I wanted to move out there but I walked in the independent side and there was several water leaks and water buckets catching the water. When it was hot there was no good cold air and when it's cold there was no heat in the hallways to keep people warm.

Unsatisfied and very upset that the Oaks that promised the world and took most of it away

When mom first went there I would of gave all 5. Now I have moved her because there is no transportation for trips, she wouldn't eat the food, no one at the front desk after a certain time and no one there on the weekends at the desk. They had cut there activities out as well for the most part. I wouldn't recommend this place

How the Oaks on the Edisto sold us out

They just pass the buck from one to the other saying they never collected a security deposit.

Honestly, we were delighted to have a beautiful home and a future that would carry us both to the end of our lives, the buy in seemed well worth it. Exactly 11 months after this t

Restore The Oaks to its original beauty and status

The facility is old and dirty. The food is high carbohydrate and low protein. There's some form of chicken at every meal. The food is overcooked.

The cleaning staff are stretched to the limit, but they try to do the best they can in a short period of time. The cost is the lowest in the area, which makes it affordable. I would

My loved one is a resident at The Oaks on the Edisto. Communication is really the only thing that I have problems with. Overall, I would recommend this facility to others but probably not for someone with Dementia.
