Oakmont Northville

ReviewerFY#0930a

I toured Oakmont Northville at Seven Mile Road. It was nice, but I just didn't really feel that's where I wanted to be. There are some good points to it, like the fact that it's family-owned, but they didn't have the amenities that I would like. The grounds are OK, but not impressive. The person who did the tour was very nice and helpful. They only had two meals a day, which isn't a difficult thing, except none of their apartments have accommodations for cooking.

Oakmont is beautiful facility and nice size apartments. We moved my mom in based on the care company that is housed in Oakmont (3rd party) 24hours. Sadly, this changed 6 months after we moved my mom in. Ace is now there, which is a horrible care company. So, if your loved one needs additional care to live at Oakmont, you will want to re-consider. As this is NOT an age in place facility. I also did not like how they would host activities that would require RSVP's. Meaning they would turn your loved one away for a hot dog in the dining room if they did not turn in their rsvp. I found this very sad to NOT include everyone. Also, if your loved one needs assistance getting on the bus, they also will not be able to attend. Unlike assisted living where they assist everyone. They have had trouble keeping an activities director until recent. I do like the common areas, very welcoming, the dining area is spacious. I would have liked to see Oakmont use the beautiful back patio that they sold us on more during the summer months. Instead, they made this space very difficult for the residents to use. Sadly due to the care company and lack of care, we had to move my mom.

My parents moved into Oakmont Northville more than a month ago. The staff seems to be very friendly. There's no interaction with them unless you need them, but they're very helpful. The grounds are very nice, very clean, and very well maintained. The food is excellent. They have 2 nightly specials, and they get 3 meals a day. They play bingo and they go to happy hours. They had a Mother's Day lunch and that was nice. They do offer an activity bus every Friday, and they go to the grocery store, the Dollar Tree, and the pharmacy. They also have access to a chauffeur if they need to go to dental appointments or wherever they need to be. They also have a doctor that comes to the facility once a week. They have a beauty shop on the premises. They have a theater, an activity room, and a library. The other thing that Oakmont Northville offers is they have emergency call buttons in the apartment. They have four of them in the room, and each resident gets one, either a necklace or a wristband, that they wear. It's a great value for the price.

Oakmont Northville seemed to be well educated and well knowledgeable about the information we needed and the questions that we had. They offer a large variety of activities and encourage social integration of their residents. It had a hair salon, a bar, a game room, a theater, and then activities that were scheduled around the week in those activity rooms.

We saw Oakmont Northville Senior Community. This was called independent living, but I disagreed with the director, that was not independent living because they do everything for the residents. If you need it, that's fine, but for someone who doesn't need that, my contention is that you need a purpose in life, and if you're able to do it, you should be able to do it and not have everything done for you. It's a beautiful facility. They do your laundry, they clean your room constantly, they take your trash out constantly. You have to eat your meals in the dining room, meals are included in the monthly cost, and there is no discount if you don't eat them. When we arrived, it was mealtime in the afternoon, but most of the residents were in the dining room, so there weren't any other activities going on at the time. We saw a room that had a small kitchen, but it did have all the appliances and a refrigerator, and a stove. The people seem to be very friendly. We did see the chapel. We passed some of the aides in the hall and kind of quickly met them. The facility is very nice, furnished very nicely, and clean.

My dad is at the independent living of Oakmont Northville. What I like is exactly that, that it's independent living but his meals are provided, they clean the room, and they do the laundry. It's very, very nice. It's a beautiful area and the building is beautiful. The people there are extremely nice and helpful. They have a barbershop there too but the meals are my dad's favorite thing. He does not complain about the food, at all, and he said the food is very good.
