What this means for your family
The facility is highly regarded for its warm, family-like environment and excellent food, particularly under recent management. However, because there are historical reports of serious facility maintenance and hygiene issues, we strongly advise you to perform an unannounced visit to inspect the cleanliness of the building and observe staff-to-resident interactions firsthand.

51 reviews on Google“Oasis of Clarkston, formerly known as The Pines of Clarkston, is widely praised by families for its warm, home-like atmosphere and dedicated staff who treat residents like family. While the vast majority of reviews are glowing, citing excellent food and attentive care, a small number of critical reviews raise serious concerns regarding building maintenance, hygiene, and staff professionalism. Families considering this facility should look past the overwhelming positive sentiment and conduct a thorough tour to assess the current state of the building and staffing levels.”

Key Review Excerpts
“The Oasis of Clarkston is a wonderful and warm place for your loved one when they can no longer take care of themselves safely in their own home. We've had my brother-in-law there for a year and a half. He's happy, cared for and loved.”
“Well managed, small facility with a core group of wonderful aides who are amazing with my mom. She's been there for almost a year and a half, and we have not had any concerns or issues.”
“If I could put zero stars I would. There are bed bugs, the plumbing is so messed up the toilets back up and laundry for the residence can’t be done. It‘s so dirty there are flies everywhere.”
