I visit her once a month (or so) and we have gone to the resident dining maybe twenty times. From the first time I was shocked by the quality of the food. My first time I was expecting an old-school cafeteria-style food service with metal trays and food slopped onto the plate. This was completely different. The food was shockingly good, and the meal of the day (lunch) always has a soup, a main meal and a dessert. It's not overly fancy but the food in actually really tasty and they give you good size portions. The staff are very attentive and polite and the experience is a very pleasant dining experience. Today we had garden vegetable soup along with pot roast, scalloped potatoes and peas, with apple pie for dessert. The pot roast was excellent and the potatoes were exceptional. You know the food is good when the head chef/manager of food service is there talking with residents to make sure she gets feedback concerning the food that she prepared. Currently the dining area in being remodeled and should be done by the end of this year. So, the dining area currently is less then amazing, and what they can offer is limited. I'm looking forward to the new dining experience once they have their grand opening later this year.

I am…read morepleased to say we finally found a place that from the minute we were welcomed it has exceeded all of our expectations. Reviews can only give you a snap shot of experiences. In the case of Oakmount of San Antonio Heights. We did the tour that really brought the Staff, Patients and facility into a light of excellence. The treatment that my Brother is receiving is far superior than the homes he was at. When he pushes his alarm they are there with smiles and concern in a way unmatched by other homes. The communication and knowledge of the staff from the receptionist, environmental Sys, Nurses, Kitchen staff, Grounds Keepers, and especially there highly qualified Maintenance staff who are incredibly prompt as was the case with Eric. We had just started moving in and i was extremely busy coordinating the move, when this young man offered to assist me with a TV that was coming the next day. And to my amazement he was there and had it hung in record time. Now i am a retired Engineer from three different hospitals and we couldn't have done that. So kudos to the Management for hiring well trained eager staff. The bottom line is check this place out and save time and protect your loved ones. Amazing Facility and staff. Brian Mullenix.

Ivy Cottage was the perfect place for mom in every way. It's a beautiful home that she shared with 5 other women who shared her interests and allowed her to live "at home" even if it wasn't her own home. The staff is wonderful and the caregivers handled everything she needed. Outings, neighborhood walks, home cooked meals and they took care of absolutely everything. I never had to worry about her showering, remembering to take her medications and she became friends with all of her new roommates. Their caring staff treated mom in a loving and professional manner, and made her feel at home and loved. I couldn't have found a better solution for her! Ivy Cottage is the BEST!

The staff here have genuine heart. They are kind, attentive, and consistently go above and beyond for their residents. Our loved one resides in memory care, and while this stage of life can be emotional, the Claremont Place team has made the journey feel lighter. The caregivers, Med Techs, administrative staff, dining staff, maintenance, laundry, and everyone in between are intuitive, patient, and treat residents with the dignity and warmth you hope for when you entrust someone you love to another persons care. Management is honest, respectful, and responsive. Any concern is met with clear communication and prompt follow through, and their experience working with older adults is evident in the way they anticipate needs before they become issues. It feels like a true partnership. They also bring joy to daily life. Holidays and celebrations are handled with thoughtful intention, and the food and activities create a sense of home and community. We visit often, but it brings real peace knowing we do not have to. Our loved one is in very good hands. We are genuinely grateful for the team at Claremont Place and the care they continue to provide.

In her room, she has a single bed, a large recliner, a dresser, two large chairs and a small desk for her computer with a chair. She has a nice big window with a view of the garden that she can see from her chair. With all this in the room, she still has lots of space to maneuver her walker safely and get to the window and her air handler to make herself comfortable. The food is very good. We eat there often with my mom. Most of the servers make an effort to remember my mom's preferences and they bring her what she wants before she even asks. Staff is attentive, concerned and proactive. The front desk is a hub for all information and if they don't know the answer, they follow up. I will post more updates in the months to come. Overall we made the right choice.
