I live here and overall I'm very happy - the building is new, spotless and hotel-like with large apartments, gorgeous grounds and outstanding amenities (theater, gym, lots of activities and outings). The staff are overwhelmingly friendly, professional and caring; administration is compassionate and issues get resolved quickly, so I feel safe and well looked-after. Dining is generally good to great but can be hit-or-miss, and the place is expensive - usually worth it for the service and security. A few caveats: I've seen occasional poor handling of belongings, some staffing/communication lapses, and the odd rude employee, but on balance I'd recommend it if you can afford it.
Oakmont of Santa Clarita sits on a landscaped campus with nice views, gardens, and walking paths, and when you walk around, you'll see wide, clean grounds and resident gardens where people seem to enjoy some quiet time outside, so if you like being in nature without leaving home, there's enough green space for that. Inside, folks can live in a studio or a two-bedroom apartment, and the floorplans have names such as Madrone, Cypress, Redwood, Acacia, Sequoia, Oak, Pine, and Walnut, which helps residents remember which layout they're in, and each place seems spacious enough for people to have what they need without feeling cramped. People who live here are aged 55 and older, and they can choose independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, and it's even set up as a continuing care retirement community, which means someone can get more help if their needs change over time.
Dining is something people pay attention to, and Oakmont of Santa Clarita has a culinary team-including chefs trained in fine dining-offering meals from breakfast through dinner, and someone once said the dining here feels like eating in a nice restaurant every day, plus there are different spaces for dining so people don't have to eat in the same spot. There's a wellness center on the premises, and they keep a full-time nurse on staff, so if somebody has health changes or daily needs, there's always someone to help out, day or night, and it feels comforting to know that extra care is right there if things shift. Staff are around 24 hours a day and people have access to security and safe surroundings, and from what people see, the staff often greet folks with a smile.
Besides the basics, Oakmont of Santa Clarita also has a private movie theater, a salon for haircuts or self-care, and activity rooms where residents sometimes gather for crafts, talks, or celebrations, so there's usually always something going on if anyone wants to join in. Their caregiver support resources and a blog are there for families and caregivers to find helpful information, which people seem to appreciate, especially if they're new to senior living decisions. Oakmont of Santa Clarita has an RCFE license number #197610184, offers regular tours for those thinking about moving in, and makes floorplans and photos available so families can get a feel for what living here looks like, and although all these perks are nice, what most folks talk about is having peace of mind, plenty of choices, and knowing there's help close by if it's ever needed.
