Frequently Asked Questions
Considering Oakmont Senior Communities as a new home for yourself or a family member is an exciting step, but it can also raise many questions. Whether you’re exploring independent senior living for the first time or comparing options between independent community living and supportive lifestyles, we’re here to provide clarity. This page answers common questions about our approach, our services, and what everyday life is like in our independent living communities.
Starting Your Journey
What is Independent Living?
Independent senior living is designed for individuals who are active and self-sufficient but want to enjoy a more connected and carefree lifestyle. At Oakmont, this means private apartments, chef-inspired meals, engaging activities, and the freedom to enjoy life without the stress of homeownership.
What is Independent Living with Services?
Independent living with services combines the ease of an independent lifestyle with access to light support and on-site third-party health providers. This option is perfect for residents who are mostly independent but appreciate extra peace of mind.
How Do I Know Which Lifestyle is Right for Me?
Choosing between independent community living and independent living with services depends on your current needs and preferences. If you’re thriving on your own and looking for social opportunities, independent living may be ideal. If you’d like light assistance with tasks such as medication reminders or housekeeping, independent living with services may provide the reassurance you need.
