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.

I honestly cannot thank Oakmont of Whittier enough. My grandpa moved in not too long ago, and the change in him has been amazing. He used to be very quiet and mostly kept to himself, but this place has truly brought him out of his shell. The staff here is incredible. They are patient, caring, and treat every resident like family. They have gently encouraged him to join in on activities, and now he is actually excited to participate. He has been going to the morning exercise classes, art sessions, and even the wine and cheese socials. He loves the movie nights and scenic drives too, things we never imagined he would do again. The community is beautiful, spotless, and full of warmth. What really stands out is the energy here because everyone seems happy and engaged. Seeing my grandpa laughing, staying active, and making friends again means the world to our family. Oakmont of Whittier has truly given him a new spark, and for that we are forever grateful. 🥰
The community at Oakmont of Whittier is truly wonderful. I recently went in to visit a family member and was pleasantly surprised by how beautiful and welcoming it is. My aunt, who is an avid reader, absolutely loves participating in the book club and has really found her place here. She had a few particular requests when moving in, including bringing along her cat and the Oakmont team went above and beyond to accommodate her. The dining room is elegant and inviting, and we always enjoy a delicious lunch with my aunt here. On days when our whole family is able to visit, we sometimes go to the many restaurant options nearby, all within walking distance. Oakmont has given our aunt a comfortable, engaging environment where she’s happy and cared for and that brings us such peace of mind as a family.
My grandmother recently moved into Oakmont of Whittier, and we couldn’t be happier with the care and support she’s received. Before moving in, she had started to isolate and wasn’t taking care of herself the way she used to. She’s always been such a vibrant, independent woman, so it was difficult for our family and especially for her to come to terms with leaving her home of 43 years. From the very beginning, the Oakmont staff made the transition so much easier. Everyone was warm, patient, and incredibly welcoming. We immediately felt we had made the right decision in trusting them with her care. Now, just a short time later, she’s truly herself again. Social, smiling, and even “too busy” for us sometimes when we call! It’s wonderful to see her with new friends and always looking forward to activities and events. We are so grateful for Oakmont of Whittier for bringing her joy and confidence back. I highly recommend them to any family looking for a community that truly cares.
I am so happy I chose Oakmont of Whittier for my dad. He was recently diagnosed with dementia, and we were struggling to find the right community for him. He’s still very independent but beginning to experience some forgetfulness. Other places told us he needed to be in their secured memory care area right away, but Oakmont took the time to really understand his needs and personality. They were able to accommodate him on the assisted living side, allowing him to maintain his independence in a safe and supportive environment. What gave us the most peace of mind is knowing that when the time comes and his symptoms progress, he’ll be able to transition seamlessly into their memory care. The staff truly cares — not just about meeting his needs, but about honoring who he is as a person. We feel such relief and gratitude knowing he’s in a place where he’s respected, safe, and happy. - Danny
