Overall would recommend

For the activities, they are really isn't as many as I hoped initially because of the director being on a leave of absence. And the overall experience was all right. Value for the money it is a costly endeavor end. I think it's probably average for value to cost.

Review for Oak Park Place - Dubuque

To be real honest they are in some ways the same as everyone else - struggle with staffing - turn over issues - the people are fine and seam to treat their clients well - they treat me fine and are helpful when needed - so I rated them a 4 mainly due to their shortage of personnel and turnover issues but I see that as an industry issue vs them specifically

Oak Park Place review

It has been great for my mom - this is the first place she has settled into - I highly recommend it. We would give the overall experience a 4.5, and that is because nothing is perfect.

Staff need better training

They did pretty good overall considering the pandemic. Dad liked the food and seemed quite content at OAK Park Place. My only complaint, a serious problem, was his medications. The staff dispensing it wasn't really qualified, IMHO. Dad was in assisted living. Unfortunately he passed away in November 2022. One of his medications required a blood pressure check before giving it to him, I don't think they were doing that. It may have contributed to his hospitalization and death. The dispensing of medications is a very serious undertaking. I don't think Iowa has any regulations regarding this in assisted living settings.

Mom is happy

It's a nice community with a lot to do if one wants to take advantage. Mom is very happy at Oak Park Place, so therefore I would recommend the facility to others looking.

Nice place to live and I would recommend it

We are very pleased at the facility. We had no idea what to expect, but I have heard bad things about other places and have not found any problems here at all. People are very friendly and it was the best thing we could do to move here. Hope that helps.

Great experience

Oak park was a great place for mom. Unfortunately mom was only there a short while before she passed. The staff there was so caring and accommodating. It was comforting to know they were only a call away.

Great care staff

I really thought the workers were great with the residents. Loving even. Her room was always out of Toilet Paper and Paper towels. The toilet was grossly dirty most of the time and the floor was seldom vacuumed. The dining room and common area always looked good. It was just her room was very bad and she was barely ever in there except to sleep.

Not recommended

I would not recommend Oak Park Place to others. They kicked my loved one out on the first day. The nurse demanded that a family member be present at all times. They're also having staffing issues.

Oak Park Place Review

1 my husband was having health problems and that's the reason we moved here to be close to kids but everybody has been really nice and very helpful 2 it could be a little better. It looks like somethings are just old and need to be replaced like carpeting, and outdoor decks need to be power washed. 3 everyone here is just lovely. My husband and I are glad we're here and we've got so many friends already. 4 we have a senior apartment and I also have people coming in to help me with my husband and that was very important when we signed up here 5 the food is pretty good, there is always something different on the menu and if you don't like it, all you have to do is put in what you want on your order 6 I don't do any of the activities because I'm busy taking care of my husband. He does the rosary and we both do the pub on Wednesday and ice cream socials on Friday and Sunday. 7 I really don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems to be pretty good for us

Happy mom is here.

We're happy Mom moved to Oak Park there are many opportunities for socializing and various activities offered. I've never walked in without being greeted. All the staff, nurses and even the chef are so friendly. Mom has had a little problem getting the help she need with the broken arm, but other than that she's happy and in a better place.

My tour of Oak Park Place

I toured this facility and it was a nice place with lots of activities and in a good location. You had to pay several hundred dollars to put your name on their waiting list, which would go towards the first month's rent if you moved in.

Staff

My Dad has not been in there to long but what I have experienced so far from the staff has really impressed me. They are very polite and concerned about how they are working with my Dad. You can tell they truly understand how to work with individuals who are struggling at this stage in their lives.

Outstanding Staff

I liked the people there - everyone seemed really nice. It was a lot better experience than we had at a previous community. The staff at Oak Park Place were much more caring, not just toward my mom but to the other residents as well. It didn’t seem like just a job to them - they truly seemed to care. I was very happy with my mom’s brief time there.

would recommend

It is a newer community and despite the struggles with staffing they are really doing a good job - for instance sometimes our loved ones laundry takes awhile to get done but its not a big problem. The director is fantastic and every time we call the day to day staff are always very responsive. Our loved one really enjoys the meals and dining service. He really likes the convenience of the transportation that they offer.
