Tender loving care

My husband was a resident in memory care/hospice care for 1 month + 1 day. He received loving care in this spotlessly clean facility. The gardens are lovely, the public areas are beautifully appointed, and the residents’ apartments are roomy and modern. Staff, administration and caregivers, is exceptional. They couldn’t have been more attentive to my husband and our family.

They will drive residents to stores in Novato, and to doctors as far as North San Rafael (Where Kaiser is). Very flexible and helpful. Staff is friendly. Place is very clean, and they keep each apartment clean as well.

Thank goodness for Oakmont of Novato

Oakmont of Novato has been a godsend for me and my family this past year when I urgently needed to place both my dad and my mom into a secure facility. My dad, who has Alzheimers, was welcomed warmly into the Traditions facility and has made many friends. Despite his ongoing decline, he is well taken care of and thrives doing the activities, especially with Dean, the amazing Engagement Coordinator. My mom's situation was much more complicated and the whole team at Oakmont worked with me to navigate her accommodations and support as she recovered from a mental health emergency. With support from Oakmont, she has made a miraculous recovery and is moving from the Traditions side to the Assisted Living side this week. The whole team has been incredibly gracious during this challenging time and is actively supporting my mom navigate losing her husband to Alzheimers while also trying to rehabilitate herself. The facility is beautiful and while there is nothing fun about witnessing parent

Great place to live

Have lived here several months and the experience is superior. The staff is dedicated, the food is diverse, tasty and more than sufficient. The activity programs are extensive and interesting. Trips are frequent and to interesting points of interest. I would recommend the experience to all who are seeking a superior long- term senior living facility.

He truly feels at home now

My father, [name removed] has been in Oakmont Memory Care for 2 1/2 months. They nurtured him and guided him through a difficult transition he had. Now he has adjusted, adapted, is very happy, and he loves all the activities and interactions he has with the staff and residents. I am comforted, in knowing my father is in a good place where he can thrive and be happy. Thank you Oakmont for the wonderful care. He truly feels at home now.

Good fit

Thought the tours and general interaction with the staff was professional yet personable. The room sizes are very nice there. My loved ones opted for a 2 bedroom apartment and it is perfect for their needs.

It's very clean and bright, the staff are friendly and it's a pretty convenient location. Nothing needs improvement, you just have to be the right fit to enjoy living there.

Review for Oakmont of Novato

Mostly people needing assistance. Not much in activities for physical fitness. Food is not good at all and management doesn't seem to care. Not much socially as well.

Our experience at Oakmont of Novato

My mother was previously a resident at Oakmont of Novato in the Memory Care unit. Her experience at this facility was very bad. They are understaffed at this facility and the staff that they do have are inexperienced. I (and several other families) had to remove and relocate our loved ones that were living at Oakmont of Novato. I would not recommend this facility at the present. They have many issues to work out. The facility is clean and the meals were good. However, the Memory Care unit is very short staffed and the Executive team is always in transition. In the six months that my mother was a resident, we had almost four different GM's.

An expensive mistake

This facility may be new and beautiful, but it is deeply troubled stemming from a lack of leadership, frequent management turn-over, a lack of staff training and temporary staff that hasn't been fully vetted. Fall monitors were not functional, nor were the emergency pendants until 10 months after the facility opened. As of this date - [date removed], the state has sited their memory care unit with 12 type A citations, which are the most serious, and 19 type B citations. Now they are applying for a new license, which will remove all prior citations, and consumers won't see a 3 year history of all citations unless they officially request a report from the CDSS (California Department of Social Services) My family was afraid for my mother's safety every single day she was there.

Beautiful on the outside, horrible resident care

My L.O. Lived here, they are all for profit. They spend all of their money on a beautiful building, on marketing, and on a decent chef. Don’t be fooled, both the assisted living community and the memory care Traditions have awful care. Untrained care staff, horrible communication, medication mishaps, unsafe environment. The turnover rate is as ridiculous as their care costs. Save your family member and do not place them in this building. Look online at the department of Social services to see valid and substantiated complaints for yourself.

Caution

Looks great from the outside but this facility has a long way to go insides. Memory care is short staffed and stretched. TV primary source of activities. Care staff is doing best they can. Administration is hands off and has a high turnover rate. 3 Executive Directors in less than 1 year.

Beautiful large and friendly community

I have worked in facilities for senior citizens for 30 years now. I can tell you there are some pretty depressing places out there! I'm so happy that we now have Oakmont in Novato. The staff is wonderful and they have activities and even physical therapy.

I found, friendliness, helpfulness and cleanliness everywhere. The place sparkles. Found willingness to agree to check on my stepfather every hour or two, or more if necessary, including during the nights. This routine is needed besides the calling button, to assure that he will not start walking on his own and fall again. They were willing to take mi throughout the building including the to the memory care section, in spite of the Corona. What I saw were happy well dressed about 40 people around extended large tables, chatting, playing cards and bingo.

Tips for evaluating your community options.

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know California’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about California’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
