We toured a few different communities and this one seemed to be the best fit for my mom. She is doing well here.She is starting to meet new residents and make some friends. She is participating in some of the activities. She really likes the food. The community is always clean and well maintained.

The Vincent in San Rafael, CA
5.0

Mom moved in to the Oakmont in San Rafael less than a few months ago. The Traditions memory care team at Oakmont and other team members already feel like family members for Mom and me. This has been a tough transition for both of us and the team has really been so compassionate and supportive. I live close by and I'm able to drop by every day to visit and join in activities like daily morning stretches, brain games, garden picnics, and Thursday live music (so great!) Everyone from the receptionists, the management team, the med techs, the care givers, and the activities team truly care about what they are doing and give 150%. My family is so grateful for the loving care that the the Oakmont team provides for my Mom. And, I appreciate the emotional support and responsiveness whenever I have any questions or concerns. When faced with challenges, they are quick to find solutions. We feel lucky we found Oakmont.
