Why Families Choose Oakmont of Simi Valley

Spacious Residences with Architectural Character

Oakmont of Simi Valley offers some of the largest private apartments in the region, designed with natural light, high ceilings, and elegant details uncommon in typical assisted living layouts.

Chef-Led Restaurant Dining

Meals are prepared by an in-house culinary team trained in fine-dining standards, turning every lunch or dinner into a restaurant-style experience rather than a cafeteria service.

Seven-Pillar Life Enrichment Program

Activities follow Oakmont’s proprietary model — Think, Do, Create, Learn, Socialize, Experience, and Connect — ensuring residents engage both mentally and physically every day.

Resort-Level Amenities

The community includes a private movie theater, fitness center, day spa, salon, and landscaped walking paths, blending hospitality-grade amenities with personalized senior care.

It’s not often that an assisted living community resembles a Mediterranean villa, but Oakmont of Simi Valley doesn’t hide its architectural confidence. Tiled roofs, stone details, and sunlight in every corridor give it a look that belongs in the hills of Southern California, not a clinical facility. This is deliberate — the design itself is part of its philosophy: comfort without compromise, familiarity without confinement.

Where Space Shapes Care

The rooms here are not just practical; they are designed with proportion in mind. Wide windows, private balconies, and walk-in bathrooms give residents something most senior facilities overlook — autonomy through design. According to Oakmont’s management, many residents choose to bring their own furniture and art, turning apartments into small, recognizable homes. That freedom to personalize one’s space, paired with a low-key sense of privacy, shapes the daily rhythm more than any schedule ever could.

It’s this physical openness that quietly influences how care feels here. Staff can move freely between rooms and shared spaces without interrupting daily life. Family members visiting notice a natural flow: meals transition into social gatherings, exercise classes merge with casual conversation, and no one ever seems hurried.

Inside each residence:

• Private or companion suites with emergency call systems.

• Kitchenettes, accessible bathrooms, and climate control.

• Options for memory care apartments with additional safety features.

The Culinary Factor

Oakmont’s kitchen doesn’t operate like a standard facility dining hall. Meals come from a team trained in restaurant kitchens, and residents order from a rotating seasonal menu. There are familiar dishes — soups, grilled fish, fresh vegetables — but the process feels intentional. Meals are plated individually, served on real china, and tailored to accommodate diabetic, low-sodium, or other special dietary needs.

For many, the restaurant-style service is more than convenience; it restores a sense of choice. Sharing a meal in a full dining room feels like part of a normal day rather than a chore on a schedule.

Dining features residents often mention:

• Three chef-prepared meals daily with made-to-order options.

• Flexible seating and extended hours to match personal routines.

• Nutrition plans reviewed for medical conditions.

Connection Through Structure

Oakmont’s activity program follows what the company calls a “seven-pillar model”: Think, Do, Create, Learn, Socialize, Experience, and Connect. It might sound like marketing, but in practice, it’s a structured approach that ensures variety — from morning tai chi to afternoon discussion groups or painting classes. The emphasis is on participation, not performance.

Residents often describe it as “a way to stay curious.” Each day includes physical, cognitive, and social activities, but the real success of the program lies in its flexibility. One resident might spend the morning gardening and the afternoon in a book club, while another may choose film screenings or music sessions in the community theater.

Medical Help, Brought Home

Health concerns rarely follow a timetable, and Oakmont’s care model anticipates that. Instead of sending residents to urgent care for minor issues, doctors and nurse practitioners can visit directly in-room. Local mobile medical providers handle consultations, blood draws, and diagnostic checks on site. Specialists such as physical therapists and podiatrists also provide scheduled visits.

This option — simple but effective — reduces stress and limits unnecessary hospital exposure while ensuring continuous monitoring. It’s a bridge between home comfort and clinical reliability.

A Setting That Feels Intentional

Walk through the courtyard on a weekday afternoon, and you’ll see small groups gathered around the patio tables. One group might be playing cards; another could be reviewing travel photos on a shared tablet. In the background, a fitness instructor leads a stretching class under a shaded pergola. There’s structure here, but not rigidity — the kind of balance that happens when a facility is built around human rhythm, not administrative routine.

Community amenities include:

• A movie theater, day spa, fitness center, and beauty salon.

• Landscaped walking paths with outdoor seating.

• Library, art studio, and multipurpose activity rooms.

Oakmont of Simi Valley doesn’t try to reinvent senior living with slogans. Instead, it refines it — by giving space, choice, and calm to the people who live there. It’s this combination of design and dignity that quietly makes it one of the most thoughtful assisted living communities in Ventura County.
