Oak Woods Manor

Oak Woods Manor is great. I have my independence and that is very important to me. We friendly and amazing staff that is always available if we need anything. The building does not smell and is very clean. Animals are allowed but there are rules that are enforced and must be followed regarding their care. Meals are great and always hot and fresh. Waitstaff is amazing and very helpful. The housekeepers are wonderful and keep the place looking great. My only regret is that I didn’t move here sooner.

After my Dad passed my sister and I did not want my Mom to be home in the country alone. Greatest choice we made was to move her to Oak Wood Manor in LaPorte, IN.! She made so many new friends, got involved in so many activities such as crafts, bingo and games! She also enjoyed the Bible studies and entertainment that Oakwood provided. She 100% enjoyed living at Oakwood! Had she stayed at her home, she would have sat and watched TV all day and evening! Thank You Oakwood Manor!

I would a friend, it is a warm and welcoming facility that did everything possible to make us feel at home and meet every need.

I’ve been here 7 months so far and I’m enjoying it. The meals have been amazing and the chef is open to new ideas. The staff is great. It’s feels like home and I’ve made so many new friends. I love the activities and bus outings as well. The best part is that my cat can be here with me.

Questions answered-concerns addressed. Would recomend to others or live her if circumstances warrented. I feel my mother is safe here & hope she is as satisfied as she says she is. Activities are fun and there are even learning seminars that are interesting.

My independence is important to me and I have it here at Oak Woods. The food is delicious. The chef is very accommodating. Staff is very friendly. Home like feeling and comfortable. I’ve made many new friends as well.

Mom was having frequent falls and her safety was a concern. After moving her to Oak Woods Manor we can rest assured that she is safe and looked after. Mom has thrived significantly and enjoys her friends, friendly staff, and amazing meals. Mom has even participated in several new activities that she would not have experienced from home. This has been a positive life changing experience all the way around.

Well water, not city water. They spray for ants in the resident rooms. Because there are ants in resident kitchens. Emergency pull chains are only located in the resident bathrooms. Only some rooms have a walk in shower, most have a very high step in tub. Windows were difficult to open in the resident rooms. Only basic cable is included. Very limited channels. Nighttime front desk staff was not pleasant. Small dogs and cats are allowed-the hallways often smelled of animal pee/poop. Residents did not clean up animal feces in the grassy outside areas. Not enough outside seating. Washer/dryer room has restricted hours of use for residents. Very inconvenient. Need newer/more machines. Difficult to access building after 7 pm. No staff at desk to answer the doorbell. Sign in/out sheet is out of date--and inconvenient. Staff delivered/administered medications to residents. No defibrillator on premise. Staff has keys to every room No cameras in hallways= no visibility of residents except call button if a resident falls or enters another residents room. And no staff accountability when entering a residents room. Emergency back up lights failed once they ran out of charge leaving residents in the dark. Candles and flashlights were used during outages. No handrails along the hallway walls. Food is carb heavy. Dining service is slow. Not enough kitchen/wait staff. Hot food was often cold and unappetizing. Breakfast was bland and worse than a cheap hotel chain. Offerings were often out of stock. Same items every day. Took away hot food service that was offered 2x a week. Snacks are offered daily. Mostly sugary sweet items. Lobby TV was too loud. Staff encouraged residents to leave area by 8pm Always chilly. 72 degrees year round. Busing service was great in the beginning. Then became by advance reservation only Not many outings Very few activities

It was a beautiful place! We picked this community, because they offered short term stays. Facility and staff were fabulous. It was very nice, loved that they allowed time for my dad to count doors to the elevator and allowed him the extra time he needed to feel comfortable.

My elderly mom has been a resident for almost 4 years. The staff are all amazing! The facility is clean and well-maintained! Planned daily activities. Just love the care they provide! Over and above! Highly recommend!

My mom is very happy, she has been there 3 years. She has made many friend that she won't had if she was still living at home alone. I am happy that my mom is so happy and safe

I am happy to tell everyone about this place, my Mom moved in last month and attended a dance under the stars event there, where she had the time of her life. I haven't seen her that happy in a long time. Thank you Oakwood for your professional and family friendly place my Mom now calls home.

I toured it last summer and my parents have been there a year, they are very happy and I feel they are safe

While my mom loves the place, I am so happy

I was looking for my mom, and was told by a friend who's mother lives at oak woods, we loved it and moved in mom

I took my mom to Oak Woods Manor for a Open House in March, we took a tour and we were very happy. Out of 4 places we went to in the month of March we were the most pleased with Oak Woods. The Lunch was good, entertainment fun and the residents were so friendly.

So far so good but it's only been a few days that she's been in the facility.
