Oak Park Place

My father was having some trouble adjusting to the community so we moved my mother in as well. The place has been wonderful to both of them. The care givers there unbelievable they get my father to laugh and they keep him going. The room he is in is comfortable and the apartment my mother is in is beautiful. She has a huge bedroom. I had a meal there not too long ago for lunch, it was just a sandwich but it was very tasty. They recently got a new cook, [Removed], and he is amazing. It sure always smells good in the dining room when he's cooking.

There are very few activities offered to the residents it would be nice if they could add more. The meals are good and the environment is gorgeous. I really like that the director is attentive and very professional. The layout of the community is more suited for someone who is more independent. The interaction of the staff is very limited to the residents. The cleanliness of the place is exceptional.

I do not have a loved one at Oak Park, per se, but there's many residents I've gotten to know and love, and I care about! My husband is a preacher, and he's been holding services at Oak Oark for about 8 years. I accompany him and try to be a blessing. I, myself, am a professional caretaker and I worked at a nursing home facility (not associated with this facility in any way) and through the years I've had loved ones in a variety of nursing facilities so I am well acquainted with nursing homes and the issues. I also listen to the residents and have observed. No facility is perfect but if the time comes I can no longer take care of my mom (my best friend) this is where I would place her if possible. Oak Park has annual appreciation dinners for volunteers and during those times the food has been good, otherwise I cannot say about the food. But I have visited residents in different sections, and in each instance the areas have been reasonably clean, and I have very high standards for cleanliness. The staff has always been super professional very friendly and accommodating. Not just to me, but I observe the interactions between residents and staff. Having visited the facility for years, I've seen a few challenging situations for staff (residents being difficult) and the staff's response has always been exemplary. The facilities are really lovely, but it's not just pretty where visitors see, it's really nice all over the facility from the places I've seen. I've visited most if not all sections and spent time with residents not only in the main halls but visited in their rooms as well. But I love how many activities they have going on all the time! Stuff I would do, not just Friday night bingo or old movie night. They really have some neat stuff. I think they really try to do things that not only help the residents such as games that could help memory etc., but fun stuff. Baking cookies, playing inside mini golf, and doing fun art...some out if the box stuff that looks fun to me. I am close to a few residents, I love them like family and I listen to their concerns and pray with them etc., I have yet to hear a truly derogatory comment about Oak Park. Once one resident didn't care for a staff member personally, there was no issue she just didn't care for her personality but the staff member hadn't done anything wrong. My honest opinion about that was the resident was being a little picky. The resident said that...That's all, in several years. That's pretty astounding. Having worked in the industry and having family in different facilities, I can say that is definitely not the norm. I honestly believe that this facility does it's best at employing quality individuals who demonstrate ability AND concern. The staff members I've observed and interacted with are professional, friendly, and are genuinely caring individuals. Again, I would send my mom there, (or any other loved one, I would go myself. )

We were very pleased with Oak Park Place Madison. I just think they gave him excellent care. The staff watched over him really well. We were so very happy with everything at this facility. I am so grateful for the way everything went.

They have been really great, they really have. My loved one is not the easiest person, and they have been great! I would give them a five at this point. We have been really happy with them.

The people are very friendly. The food is very good as well. The kitchen staff is very helpful when talking about the menu. My parents will be very happy here. The staff at the front desk are always happy to answer any questions you may have. I couldn't have asked for a better community. We visited several facilities and this is the one we chose. It's a great place. We are very, very pleased with everything.

My Mother is in Memory Care here. I can sleep well at night knowing she is good hands! I have witnessed the care and love from the hard working staff! I would recommend this place to anyone!!

We've had a good experience with Oak Park Place so far! The facility itself is nice looking, clean, and well kept, and the staff have all been very friendly and helpful. They really went out of their way to help her get situated and settled in, which I really appreciate. They are an assisted living community, but they have no problem helping out with some minor memory care needs, like reminding her to brush her teeth, etc. It's a very nice place, and I would recommend them!

My great aunt moved to Oak Park Place in November. The staff is very kind and caring. I go to visit her about 3 times a week. She is always well groomed and room clean. It feels like a home. Less institutional compared to where she was before. The residents are a joy and the staff very attentive. It is small and they don't have a nurse 24 hrs. But one that is available on call.

We toured this community when we were looking into senior living options for a loved one. It was fabulous! It is a very very nice looking place. It has everything that my father would be looking for!

Mom has a comfortable apt. with large windows so she can see what is going on around her. She is very well taken care of which gives me peace of mind. She enjoys the meals and the caregivers take the time to know what she likes and doesn't like. It is a beautiful facility with an outdoor patio and covered balconies on each floor with tables and chairs for resident use. There are lots of activities for those who need help and games and puzzles for use at anytime. We are very happy with Oak Park Place and very greatfull for A Place for MOM.

My parents have lived at Oak Park Place for 14 months now and we are all so impressed with the outstanding care they receive. They both are on medications that are given to them daily so we do not need to worry about them forgetting to take them or over taking them. Mom loves Wednesdays, she get to have her hair done. Thursdays they both enjoy going to church and partaking in a lot of various activities. My sister and I looked at many places before we found Oak Park Place, nothing we looked at came any where close to how friendly, clean, and safe it felt to us. The staff is always willing to help my parents with anything, they talk to them as if they were family to them. We feel so good to know they have a nurse there to help with anything that comes up. If you are looking for an Assisted Living complex for you loved ones this should be on the top of the list to look at. Thank you Oak Par Place for making my life easier knowing my parents are safe, happy and enjoying there later years in life.

This seemed to be everything you might want or need. Loved it! The only drawback is the cost and price raises. Independent living, assisted living and memory care were all ideal, except there was no circular path in memory care, but is that really important?

It's clean and the staff is friendly and concerned, and responsive. They could maybe use another staff member or two. It would have been nice to have more information about what to expect in the beginning, when things happen and how frequently they happen, just some of the nuts and bolts. They did give me a list of what to bring, and I was able to get my questions answered, but it would be nice for those just coming in.

Friendly 5+ The friendliness of the whole staff is wonderful – I’ve been in the industry a long time and staffing this good is rare. We haven’t had any trouble with the laundry service. My loved one hasn’t said anything bad about the food and that’s a little surprising. There is an outside area for residents and there is enough parking.

My apartment is lovely, and the folks who live here are very nice. There seems to be quite a few activities.

We were very happy with the tour. A very nice facility. We learned a lot.

This is the very finest we could hope to find. Thoughtful attentive supervised competent staff. The modern architectural design is first class as well is the food and dinning room service is great. Mom is so happy and in not time at all. Everyone went out of their way to help her adjust.

Oak Park Place is a brand new, well designed facility with an excellent staff. What a relief it is to know mom is in now in great hands, and is as comfortable as possible with her mid to late stage ALZ.

From a family members standpoint, they've been very welcoming, helpful and responsive to his needs. I do feel that it's worth the money that he's paying for it. He's doing pretty well, you can never get something for everybody but he has some things to be involved in and the advertising is good. They let people know about them frequently and there's a variety of things for them to do. I have not eaten there but my dad says the food is fine, some people mumble about it but he has his things he mumbles about. I'd put the food as a 3, he has his quirks, like no gravy on anything, but they're coming around to those things. They're being very understanding and very supportive.
