Oakmont of Whittier is a new, fancy senior living community that offers assisted living and memory care. The website highlights its luxurious amenities, beautiful grounds, personalized care from trained staff, tasty dining options, spacious apartments, and fun activities for residents. They emphasize a vibrant, supportive environment focused on independence, wellness, and happiness.

Some reviews are very positive. One person loves how the inside and courtyard look and thinks her grandma will enjoy living there. She appreciates the friendly tour guide and plans to visit regularly. Another reviewer appreciates the new, attractive facility, easy parking, friendly staff, and convenient location near shops and restaurants. They say the care team is respectful and that the waiting list is long, which shows demand for the community.

However, there are serious concerns raised by other reviews. One review warns about poor care for a family member in the memory care unit, mentioning that the care was terrible and there were billing issues. Another reviewer describes management as horrible and accuses staff of stealing residents' belongings. They also complain that cameras aren't allowed, making it hard to know what’s really happening, and say that the staff can’t give clear explanations about incidents. This review also claims that many positive reviews might be fake or influenced by friends or management, especially since one negative review was taken down.

A brief, positive comment mentions quick responses to questions, but overall, the reviews show a mixed picture. While Oakmont offers luxurious living and friendly staff according to some, concerns about the quality of care, honesty, and management’s integrity are also evident. Prospective families should carefully investigate and consider these different perspectives before making a decision.
