Oakmont Parkway

Oakmont Parkway was a very, very nice facility, and the staff was very friendly. They are family owned, so compared to a management company, I thought it's kind of nicer. Jennifer was the representative who showed us around. It's very clean, very personable and very updated. The residents were up and about and interacting with the staff. It doesn't matter where we were in the facility, be it the apartment or down below, every staff that encountered the residents knew who they were. They recognized them by names and had a brief conversation with them, which was good to see. It gave you that family feel. The rooms were very nice, but they didn't have a full kitchen like the other residences that I've visited. What they had was just refrigerator, sink and counter. There was no stove, no microwave, and I don't even think there was a dishwasher. The kitchen area was quite small and the cabinetry was small as well, but they allow the residents to bring in a microwave, a coffeemaker and a toaster oven, something that they could utilize on their own. If they went from independent to assisted living, they stay in the same apartment. They're not transferred to another wing or to a specialized assisted living. They stay in their own apartment and the care would come to them. They offer quite a bit of amenities. Given a non-Covid timeframe, they offer engaging activities for the seniors. They had planned trips, crafts, and entertainment. They're kind of keeping the residents on lockdown due to Covid. The food is being delivered to them, because in Michigan, we're on a temporary pause, so the dining areas are closed. During a non-Covid time, they would be able to engage with each other with activities.

My mother-in-law is in Oakmont Parkway. I can't say anything good. If you don't need any help and you can deal with the stuff that goes on there, that's great. If you need some kind of assistance, they're terrible. That's why I want her to get out of there, because they don't care about the people that live there. I've talked to several different people that have used Oakmont in different locations, and they feel the same way. Everything is ala carte, everything is, you got to pay for it, nothing is set in stone, or what the pricing is, they don't really care, it's corporate. They don't follow up on a lot of their staff, even though they have the facility, but they charge, if you have to come to the room, if you have to go to the bathroom, they charge you to take her to the bathroom, it's just not adequate enough. Everytime you're turning around, you're paying for something that's part of their care. When she first moved in, her health was okay. Now, since the covid thing, all the meals are brought to their room, they didn't go down the dining room, they charge you to bring your meal up to your room. They used to have bingo, they used to have entertainment, they used to come in there on the weekend, and stuff like that. The rooms are nice, the only problem is the heating and air conditioning system, it's really terrible. They can't regulate the temperature very well. The food was not bad, when we first went in there the portions were pretty big, now they're cutting back on a lot of their portions.

Oakmont Parkway in Clinton Twp is awesome.When you walk in it looks like a upscale hotel. Always clean. The staff are warm and caring. Cyndi executive director and shelia had a smile on there faces. They helped with all aspects of Moms stay there. Her room beautiful.The staff that cleaned it and delivered her food were also caring and friendly. Mom loved the food! If you are looking for a place for your loved ones or yourself this is the place to go!

Oakmont Parkway was a clean establishment. They have a very nice staff. The exercise room looked small. It's multi-level. They have very friendly administrators. The pricing was comparable with others. It's a newer building and it's well kept up.

Every person who's getting to the age where they're considering this should visit a place like Oakmont Parkway. It gives you options to consider for now and possibly for the long term. The staff was very cooperative, very friendly, and very informative, and marched me around the whole complex. I was impressed. It was price friendly. There's a dining room and both the 2- and 1-bedroom apartments were being updated. They have places where you could park that are covered. They also have social activities, everything from cards to luxurious entertainment. It was more of an independent living type of a situation than a care facility.

I really like Parkway. Very nice staff, lots of great activities and the building is first-rate. Excellent!

Oakmont Parkway is where my aunt was, but because her memory issues started to get worse, independent living was no longer a very good option for her. It was beautiful and well-appointed, the food was very good, there was a ton of activities, and the staff was very caring. Lisa -- the executive director -- was very helpful and provided some guidance for me on what to look for as I was trying to find another place for my aunt. They do field trips, they were constantly bringing in entertainment and music, and there was always something going on. It was a very lively place.

Oakmont Senior Communities Parkway was very nice, newer, and more convenient for me, too. It was well laid out, and the rooms were good. The dining room was very lovely.
