Say hello to Judith Cohen

Judy Cohen was born in Evansville, Indiana, the youngest of three daughters—a true Hoosier at heart. As a young woman, she met David Somerville, lead singer of The Diamonds, and moved to Hollywood, where she toured the country with the group and worked within the entertainment industry, forming lasting friendships along the way.

She welcomed her son in 1967, and later met her second husband, a private investigator, with whom she shared 50 years of marriage. Together they settled in Palm Springs in the late 1970s. Here Judy built a long and meaningful career as head medical librarian at Desert Hospital for 35 years, working in the Sinatra wing.

After retiring in 2012, she moved to be closer to her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson on Rincon Mountain. Judy brings with her a lifetime of rich experiences, along with her warmth, resilience, and independent spirit as she begins this next chapter.

Aloha to Carolyn Modomo!

Originally from Hawaii, Carolyn made the move to California to be closer to her brother. After touring the Townehouse, she knew right away it felt like the right place to call home and was especially drawn to the beauty of the community.

Carolyn has already begun enjoying many of the activities, with Friday Happy Hour being a favorite—especially when there’s live music and a chance to dance. She also looks forward to joining art classes, as she has a love for painting, and she enjoys spending quiet time reading, often exploring the selection of books in the Townehouse library.

We’re so happy to have Carolyn as part of the community and look forward to seeing her continue to get involved and make new connections.

Welcome to Judith Wright!

My family comes from Indiana. My grandpa Charlie Walter and his brother Uncle Will designed and built two golf courses in northern Indiana. They even built the little shack that sold beer and Pepsi. That’s where I met my husband, Ed Wright. He was selling soda at the eighth green. We were married two years later.

Tennis, baseball, soccer and water polo. These sports never made me famous, but they sure shaped my life I was driver and chief cheerleader for my kids’ sports. My daughter Diana pitched for the girls’ baseball team. Our son Steve always got a hit, then stole bases for his team. Daughter Katherine won county club tennis tournaments, usually in 100-degree weather in Palm Springs California. Winston, my son who now lives in Oxnard and introduced me to the Ventura Townehouse, was a member of the Berkley water polo team. I was their transportation and cheerleader.

Our family later moved to Pheonix, Arizona, then later to Canoga Park, California. and finally, to San Jose, California where I worked has a teacher. I taught children mostly in alternative schools and juvenile halls, along with many fantastic teachers. We taught them how to cope, our main subjects were language, arts and social studies. After retiring I was fortunate to be invited to teach in Korea for a year. This was an amazing experience! I am thrilled to be here at the Townehouse. Thank you for your warm welcome.

You’ll often find Julia out in her garden at Ventura Townehouse, surrounded by roses, geraniums, and pansies. It’s one of her favorite places to spend time, and it shows in how beautifully everything grows.

What a blast at our White Pants Painting Party this week!

On Tuesday April 8th, our residents at Ventura Townehouse turned white pants into wearable works of art in the beautiful Rose Garden! From delicate butterflies and flowers to bold, colorful designs, everyone got creative with fabric paints and brushes.It was such a joyful afternoon filled with laughter, concentration, and plenty of smiles (and thumbs up!) as our talented artists brought their pants to life. A huge thank you to everyone who joined in — whether you painted, cheered on, or just enjoyed the sunshine and good company. These moments are what make life at Ventura Townehouse so special!

Congratulations April Employee of the Month Alex Smith!

I’m a proud mom to my 6-year-old king who means everything to me.

In my free time, I love getting lost in a good thriller romance book, especially when I need a little escape and excitement. I also enjoy exploring new food-spots and trying different cuisines. It’s one of my favorite ways to unwind and experience something new. And of course, coffee always makes my day better.

When I am not working here at the Townehouse, I am working on my side business at which I make different yummy treats. They are called candied fruits.

What I love most about working at the Townehouse ARE the residents and my coworkers—they make every day rewarding and enjoyable.
