I love the bright, resort-like community - beautiful, well-kept grounds and apartments, great activities (music, fitness, pool, garden) and a genuinely caring, friendly staff who made the move smooth. Dining is often outstanding but inconsistent at times and lacks some vegetarian options. My caveat: recent management turnover, staffing shortages, and a few maintenance/billing hiccups (elevators, leaks, extra charges) have caused delays. Overall I'm happy here for the social life and supportive team, but expect occasional service and leadership bumps.
Santianna Oakmont Signature Senior Living sits on a hillside at 2560 Faraday Ave in the City Center neighborhood of Carlsbad, California, and it's part of the Oakmont Communities and Wellquest Living Community network, which runs several similar senior living communities under names like Oakmont of Concord and The Ivy at Wellington. This place calls itself a "Signature Senior Living" community and uses the term Vienna for its boutique-style memory care right next to the main building, and it offers different kinds of senior care, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, continuing care, respite care, hospice, home health, and home care. People can rent apartments ranging from studio suites to two-bedroom units, and the designs focus on lots of space, kitchens or kitchenettes, and quality finishes, but there's no detailed list of every floor plan or building detail. Some apartments have kitchens with appliances, and the place allows pets.
Santianna has a swimming pool and a hot tub spa, which gives seniors a chance to stay active or relax, plus there are wellness and fitness programs including yoga and stretching. Services include things like daily housekeeping, laundry, linen service, dietary accommodations for a variety of nutrition needs like low salt, vegetarian, renal, or kosher diets, and chef-prepared meals served in a dining room, with guest meals available. There's a wellness center and a nurse always on staff, so help's always nearby, and personal care matches each resident's needs. The rent and care fees are all-inclusive, and payments can be made by check, while shared memory care starts at $5,395 plus care.
On the inside, there's a computer room for residents to use, and regular activities include games, hobbies, horticultural projects, music, plus educational and creative programs that encourage staying physically and socially active-some focus on music, literature, and tabletop games. The community has a friendly atmosphere, with scenic hillside views out over the town below, and common spaces are designed to let people connect with one another. Some features aim to support LGBTQ individuals, and the property follows legal protections for housing and services. There's a parking lot and space for visiting guests. Memory care services are tailored for those who need more support, with the Vienna boutique environment offering quieter, more personal attention. Apartments and shared rooms are available for memory care residents.
Santianna Oakmont Signature Senior Living isn't currently listed for sale or rent on public sites, but it stays active as a rental apartment community and holds California state license number 374604533. Services and amenities are focused on comfort, safety, good food, and a variety of ways to stay engaged, with staff always around. The setting's peaceful, with beautiful landscaping, and there's a wide selection of related Oakmont and Ivy Park communities around California and the western states if families want to compare services.
