My mom lived at Oakmont San Jose for five years. After being at three other memory care facilities (Belmont Village Sunnyvale and Atria Foster City), OSJ was the perfect solution, and where she lived out her final days. My mom was accustomed to high-end hotels and a glamorous life, with excellent customer service and care. We found OSJ to be the perfect fit for high-cognitive seniors. It was so wonderful to visit her as she was engaged in activities or sitting on the beautiful patio having lunch. The current head nurse (Paula) and memory care director (Sherry) are the best in the biz and were the only team to regularly keep in touch with me as her only child and POA. While the leadership changed many times over the course of her residency, the care staff was consistent, and my mom felt safe in her lovely private room. OSJ also welcomed and collaborated well with my mom's physical therapists, external caregivers, end-of-life doulas, and hospice. Being responsible for a parent in memory care is not for the faint-hearted. At OSJ, I finally found a partner I could trust.

We chose Oakmont of San Jose for my dad because of the amenities they have. If need be, he could move from beyond assisted living to memory care. It is located close to a hospital. The staff has been attentive, caring, and professional. The food looks nutritious and in good proportions. There is a salon, a courtyard, and a gym.

Oakmont of San Jose is a nice facility. It's relatively new, only six years old. I like the fact that they had handrails in all hallways. So, if somebody was able to walk but unsteady and they don't want to use walkers, they can use the handrails to get around. They have a nice theater; it was very professional. You have a very large projection screen, and the seats were properly raised in three rows, so everybody had a good view. One thing that was an issue is there's no visitors parking. We have to park on the street. They do have a parking garage below, and I think if you're going to visit a resident, you can get admission to the underground parking garage.

I liked everything about Oakmont of San Jose. They were courteous and kind. We had lunch there, and I got to meet some of the residents there and talk to them, which I thought was wonderful. Some people have been there for four, five, or six years. It was just a very happy experience. I would recommend them highly. Their food was very tasty, very creative, and well served. They have a library, game rooms, exercises, and a lovely back area where they exercise outside. When you came in, it was very inviting with couches. It was just delightful. The staff was very caring. When I called them to tell them that my friend had fallen and was injured badly, they were so concerned and were caring enough to call me several times. I can't find a fault with them. They're just wonderful, wonderful people.

I don't think that Oakmont of San Jose had enough staff. My wife went into their memory care unit and just within 2 hours of the time she had been there, they called and said that she had fallen. I don't understand how it could happen that quickly. It's a wonderful-looking facility. She got a shared room and it was fine. The food was OK, but they were very dishonest in their pricing. I told them that I was looking for a place that's about 8000 a month and they said they could work with that number without any problem. By the time I had her signed up, the price had jumped two/three times. It was 12,000 a month and then the night before my wife was due for us to bring her in, the manager called and said it would cost another 10,000 a month for extra night care. I had signed a contract that had gone over all of her needs, including her nighttime needs, and so I told the guy I wasn't going to do that. I was delivering more than what I expected them to do because the contract I signed for was 12,000 a month and it was to take care of all of her special needs. We went back and forth and the guy finally agreed that they would let her stay for a week while they reevaluated her physical needs and their ability to cover her. So, we took her in for a week, and then I immediately started looking for another spot and found another facility.

I toured Oakmont of San Jose. It's a lot smaller in size than the other place I saw and not as open. The staff was really helpful. It's been there for like 40 years, but wht's more important to me is the staff and how they're going to help my sister. The facilities could use some updating. I didn't see any cleaning nor maintenance issues at all. Their dining area looks accommodating. They have a movie theater, meditation activities, and other activities. They pretty much know that with the memory thing, you have to keep their brain working and that's what they do. If anything could be improved, the price could be lower somehow, but these places are all about the same.

I had this really positive feeling about Oakmont of San Jose from the very beginning just by reading their brochure. I had spoken on the phone several times with one of their staff members named Debbie. She was very warm, very positive, and very easy to talk to. It kind of set the tone for me. All of my contacts with Oakmont of San Jose were very positive, very warm, very friendly and that continued during the actual physical visit. Walking in there, it didn't feel like a hotel. It felt like it was somebody's home. Then I met the nursing facilitator, Paula, and other staff members. For each day, they have a menu for all three meals. We actually had lunch in the dining room. I liked the menu they had. The food was good. It was a nice mandarin chicken, Asian salad, and a dessert. It was interesting that there were residents that came over to the table to say hello. I had quite a conversation with one couple who lived there. The staff was friendly and open as well. I didn't feel any pressure at all. One of the chefs told us that they have pizza day on Thursdays and certain specialties on Fridays. You don't have to have that, but it's available. If you don't particularly care for what's being offered that day, they have an alternate menu. We looked at 3 one-bedrooms that were all a little different. One of them was almost like a studio. The other one was a little bit bigger than that, and then the last one was kind of expanded. They only have 1 two-bedroom apartment. The bedroom itself and the living area had a feeling of space, and they were furnished. There was a lot of storage space and closet space, which I really liked. The bathroom was much better. It had sturdier gripper bars and had a built-in seat. It just seemed a little bit bigger, and that it wasn't crammed into a corner. The kitchen was nice. The only drawback was that the microwave was up high, and I'm a short person; hopefully it can be lowered a little bit. There was no balcony. I thought it would be nice to have that, but it's OK. That's a minor thing. They had a room with various machines that you could use. I was particularly interested in their stretching and balancing activities. One of the things I really liked about the place was it's in a neighborhood. It's not like behind a mall or kind of sitting off by itself. It's in a pretty established neighborhood in San Jose. The grounds were not as large, but they're attractive. There was a large community patio. The dining room was on the third floor, so we were surrounded by treetops (which I thought was kind of interesting).

Oakmont of San Jose is modern, spacious, and clean. They have a very welcoming environment, and are very organized. The staff that showed us around was energetic and knowledgeable. They have a courtyard for memory care with a cement walking path and plants.
