ContributeStarting on the first of this year, all Oakmont activity departments launched a new program to focus on providing volunteer opportunities for our residents. Each quarter, activities are offered that support a specific group in need; January through March we are helping under-served children and seniors.

After only two months, our residents have already done some remarkable work: In San Antonio Heights, residents have been collecting plastic bags and turning them into knitted sleeping mats that provide homeless families and seniors a soft, waterproof place to sleep. In Carmichael and Roseville, residents made beautiful Valentine's Day cards to deliver to children in the hospital. And residents at Oakmont of Chino Hills created beautiful no-sew blankets for the fire department to give out to seniors.

April through June we will be focusing on helping animals without homes. We can't wait to see what incredible ideas our residents come up with next!

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. - Winston Churchill

Friends make great neighbors and we want to thank you for each referral that you give

us. For each friend that moves in and lives at Oakmont for 90 days, we will thank you by giving you a free month’s rent and making you a member of our exclusive Oak Club.

Contact the Marketing Department to learn more about this wonderful program!

Theresa is someone you might call a caretaker extraordinaire! She came to live at Oakmont about seven months ago - her first time living in California! After high school, Theresa worked on an assembly line at a brazier factory, but life soon changed when she needed to help take care of her sister and her children. When she and her late husband Don started their own family, life again changed. She and Don lived in Johnstown, Pennsylvania for much of their lives, including

much of their 66 year marriage. They then moved to Arizona, and lived there for 27 years. Theresa raised 4 sons, and took care of her mother, her mother-in-law, and several neighbors over time – never too busy to lend her time. She organized a women’s club in her neighborhood, and was known for baking treats and making candies during holiday seasons, and for her son’s football teams!
