The Oaks At Belmont

I moved to The Oaks at Belmont's independent living community. I'm in a very nice private room with plenty of room for an office and bedroom, a living room, and a kitchen. I have food served, and I have all kinds of activity equipment and everything here. It's a very secure and very nice apartment, so I'm very happy. The place is fairly new, probably 5 or 6 years old. This facility has full service for people who want independent living, which is what I have. However, you can also be downstairs and have assisted living or partial assisted living, or, in some cases, intensive care. It covers everything, and it's a very nice facility. No place is perfect, but this is very close to it. It's very efficiently taken care of, with people to take care of everything. The people are very polite and take action immediately if something needs to be done. Even the concierge on this level helps us with what we need to know about things, so there's nothing left for us to guess. We just ask somebody, and we get answers. They have some exercise equipment, just down the hall from my room, and there's a library downstairs. They have all kinds of things all over the building that can be used by anybody who wants to use them. There's a program every single day of something going on if you're interested in that. Their food is excellent and has good choices. I like that I can select my food, and if I don't go to a meal, that's my choice too. If I want to go to my kids for a meal or I want to go to a restaurant or something like that, I can go do that. I just have to let them know. I know what I'm paying, and I see what I am paying for, so I'm very happy.

The Oaks At Belmont was a nice place. The staff was very pleasant. I have a friend over there and my pastor is there right now. Their rooms are very large. They would probably call it two rooms because they have a little room there that they have a table and chairs. I was looking for a room and a staff came right up and instead of saying, turn here, do that, they walked right with me and that helped a lot. I was only in a couple of other rooms, but they looked clean.

If someone is seeking sub acute rehabilitation (SAR) for themselves or a family member this is an excellent option as the therapy department is great. For someone that may need skilled nursing care or a skilled nursing facility (SNF) this probably is not the place for you. The nurse aides were friendly and usually prompt in answering call lights. The facility is clean and the food is good.

Mom is at The Oaks at Belmont. We chose that place because of its location; that's where she grew up. The staff is very caring and I am really impressed with them. The facility is beautiful. I think every day they just engage Mom with activities. She went to a cooking class, she goes to exercise classes, they take her for walks, they're always checking in on her, and they have a bus that takes her on outings. I like the care they gave her, because she can use a walker, but she's wobbly, so they just put her in a wheelchair and we don't have to worry about her falling. When Mom had to go to a week in the hospital, everybody came up to us and asked what's wrong with her, where she was at, and that they missed her. They are genuine people. Everybody knows her and they're careful with her. They have a happy hour on Friday where they give drinks, cakes, or a charcuterie board. It's just a very nice little gathering and anybody can come to it. My husband has been there many times. They play music, they have singers come in, and I really like that they have pop machines, so you don't have to sit there and ask for a drink. You go up there and get your drink yourself. They have lemonade, tea, water, ginger ale, and Coke products, which I love. It's expensive, but they are taking really good care of her. The food's good, it's a brand-new facility, the staff is good, it's always clean, you don't have any foul odors coming out, and everything seems to be running pretty good. So, it's just what it is.

We toured The Oaks at Belmont. We had an inexperienced fill-in tour guide, she took us around and we toured one occupied apartment. I felt that the rooms were quite small. The residents were having a get-together in the dining room but there was no reaching out or open friendliness that I could see. They were busy talking to each other. They have a bus for tours and doctor's appointments. The building was brand new and they kept it clean, but it was not a very open environment.

My mother was at The Oaks at Belmont for rehab for about a month. The place was nice. It's very large and new, so everything in there was new. The staff was very good. The food was excellent. My mother just loved the food. Everybody was kind and caring to her and very good. The only thing is they don't have a lot of activities. That would probably be the only negative. The only thing they had was bingo, and then they paddle a balloon once a day, where like some of the places I know have arts and crafts and they didn't have any of that. Everything was great, but they need more activities. The room was like a hospital room because she was just there for rehab, so it's much smaller. I didn't see an actual room. I didn't get to see the assisted living rooms. She was in a private room. The dining area was fabulous. You can get your own pop if you want. They got machines for pop, and they got snacks out all the time. The staff was excellent. They even called me at home if my mom was having an issue or they just had a question. My mom was given OxyContin, which she didn't react well to, so they called me about that, and one of the nurses came and calmed my mom and gave her a religious bracelet. There's a social worker there, and he was nice to me. Any questions I had, I'd go talk to him and he'd help me out. They're very good with the paperwork. There was a movie night, too.
