Welcoming community

Let me start that [name removed] would not be happy anywhere! She wants to be in her own home, ( not going to happen). . CNAs could be a little more attentive, always in a hurry. I would recommend this community to others, it is small enough that you feel comfortable, don't get list in the crowd. Thank you for your service to others

Why Mom moved

It's a nice place with friendly staff. However, we were promised a lot to get us in, that never happened. This as well as a big rent increase is why mom moved.

My sister seems to have formed nice relationships with a number of staff members. Sometimes when I'm on the phone with her I hear them interacting and it seems they are very kind and patient.

Great staff ... great place to live

Staff and other residents are very nice and welcoming. The atmosphere is pleasant. The food is good. There are plenty of activities to do. Everyone watches out for others and helps you wherever you want to go. It is bright and has a lot of artwork. Residents can decorate their door on the outside and decorate the inside of their apartment with their personal belongings. Recommend it for anyone looking for independent or assisted living ... or memory care.

Friendly , clean and a safe place for your family member.

The facility is always very clean and orderly. Staff are friendly and get to know the families of the patients very well. They typically communicate any concerns and share important information with the families in a timely manner.

Nice place

Apartments are nice but should have a coat closet. Food portions are very small. My Mom is having a hard time making friends but is trying. She enjoys bingo there. She likes the salon. Would like some more current movies played in the theater which is nice to have there. Friendly dining experience. Overall a nice place.

Corporate Office Thinks Seniors Have Unlimited Funds

Within six months of moving in, my mother's rent went up 12%. Corporate executives stated as part of rent increase independent residents would now get a 30 meal a month plan. Many residents did not want or need since they have a full size kitchen in their apartments. The residents wrote letters, signed petition, talked to executives but were not heard. Just corporate greed. Staff at facility were always kind and have no issues with them at all, they are not to blame. My mother is moving out.

Not for us

I would say do not go for Independent living. I have no experience with Assisted Living. No benefits in Independent living. Food is not included , outings not included and no medical benefits as well as no other benefits. It is Corporate owned and it is all about the money.

Wow! What a community!

The Oaks is truly an exceptional senior community! The programs here are nothing short of amazing. The Activity Director does an excellent job creating engaging and fun activities. The staff is incredible; always kind, attentive, and compassionate. The Executive Director has gone above and beyond to ensure that my parent feels comfortable and cared for. The Business Office Manager is always so helpful with billing questions, making everything easy to understand, and the Maintenance Manager is a godsend, taking care of everything promptly and efficiently. The building itself is beautiful, with wonderful amenities, and it's located so close to the high school and library, which is a bonus. The residents have been incredibly welcoming, and my parent has already made so many new friends. One thing I’d love to see improved is having dedicated hours for the pub. When looking for a senior community, it’s easy to focus on price, but the staff and atmosphere at The Oaks make it priceless.

Inconsistent at best

We leased with The Oaks starting in September 2023 and have already received 2 rental increases. The most recent is a change where they are mandating the selection of a meal plan at a minimum of $[removed] per month. This is a 10% increase in the cost for a service that we did not want. Their food is poor, service is limited. They often promise the adding of services but never deliver and the shuttle services are only available on a limited basis.

friendly and caring staff, an active curriculum to keep us mindful and alert.

The overall experience has been positive, but it takes a while to become comfortable with mates. The community is very clean and the staff are very helpful and friendly. I'm independent, but they get a 5.The staff are helpful with answering questions and getting help when sought. I usually eat dinner only... so personal so my likes are the only response 4 Dinners... they try. The activities are a 5 plus. Very good and fluid and responsive to patrons and I think the value for cost is fair.

Nice people during a difficult time

We moved my Dad to the Oaks earlier this year when his needs become too much for another facility. The staff is compassionate and communicative as my Dad and my family deals with his new reality. The place is spotless and the staff is professional. I would recommend everyone do thier due diligence when finding a place for your loved one. We did and our happy with our choice.

Friendly staff and residents

We chose The Oaks because of the new construction and the cleanliness of the facility. Staff are wonderful. But mom keeps hoping they will offer an older musical or movie in the theater. Everything is too current for her liking.

Short staffed.

They are short staffed. Wait time after pushing button is 30 to 60 minutes. You could be dead by then. I took my mother to my home after 2 weeks. It's beautiful but that's where it ends. To be fair, I think they are all the same. Better option for us was hiring home instead to come to my home.

A+ facility

. The experience at The Oaks was "A+" all the way around, could not have chosen a nicer facility. Unfortunately, my father passed away last September. We did his hospice there as well. Cannot thank the staff enough for their care in his final days. Everyone that we encountered was so nice and great to my father. He was very well taken care of.
