Key Review Excerpts

Every single member of the staff cared for her like she was a member of their own family. They became like family to us.

Family of a former resident · 2023★★★★★

The facility is very clean and kept up with. You will often see maintenance consistently working on projects or updating things. Her room was often cleaned and taken care of.

Grandchild of a former resident · 2025★★★★★

I had a incident that required me to go for short term rehab but after I was done, I realized I could not return back home independent. ... I chose Oakwood Residence and since arriving a few months ago I am now very happy I did choose to come.
