Key Review Excerpts

“My husband stayed at Oak-haven for "Respite Care" and I can honestly say they treated him with the upmost respect. From the social worker to the cleaning crew. The rooms are on the smaller side for a person in a wheelchair but they all made sure my husband's every needs were meet.”

Respite care family member · 2024★★★★☆

General visitor · 2020★★★★★

“It's not perfect. The rooms are tiny because the building is older. The workers seem to care and attempt to do a decent job.”
