Oakmont of Montecito offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, including support for residents with advanced dementia and for adults under 60 who need a higher level of daily medical oversight. Licensed nurses are on-site around the clock to manage medications, monitor diabetics on oral medications, coordinate hospice services when needed, and oversee rehabilitation programs delivered by occupational and physical therapists. Residents who require full assistance with bathing, dressing, or toileting—or partial help with meals—receive that help from trained caregivers proficient in walker, wheelchair, standby, one-person, and two-person transfers. A visiting podiatrist, dentist, and massage therapist supplement on-site nursing to keep routine and specialized health needs in one location.
Additional safeguards include an awake night staff, door alarms, fenced front and rear grounds, pull-cord systems, and personal emergency response devices that connect directly to clinical staff. Background-checked caregivers work under the direction of an RN or LPN, and an activity director coordinates programs designed for cognitive retention and social engagement. Incontinence and ambulatory care are available, and residents in the Independent Living wing can elect medication management monitoring for added peace of mind without moving to a higher level of care.
Apartments are offered in several layouts, some with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, or furnished packages; not every unit contains every feature, so it is best to verify availability when touring. Residents may decorate or repaint their rooms to create a familiar environment, and cable connections are available for those who wish to arrange personal service.
Meals are served three times daily with a set menu and an option to order from an alternate list at each sitting. Snacks are stocked throughout the day, and the culinary team can accommodate physician-ordered diet modifications. Independent Living residents can add housekeeping and personal laundry services to their monthly plan, and staff will perform routine safety checks while still respecting each resident’s privacy.
The community includes resident parking, wheelchair-accessible paths, a barber and beauty salon, exercise and wellness rooms, a movie theater, library, computer center, bingo room, ballroom, bar, sauna, and a pool. Outdoor areas feature communal gardens and designated smoking spaces. Scheduled transportation, proximity to public transit, on-site religious services, and hospice care support add further convenience. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
