Oakmont of San Jose
4.6

Oakmont SJ provided wonderful care to our Mom in her years there. A place like this is only as good as the people they employ and we found the Oakmont SJ staff kind and compassionate. During our search, a senior placement consultant had advised us no place is perfect but what you want is a competent team of people who care and will work with you to resolve what inevitable issues do arise. And that is exactly what we found with the Oakmont SJ team [names removed]. Mom's granddaughter said “Bless people like [name removed]. There are no words to describe how full my heart is seeing my grandma have so much fun.” When Mom moved to memory care, [name removed] worked very closely with us to ensure that this move was as smooth and seamless as possible. And [name removed]'s care staff is especially good. And we are grateful we found a fantastic team who made the last years of moms life so much more fulfilled, healthier, and happier and we are grateful.

The friendliness of the staff members and care services really stood out to us. Overall it was a good first impression. The rooms are very nice, and before COVID our loved one really enjoyed the food and eating in the dining room. She said it was good, and the servers are awesome.

This has been a very positive, happy, and clean place for my loved one. The staff are very helpful in answering the family's questions, and have responded quickly with answers. There are three meals a day served to the residents, and they have snacks available as well. Card games, baking, exercise classes, karaoke, and more are some of the activities available for the residents to choose from.
