Types of care available in Red Oak, TX
Senior Apartments
Staff know our dad and seem to care about him for the most part. Minimal turnover amongst caregivers, leadership has changed 3 times in 13 months. Kitchen staff and maintenance staff have also turned over. It's good for the value. Newest manager seems to be making positive changes.
My complaints would be that management doesn't follow through on complaints. And, the new grandchild swimming pool rules. For example -mon-fri/11-1pm only. No Sat. Sun, 1-5. The pool is not over used at any time so many grandparents who were promised open swimming are disappointed. Since I plan to live at the Amberlin for a while, i prefer my name not be published
