Key Review Excerpts

The new Admin Eshauna is just what the Oaks need. DeeDee does a fantastic job as well. The CNA staff treats my Dad really well.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

I want to express my appreciation for Eshanna. She has been extremely helpful whenever I’ve called to check on my father. In the past, I’ve struggled to get clear information or timely responses, but Eshanna has changed that completely.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

The facility may be small and old, and at first glance may not look like much. But it's the staff that make this facility a 5 star in my opinion.
