Oakmont has taken “extraordinary steps” to prepare for the virus and its impact on the residents, team members and the community, according to Stevenson.

“At the onset of the pandemic, we formed a task force committee specifically designed to harness the expertise throughout our organization and our network to develop clinical protocols and operational standards specific to COVID-19,” Stevenson said.

Oakmont continues to work closely with the Department of Public Health and local medical leadership with diligence, professionalism and compassion to further prepare for COVID-19, protect those who have been impacted and help slow its transmission, according to the company.

Residents at Oakmont of Valencia and Oakmont of Santa Clarita will continue to self-isolate in their apartment homes, and staff members are taking many enhanced precautionary measures, including routine monitoring of all residents and team members for symptoms, increased cleaning throughout the community, and following additional CDC guidelines to mitigate the risk and spread of the virus, according to Stevenson.

“We appreciate your ongoing support during this time, and we will continue to keep you informed as the situation evolves,” he said.
