During Covid it has been a rough go of it, but we were still able to have access to him once he reached Hospice of course with the necessary precautions. My Dad was able to pass in his home/apt with visits from everyone who wanted to say good bye. Priceless. Thank you Oakmont. Ken T.

And as I age, I can't imagine wanting to be anywhere other than Oakmont. My mother lived 3 years at Oakmont, 2020 to 2023 and I was there almost everyday and all I saw was professionalism and care. In fact, as my mother was dying, a caregiver opted to sit with me rather than go on her break. That's compassion!

On an January visit to learn, Walnut Village felt like a top-tier hotel or cruise ship. This was…read moredriven home by the beautiful plants and the finishes in the restrooms by the lobby as we prepared to leave. It was like a Four Seasons throughout and not like a facility for seniors. Touring Walnut Village with Anita, the units were more spacious and more homelike than expected, especially in the bathrooms and kitchen with excellent attention to quality. The fixtures in the hallways were nicely upscale as well; again, the finishes in a seemingly unimportant place were top quality. The Red Chair Lounge looks like a great place to stay engaged; having a drink and socializing before dinner in a quite elegant dining room. The food in the Bistro was excellent and, obviously, residents enjoy and comment on it. One of the issues in any community living situation is that menus get too routine. The staff works hard at variety which shows with the length of the menus and, again, the quality. Probably most important, was the feeling projected by the residents. Residents through out the tour were very engaging with a number stopping to say hello. One answered a question about walking in the surrounding area as a number of residents go out regularly - often walking over to Disneyland. Checking Medicare.gov, Walnut Village ranks very high for its skilled nursing facilities. Many looking for senior housing only think about today but all the levels of service at Walnut Village not only look good but work well. Finally, on a cost side, Walnut Village is an entrance-fee CCRC with monthly fees providing independent and assisted living in the units and an attractive skilled nursing unit on site. That means no leaving friends behind if a medical event arises. Comparing the cost of Walnut Village to other good CCRC facilities in Orange County, it has the lowest entrance fee for comparable size units, provides the largest refund of entrance fees upon leaving with monthly cost comparable or lower than competitive CCRCs. Bottom line, we both were pleasantly surprised by what we saw versus our expectation arriving. We knew it would be a newer facility but could not anticipate the vibe inside. Lots of food for thought.

On my very first day of crazy and frustrating searching online and calling assisted living…read morefacilities for my dad, Bob answered my call. I just wish newbies on this process, like me, would find Bob right away. Bob is genuinely kind, caring, and was so helpful conveying all the pertinent information regarding the elderly care business including contacts for placement agents! He didn't have to answer my call especially while he was driving but he did. He didn't have to volunteer any extra and tremendously helpful information but he did. He didn't have to spend 26 minutes on the phone with me patiently explaining information but he did! After that call, I felt like I talked to an angel; I felt so blessed! I didn't meet Bob (yet) but I know in my heart, I could trust him with elderly care for my loved ones. A million thanks Bob!

I frequent a lot of board and care homes for patient visits but this is by far the nicest one I've…read morebeen to. The house is located in a quiet neighbor. The house and interior seems newly renovated and well maintained. It is aesthetically pleasing with modern colors and decor. The rooms are personalized with each residents personal photos and memorabilia to make it their "home." What makes this place so wonderful is the caring/loving owner, manager and staff. Ruth the owner is very down to earth and has a very hands on approach involving resident care and safety. Most owners of these board and cares don't visit the place and just have someone manage it. Ruth is not so, I see her frequently at the house bringing goodies in for residents, checking in to ensure her staff are ok and any concerns are addressed. I work mostly with Kim (manager), Theresa and Courtney (care staff). Kim is sweet, caring, involved with patient care and safety and always there to support her staff. Despite of crazy days and chaos she encounters, she never brings it to work and always has a smile on her face. She goes above and beyond to ensure her residents are not just clients but family. She truly cares for her residents and that is the heart of this field. Theresa is always so gentle and patient with my little lady there. Courtney is fairly new to the house but she is also very sweet and friendly with the residents. This place has a lot of different activities to keep their residents entertained, minds active and improve quality of life. If you are looking for a place for your loved one and budget allows, I would highly recommend this place.

Every person, be they doctors, nurses, staff, aids, food service, cleaning, etc., I came in contact with was courteous and professional. There was one area that was disappointing. The food. Everything tasted as if came packaged. Nothing tasted fresh. After two full days of laying in my bed, I was taken to the physical rehab area, The therapists showed much compassion as they were working with people that had severely compromised health conditions. One of the therapists asked me, "Why are you here?". My condition did not require me being placed in such a high need facility. I arrived on Tuesday afternoon. I checked myself out on Friday afternoon.

I hate to just say "We're full - thanks for calling" because I know what finding a trusted place for your loved one is like. The least I can do is forward her contact information to people. We only work with local agents that personally have visited and know our facility. I refuse to work with certain larger companies that have no idea who we are, and what kind of care we provide at our facility! Suad toured our facility long before her first referral to us. I can say that she handled everything personally and professionally in her dealings with the resident's family, and with our facility. She followed up with all parties and treated everyone with fairness, patience and respect. While many of our clients call us directly, it can be a great asset to have someone who has toured and knows these facilities - especially these days with Covid-19 restrictions - many facilities are not accepting people and not touring. I haven't named our facility as I'm not looking to self promote - but feel free to contact me on yelp if you have any questions about Doctors Choice, Placement agents in general, or senior care facilities - Best of luck to you in this search!
