Default Help find a sub acute skilled nursing facility

Help!
My brother is in the final stages of ALS. He needs a fully staffed 24/7 sub acute care facility. He has a trach. and is on a ventilator 24/7. He also has a G-tube. The doctor says if he doesn't get a respiratory infection, he could live for years.
He is currently at a wonderful facility in Scottsdale, AZ but wants to be transferred to a facility in or near Ventura, CA to be near his family. All the places we have looked at so far are real death camps. He is in full possession of all mental faculties. He can communicate with assisted speech devices. He watches a lot of TV. He gets a lot of visitors and can even take a stroll in a wheel chair sometimes.
Can anyone recommend a facility with a positive environment and great staff in the Ventura, CA area?
