Oakmont Management Group

They really do a good job keeping the community neat. The nurses are wonderful The P.A. has sometimes been slow on the follow-up, and doesn't always show up when he says he will. They have a lot of activities but they seem a little more geared towards women. The food is pretty good but depends on the day, at least for him. What's nice about the menu is if you don't like the daily special you can always get something different, I would give the food a four. The overall experience has been good. They have a lot of opportunity for social activity, at least twice a week they have gatherings in the receiving area. You can participate as much or as little as you want.

The surroundings are very nice. I visited both AL and IL. I met the LPNs in AL. I appreciated that they invited me to talk while they were eating their lunches. I was introduced to the site administrator and was invited for lunch. I did not get to finish my questions but will call later. There were two minor problems that needed my guide, the house manager, attention. 1) I'm not getting my cough medicine. I miss you; things get done when you are here. 2) Mrs. X is missing. She's not here and I called there and she's not there either.

Referred by Sarah Sunrise 4th visit. Nice , 77 in independent living, separate buildings Nancy OK

They are doing just fine, they came within my budget, they aren't real high end, or real low end. What they offered for the high end of my budget was less than what Atria Sutton offered, so I had to go with them. I find they have done a real nice job.

Clientele is all Salinas area. Requires a $500 deposit. Distance from everywhere.

A little expensive. Co-mingles assisted living and memory care for events sometimes. Requires $2500 deosit. Currently we'd be at top of list

My brother has settled in and is doing well here. He told me just yesterday, "I like it here." The people here seem to really care about their residents and are most helpful with all their needs.

May be too big. Dad prefers smaller complex.

I met with Laura and explained my situation. She was most kind and listened but was unable to work within out budget.

I had a quick visit of memory care. Clean and looks like a great social / activity program. The location is near-perfect for our family, but the cost may put it out of our reach.

They're willing to take questions and there's always activities going on. What we liked about Emeritus from the very beginning is my mother-in-law is from Connecticut and Emeritus has sister communities all over so someone from Emeritus in Connecticut was able to evaluate her there. Right off the airplane we were able to go and settle her in with out having that transition of going from my house to Emeritus and having to explain why she can't live with us. It was just much easier for all of us. So far we really like them. They're small enough that she doesn't get lost in the shuffle. Their cottages are smaller. It's not one huge big thing so they kind of get individual care in that sense. Anytime we have a question I am comfortable with asking them. They're very open. She has a bedroom there. There is no kitchenette so she has to get out and socialize. She can't lock herself up in her room.

The memory care is very good. I really must say everything is very good. They have been helpful. We have been family members that have been difficult and were not happy with certain things and have taken my mother-in-law out for her birthday. They took her out overnight which was not good because she really just wanted to go home after that. They arranged a meeting among family members and explained why it was not good for her to be out over night at this point. There were very helpful in that I would say. Overall they try extremely hard to please everyone and they take good care of my mother-in-law.

To date our loved one appears to be quite content in their new home; it is a good fit. Staff is pleasant and courteous.

For both: The Grandview was smaller and more intimate than the Gardens in SM. Crystal gave us the tour, and she was wonderful! Kind, caring, and knowledgeable. The place seemed clean and the residents seemed well cared for. The one bedroom apartment seemed a little small-ish, but the resident had a lot of furniture. The two-bedroom was lovely and spacious.

I've never seen it dirty anywhere. I've only talked to them on the phone. I haven't talked to them in person because I was really busy with my mom when I was there. My mom is doing fine there. She loves it. They meet my mom's major needs: they have decent food and they take them to the casino regularly.

They offered three meals a day for independent living and my mom was not interested in that. She was interested in having a full kitchen and being able to cook on her own a bit. They had small units with only partial kitchens.

We weren't crazy about the outdoor area there and the size of the rooms but he people were very nice. My parents like to sit outside quite a bit so the outdoor area was important. Other than that it seemed like a really nicely run place.

I only toured but on the surface that looked pretty good. I think it's only about 10 or 12 years old, the building itself. It had a gym and a swimming pool. It was a bigger complex, all under one roof. I think they had two dining areas. This probably would have been our second choice. There's more people here and that might have been better for my wife to have more people around to distract her.

I appreciated the way the administration worked with us to get in. I though that went smoothly. I didn't really have any complaints there and they were generous on the move in fee so we were grateful for that. When you're parent's there you want it all to be a five. The care was fine. I don't know that they didn't do all that they could. They certainly tried to anything we requested. They did two hour checks. My dad requires a lot of spiritual attention and that was not quite their thing. I would recommend it for most people. They didn't do anything wrong. They were nice and worked with us. I think our situation was different, being Christian Scientists but they were certainly caring. There were no major issues. The room was very nice. In terms of getting a hold of one of the caregivers, the only my dad could do that would be to go to the bathroom and hit the button so that's not really convenient.

I thought it was very lovely but they layout would have been too confusing for my sister-in-law to deal with. It was a beautiful place and the people were really nice. The apartment wasn't as nice and the layout wasn't very self contained - not like the other Vintage location, Vintage Coventry.
