Oaks at Charleston

I received a lot of support from the staff, and [name removed] was very easy to work with. [name removed] was a little difficult. He was a handful, but they worked with me with him. I can't say enough good things. The meals were great, and they could have as much as they wanted. The only thing that needs improving is finding activities for those with dementia. I bought [name removed] Bird houses to paint. Just to keep his mind busy.

Caring

The staff and facilities make you feel like family and they treat Mom like family. She is at home there. She has people her age to talk to and interact with. I think it fits her well.

Caring staff

I really like that it is a smaller facility, so you really get to know everyone. They have plenty of activities to keep residents busy. Both of the activity directors (AL and MC) are excellent. And they have family night around once per month. The administrative and wellness staff are great.

Overall a nice community

I'm very happy with Mama's specific caregivers. There's always room for improvement but, overall, I'm pleased with the care Mama receives and I feel that she's safe at Oaks.

Would recommend

When it comes to the meals and dining I haven't tried it but my Dad has not complained. I am extremely pleased. Everyone is very accommodating and friendly both for resident and family members. They are always available to help. The facility is always clean and fresh. I would highly recommend The Oaks at Charleston. My Dad is a resident here and I am glad that I chose them.

Review for Oaks at Charleston

Overall, I am pleased with the care my mother is receiving. It felt more homey than the other facility we were looking at. Cost was a factor, of course.

Oaks at Charleston review

Turnover of quality of staff at the oaks is an ongoing challenge, especially for the oaks at Charleston. However, these roles (the general staff) are demanding. Not sure I could do it. I am no nurse But the social interaction is really important. The physical and occupational therapy, access to physicians, etc... was a plus. Adhering to a schedule (meals, etc.) is important. Both locations provide those elements.

Not a good fit if you need more support

The price is great but if your lived one needs a lot of support, I'd go somewhere else. They could have Cleaner rooms and Include healthier choices for meals.

BECAUSE OF THE OAKS...I M FREE FROM WORRY BECAUSE I KNOW SHE IS IN SAFE HANDS

The update is that all is well, and [name removed] is doing well. The care for her is good. She no longer can walk, nor stand. The only continued issue is the care of her clothes. Either it is missing or other clothing from other residents is mixed with her. Other than that, I give The Oaks an A.

Oaks at Charleston Review

The staff is wonderful, as well as the caregivers. For the most part, my family has a great rapport with the caregivers, and they are very attentive to our sister. We also have a great rapport with the residents, as we are a part of that community as well .

Our families experience

Some of these I can't answer accurately such as the friendliness of staff. There is a small handful of aids who are the sweetest most caring people you will ever meet but there are some who are plain nasty and border on abusiveness. Quality of care is poor unless you happen to have one of the good aids. We gave the activities a 3, but the activities director is FABULOUS.
