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.

Review for Oakmont of Novato

It's a nice facility, the staff is very professional, the price is outrageous. We were attracted to them because of the location.

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.

My Tour Experience at Oakmont of Novato

This was a nice community. It was more expensive than we wanted to spend.

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.

The community overall is a nice place and the staff is very friendly. The community is kept neat and clean and my loved one really enjoys the food. They have activities going on in the community and I would recommend this community to others.

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.
