Oakmont Parkway Senior Community

I recently moved into Oakmont Parkway, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision to downsize. From the moment I toured this community, I knew it was the right place. Deanna, the Executive Director, truly set Oakmont Parkway apart from the other local communities I toured. She is so kind, and truly treats the residents like they are her own grandparents. Her positive and welcoming leadership definitely trickles down to the rest of staff and is felt throughout the community. Additionally, Dorothy has been a standout for me personally (the entire staff is amazing though); always checking in with me and ensuring that my transition to community life is going smoothly. She is always around to lend a helping hand, guide me in the right direction when I get turned around, and share pleasant conversations. I am so grateful for the level of care and support provided — plus the food is AMAZING! I was most worried about not fitting in, or the community feeling too clinical, but I am so happy to share that it truly feels like home at Oakmont Parkway.

Moving a loved one into a senior community can be a daunting process, but the team at Oakmont Parkway made it absolutely seamless. From day one, the staff went above and beyond to ensure a smooth transition, providing not only top-notch attention to detail but also a warm and welcoming environment. The director, Deanna, remains incredibly hands-on, answering all of our questions and addressing every concern with patience and compassion. The entire staff is kind, attentive, and truly dedicated to making residents feel at home. It’s clear that they treat everyone like family, and that level of attention is priceless. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to move my Grandma into this community, and we’re forever grateful to Oakmont Parkway for making this transition so positive. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and professional senior community!

My mother has had a wonderful experience living at Parkway. Deanna held our hands through the entire process making it smooth and simple. The housekeeping is wonderful and the dinning room experience is 5 star. They try very hard to entertain and keep all residents happy. Everyone is kind and helpful. I highly recommend the parkway experience.

It has taken me longer than I should admit to write this review, but those of us who are caregivers, often get a break in our day. You see my current journey isn't an easy one, my mother has reached a point of full time care. Our last 4 years has been spent looking for apartments and independent living for her, to solutions offering a little assistance, to nursing and pallative care. Life moves at the speed of light. I've personally evaluated, researched, visited in person, many facilities in Macomb and Oakland County on my journey with mom. From end to end, city to city. Although no place, if you asked my heart, could ever care for mom the way that I could, or provide a warm home like my home... I dare say this place would give me the biggest competition. In elder care, assisted living, and even senior independent living situations.. there are places who "get it", and places who don't to the point of negligence. This place operates like a five star resort, with care and the attention to detail. Not only is the building and communal areas warm and inviting like visiting grandma's living room, but the residents are a glow and thriving. No matter their needs from independent to emhanced, they are all happy, active to their individual abilities and a glow. If my mother's health situation allowed, hands down, I'd find a way to make this facility work for her. Unfortunately in our situation, we are no longer at that point. Ive visited this place multiple times to tour, and for events. The staff although only meeting me on a few occasions, know me by name. Am I that memorable? Hmm.. maybe.. or are they so immersed into the lives of their residents that they treat them like family. This isn't the place with the high turn over in staff, filled with a rotating door, and people who are not passionate about their work. Its the opposite. From those serving food, those interacting with guests and running activities, to the administration, and managers, everyone genuinely wants to be there, cares about each and every resident, and watches over their needs and safety like an immediate family member. The building is modern, updated, clean, and so are the quarters for residents. The cummunal areas always have things going on. Classes, crafts, events, small groups, socialization. The food is fun, exciting, with menu itens of home cooked favorites. I've personally sampled it. The place feels like its own little indoor city, with library, music, happenings, that you don't have many needs for anything outside of it. They have nice sitting areas, and lobby areas, nice spots outside to get fresh air, while feeling safe and monitored where you would want an extra set of eyes. I feel safe there, mom feels safe there. I feel I wouldnt need to hover or worry. They really take pride in what they do. I understand getting older is hard, and needinh to explore living situations outside of the home while still offering a sense of independence cal be a challenging balancing act. I also know it can cost a little more than you might have thought... but I will tell you, if you are looking for a place in this area, looking for a place where you can feel comforted knowing it is safe and the staff is attentive and caring, looking for a place that has nice accommodations, that has services and activities.. look no further. This place is best in class from my experiences in Macomb and Oakland County. I hold all places to the bar Oakmont has set. Im also thankful for their comnunuty outreach. They constantly hold events open to the public so you can see first hand what they have to offer, and to engage seniors to show them what senior living and the journey is about. I was not paid to write this, or compensated, or encouraged. I wrote this to let those in my community know if they are looking for options, this is one of the places that gets it right. I've toured and researched, probably 30 different places. This is a stand out, hands down. I suggest seeing for yourself and taking a tour or attending an event.

My husband has enjoyed living at Oakmont Parkway for 3 months. The welcoming staff and residents made it quickly feel like home! The quality and variety of menu items exceeds the finest of restaurants. Serving healthy food and maintaining a clean, neat, and attractive environment is high priority. I still can't believe housekeeping comes to his spacious apartment every day to make his bed and keep it clean and tidy. Thank you, Oakmont Parkway 😍
