Extremely Satisfied

The food is good, all kinds of activities, and being right on the water in downtown Clearwater, unprecedented views of Clearwater Bay to the Gulf of America. I highly recommend it. If you have to live in a place like this, this is the place to live.

Can't beat that view!

The staff was great. Friendly and attentive to my Mom's needs. She didn't care for the food so much. Especially considering each individual's diet needs. Her room was kept clean. I feel the windows should be cleaned more regularly on the outside. Lovely view, but a better tint on the glass would be nice. To keep the heat out. The a/c units seem outdated and it seems they need to work hard to keep up with the demands of that type of place. The size of the place was nice for what she needed it for. She enjoyed the ac

The staff was great. Older facility that used to be a hotel. Has assisted, skilled nursing and memory care. Thorough tour with all questions/concerns answered. Had the feel of a skilled nursing home. Our family was looking for assisted living that had more of an apartment complex feel and we found that elsewhere.

Review for The Oaks of Clearwater

The building itself could use an upgrade, the food is alright and we still have yet to see the roll out of the care provided to her overtime. At this time I would give it a 3 overall so far. The view is lovely right there on the beach. Also, the price was mid-range of budget. With only other place charging less than the one we found.

Review for The Oaks of Clearwater

There have been issues with dining being too slow or them forgetting to put in her order. There was an incident with housekeeping, she came in and didn't announce herself as mom didn't hear her knock as the tv was on and she was in the bathroom with the door open. My mom looked up from the toilet and the housekeeper was standing in the doorway just staring at her. Other than that it's been pretty good. There are some wonderful people who work there and most are very friendly!
