My brother and I searched over 8 places in the Sacramento area to find a place for our father. Our decision, Oakmont of Fair Oaks. We could not be any happier in his arrangements. From the moment we walked in my father felt welcomed. I felt welcomed when I went to visit him weekly. My father was exceptionally happy with Oakmont of Fair Oaks. The care staff were extremely helpful with our father. There were daily activities he could be involved with, there were bi-weekly performances brought in, "sing-song" as he called it. Bingo was his game and our family had to keep him in dimes so he could play. During the seasons, there were themed decorations that made him feel like he was home. Everywhere he turned there was assistance to keep him engaged and included. The dining facility was phenomenal in the variety of meals that were provided. It was never the same thing over and over. The chef, who made it a point to get to know his clients and my brother and I as guests, excelled in the meals and food preparation and presentation. It was not restaurant food, it was gourmet dining that truly made a different. And if our father chose to sleep in or took a nap and missed a meal, the dining facility was open all day for a snack. Our father had a standing breakfast order that the young servers all knew because of the relationships they formed with him and other clients. Our father spent his final days at Oakmont of Fair Oaks and he was very pleased. Each of the caregivers gave him the attention he needed. They also were extremely thoughtful to our family as we too were a part of the journey, staff or family it didn't matter. The level of compassion for his care and comfort made the final transition so easy.
