The Oaks by Senior Lifestyles

I deeply regret that I did not place my difficult father at The Oaks earlier. The top notch care he received from all levels of staff are pleasant. The clean environment and the varieties of three daily meal menus prompted my father always looking forward coming to the dining room. He transformed to be a happier father. Definitely recommend this great facility to others.

The attitude of the caregivers seems to care for me. [name removed]. The chef has done a fantastic job as the food served in the main dining room is consistently delicious. I strongly recommend The Oaks for those looking for an assisted living community.

I say good overall. Other people I talk to like the Oaks. Some of the hospice staff I met recommend the Oaks. I like the dining area it feels open

I am extremely pleased with the care my dad is receiving. I have found that the majority of staff is extremely friendly and care greatly for residents like my dad who is in Memory Care. Excellent community!

A smooth transition from Assisted Living to Memory Care is VERY important. "DO it early in the day. Ahead of the resident getting there. Make it as similar to their last room as possible. Give yourselves plenty of time to transition that first week." This was the advice we were given by the staff and IT IS EXCELLENT ADVISE!! This staff is soo caring and loving. For them it's a calling, NOT a paycheck.

They need more help & caregivers that will give my Mom better assistance!

The reasons that we chose The Oaks by Senior Lifestyles was because of the location as well as the appearance. The facility was full of life, nice & bright. They were very compassionate, and showed a true desire to interact and assist with my loved one.

This was a good experience for our loved one and family. They had some really good staff who remembered our name and which residents was is in the community. Then there were other staff members that weren't as customer focused. The care provided was very good. The communication with the family was good, as well. There were three meals a day served to the residents, and there were choices for the residents to choose from. I believe the transportation could be improved, as they are limited on the days they provide transportation to the residents. If the community didn't have a driver for the day, then they weren't able to provide transportation to the residents.

Right when we came to The Oaks we knew this was the place for our loved one, they had a huge welcome sign for us and we were greeted by half their staff team. We just absolutely love the staff - they treat all the residents with dignity and respect, they do not talk down to them and if a resident needs to be redirected they do it in an appropriate manner. We visit on Fridays and Saturdays and the activities coordinator is just fantastic. She is absolutely amazing, she does not treat them like babies, she engages in full conversations with them. When we do visit they are all very communicative and when we are away the staff are still very communicative. We know she is in a great hands there, we are very happy with the experience so far and we would recommend The Oaks to anyone in a heartbeat.

It is a very friendly and open atmosphere. It is nice to have the meals open from 7-7 instead of set meal times so the residents are able to come and go as they please. It is served more restaurant style and it works well for them. I would definitely recommended The Oaks.

I am not sure that the lady who does the actual assessment on the residents was listening to me. It was kind of degrading and we were not very comfortable with it. I think she could have been nicer through that whole process, but that is really the only negative I have. The place is exceptional, the food is amazing, and the staff has been great. It is beautiful and clean and the price was very reasonable especially for what you get.

The food is very bad. The quality is not good, it is over seasoned/very highly salted, and they never have anything twice. Your order something and try to get it again and they don't have it. There are not many activities provided for the residents either. Due to our experience, we would not recommend the facility to others.

They're friendly and open. It's a clean facility that serves good food. I would recommend them to others. They're a little short-staffed, but it's been good overall. They try their hardest and do the best that they can. They're a little bit more expensive, but we chose that on purpose.

The carpet needs a little bit of cleaning, but other than that everything is very clean and the house keepers do a great job with my apartment. The staff members here are just wonderful. The meals and dining service is very nice, I am used to my own cooking so sometimes i miss a few things but everything is nicely placed on the china so i cannot complain. They also make wonderful soups. When it comes to the activities they do a great job each week creating more things to do. I really enjoy the movies and I am looking forward to participating more in the activities once i heal from my surgery.
