Oakmont of Redwood City delivers three levels of care—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and a secured Memory Care program—supported by a clinical team that can address a wide range of medical needs. Residents who wander day or night, present elopement risks, or stay up throughout the night are supervised by staff trained for these behaviors. Nurses manage wound care, administer oxygen, and monitor special diets. Diabetic residents receive oversight whether they are on oral medications, insulin injections, or a sliding-scale regimen, and the community accepts individuals with advanced dementia conditions.
The building is staffed with RNs/LPNs, an awake night shift, and a 24-hour nurse on call. Background-checked caregivers use pull cords, PERS pendants, and Wander Guard technology to summon help quickly, while on-site security remains in place around the clock. Residents have access to podiatry services and a therapy room without leaving the property. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and the staff can handle all transfer levels—from simple walker support to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for those who are bed-bound.
Accommodations range from studios to larger apartments; some include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and cable service, though not every unit has every feature. Meals are prepared to order, with snacks available throughout the day, and a private dining room can host family gatherings. Dietary modifications such as mechanical-chopped, puréed, thickened-liquid, vegetarian, and other physician-prescribed plans are managed by the culinary team. Independent Living residents can opt for medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry, and a monthly meal plan.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, a movie room, a wellness center, internet connectivity, and landscaped communal gardens. Scheduled transportation and proximity to public transit make appointments and outings straightforward. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
