Oaks at Evans

The facility is great, always clean and airy feeling. The have several optional, well planned activities throughout the day, such as word games, chair aerobics, music therapy, games, and worship services. They provide in house medical visits and prescription delivery, hair appointments, physical therapy, and optional menus. Every person who has gone with me to visit my sister there has been impressed with their attitude, friendliness, and programs.

We liked the size of facility and the friendliness of the staff. We disliked management overriding the food services order without notification. One statement I overheard was that we didn't require the quality of food ordered. That was our problem with the food service the quality was poor and no consideration for diabetics which accounted for about 60% of the residents. There I used pre cooked meals to support my meals. Charges continued to climb even when Director who recruited had told us in August that there would be no increase costs due to a profit. Within two months my rate increased by 10%. There were no improvements implemented. I was very disappointed with corporate with these changes that were not included in my contract. There many other instance where they continuously overridden local management. This led to qualified constantly leaving their employment. Bluntly stated, the landscaping was just glorified grass cutting service. I supplemented by purchasing blooming flowers which many residents acknowledge their joy for my contribution . We are older but our quality of life was not much concern of corporate management. Other facilities in the area do a better job in the above areas with little very much difference in cost. I am no longer at the Oaks due to decisions made by corporate management.

My loved one was previously a resident at Oaks at Evans and the overall experience for us at this facility was poor. Communication with the family was non existent. The staff was cruel, at best. The care services were terrible. Based on our experience, I would not recommend Oaks at Evans to others.

Overall satisfied.

They don't have a laundry department like the place she came from. I do mother's laundry and a lot of residents do their own. I do think that they could provide more choices on the food menu and also have more activities offered as well.

We chose Oaks at Evans because the place was just so homey and was very welcoming. The director was so kind to my dad and was joking with him and just made him feel comfortable. As soon as dad walked in he just knew it was the place for him. Everyone who works here is so helpful and friendly. I would absolutely recommend Oaks at Evans to others looking.

The community has a very accommodating and friendly staff. They want the best for the residents, and will go to the ends to make sure the residents are comfortable. The staff are very good to work with, if the family has questions or concerns. They are prompt in responding. I highly recommend the community to others.

My father received excellent care at Morningside of Evans. The staff are very compassionate and did an outstanding job caring for him. The residents and staff became extended family.

My loved one and I where very impressed with this community, the staff was very knowledgeable and answered any questions in detail that we had for them. I loved that there was a lot of natural light throughout the complex and the they had an open floor plan. It also makes it convenient for the residents that there is only one floor.

Overall, we are very happy with Morningside of Evans. Lately there have been issues with employee turnover. This affects my mother both in the care she receives, and in her overall well being. The staff become like family to her and other residents. That said, I believe they are working to solve the problem. We are hopeful things will stabilize soon.

My aunt and uncle stay there. It's real expensive. Care varies with who is on shift. Sometimes at night my aunt needs to get up, and it often takes two people to get it up, and sometimes there aren't two people there. They seem to be short of help, especially and on weekends. They always have activities going on. The location is really great for us, because it is five minutes from where we live. The food is not the greatest in the world; food quality varies and is not consistent. They rotate cooks.

Morningside Evans has been so nice. I will give more details on the emailed review.
