Oakwood Village Prairie Ridge Independent Living Apartments a CCRC in Madison, WI
4.0

The week day staff is compassionate and well trained and employed by Oakwood. The weekend staff is hired from an agency and the care and compassion is lacking. They are working on fixing this but claim there are not enough people interested in this type of work.

My mother is having a hard time adjusting to this community, but I do feel she is in good hands, This is a good community with kind people . The staff is kind, and trying their best to help her adjust. They have nice activities, and good meals available for the residents. They do a good job keeping the community well maintained. It is a nice community, and it would get my recommendation.
