I've been a long-term resident since opening and overall give this beautiful, modern community a five-star thumbs up for professional, kind, and responsive staff, an immaculate building, terrific chef-driven meals, engaging activities, and strong memory-care leadership (Denise Wadkins was especially responsive) that eased my family's burden. Caregivers were sensitive and welcoming, residents seemed happy, and common areas felt peaceful and well maintained. That said, I've seen unevenness - occasional untrained or indifferent staff, turnover, some safety/medication and management/billing hiccups - so ask about staffing, incidents, and costs. I recommend this facility but advise families to verify current practices and safeguards before committing.
Oakmont of Riverpark stands on a scenic and well-kept property with beautiful views, and the grounds give plenty of places to walk or sit outdoors, which always helps residents enjoy the fresh air and sunshine, and you'll notice that right away when visiting. Inside, the facility offers spacious apartment homes with a few different floor plans, so each resident can choose the right amount of space and style for their needs, and the apartments have what seniors need for safety and comfort, plus easy access to common areas. The community has separate spaces for residents to gather, like living rooms, dining rooms, and a dedicated wellness center, which focuses on health and well-being in everyday life, and there's always something happening, because the staff keeps up a lively calendar with activities, social events, and programs meant to encourage friendships and engagement.
The culinary team, made up of hand-picked cooks and chefs, serves meals that are both enjoyable and meant to support good health, and residents can eat together in dining areas designed to be friendly and comfortable. Oakmont of Riverpark is what's called a continuing care retirement community, so the campus actually offers a range of living choices and care levels all in the same place. There are independent living options for active seniors, assisted living services for residents who want extra help with daily activities, as well as memory care for individuals living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. Skilled nursing care is also available for residents who need more medical support. The community has professional care staff, including a full-time nurse and a team members known for their compassion, and specialized contacts like Queni and Lace for help or questions, so there's always someone available day and night, seven days a week, to help with health needs or emergencies.
The management encourages residents to stay active, social, and independent, but they also adjust services as needs change, and that flexibility means many people choose to stay through different stages of retirement. Amenities like Wi-Fi, pet-friendly options, and accessibility features give comfort and convenience, and home care services are available if someone wants companionship or non-medical help in their living space. Oakmont of Riverpark maintains its licenses and meets review standards with current inspections twice a year. Tours are offered so families and new residents can learn more about daily life, dining, and activities. More information about services, amenities, and programs is available at oakmontseniorliving.com/riverpark.
