Oakmont Management Group

Sunrise is a very impressive community that was filled with very friendly staff. The food is really good with a good variety. The management has developed a new plan of care which is equally as impressive as the community.

My dad has been there about three weeks now. The other residents have been friendly and welcoming. The activities are great, just at his level. They bake fresh cookies every day! And they have access to a community pool one long block away. We have gone there once with Dad, and we know where we are going to be spending much of our summer vacation -- right there! The living arrangement is different than other places we saw. My dad has one bedroom of a two-bedroom "suite." Another man is in the other bedroom, and they share a common sitting area, small kitchenette space and bathroom. This appears to be a great arrangement, because the other resident is able to help my dad find his way around the place and remind him when things are happening, and there is someone to talk to when they want to, yet they both have their privacy in their own bedrooms.

Everyone was very nice and helpful. Will see if I can get my mom there Monday to see what she thinks.

Michaela was fantastic! Mom really liked her - maybe 3rd place of all we met - and really everyone we met was superb in different ways. Beautiful space, loved almost everything about it but maybe too far away from SF for ease of visits to Mom. Seemed to be the biggest one we saw, large hallways, POOL!!, amazing courtyard spaces. Really well done. Nice that it's privately owned. Keeping this as an option though not ideal...but we get that sacrifices will need to be made in one direction or another.

Too Expensive

This is like a cruise ship! Mary was so easy to work with. A little too expensive right now and located to far South Orange county.

Quite pricy, but looks beautiful!

Does needs assessment of new residents. Facility has resident pet which mom would love. Has shared suites for reduced charge.

Facility looks like a nice house rather than eldercare facility. Located on a busy cross-street (Jefferson Blvd). Facility is clean; layout is good; residents are well-groomed, but not very engaged in activities; staff is friendly (all staff wear street clothes for normalcy). Monthly fees start about $8,000 (memory care) with $3,500 one time fee (refundable within 90 days). 79 units including 43 memory rooms. Microwave & toaster allowed in assisted living rooms, but not memory rooms.

Met with Deanna Mandish (Director of Sales) on 4/10 at 3pm to tour facility. This facility is the farthest from home (near Leslie). Facility looks like a nice house rather than eldercare facility.

My mother has been a resident for approximately 3 years. Due to special dietary and health issues, she has her meals in her room. We constantly have to work with the staff to get her orders right and on time. However, on the plus side the caregivers (shower assist) and housekeeping staff are very nice. Mom calls them friends and there seems to be minimal turnover. Being "apartment bound" it is nice to have this friendly contact for her. We have gotten to know some of the residents as well, they all seem to be well cared for and most are friendly.

Liked facility, very bright, nice staff, nice rooms, good view of the city, no exercise equipment, a bit off the beaten path

Nice location good feeling

Very nice but no available rooms and she would benefit in alz dem side. But can get expensive.

Does have detached homes.

Beautiful grounds inside and out. Rooms very nice, clean and spacious. It was hard to gauge how my mother feels about a place since she likes every place she last sees the best. It is a little over expensive (the cheapest rooms--the studios--are too small to fit my Mom's desired furniture), and medication management costs are based on the number of medications (up to 6 at one price, $15 a day more for 7+). Transportation for medical appointments in presently only on one day a week at a set time, and only within a 10 mile radius.

Liked, very nice and homey but pricey as well.

This was my second favorite. The only thing that would cause me pause is the fact that it is located in Salinas. I'm not sure about the safety of Salinas and the attractiveness/feel of the area. The community itself is very nice and I had a very comfortable feeling about the community and the units themselves. Additionally, I think there were good options for apartments with nice views. I thought the newly renovated dining room and some common areas were very attactive. The other common areas are a bit dated, but the individual units themselves had a very good feeling about them. I liked the idea of more choices for meals and restaurant style dinning.

Both these facilities back onto a nature preserve, deer roam the grounds outside the fencing. Limited patio area. 1 bedroom was the most spacious I've seen so far, and a huge plus was bathroom door from Living room, another door from bedroom. Upshot here, when one is resting, one doesn't have to go thru bedroom to get to the bathroom -- hurray.

The director was really accessible and make the conversation feel personal and attentive. pets ok
