Small and Homey

Decide what's most important to you before picking a place. We liked Alderman Oaks because it has a family atmosphere, is small and homey. It is not corporate, not big and not glitzy.

You all seem to treat my family like YOUR family!!!

I am hoping for a chance to meet you all in person, someday, soon. I worked in a nursing home, and have visited many facilities. Your family-run, home-like atmosphere is very unique, and our mom is very happy!!! She enjoys her neighbors, the staff who care for her, the food, and activities. My sister is a Florida resident who is there for Mom, too. I cannot be more thankful to all of you for the love you show and the excellent care. Again, hope to make the trip from Pennsylvania, soon to meet you all...... Thank yo

If you are looking for a great retirement/ assisted living facility do not bother looking any further. Alderman Oaks is the BEST facility out there! Hands down! [Name removed] the owner along with his staff are fabulous! My loved one lived there for 10 years and was taken premium care of. The entertainment, the on going activities, the outings, the housekeeping, the food, the laundry service and quality of care is stellar!
