Spring Oak of Toms River

We are pleased with the care my brother is getting at Spring Oak. It includes weekly housekeeping and laundry as well as meals and medical care. I don't have an opinion about activities because my brother doesn’t like to participate, but he does go on any bus trip that is offered.

Spring Oaks has been great for my mom. They take care of her, and she always has something to do throughout the day. She is surrounded by lots of people.

Spring Oak of Toms River was wonderful with my husband in every way imaginable. I never worried about his care or emotional well being when I wasn't there. Sadly, my husband recently passed The staff, in Memory Care, treated my husband with respect and concern during his stay. I visited many places but this particular facility was top notch and extremely affordable for NJ!

For the money it's not bad. I know there are much more expensive places, but she couldn't afford those. It was good that she was able to stay at the facility when she went into memory care.

Soring Oak is wonderful for my mom. The rooms are spacious, and the facility has an airy feel. The staff is caring and I feel mom is taken care of well. Mom loves the activities and has made friends. She says the food is not the best. Sometimes it's good, sometimes not do much. That's the reason for the four stars. Otherwise, Spring Oak is great community.

So far, 5 for all categories, although I've never placed a parent in assisted living before, so I don't have anything to compare against. Staff is friendly when I've visited. They communicate well by phone as needed. The place has a positive feel to it. Amenities offered in memory care are fine, although my father and other residents use only limited amenities due to their condition. Room is sufficient, and he spends a good deal of time in the common area.

I think my mother's situation was not typical, so I won't judge them on things they couldn't do anything about. I think in general, the facility was good. I would recommend them. They went above and beyond when my mother first got there. She was combative, and they worked through that even though they did not have to, and that is a quality you won't find everywhere. From what I could tell, they worked hard to engage the residents that were mobile with outings and entertainment. The food seemed good. The staff was a mixed bag, but overall pleasant enough.

Good place for elders.

The staff is friendly but the care of medications given when they are supposed to and a shower that is scheduled to be done twice a week is no longer being done! There are no activities for the Memory Care residents they sit in their rooms all day in front of the tv or will rarely walk up and down the hallway! All 3 meals are delivered to the room so interaction is minimal

Our experience from sales to move in to day to day care for dad has been very good. [name removed] from sales was great in showing us Spring Oak and how it operates. [name removed] one of the aides from the memory care floor is very special. Dad likes her and how she takes care of him.

The staff is friendly. There are always activities going on so there is always something to do. Dad would like to see more options on the menu. The studio apartment is the perfect size for dad.

The community is friendly and inviting . My mother is happy there . We chose Spring Oak because of the 1 year spend down option . Few facilities offered that option .

The facility is very nice. Clean. Doesn't have that "assisted living smell" that some others have. They have recently redone a bunch of the areas. The staff is phenomenal to work with. From the director, to the nurses, to the woman at the front desk. Everyone is eager to help and happy to answer the million questions we had. I would absolutely recommend Spring Oak of Toms River.

Spring Oak of Toms River is a great place for respite care. As far as the food goes, I think they need more choices available to the residents and it needs to be served warm.

I picked this community because it's very close to my house, and I can drop over anytime of day. It's very friendly people that work there.

My sister was a resident at Spring Oak of Toms River for 13 months. She was happy with the accommodations except for the poor internet connection. She was frequently knocked off the Wi-Fi and internet. It frustrated her since she communicated via various computer/iPad apps and social media.

The staff at Spring Oak of Toms River go above and beyond. They will always respond very quickly to my emails. I don't get updates unless I reach out. The housekeeping is good. However, it is an older building, so some areas look a little run down. I know the meals are well balanced, but my loved one doesn't like the food. I would take that with a grain of salt, though. I would absolutely recommend this facility to friends and family.

[name removed] at the front desk right as you enter through the community is terrific, so pleasant and helpful everyday. However the meals could definitely improve, but we would recommend Spring Oak of Toms River to other families.

Overall experience has been positive . My Main criticisms would be that they seem to be understaffed . Workers are diligent but they are very busy. Could be more organized . A lot of things are scheduled through the front desk reception area where communication needs to be better .

Everyone is friendly and helpful. For the food, I do think that they could maybe have a few more choices for the residents to choose from each day. I would absolutely recommend Spring Oak of Toms River.
