Oakmont of Chino Hills sits in a nice spot with a Spanish-style look and tidy walkways out front, so you get that pleasant feeling as soon as you come up to the building. The place offers different types of help for seniors, like independent living, assisted living, and memory care for folks living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and they do make special care plans depending on each person's needs, with a wellness center and a full-time nurse right there, always available. The assisted living section helps people with things like dressing, bathing, and managing medicine, and there are services for those needing more care over time like hospice, aging in place, or even just a short stay for respite care if someone's family needs a break. Memory care is located in its own building, with a secure setup, locked doors, special alarms, and staff trained to handle wandering or tough behavior, using technology like bracelets to help keep folks safe and right where they belong, and there's staff around the clock with a nurse on site and a doctor on call.
Oakmont has some of those usual places you'd expect-like a big elegant dining room with made-to-order meals, restaurant service, and room service, and they'll prepare food for folks with different needs like vegan, low-salt, or low-sugar diets, so almost anyone should find something to eat, and you can eat any time, not just on a schedule. The apartments are well-kept and come as studios, one-bedrooms, or two-bedrooms, some with private bathrooms, walk-in closets, patios or balconies, plus an emergency call system just in case. The shared areas have things like a bistro, bar, residents' lounge, library, and movie room with nice recliners and a popcorn machine, and folks can use the arts and crafts center, ballroom, piano, beauty salon, game room, billiards lounge, computer room, fitness center with colorful weights and chairs for classes, and even a swimming pool or hot tub to stay active. Outside, there's plenty of room with gardens, a courtyard, and raised garden beds for people who still like to putter with plants.
There's a full-time activity director going over a long list of programs each week, from stretching, yoga, Tai Chi, and water aerobics to art, cooking, trivia, and Wii bowling, and they offer trips, educational talks, and a bit of wine tasting or social gatherings in the evenings. There's pet-friendly policies, including care for cats and dogs, and some residents can keep a small pet in their room if that's what feels like home to them. Visiting health professionals come regularly-nurses, dentists, podiatrists, therapists for physical or speech needs-so the basics and some specialized help are covered, and they do transport folks to appointments, shopping, or outings using complimentary and paid ride options.
Every week, staff handle housekeeping and laundry, and the place includes free Wi-Fi, fireplaces in common spaces, and even parking set aside for residents. The entire property is built with safety and mobility in mind, like wheelchair accessible showers, safe walkways outside, and accessible indoor lounges.
