I live at Oakmont of Pacific Beach and, overall, I'm very happy-beautiful, pristine, new facility just blocks from the beach with lovely grounds and great apartment layouts (amazing bedrooms/baths, private showers, soundproof). The staff and caregivers are overwhelmingly kind, attentive and professional-management is responsive and the memory-care/Alzheimer's program is up-to-date and linked with the Alzheimer's Association. There's a huge range of activities, music and gatherings, plus gourmet dining, room service and flexible hours. Safety protocols are strict and I appreciate the cleanliness and zero COVID cases. It's top-notch but extremely expensive and not for every budget; a few people report occasional communication problems or mixed interactions with a minority of staff. I recommend it if you can afford the cost and want luxury, excellent care, and an active community.
