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.
