I liked everything about Oakmont of San Jose. They were courteous and kind. We had lunch there, and I got to meet some of the residents there and talk to them, which I thought was wonderful. Some people have been there for four, five, or six years. It was just a very happy experience. I would recommend them highly. Their food was very tasty, very creative, and well served. They have a library, game rooms, exercises, and a lovely back area where they exercise outside. When you came in, it was very inviting with couches. It was just delightful. The staff was very caring. When I called them to tell them that my friend had fallen and was injured badly, they were so concerned and were caring enough to call me several times. I can't find a fault with them. They're just wonderful, wonderful people.

I had this really positive feeling about Oakmont of San Jose from the very beginning just by reading their brochure. I had spoken on the phone several times with one of their staff members named Debbie. She was very warm, very positive, and very easy to talk to. It kind of set the tone for me. All of my contacts with Oakmont of San Jose were very positive, very warm, very friendly and that continued during the actual physical visit. Walking in there, it didn't feel like a hotel. It felt like it was somebody's home. Then I met the nursing facilitator, Paula, and other staff members.
For each day, they have a menu for all three meals. We actually had lunch in the dining room. I liked the menu they had. The food was good. It was a nice mandarin chicken, Asian salad, and a dessert. It was interesting that there were residents that came over to the table to say hello. I had quite a conversation with one couple who lived there. The staff was friendly and open as well. I didn't feel any pressure at all. One of the chefs told us that they have pizza day on Thursdays and certain specialties on Fridays. You don't have to have that, but it's available. If you don't particularly care for what's being offered that day, they have an alternate menu.
We looked at 3 one-bedrooms that were all a little different. One of them was almost like a studio. The other one was a little bit bigger than that, and then the last one was kind of expanded. They only have 1 two-bedroom apartment. The bedroom itself and the living area had a feeling of space, and they were furnished. There was a lot of storage space and closet space, which I really liked. The bathroom was much better. It had sturdier gripper bars and had a built-in seat. It just seemed a little bit bigger, and that it wasn't crammed into a corner. The kitchen was nice. The only drawback was that the microwave was up high, and I'm a short person; hopefully it can be lowered a little bit. There was no balcony. I thought it would be nice to have that, but it's OK. That's a minor thing.
They had a room with various machines that you could use. I was particularly interested in their stretching and balancing activities. One of the things I really liked about the place was it's in a neighborhood. It's not like behind a mall or kind of sitting off by itself. It's in a pretty established neighborhood in San Jose. The grounds were not as large, but they're attractive. There was a large community patio. The dining room was on the third floor, so we were surrounded by treetops (which I thought was kind of interesting).

Oakmont of San Jose was really nice, very high end, and really expensive. Their food was really good, so I had lunch there. The staff were really nice. They seem to have all the activities, and they seem to be very accommodating with what you want to do. They were just way too expensive for our budget.

Oakmont of San Jose seemed very new, it's small, and there's not a lot of people that live there. I think there's only 75 people that live there. Everyone seemed to know each other, and overall we had a good impression of it. The outdoor space is not very big, a small courtyard, but very well kept. One person there seemed very nice, and we met the activities coordinator. He seemed enthusiastic and helpful. They had board games, they have a walking club. The day we were there, they were having a pamper day so residents could come in and have their nails done whenever they wanted during the day. I thought the rooms were surprisingly big, they looked very new, and I thought they were beautiful.

I love our concierge Toni I see her everyday before she leaves she's a lovely person makes my day seeing her at front desk she's genuinely a lovely person who is now my family friend we have great conversations. We as residents need more storage in the rooms, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Staff are wonderful cares for us and about us. I think the staff is the best of the best. We enjoyed before this happened the live musical entertainment. I think our dining room is gorgeous. I think people can look and look but won't find a place nicer then this.

I was unsure about senior living environments at first, but I saw all the great events and activities they have here. And it was a great load off of my children, while still remaining close to them. The food has made improvements in the past few months. The staff is very nice to me and my pets. They walk my dog three times a day and are always pleasant about it.

The community handled the COVID-19 pandemic really well. The management team and staff all very friendly. The food service is nutritious and suitable for seniors. The housekeeping and maintenance team is very responsive and works hard to solve any problems.

Oakmont of San Jose was just basically outstanding, primarily because it had a brand-new building. It was the best of the ones I've seen. I loved that 90% of the food prepared is fresh, and only 10 percent is pre-packaged, that was great for anyone on a special diet, and they kept the dining room open from 7 am to 7 pm. Everything was awesome, the facility was just 3 years old. The dining room was on the upper floor and it had huge picture windows all the way around. I also ate lunch there, and it was outstanding. They showed movies in a little movie theater twice a day, and there was a craft project going on in a room.

Oakmont of San Jose is a newer facility and it opened in October of last year. It was very nice and I really liked it. The people in the memory care unit seemed very well cared for. It's a beautiful facility, but it's a little near traffic, so you can hear some traffic noise. I really liked the director and it seemed like a nice place.

Oakmont of San Jose was wonderful. The rooms were beautiful. They had more amenities and activities than you can imagine like a cafeteria, games, and socialization. They were finishing up a snack like a brownie that they had baked. I loved the community, but it was out of our price range.

Oakmont of San Jose has friendly staff, is beautiful, and has good food. They put my mom in assisted living, but she should be in the memory unit, so they're moving her this week. The rooms are beautiful, clean, and spacious; I wouldn't mind living in one. The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. They have a little dog area, so I bring my dog to visit my mom; she loves that. It's pricey, but they're very caring and I really appreciate that.

Oakmont of San Jose was very nice. Actually it was the nicest place, and I like it the most. I liked the common areas a lot. The apartments were a bit on the smaller side and dark, but the common areas were very nice. Everybody was very nice; they had a good staff. The nicer apartments were very expensive, and the affordable ones were dark and small.

Oakmont was brand new and nice. The only reason why we didn’t pick this one was because of its location. The staff was very accommodating and showed us around. The rooms were really nice. There wasn’t much going on when we were there because they had just opened. It was really nice, but the location was in a high traffic area. I will recommend it because the lady who helped us was so nice. If it had been located somewhere else, we would have put my mom in there.
