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★★★★☆

“Oakhaven is a beautiful facility in the heart of Darlington. The staff provide excellent care to the residents and patients while maintaining the safest environments. Their therapy staff is knowledgeable and compassionate achieving strong outcomes.”

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.”
