  My cousin and his wife needed a respite when he was placed under hospice care in critical condition. We chose Oakmont Gardens because it is literally two blocks from my home and they needed my support. We didn't expect him to be with us for long, yet the restful environment provided the transformation that has him walking independently just 3 months from his medical crises. His wife was able to take care of him and rest adequately with the help of private caregivers; they had nourishing, satisfying meals from the dining room; and they enjoyed the graciousness of a very attentive staff. The grounds are pleasant and all of the common areas are kept welcoming and tidy. With self-serve (free) laundry on-site and a market and bank within walking distance, their recovery time has been ideal.

  My 87-year old father will be moving into independent living next week. The process of touring and securing an apartment for him was seamless, and he is looking forward to joining the community and making new friends. What sets Oakmont Gardens apart is all of the activities and amenities within the entire Oakmont Village community available to residents. There will be so many opportunities for my dad to stay active and engaged.

  We are in the process of moving our father into Oakmont Gardens, and we couldn't be more pleased. The facility itself is lovely, and all of the staff have been incredibly welcoming. Lisa, the Director of Sales and Marketing, made everything so easy ... from touring the facility, to picking a unit, to completing all of the paperwork, Lisa ensured that everything was smooth and that we were comfortable with all aspects of this big decision. She also treated us to lunch in the dining room, where the food was excellent and the service very attentive. Our father doesn't move in until next month, but he is already very excited about living there.

  After a devastating slip, plus a fall a month later which broke her sacrum, my then 86 year old mother thought she had reached the end of her road. It was a huge wake-up call for her. During her recovery, she realized there was no way she could return to living alone in her two story condominium, over 100 miles away from family. She is fiercely independent, and on her own, researched several independent living facilities. When she found Oakmont Gardens, she said, "This is exactly what I've been looking for. It's perfect!" She forged full steam ahead with making the arrangements, before she was even physically able to move there. "They have the apartment I want, and I don't want to lose my chance." Mom officially moved in several months ago, and Oakmont Gardens has been nothing short of a blessing. She has always been quite a social butterfly, so she has had no trouble making friends. We are very grateful for the staff and the Oakmont Gardens community for making what could have been a difficult transition a very smooth process. The staff is especially attentive, and whenever a question or concern is communicated, they are incredibly quick to respond. The buildings are well kept and very clean, there are over 100 clubs, and the residents can enjoy all the recreational facilities available to the Oakmont community. The dining room offers a wide selection, and the meals I have eaten there have all been good. The Oakmont Gardens lifestyle reminds me of being on a cruise; everything is taken care of, including transportation and scheduled outings. Some of us like to keep busy, others prefer not to have every minute scheduled, and at Oakmont Gardens, either choice is welcomed.

  The facility is well thought through and has many features to keep people active and engaged. There are many attractive outside areas to encourage spending time in nature.

  My parents' moved to Oakmont Gardens a few months ago. Living here has greatly improved, and simplified their lives. We toured numerous other Senior Living Communities; none of the others came close in comparison. Especially with all the activities they offer, that other's do not. Lisa and Monique made the move in process seamless. Their entire Team are all so helpful and friendly. As a resident of Oakmont Gardens, you have full use of the entire Oakmont Community. My Dad walks across the street to the Gym each morning, and they are both enjoying the heated Pool and Hot Tub. They love walking the beautiful, and safe neighborhood. Most times when we call or visit, they can be found enjoying one of the many social activities; Happy Hour is a favorite! They have made so many friends in the short time they've been there. My Mom always says "We've met so many nice people!" The meals are wonderful, and they appreciate that there are so many options. Knowing that my parents' are enjoying life and having all their needs met at Oakmont Gardens, brings immense peace of mind.

  We moved my 88-year old father into Oakmont Gardens three months ago and he couldn’t be more happy. After living in the same house for sixty years, he is now in a place that is bright, clean, and bustling with activity. The people couldn’t be nicer and the food is spectacular. He is across the street from the gym and the swimming pool and the little market is right up the street. For him, he went from living alone to living his best life!!!

  Oakmont Gardens in Santa Rosa was, at the beginning, a fantastic place to live. The staff were kind, caring, and attentive, and it truly felt like a supportive community for seniors when I moved my parents there 2 yrs ago. Unfortunately, since the arrival of the new General Manager, there has been a noticeable shift. Cost-cutting measures appear to be a priority, while additional costs are being passed on to residents. This is especially frustrating given how extremely expensive it already is to live in this community. What was once promoted as a safe, all-inclusive environment for seniors now feels more like a money-hungry corporation focused on profits over people. Food quality has gone downhill significantly, both in taste and consistency. Maintenance calls, which were clearly presented as included amenities at the time of move-in, are now being charged to residents, which feels misleading and unfair. There are also serious safety and accessibility concerns. The back patio area has non-ADA-compliant curbs, making it difficult—and in some cases unsafe—for first-floor assisted living residents to access their vehicles. Even more concerning, emergency pendant response times for first-floor residents can range anywhere from 15 minutes to up to 2 hours. For seniors requiring assisted living care, this delay is unacceptable and potentially dangerous. This community once set a high standard, but recent management decisions have negatively impacted resident care, safety, and overall quality of life. I hope leadership takes these concerns seriously and works to restore the level of care residents were promised and deserve.

  Oakmont Gardens offered many outside activities and other things that seemed good for people who wanted to be more active. The apartments were sufficient, and the large facility was not appealing to my dad. The whole area is a historically senior living community, and so there are varying levels of housing for those types of seniors. It's pretty diverse, but probably too overwhelming for my dad. It's like a little city. The staff who gave the tour was very helpful. The facility seemed clean but a bit older.

  I have been in Assisted Living at Oakmont Gardens for 20 months now, after a very bad fall and several operations. Since coming here I have felt cared for, and I feel lighter and happier than I have in decades. The care staff, especially Sunday to Friday, are fantastic and thoughtful and I feel very safe here. My apartment looks out onto an inner courtyard with flowering shrubs and trees, and gives me independence and quiet when I want it. Oakmont Gardens is pet-friendly; there are many little dogs and I myself have a cat companion. The many social activities, range from games to art-making, cooking demonstrations, discussions, music programs and movies and allow for great companionship and interaction with peers. The three Activities staff members are thoughtful, outgoing and include as many of us as want to be part of this community and they plant seeds for inclusiveness, compassion and cooperation among us residents. The good and varied meals in the dining room make us happy and bring us together. I am very thrilled to have found this community and hope to thrive here for years to come. Elisabeth Cornu

  Look twice.

  The staff and residents are the only thing we are really pleased with. Basically the average age of the community at 93 is too old for us and my husband does not get the help he was promised. As far as the food goes, there is not enough variety. Served cold. Long wait to order and then deliver.

  AI took us on a tour with my mother-in-law and husband. Very nicely decorated, clean freshly remodeled rooms. We looked at both 1 and 2 BR apartments. The room chosen has a nice balcony with courtyard views. The food was delicious ordering off the menu. The Dining room staff were very friendly and considerate to my MIL requests for dietary restrictions. We could see they were interacting with other residents the same way. They offered extra help with move in needs. AJ was very helpful with the admission process and is great with follow up with any need or request we have. Thank you AJ.

  Review for Oakmont Gardens

  Oakmont Assisted Living served her needs while she was there. Positives are the grounds, the interior common spaces and the individual rooms. The place was always very clean and so housekeeping is certainly doing a good job. Also, some of the social gatherings seemed fun. My interactions with the staff were always pleasant. Negatives are the food and the availability of care. If dining was important, I would look elsewhere. If ready, reliable and consistent assisted living care (including transportation to doctor visits) was important, I would look elsewhere or be prepared to hire ancillary outside care.

  A friendly, welcoming community. Wonderful country setting with a safe feeling

  All staff are friendly and responsive to needs and requests made. The community is experiencing some growing pains and I'm sure it will only get better over time. The main reason I chose Oakmont Gardens was because of the close proximity to my family and it was a larger community. I would recommend them with some caveats. This community suits my husbands needs, but not mine. I am younger than most people in this community and in good health. And because of cost we can afford to live separately.

  Overall very satisfied and would highly recommend

  Quality of care - Too soon to comment but so far so good Food - Mom says the food is quite good. Activities - Too soon to comment. Mom hasn't regained full mobility yet and so hasn't been able to participate Value for the money - probably too soon to comment because (a) we don't yet know her monthly care costs, and (b) related to above, she can't yet make the most of what Oakmont has to offer My only suggestion for Oakmont is that they improve upon their new resident orientation. I have done what I can at a distance over the phone, and I think Mom was a little disoriented/confused about routines and processes. Understandable given her age and her long hospital stays before moving to Oakmont. After a few weeks, things are falling into place and she is feeling more comfortable, but there was some avoidable anxiety along the way

  We toured with Oakmont Gardens and it is a very nice facility, but unfortunately too expensive for what we were looking for.

  Oakmont Gardens was very nice and very clean. The gentleman that met us was very nice, he gave us a tour and showed us through a couple of the apartments. Their apartments were very nice and very simple. They had a garden area, a crafts room, and an exercise room. We didn't eat there but the dining area was nice and spacious and looked comfortable. The staff who helped us did a great job.

  I went to Oakmont Gardens. It's a beautiful facility. The staff member who gave the tour was wonderful, knowledgeable, and very compassionate. The community itself is small and is in a beautiful spot. Being that it's a small community, I would consider placing my mom there. The only thing about that one is that they only have one-bedroom apartments and no studios, and my mom has a preference for a studio. The dining area is beautiful. It looks like a restaurant. They have amenities like grocery stores and stuff like that for people that are visiting. It seems like a nice place. Beautiful setting with trees and a garden. They're under a large renovation right now. They have plenty of wonderful activities for seniors to engage in there. They've got a movie theater. They have an activity room where they do crafts and exercise classes. They have happy hours and a social area where they play some piano music and stuff. One day a month, they have live music. The dining room looks restaurant-style with nice tablecloths and a very nice setting.

  Oakmont Gardens is a very nice facility. It's wonderful and they provide great care to my dad. His apartment's nice. I like the garden-type atmosphere out in the courtyard. The whole facility to me is just very well done and the staff has been good to him. They offer an awful lot of activities. They've got a van that takes people around wherever they need to or on excursions around the Santa Rosa area. They have activities within the facility as well. They got a library, puzzles on every floor, games, and all kinds of things that I see published in the elevators.
