Key Review Excerpts

The beautiful and newly-renovated Twelve Oaks is truly a treasure. As a first-time visitor I was struck by the incredible beauty of the wooded, five acre setting and “lodge” housing the dining and activity rooms. Staff was genuinely friendly and compassionate.

First-time visitor · 2018★★★★★

The picturesque grounds, indoor lounges, fun activities and warm inviting spaces are completely unique. Its a home that i would be proud to move my loved ones into and be a wonderful place for visits.

Prospective family member · 2018★★★★★

The place is really nice but the admin is like a total nurse Ratchet which ruins it and has very negative impacts on the seniors living there.
