Chose Oakhaven because opted to fix meals in order to lose weight. Tried prepared menu; so tasty. It was hard to give up. There are things to do every day. Staff is great.

Management tends to be friendly to some and very unfriendly to others. Transportation seems to be an issue with residence who use a scooter. Conversations that should remain private are shared with other staff members and upon a request to repair a dining room light, manager took my note, did not say a word, turned her back on me and looked out her window, which in my world we call rude.

The nurses with ability plus have been very caring. It's been a good experience but they may need more care than possible. My father in law is currently in Wellbridge but we'll know more in a couple of weeks what the next step will be

Oakhaven Manor is very independent. It is a high rise, about 6 stories tall and I was not the biggest fan of that set up. It was just not the right fit.
Response from Oakhaven Manor

We chose Oakhaven Manor because of the location of the facility. The apartment sizes are acceptable. I do like that they have a shuttle bus service and they have a lot of amenities such as library, movie room, pool table, etc.. I would recommend to others looking.

We think it is pretty good. It has been hard since Covid-19. But they are working really hard to keep everyone safe. We have recommended them to relatives. The room sizes are nice. The layout is good it is not too big. The food is okay, it was better when served in the dining room.

Long waitlist; impressed with property, they only serve dinner and it's extra to include daily or you can purchase a la carte.

Really not much to do for the seniors for what we pay sometimes me and my mother would hear arguing coming from the office. plumbing is old and they had to shut the water off again the other day. water was gushing out of the ceiling. I don't know if the maintenance person even knew how to fix it the water was off for over 8 hours we also noticed mold in the furnace closet when someone was fixing are ac unit

September 6, 2018We apologize for the inconvenience with the water. It was required to have the water off to complete the repairs. Please know that our first priority is to make the residents happy.
There was a fence by the dumpster that was knocked down atleast 4 months ago, I talked to a tall maintenance guy said he was going to install a new one it still is not there and same guy was suppose to do something for my mother she has asked 4 times it never was done. For a maintenance person this guy is the laziest. My mother also had a work request for a crack ceiling for years and it wasnt fixed until a new maintenance person was hired 2 years ago.

A Place for Mom has scored Oakhaven Manor 9.6 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
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. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
