Oakmont of Carmichael was an excellent facility. It looked brand new. The tour person and the staff were very knowledgeable. They had different activities going on throughout the day. They have lots of different spaces for them to meet and socialize. They had tried to promote social interaction. They responded to the level of care that my parent would need. It's also extremely pricey, but you get what you pay for. I was very impressed with the whole facility, especially the individualization of the programs that they seem to be able to do there. I got to see the one private room. Even the shared rooms did not seem crowded there. They gave a feeling of space. The private room was big enough to make it accommodating for a few personal items. The bathroom was very spacious. The staff was very helpful, very understanding of the process that we're going through, and talked about having support for the family. The anecdotes showed how they individualized for a person's needs and their difficulties transitioning. They let them have the freedom that they could have in choosing their menu or items. It was a fast-food kind of thing, but they would assist them with their dining. They have several options for the main meals and then snacks throughout the day. So that was a nice and homey feeling for a dining area.

I visited Oakmont of Carmichael. The community itself is gorgeous. The staff was informative. The rooms I rate a five, they were very nice. It looked extremely clean, very nice, and well-kept. When I visited, they were doing flu shots there. The outdoors is well-kept and clean. They were too expensive.

They have plenty off staff to take care of the residents, the staff you can tell are well trained and they listen to what the families concerns can be and actually do something about it when they have the opportunity to.

I went to Oakmont of Carmichael and saw both the assisted living and the memory care. I liked it so much that I told my husband that this is the place that we're going to retire. I saw their menu, and the person who assisted me explained how often they change it. They have a restaurant, a dog park, a garden, and a courtyard too. I saw them doing crosswords, but he also showed me all the other activities they do. It felt like you're in a cruise. He even gave me cookies when I left. He was very nice. What I also liked about it was that the residents have this little electronic device, like a badge, with them. They don't have it in the memory care unit because they don't want people to wander off, but the assisted care has it since they have more independence. I liked the aspect of that extra added component to their security level. He told me about how their laundry services work. He showed me their salon and their kitchenette. He explained to me the difference between assisted care among others. I was able to see a fully furnished model and that you can fix it up how you wanted it. They want you to feel at home. He said that every month, they talk to the community council about changes. Like they used to have movies at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, but the residents wanted to have them no later than 10:30 am. They changed it and that was nice. I was floored at what kind of stuff they get to you. He was more of a salesman kind of. Not that he wasn't good, he was totally professional. It's just the place is much more expensive than the other places, so I understand that.

The caregivers are wonderful and staff, John C., Marketing Director, Nathan, Executive Director, are very attentive to needs of residents. Chef Jones tries to make dishes residents request. Activity Director, Anika, keeps us busy with games, etc.

I have been here since we opened 5 years ago. I am so happy here. Everyone is so nice and helpful. I feel secure and I wouldn't want to be any place else. This is my home!
