Oak Ridge Alzheimer's Special Care Center

I would have no problems sending any loved one here, they are doing a great job with my loved one. They love her and the other residents here. The community has a good variety of meals to offer. They post the meals outside the dining room for the residents to see what is being served for the day. Some of the activities they have include manicures, bean bag toss, listening to music, floral arranging, planted flowers in the patio area, and more for the residents to participate in. There are daily activities except for on Sunday. The staff have been really good at answering any question the family has. If they don't know the answer, they will direct me in the right direction for the answer. They are friendly and helpful. My loved one lighted up during the tour and it immediately felt like home to both them and I.

I would recommend this community, the staff are friendly knowledgeable and they care about the residents. They have been going through a transition so there are new people at this time that I am getting adjusted to. The tour was great and they were very informative and sensitive to my loved ones needs.

I was looking for a place for mother and didn't know where to start. A Place for Mom sent me some places to visit and evaluate. Oak Ridge has been caring from the beginning and mother is doing better than before. She has made friends and trusts them to care for her. If Mother is happy, so am I.

We chose Oak Ridge because we clicked with [name removed] the administrator. We went with our gut feeling and chose them. She is in a private room and it is good size for what she needs. They have had some staff turnover which I am sure is happening everywhere. They did have a covid outbreak recently and I think that they handled it very well. I would recommend to others looking.

The staff is very friendly and nice and they keep the community neat and clean. I don't know if I would recommend this community at this time.

It's been a positive experience, and I would recommend them. They're very friendly and informative. They're as good as could be expected in dealing with my loved one with dementia.

The staff is very caring and friendly. The rates are very reasonable, This community gives you a set rate for the entire time no matter what the care. I would definitely recommend this community to others

I was very pleased with the overall care that my dad received here. We chose this facility because everything just seemed better, the staff were nicer and easier to work with, our first contact with them was pleasant, and affordability and location. I would definitely recommend to anybody looking for Alzheimer's care for their loved one.

Another awesome place ...

My family & I really enjoyed the people in this facility as well as the Staff.

My mom has been a resident for over two years now. At first her experience was great, but under new management the care has deteriorated. Staff turnover is very high which is concerning and upsetting to my mom and other residents. Staff members just disappear with no explanation of what happened to them. There are a few excellent staff members and all the Med techs are great but how long will they stay? This place has turned into a sad and lonely place for my mom. After she was released from a week long hospital stay my mom went back to the Village. We were told her care would be more attentive, as she needed more after the hospital stay. After two weeks that stopped and I was told by the director that the extra care was just temporary and a “courtesy”. Had we known that we would have placed her in another place after her hospital stay. We are very disappointed and saddened by the change in care.

Beautiful well maintained community. From the Executive Director down an excellent staff. Plenty of activities and great food.

[Name removed] was a hoot! So friendly, calming, reassuring and very attentive. The place looked like a hotel lobby - did not look like a nursing home or smell like one (that was very important). Love the layouts of the rooms and the hallways too - very smart design. Friendly staff with longevity. Lots of rooms for activities to keep mom busy...that was comforting as well. And very affordable.

Really loved the atmosphere and layout. The only one that had so many outdoor areas that my sister-in-law could enjoy. Staff were caring and friendly. We've decided to go with this Memory Care Center

First off I want to say that this community is nice we just had a horrible experience due to the lack of nursing care. They have a nurse but she isn't full time and then she was hardly there at the times she was supposed to be. My mom had a wound on her foot and they failed to let me know that she had this sore and it turned into a bone infection and she had to be in the hospital and then rehab. Mom loved the ambiance and the daily activities they offered and they have christian activities like Hymn singing. The food wasn't that great. Everything seemed to be orderly and clean. I just think if a place has a nurse they should do wound care on the elderly.

My Mother-in-law is here and she really likes the facility. Things seem to be going well for her. The staff keeps the residents very active, involved in activities, and they check up on them regularly. They’ve been very good and are always very positive and friendly. The food is actually really good as well. It’s always well balanced and there are always at least 2 entrees to choose from. The facility will take the residents out to museums, there are tea rooms for the ladies, and they have activities like bingo, movies, sing-a-longs, and inspirational meetings. There’s a full calendar with something going on every day. The cleanliness is also very good, it’s one of the reasons we ended choosing this place. I recommend them.

Beautiful, but pricey.

I had a tour with them and I got the information I needed to make a good choice for my dad. I had no problem with the tour or staff there.

I have no complaints of how things went during my tour of this community. The staff where friendly and made sure to be on time to our appointment. They answered any questions we had for them and made sure to give us a lot of great information on everything they had to offer.

I moved my mom in Nov 2016, I have since moved her out. As the changes approached my mom had fallen several times, some I were aware of others, I was not. I would see new scrapes that weren't there the prior week. She was added on a medication that I was not notified about until I got her pharmacy bill, which I was told could increase falls. I brought in walking and when I moved her out she was in a wheelchair. Very disheartening....
