Claremont Place sits in the Oakmont neighborhood, right in Claremont, CA, and offers different living options for older adults who want support but also want to keep some independence, and you'll find places to live like one-bedroom or studio apartments, as well as bigger units, and some folks end up in apartments while others pick houses, condos, or townhomes, and they've got some pet-friendly options for cats and dogs if you've got one, while their homes have well-planned safety features like smoke detectors, sprinklers, and an emergency pendant system that runs round-the-clock, and though apartments come with most utilities, you'd still need your own phone and cable. The staff encourages people to do as much as they're able on their own, but help's always close by for things like getting dressed, taking medicine, or handling a wheelchair or transfers, which means if you need support every day, or even with hospice care, you can stay at Claremont Place as your needs change. For folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, the place offers a secured memory care section with its own building, locked doors, special alarms for wandering, unique plans for each person, cognitive activities, behavioral care, medication management, and 24-hour awake staff, and it accepts residents who may be at risk for walking off, need different levels of transfer help, or even have trouble with physical outbursts. The facility has a nurse, visiting therapists, podiatrists, and kind staff who stand out for their joy and calm in handling residents' needs.
Meals are a big part of life, with a professional chef, dining rooms, a bistro, and room service if you want it, and people can get special diets, including gluten-free, vegetarian, low-sodium, or low-sugar meals, and guests can join residents for dining or special family celebrations in private rooms. Recreation and social time matter, so you'll see a full schedule of programs-games, arts and crafts, movie nights, gardening, stretching classes, yoga, trips, even karaoke and intergenerational events, plus a daily snack program and regular check-ins, and there's an activity director who makes sure nobody feels left out. The community has walking paths and an enclosed courtyard with a fountain, herb, and rose gardens, so residents can go outside for fresh air, and inside, you'll find a billiards lounge, a game room, a library, spaces with fireplaces, a café/bistro, an arts and crafts center, raised gardening beds, and spots for music with a piano or organ. Spiritual life's covered, too, with on-site and off-site services for Protestant, Catholic, and other faiths.
Claremont Place keeps everything maintenance-free, from weekly housekeeping, laundry, and daily tidying, to a full-time concierge who helps arrange things and local transportation, which can be free or paid, and while there are lots of indoor and outdoor common spaces, there's no information about outdoor recreation beyond the enclosed courtyard and walking paths. Technology helps keep everyone safe, including a wandering-alert bracelet system for those in memory care. The facility takes the law seriously and protects LGBTQ residents and those with varied sources of income or gender identity, and it stands out for a culture that values friendliness and helpfulness from its staff. Claremont Place won Best of Senior Living Awards and is checked biannually for compliance, and people say it offers high-quality care in independent living, assisted living, home care, and especially memory care. Tours are available for families wanting to see how daily life, meals, and activities fit together at the community.
