Oakmont of Whittier is an assisted-living community equipped to manage a wide range of health needs. The care team can support residents who wander at any time of day, present elopement or combative behaviors, stay up throughout the night, have chronic wounds, require oxygen, follow special diets, are under 60, and manage diabetes with oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Staff members have experience with advanced dementia conditions and adjust care plans accordingly.
Registered and licensed nurses are on site, background-checked caregivers remain awake overnight, and the building is secured 24 hours a day with door alarms, fenced outdoor areas, and personal emergency response systems that alert staff. A visiting podiatrist provides on-site foot care. Oakmont offers full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer support ranges from standby help for walker users to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for bed-bound residents.
Private and semi-private suites are available, and some include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate the space. Because layouts vary, not every unit includes every feature.
Meals are prepared to order, and snacks are available throughout the day. The kitchen accommodates physician-ordered diets, texture modifications, and detailed diabetic meal plans so residents can maintain stable blood-sugar levels.
The community offers resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and on-site religious services. Scheduled transportation is available, and public transit is nearby. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
