STERLING HEIGHTS/CLINTON TOWNSHIP — The stereotypical image of senior living — quiet hallways, passive activities, and residents quietly waiting out their golden years in a sunlit corner — is rapidly becoming obsolete. Today’s seniors are shattering expectations and demanding more from their living environments; Oakmont Senior Living is here to meet these evolving needs.
Oakmont survey numbers tell a compelling story with results like these: 97% community satisfaction, 100% concierge satisfaction, 97% maintenance satisfaction, 100% executive director always available, activity staff 92% satisfaction. Oakmont community residents are discriminating consumers. Today’s seniors aren’t seeking sleepy retirement homes —they’re seeking a lively community with quality programs and meals, activities and programs and engaged, supportive staff.
Fitness Focused: Wellness at Every Level
You can see this transformation in action at any of Oakmont’s dynamic communities, as each day gets underway with a symphony of activity. Each Oakmont community offers on-site group exercise programs and classes designed for individuals of various abilities and fitness levels. Offerings can include chair yoga for individuals with mobility limitations, strength training to help maintain bone density and posture, and balance-focused classes designed to reduce the risk of falls. Social fitness programs such as dance instruction or group walking clubs are also available in some communities. Oakmont’s residents build connections while building muscle, creating a jovial environment that fosters accountability, motivation, and support, making it more enjoyable to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Beyond Bingo: Events Build Lasting Connections
Social engagement at Oakmont extends far beyond traditional activities into meaningful community building. Weekly happy hours in the main lounge create a casual environment where residents share stories, plan collaborations, and form new friendships over drinks. These gatherings often spark impromptu interest groups or lead to planning specialty excursions or themed events. Oakmont residents frequently participate in community service activities, utilizing their professional expertise and life experiences to create impactful volunteer work throughout Metro Detroit. This enables residents to stay connected with dozens of local organizations, creating partnerships that benefit both the broader community and provide residents with purposeful engagement. Signature community events punctuate the calendar, from seasonal dinners featuring live music and delicious food to annual car shows or regular outings around Metro Detroit.
Active Seniors Transform Families
Perhaps most striking is how Oakmont’s communities can reshape family dynamics. Adult children report feeling less caregiving anxiety because their parents maintain such active, independent lifestyles. Grandchildren eagerly visit not out of obligation, but with genuine excitement about their grandparents’ latest adventures. Oakmont’s active senior living model represents more than lifestyle enhancement — it’s a fundamental shift in aging expectations.
