Tender loving care
My husband was a resident in memory care/hospice care for 1 month + 1 day. He received loving care in this spotlessly clean facility. The gardens are lovely, the public areas are beautifully appointed, and the residents’ apartments are roomy and modern. Staff, administration and caregivers, is exceptional. They couldn’t have been more attentive to my husband and our family.

My father joined the Oakmont of Novato community almost 1 year ago. Placing your loved one in memory care is not easy on so many levels. I had looked at many facilities across two states. I honestly knew Oakmont Novato was the place from my initial visit. Almost one year later, I can say I made the absolute best decision for my dad. The staff at Oakmont is their secret weapon. Always welcoming, encouraging and giving their best to the residents. The hospitality starts at the front door and continues throughout the entire place. Every single day. True professionals. The second reason I chose Oakmont was for the ambiance. It truly feels welcoming. The memory care unit (Traditions) continues the bright, beautiful design throughout the apartments, hallways and living rooms which I am convinced is good medicine. You can visit your family outdoors in the manicured courtyards or next to a fireplace in colder weather with a cup of coffee. It all just feels good. My biggest surprise over the last year was watching the care and respect they pour into the Traditions residents with the multitude of unique activities and parties. They literally spread joy daily and I am just blown away by them. You are spreading joy to residents that need it most. Thank you Oakmont Novato for the culture you have established and share with your residents and us families. Well done.

I attended a lunch and learn tour at the Novato location. The facility is clean, bright, and well managed. I’m impressed with the quality of food, layout of the rooms, responsiveness of the staff, and dedication to best care practices in the memory care industry.

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.

VerifiedThank 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 accommodations and support as she recovered from a mental health emergency. With support from Oakmont, she has made a miraculous recovery and is moving from the Traditions side to the Assisted Living side this week. The whole team has been incredibly gracious during this challenging time and is actively supporting my mom navigate losing her husband to Alzheimers while also trying to rehabilitate herself. The facility is beautiful and while there is nothing fun about witnessing parent

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.

My grandma has been at Oakmont for a few years now and really has made it her home. Tracy and Ruth at the front desk are always so sweet and willing to help, Ann and Philip the bus driver are wonderful, and there are many others- I used to work at an assisted living facility and the people who work at Oakmont in Novato truly care and always seem to try their best to make their residents happy. On top of that my grandmother has made some great friends there so I have even more ladies to say hi to every time I visit with my son!

We can’t say enough about Oakmont Novato. I would recommend it to anyone who wants their loved one cared for in beautiful surroundings with truly exceptional support. We felt completely surrounded by angels who made sure my Mom felt loved every step of the way. Scott was compassionate, attentive, and genuinely caring—we truly felt she was welcomed and had a home there, and they delivered on that promise and more. We especially want to acknowledge Mildred, who cared for our Mother as if she were her own. She even attended my Mom’s funeral service, and we made sure she sat with our family because that’s exactly what she became to us. The food is restaurant quality, with menus presented in leather-bound books, and the ambiance throughout the community is amazing. Without hesitation, I would recommend this wonderful place to anyone.

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.

Mostly people needing assistance. Not much in activities for physical fitness. Food is not good at all and management doesn't seem to care. Not much socially as well.

Navigating the world of assisted living is a very difficult experience. Working with Liza has made taking the next steps in my mom's life more comfortable. Liza really listened to our concerns and took the time to carefully help us through the process. We were so very grateful to have Liza in our corner so knowledgeable and empathetic. She has been incredible to work with and when I email or call her she always gets right back to us. Thank you Liza for going above & beyond to help us and we appreciate how much you truly care.

Our experience at Oakmont of Novato
My mother was previously a resident at Oakmont of Novato in the Memory Care unit. Her experience at this facility was very bad. They are understaffed at this facility and the staff that they do have are inexperienced. I (and several other families) had to remove and relocate our loved ones that were living at Oakmont of Novato. I would not recommend this facility at the present. They have many issues to work out. The facility is clean and the meals were good. However, the Memory Care unit is very short staffed and the Executive team is always in transition. In the six months that my mother was a resident, we had almost four different GM's.

First of all, I want to thank Liza for making what we thought was going to be a terrifying experience a positive, and dare I say happy experience in a new chapter for mom. She showed amazing passion, expertise, and compassion in her guidance as she helped us chose the best plan our mom. The facility is beautiful and has amazing amenities but Liza was the deciding factor! Thank you!

VerifiedAn expensive mistake
This facility may be new and beautiful, but it is deeply troubled stemming from a lack of leadership, frequent management turn-over, a lack of staff training and temporary staff that hasn't been fully vetted. Fall monitors were not functional, nor were the emergency pendants until 10 months after the facility opened. As of this date - [date removed], the state has sited their memory care unit with 12 type A citations, which are the most serious, and 19 type B citations. Now they are applying for a new license, which will remove all prior citations, and consumers won't see a 3 year history of all citations unless they officially request a report from the CDSS (California Department of Social Services) My family was afraid for my mother's safety every single day she was there.
