What this means for your family

This facility shows strong potential due to recent management changes and a very friendly community relations team. However, families must closely monitor staffing levels and communication regarding medical changes, as past reports of understaffing and lost items are significant.

Key Review Excerpts

The management team and support staff care deeply for their residents and are always willing to help their residents in receiving acceptional care & assistance!

Resident's family · 2024★★☆☆☆

Spring Oak is a beautiful community with fun activities and loving staff. There has been a wonderful and welcome change in management and ownership recently that has greatly improved the whole culture and environment.

Prospective resident's family · 2023★★★★★

My mom was a resident there for about 2 years, passing in November of 2022. It was such a mixed bag of some good helpers and some terrible helpers. They were understaffed, had very little security, there were numerous lost and stolen personal items, and miserable wait-times for assistance.
