Oakmont of Novato

They will drive residents to stores in Novato, and to doctors as far as North San Rafael (Where Kaiser is). Very flexible and helpful. Staff is friendly. Place is very clean, and they keep each apartment clean as well.

Thank goodness for Oakmont of Novato

Oakmont of Novato has been a godsend for me and my family this past year when I urgently needed to place both my dad and my mom into a secure facility. My dad, who has Alzheimers, was welcomed warmly into the Traditions facility and has made many friends. Despite his ongoing decline, he is well taken care of and thrives doing the activities, especially with Dean, the amazing Engagement Coordinator. My mom's situation was much more complicated and the whole team at Oakmont worked with me to navigate her accommodati

Dear Sandee, Thank you for sharing such a deeply personal experience. We know how urgent and emotional that time was, and it means so much to hear that you and your family felt supported every step of the way. It’s especially meaningful to know your dad has found connection and engagement, and that your mom has been supported through such a significant recovery and transition. Moments like these truly matter. Dean and the entire team will appreciate your kind words. Providing compassionate, thoughtful care during life’s most challenging times is something we care a lot about. Thank you again for your trust and for allowing us to be part of your parents’ journey.

Great place to live

Have lived here several months and the experience is superior. The staff is dedicated, the food is diverse, tasty and more than sufficient. The activity programs are extensive and interesting. Trips are frequent and to interesting points of interest. I would recommend the experience to all who are seeking a superior long- term senior living facility.

He truly feels at home now

My father, [name removed] has been in Oakmont Memory Care for 2 1/2 months. They nurtured him and guided him through a difficult transition he had. Now he has adjusted, adapted, is very happy, and he loves all the activities and interactions he has with the staff and residents. I am comforted, in knowing my father is in a good place where he can thrive and be happy. Thank you Oakmont for the wonderful care. He truly feels at home now.

Good fit

Thought the tours and general interaction with the staff was professional yet personable. The room sizes are very nice there. My loved ones opted for a 2 bedroom apartment and it is perfect for their needs.
