I recommend if someone is not expecting luxurious surrounding and gourmet menus

In case there is a ? The overall care was a 5 the dash sign was just a dash the staff is the most important part of the survey and they get the highest praises they go over and above when it comes to patient care The facility is not glamorous or glitzy but is well kept and clean

Response from the community

Thank you for your kind words. I know we don't have the same real estate as many of the other personal care facilities, but I do believe that the care & the staff are what make a facility great. Folks will remember a smile, kind word, helping hand much more than a chandelier...

A truly caring community

This community has been a blessing for our family. The staff are kind, patient, and truly care about the residents. My friend feels safe, respected, and well cared for, and that gives me real peace of mind. I’m very grateful for the compassion and support they provide every day.

Oakwood Residence experience

Oakwood Residence is the best place for my sister. There's nothing I can say bad or negative about how clean, how they keep my sister active and well fed. The staff is so good with me and never had a question that was not answered. Give it 5+ stars, mention the director, who held my hand first the very 1st time I met her. I'm not sure if you can mention her name or not, but she was an angel that went over and above to help me with all my fears, questions and concerns, and still does. If you can give her a shout-out

Oakwood Residence review

We are very happy with Oakwood Residence. My mom is very happy there. I would give a 5 but I'm not happy with the fact that every time I call to check on my mom or want her to call me, I get the rehab side & the put me through & there's never an answer. Overall I'm happy with this place. Staff is really nice & my mom is happy. Of course she doesn't like the food, but I'm sure it's hard to please & cook for everyone. I only wish there was a direct line to the residents side. I would like to be able to call my mom &

Thank you so much for the kind words. There was an issue with the nurses portable phone a little while ago but we have finally received it back with the repairs. This should be a resolution for the calls. If you see it continue please let me know

I recommend the facility.

Clinical communication needs improvement. As well as the billing department. We had issues with the nurses giving us crucial updates in regards to our mother
