Best Workplaces in Aging Services, and is Great Place to Work certified for May 2025–May 2026.

Broad incumbents

• Life Care Services (LCS): Major third-party manager and developer of continuing care retirement / life plan communities. Comparable in CCRC model and resident services, though LCS operates as a management company serving community owners rather than as a single operator-owner.
• Atria Senior Living: Large national senior living operator with a portfolio of independent living, assisted living, and memory care communities. Comparable to UVTO in serving the upscale 55+ segment but lacks the Type A CCRC structure and single-campus integrated care model.
• Sunrise Senior Living: National senior living operator focused on assisted living and memory care with a strong presence in California. Comparable resident profile and services breadth, though not a Type A Life Plan Community.
• Brookdale Senior Living: Largest U.S. senior living operator with independent living, assisted living, memory care, and continuing care retirement communities nationwide. Comparable resident base and service breadth but with a much broader, less differentiated portfolio.

Direct peers

• Belmont Village: Privately held operator of upscale senior living communities concentrated in California and other Sunbelt markets. Highly comparable on affluent-resident positioning, amenity intensity, and California footprint, though not a full Type A CCRC.
• Pacifica Senior Living: California- and Florida-focused assisted living and memory care operator. Comparable on California footprint and resident profile, though more concentrated in standalone assisted living rather than full Type A CCRC contracts.
• Aegis Living: West Coast-focused assisted living and memory care operator with communities in California, Washington, and Nevada. Comparable in upscale positioning, California footprint, and integrated services offering.
• Oakmont Senior Living: California-based luxury senior living operator with multiple campuses offering assisted living, memory care, and residential living. Comparable on upscale California positioning and amenity-rich campuses, though not a full Type A continuing care community.
• Erickson Senior Living: Large operator of continuing care retirement communities with multiple campuses across the U.S. Highly comparable CCRC model, entrance fee structure, and integrated care continuum, though at greater scale and geographic diversification.
• Vi Living: Operator of Life Plan Communities (formerly Classic Residence by Hyatt) offering Type A continuing care retirement contracts. The most direct CCRC peer, comparable on contract structure and integrated care model, though in different geographies.
