Oakmont Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation, now permanently closed, used to be an 85-bed nursing and rehabilitation center for older adults, set up as a corporation under the legal name Oakmont Care, LLC. The center opened its business file in March 2016 and started operations in March 2014. It took care of short-term rehab patients who needed extra time to recover after hospital stays, plus older adults needing skilled nursing, intermediate care, and help with daily activities or non-ambulatory care. They had rooms with private bathrooms, furnished spaces, cable TV, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and a kitchenette, plus a dining room with meal services for special diets like diabetes and allergy-sensitive needs, and a chef for all-day dining, though now those rooms and services are empty or gone because of the closure. Oakmont accepted Medicare and Medicaid, handled medication management, and offered 24/7 nursing care, bathing, dressing, and transfers. They also provided housekeeping, laundry, move-in coordination, family support, and transportation with parking. Residents used to enjoy scheduled activities such as music, movies, arts, a fitness room, outdoor gardens, movie nights, spa, and wellness, and they could join walking or community-sponsored events.
After operating for years and being listed as a skilled nursing facility, Oakmont closed abruptly, with the official closure notice received on or before February 13, after a prior temporary closure as early as December. Staff reported that about 75 elderly residents, including people who didn't fully understand the situation, were told by letter and text that they had to leave, and at least 20 were moved quickly in the days leading to the closure. Residents and staff showed distress, with many crying, some refusing food or not taking medication, and staff concerned for resident health and emotional well-being. The Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman confirmed the closure, while management declined to comment, and staff couldn't communicate much with residents during that time. Residents were moved to other buildings owned by the same company, and staff needed new jobs.
Oakmont's history includes lawsuits about neglect, injuries, infections, and poor supervision, including burns from hot water, and the center was fined 28 times by the federal government for a total of around $318,000 over the past three years. Medicare gave the facility a 1 out of 5 stars rating, which means "Much Below Average." Though Oakmont had features normal for nursing and rehab centers, there's no specific list of services or amenities from the available records, and it's not accredited by the Better Business Bureau. Now the rooms, services, and programs are closed for good, and Oakmont Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation is no longer in operation.
