Key Review Excerpts

Never gave my mom medication on time, did not give her a bath on the scheduled days, not very prompt when they tell you they going do something.

Memory care family member · 2025☆☆☆☆

I have been to many care facilities, and Oak Grove is the cleanest that I have been in. The facilities that I have been in always smell like urine and Oak Grove does not.

Visitor · 2024★★★★★

Asked for pain med at 10:45 AM, received it almost 3 hours later. Staff picked up expensive shirt with laundry, but it was never recovered.

Both RN and total nursing hours are below national benchmarks. This can mean less clinical attention per resident, so ask about their staffing plan.
