Oakmont Management Group

My loved one is happy there and settled in. You need to ask every month for the itemization. They charge for every single thing. To try to get an itemized monthly breakdown is difficult. Apparently this is not uncommon in this industry.

I would recommend

They're just so organized, friendly, professional and experienced. Super clean. Food is great and so many activities. It is a bit on the more expensive side. Our only problem is that our two family members don't want to be there and close themselves off. We had to force them to start going to the dining room for meals. But my son and I couldn't be happier with this place and their care. They are getting everything they need and more.

It’s very challenging as a loved one of someone in a care facility. It would be really helpful if the different facilities would clearly articulate what they can do, what is challenging without additional training and which services they absolutely cannot provide.

Nice staff and nice faculty. Yes, would recommend to others

For the most part I found the staff to be friendly, kind, and helpful. The faculty was nice but a better job at cleaning the apartments needs improvement. Some areas of the facility could use freshening. The outside grounds were well maintained. For the most part the food was good, but they could improve on the rotation of the meals and selections.

What I like the most about The Ivy at Hawaii Kai is the warm swimming pool, wide variety of residence, excellent choice of types of apartments, Lots of options, Ocean view from the pool and some apartments excellent accommodations

My loved one is currently a resident at Oakmont of Carmichael and the overall experience has been very good so far. The staff are friendly. It seems like a clean environment. However, it is very expensive. Based on our experience, I would recommend Oakmont of Carmichael to others.

Our loved one has since moved out but during the experience we had with Ivy Park we really enjoyed their holiday family dinners. We would recommend this community to other families who may need a place for their loved ones.

The day to day staff at MorningStar of Hayward is great, the administrative staff is okay. They need to hire accountants that know accounting. As for the food, sometimes it is a 2 (cold food) and sometimes it is a 5 (outstanding steaks). The housekeeping is okay, they don't always clean well. Communication with the family is good. The move in process was okay. They need to clean up the basement and basement access. The 'extra help' charges are a disaster. Everything is points and levels. I have no idea what stuff costs. The first threshold is about $1,000 for just the simplest help.

They hardly ever have any staff in the building. Yesterday the whole building had one caregiver and one med tech! Staff seems to change very frequently. It is a nicer place aesthetically than others we had looked into.

My mom loves it here. She is very happy with the neighborhood, friendliness of the staff and residents and the freedom she is given as an independent resident.

They finally got a transportation person. He's very nice. They are very friendly. The food is still luncheon dinner leave something to be desired. They raised our rates by 8% and didn't give a anything back for all the transportation that we provided on our own, I would definitely say that they Are not as good as they claim.The activities are pretty good and we have a new activity Director, who is very nice.The value for cost is not as much as what they ask, and they should prorate because of the lack of transportation person until recently.

I'm very happy with Ivy Park. My mom really seems to like it.

They have nice staff.

Always ask how stable management is because every time it changes, staff changes and this effects residents drastically! Thank God for the dedicated care staff who remain and try to keep things normal.

My Mom was in Memory Care for 6 years. She got great care but hated every minute. I have a lot of experience with "assisted living. Everyone hates it but we're all going to need it at the beginning and end of our lives. Human beings always complain about the food in residential care, whether it's school, summer camp, the military, prison or residential living. Even in our own homes. Left to their own devices, most would complain even with total autonomy. If an adequate amount of healthy food is available, it's a trivial complaint. The most important thing in an assisted living facility is the caregivers. Fortunately, my loved one has not needed a huge amount of attention from them. But I have confidence that they will care for her if she needs it. That is why she is there.

The staff has been very friendly and helpful. The facility is beautiful. I wish there were more options for activities on the memory care side. There are amazing ones on assisted living side. Understandably, they can't have as many based on some of the residents' abilities. As for the staff- it took us a little while to figure out who you go to for what need you have. Once we got that figured out it was really good. Everyone does seem genuinely interested in trying to help though. And staff is always friendly. They seem very willing to work through our particular family needs. For the food- there aren't as many choices for food on the memory care side as assisted living, so we are still figuring that out but our dad seems happy with it.

Overall the staff are very nice and provide good care. Communication and contacting administrative staff is a challenge. We realize there has been a change in ownership companies the day after placing my father in-law and we hope it will get better.

It's a nice community and I know my mom is safe and has her needs attended to. We were able to get her a two bedroom-two bath with a very small kitchen that worked for her needs.
