Nice Facility-Awesome CNAs' but Family Should Advocate for Residents
My loved one likes the food a lot. Sometimes they are short staffed. There is a group of CNA's who are good, which has been a positive experience. They should get paid more, since they work well with the residents. Overall, the facility needs to communicate, much better. If you need to talk, to a nurse they are in the locked memory care area. They are always helpful.

Thank you for your kind words. We are very proud of our new Head Chef and Culinary Director and so happy to hear your family member is enjoying our Luther Oaks cuisine. Also appreciate your mention of our great and hard-working Clinical Staff and that they are always helpful. We constantly strive to improve communication and increase contact channels so that families can reach out to more than one person for information when needed as we work together for optimal care and satisfaction.

Lots of potential, lots of challenges
There were some rough patches. I would suggest to, request a copy of the contract early, and make sure you get a resident's handbook. Furthermore, if things aren't clear, ask until you get an answer.

very good place for the money
The Luther Oaks is a very nice and clean community, right when you walk in you just notice how clean and fresh it smells. The staff members have been very friendly so far. Our loved one really seems to be enjoying the meals and dining service and the activities are good. Based on our experience so far we would recommend this community to others

Overall a Good Experience
My loved one is happy here. My loved one thinks everyone is friendly and nice. The meals are really good and my loved one says they haven't had a bad one yet. The staff have been good to work with the family.
Some of the activities include bible study, movies, and more for the residents to choose from. They are pet friendly and are very welcoming to the residents and guests.

Tour of Luther Oaks
We had a good tour with Luther Oaks but they required a buy in so we went with another facility.
Response from Luther Oaks
June 10, 2022
Luther Oaks is a life-planning community and yes, the residential-independent living area of apartment homes requires an entry-fee, also known as a residency fee, a portion of which can be a financial legacy or used by the resident for care later. (Note: The Luther Oaks assisted living areas do not require an entry fee and are a month-to-month rental model) For many people, the entry fee model of life planning is exactly the security and peace of mind they desire and also, it generally allows for lower monthly fees. However, and understandably, its not for everyone and so please accept my sincere thanks and appreciation to you for taking the time to explore your options and for your interest in Luther Oaks. We wish you the best.

Not meeting potential
We put our money down and picked a move in date, we did not get the 40 page contract until the day we moved in and we had to sign it right then and there. It then took a month to get a copy of that contract. When I got it and read it I realized there was a resident handbook that we did not get. They told me they do not hand it out anymore even though things I read were very important. When you move in, you are practically on your own to figure things out. Someone is supposed to clean residents rooms for an hour every other week and I do not see anything being done other than the bed being made. It is not clean unless I go in and do it for her. They are having staffing issues, they have a shortage of people to do things like clean and serve the meals. The options on the food menus are not healthy, they have a lot of bread and fillers. Their big meal is at night, I think it would be beneficial if they changed that to lunch time. I know they have just hired a new food service, I am hopeful that things will change. Overall there have been many things that we are disappointed with during our experience. It is a very nice facility that has a ton of potential.

Comfortable, Quality, and Safe Living for Senior Loved Ones
During the initial tour, I worked with the admissions director. But all of their sales staff were very helpful. They walk you through the entire process. We were able to see many different apartments. They wanted to know about and hear about my loved one, and that helped guide us to apartments and locations within the independent living community. With her mobility, they recommended a first floor apartment which has worked out perfectly for her. They just genuinely want to know about the residents. They offer a lot of activities, and though she's still getting acclimated and trying things out, she's really been enjoying what she's done so far. The staff even asked her recently what type of activities she would like to see, because they want to make sure they're meeting the wants and needs of their residents.

Thank you for your review. Everything you described is what we call the life-planning process and it sure is that! Our team members strive to fulfill and transcend expectations and help our residents navigate that process and transition into a new maintenance-free, enjoyable lifestyle.

Living Here
I have lived here in Independent Living for over two years. I am almost 85 years old and still very active.
I love it here so much and only wish I had moved here sooner.
The staff is wonderful, the meals are absolutely fine dining and there are many, many activities to take part in, if you so wish.
Also, I have made many new friends and love eating dinner with them or sharing activities.
If you are thinking of making the move.... do not wait too long!

Disappointing
My first impression of the facility was five-star worthy however I witnessed an incident in the memory unit that made me shake my head in disbelief.
One of the staff members was dealing with an agitated resident and called out for back-up at least five times and not one of the group of 3 or 4 staff members standing around talking went on to help out.
That's not even the worst of it.
A family member who was visiting one of the residents ended up running out of her loved ones room to assist the staff member!
Is that how little they care about a resident who is agitated and in need of help?
The staff in the memory unit at Luther Oaks should be ashamed of themselves.

I toured this community to help my friends. The staff answered all of my questions. It was very high end here and nice. It was clean. There were different levels of care and they would have to evaluate my friends to see what level they were. This just wasn’t a good fit for them. This was the Cadillac of Communities but you had to pay for that Cadillac.

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score.
