The Oaks

I live in North Dakota so I don't see day to day living. Mom is happy there. Mom is diabetic. She said there is not a lot of choices for her. She also said the portion are small. Mom is on a fixed income and depends on the meals.

We chose The Oaks because it looked friendly and inviting right away in the front door. The manager seemed as interested in my wife and I and what we were looking for as the sales person My only problem experiences have been with corporate so a good question might be: Is the facility primarily run by a distant corporation or do on site managers have some discretion in making day to day decisions for their unique facility?

For meals, sometimes the food portions are too small. Many people like that, but I eat a lot. There are many different activities. The value for cost is excellent.

I'm no longer at the Oaks. I have moved. The managers treatment of people, the smoking throughout the building and rigid cafeteria hours with poor quality food made my decision to relocate. The assistance Mgr was great, but the head guy was rude, unresponsive and completely ignored concerns. Since leaving along with 5 others I heard he had improved.

I want to say it's wonderful living at the Oates. We just couldn't be any better placed. It's it's just wonderful. The people are wonderful. The grounds are wonderful. Our apartment is great. We just feel at home. Thank you so much to all the hard workers. Everybody there is just they you can count on them for help and they are just wonderful people.

Good experience. Very little to complain about. Make sure your mother/loved one is in on the choice. We picked this community because it was mom's choice.

I was fortunate enough to meet up with [name removed] at the Oaks when searching for a new home in Independent living for my Brother. [name removed] and her team made the transition for relocating my Brother out of state to The Oaks and all the excellent amenities offered by the Oaks and their preferred vendors. Once my Brother arrived a quote apprehensive about the the lifestyle, but quickly became acclimated to the Oaks and enjoys the food and opportunities. I recommend the Oaks and enjoy visiting my Brother and working with the Oaks staff.

My mom LOVES The Oaks, she is very happy here! It's a beautiful place with a great staff! My Mom moved in in January and already they've done many special things, Super Bowl, Mardi Gras (they had live jazz with a special dinner) Valentine's Day (harp player with a fancy dinner) She has really enjoyed the community! They make it a fun place to live.

We picked this community because we liked that the managers live on the premises. It's the least expensive and the best facility. They have five-star meals, in which they serve three times per day. The food is like a five-star restaurant. They offer activities, such as; Bingo, and our favorite is chair volleyball. They also have baseball, and the bean bag game. I would recommend to other families.

Everything was 5 star from the moment we walked into the facility. It has been an absolutely wonderful experience - it has been a God send for my sister. We did not even have to tour anywhere else because it was so perfect. We signed the papers that day and she moved in that night. They were able to give us a great move in deal that we could not pass up. The facility is very clean and they are cautious about covid, there have been very little cases there. We got to sample the food the day we went to tour and it was salmon, it was incredible. The managers live on site at the facility so if you ever have any questions or concerns they are right there. They also serve the meals so you see them daily and they are very hands on. The chef then comes around after dinner to serve coffee and you get to give him feedback on the meals. They set it up so feedback and communication between staff and residents flows nicely. She has loved all of the residents, they all have great life experiences that they love sharing about. She is socializing and doing the activities that they have provided. We could not be more happy and would highly recommend The Oaks to others.

I would like to see food options,with less sodium. Other than that, the food is fine and well balanced. They have a corporate chef. They offer a good variety of activities, such as yoga, cards and chair aeorobics. You get your moneys worth, and it is well worth the money. The amenties is a plus, which includes sheets, pillow cases, towels, and weekly housekeeping, which is helpful. Other communities, that I saw seemed to be more in-closed. I chose this place because, I like the open spaces, large hallways, design, and architecture. I also like the dining area, which is very open.

They have been extremely accommodating at this community and very personable with my loved one. My loved one is a quilter and likes to sew and they did not have these activities. Once they found out that my loved one had this interest they set up a whole sewing room and that made my loved one feel great. This community includes all of the meals and the value from what all other things I have seen this seems like the best.

We fell in love with the staff right away and knew this was the place. They know everyone by name, they know what is going on in their life, and they are just so caring. It is a very Christian atmosphere and we love that. The apartment sizes meet his needs perfectly, he is on the first floor and he does a walk out patio. The food is great, he gets a menu to choose from and the meals are chef prepared. They do have raised beds where the residents are able to garden if they want to. They provide transportation and have a very comfy movie theatre and many other activities to participate in. We have been very pleased and would definitely recommend them to others looking for independent living. The only drawback is that if he needs medical help in the future then he will have to find another place to live because it is completely independent.

I like everything about this community no negatives and I would recommend the community to others.

The food is really good its just the hours that they serve food, the lunch and the dinner are to close to each other so they only end up eating once due to not being ready to eat yet. Due to this we are buying groceries and that is one down fall when the community provides all that we need.

The staff is very conscious of the residence's needs. Communication between the staff and me is very good. They keep me well informed and return calls back in a timely mannor. I would recommend this community based on my experence

The food is very good there and we really like that all the managers are on site. So they are there all the time and it makes you feel like you can talk to them and ask questions whenever you want. We would recommend the community to others.
