The Oakmont

I toured The Oakmont, and the young lady who went with me was pushing me in my wheelchair. I was very impressed with the place. We looked at a one-bedroom apartment, but it was so expensive at $2,600 a month. They feed you three meals a day and have a laundry, so you could go there and do your laundry. They don't have a kitchen in the apartment, but they have a place for a little refrigerator and you could have a microwave in there. There's so many things, they also provide transportation. I got a packet with all the things in it, and I was really impressed. The lady who was showing us around was very congenial. There was a gentleman who showed us the apartment and gave me the folder with all the information in it and talked with me. Everything was so nice, the dining area seems like a pleasant place to dine. They have a piano in there so I'm sure there's also entertainment there. I like that they have Wi-Fi in your room so you can have your computer, cellphone, and all of those things. It's a very special place. They have some kind of athletic or active things they do with the residents there. You can go in the gym and do all kinds of things, and it sounded to me like it would be very enjoyable. I'm hoping to be in independent living but with my legs, I'm sure I'm headed for the assisted living. The bathroom with all the assisted living things you could use, the facilities there were marvelous.

I really loved the staff at The Oakmont. They personally knew everybody and they treated everybody like it was their home. They weren't just residents there. It was very nice and I loved the grounds. I fell in love after the reception I got, which was wonderful. The courtyard is all trees and not cement, but a garden. It's beautiful and I loved it. They also have several activities going on, but not too much that it's overwhelming. They have three meals a day. There are choices if you don't like the main meal. I was very happy.

The Oakmont has everything that everybody else has. They have activities, like television shows and games, and they take you places in their van. They were very pleasant. Their meals were very satisfactory and very pleasant too. The food was very adequate and attractively presented. The staff member we met did the best he could to show us around. However, I did not like the shape of the rooms. The dimensions of the rooms were odd; they were almost triangular. Also, the place itself could use some freshening up.

My mother lived at the Oakmont and I just had to mention that although she is no longer with us, we are very satisfied with the way she left this world. They took great care of her and she ended her life on a very fun and positive note. We couldn’t be happier with the way they provided for her and the caring ways of the over all staff. Highly recommend

We visited The Oakmont and ate there; the food was fine. They had decent-sized studio units, and it seemed like the right place even though they're understaffed during the weekends. We almost signed a lease, but we were told many things by many people, so there was no consistency. One person said that they call the fire department to help you up if you fall, and another one said that they help people up themselves. The person who gave the tour was very sweet, helpful and did the best to her ability, but she was the only one at the front desk at that time.

The Oakmont is a good place. My brother is really happy there because he's well-involved with the people and with the different things they're doing around the community. It's just that it's pricey and it's hard to keep up when you're on a fixed income. He plays Bingo a couple of nights a week, and he does happy hour at the bar on a weekly basis. There are things he can do that keeps him busy. Everybody knows everyone else and they know they're safe. They appreciate that my brother goes around and checks the doors before he retires to his room, they're happy that they feel secure. They also have good food.

My sister-in-law is in The Oakmont. So far, everything seems to be working really well. Their cost is within the budget. They have a lot of activities and social things, and they help her with medication. Her health is declining and memory is fading, and the staff is helping her with that, too.

I visited The Oakmont, but it was not the place what I was looking for. The rooms were too small for me. Also, the age range was older than I was anticipating. The facility was overall OK. I think they need to have a little more space and more activities.
