We are very interested in Oakmont of Montecito. We saw assisted living and memory care and they were both excellent. I liked the facility. The staff was excellent. The activity was excellent. The upkeep or housekeeping was beautiful. Everything was beautiful. The landscaping was beautiful. They had activities going on all day, every day. They have root beer floats, poker, cards, games, movies, water aerobics, ice cream socials, walks, and beach volleyball. They have piano music. They have a barbershop and a beauty salon, and they have transport services. They have everything.

Oakmont of Montecito is a large, clean unit, it offers lots of assistance, and the food is better than average. I've been eating my dinners over there. It looks minimal. There's an interior courtyard where they're refinishing the pool, but I haven't been out in that area. They offer lots of activities. My wife is on fairly high care and they satisfy all of her basic requirements. The only difficulty we have is language, somewhat, and the mask can make that worse. She's in their assisted living and we're paying $4700 a month. These are such big numbers because there are so many services that come with it. I guess it's good because I was lucky we got one of the larger units. The place is beautiful, clean, looks new, and very well-maintained. The staff is excellent too.

I'm going to move into a studio at Oakmont of Montecito. It's very spacious and very, very nice. I like it. The staff is excellent and helpful. They would come to my house if I couldn't get there to do paperwork and to bring things. I've had two tours. We're starting to move a few things over. Everyone there is very, very nice and very helpful. They have so many activities: they have bingo, they play cards, and they have floral-arranging classes. Every day there are activities going on. They have a library and a PT room where you can go and work out. They have so much; you could do a lot there, and they have a movie theater. They have a courtyard with umbrella tables, a swimming pool and beautiful outside amenities. It will be nice for people to go around and sit under the tables and meet people. Everyone seemed friendly there.

After mom broke her hip we needed to find a facility for mom. From my first visit I knew this would be perfect for mom. We secured a one bedroom apartment, which includes a small kitchen, living room and a balcony to sit outside. We brought in moms furniture for home and did a mirror image of her living room and bedroom. From day one mom loved her apt. Montecito did a great job of keeping apartment clean up to moms standards and did her laundry once a week also. When ever my bother or I would show up unannounced mom was always dressed in clean clothes and looked happy and clean. Just that being said is a a lot to be thankful for me living 130 miles away it was always on my mind I wonder how mom is, and in the three years she lived there I never had second thoughts about her well being. I spent many nights with mom sleeping on a sofa bed. Like clock work care givers would come in to check on her. I seen and heard it many times care givers calling mom “mom”. My mother was truly pampered by caregivers and staff. As for the food, very good and a good selection you can choose from a menu. I have many fond memories of mom and I having dinner together and finishing with dessert and coffee. Montecito has many activities to keep residences busy and happy. Mom and I attended ballet in Walnut Creek, we all took the Montecito bus it was a wonderful event. We enjoyed many holiday dinners and festivities together I have many precious memories of our mother and our family together at Montecito. I truly could go on and on about Montecito. When I would take mom to her doctor appointments she would always say when we would pull into Montecito “ I’m Home” made me feel good to know our choice of a place for mom was the right one. Mom would still be here but god had other plans for her. She is still happy and dancing with dad and Jesus .

I visited Oakmont of Montecito. It's nice, but the reason we didn't go for them was that they don't speak Chinese, and my mom can't speak English very well. I checked the rooms and they were clean. There was nothing wrong with the place. The staff was friendly. The food looked looked interesting.

Montecito is fantastic, and it was really the most elegant one, with fountains and everything. It was also the most expensive. Everything was OK, and the rooms were fine. The staff who accommodated us was good and attentive. Based on everything that I have gathered and all the other places I have seen, they're over-priced. The people that I have interacted with were friendly and nice.

The people at Montecito were very nice, but the décor was a bit dated. The place was gigantic and felt a little dirty. They had a pool with a lift for people who could not go down, which I thought was nice. They had a workout room, a restaurant, a café, a social hall, and a game room.

Montecito is excellent, I definitely loved it, and it was great. It was clean, the staff was friendly and eager to help, and it looked like it had a lot of amenities for the residents. However, it was very expensive.

I really liked Montecito. I went there on a whim. It was nice and clean, and everyone was pleasant. We had lunch, and the food was good. I liked the pool that they had and everything just seemed like it would fit my needs. The staff was very nice.

Montecito Oakmont was not attainable for me since the cost was too high. I liked the whole environment because it seemed very comfortable. I was very impressed. The staff was very nice, friendly and helpful. I liked the layout and the open areas where you could mingle with people.

We were very interested in Montecito Oakmont. There was nothing we did not like about the place. They had very comprehensive and genuine care, a very up-to-date facility, a great deal of scheduled activities, and a lot of amenities. The living quarters and dining room were beautiful. It is a very large place with very long hallways. It was laid out really well. It looked more like a hotel resort with its center courtyard, pool, and jacuzzi than a typical senior living facility.

My mom was at Montecito Oakmont. The residents were extremely happy, energized, and well taken care of. The staff was very positive and very friendly, and the wait staff was excellent. A five star rating applies to everything there, except maybe for the price. We paid quite a bit more for it; probably twice as much as what we’re paying here in Texas.

I am in Oakmont at Montecito (Montecito Oakmont Senior Living). I like that everything is done for me. I have a beautiful 2-bedroom apartment with an outdoor patio. I have 3 meals a day here. We have a dining room where I can meet other people. There is a very social atmosphere here. We are having a pianist that will come at 3 o'clock today to play the piano for an hour for the community. It is very nice that we always have some kind of a musical concert once a week. Everyday, we have card games, bingo, or scrabble. Everyday there are activities for the residents here. We have a bus that takes us to doctor's appointments and grocery shopping. They do my laundry. The staff is wonderful. I consider everybody here family. All of the girls that help me treat me like I am their mother. They love me here. I highly recommend it. The food is excellent. We have a 5 star chef in our dining room. We are very secure. We have gates all around the facility. We are on lock down after 9:30 at night, and nobody can come in unless you live here, and then you have to go to the front desk. It is safe here. I live with my little dog in the apartment. I have lived here for 2 months, and we haven't had any problems so far. We have a heated swimming pool, a hot tub, a Jacuzzi, and a walk-in bathtub. We have a nurse on staff here.

Oakmont is congenial and it has wonderful assistance. My husband and I are in the assisted living, so we do have some amenities that they don't have in independent living. They also have something they call Tradition, which is almost separate. It has every level of care you want.

Mom lived in Oakmont, but she passed away last week. We're very, very happy with Montecito. One of her friends was already living there. They're very, very cordial, very caring, and got to know the residents. We chose the facility because of the proximity to where we lived. It's beautiful, has wonderful food and caring staff, and is just top-notch all around, we felt. They offered different kinds of rooms, from independent to assisted to memory care, so we liked the fact that there were options. She could move as she needed, which she did wind up doing. We thought the rooms were lovely -- simple, but big enough. We only have good things to say.

I live in Montecito, and it's really nice here. It's a living community, and you may go with assisted living for quite a few more dollars. I don't like it here. The main reason is it is so far away from my family and friends. I was in San Francisco for the last 35 years, and people don't want to drive this far to see me. It seems that when I was in the city, I had constant people coming, and here, I'm very lonely. It's my only complaint because the people here are very nice. The grounds are beautiful, they keep them up, and I've made some friends. It's a 1-bedroom, and it has a little kitchen and one little bathroom. It has a fair-sized bedroom and a fair-sized living room. It's clean and it's OK. The food is fair, but I am a gourmet cook, so I can't appreciate it like other people do. I know that they work hard, and they do have a varied menu. They have something going on all the time: cards, other games, movies. They have a bus and a person who will take you some places once in a while.
