What this means for your family

Twelve Oaks is an excellent choice if you are looking for a facility with a deeply compassionate staff and specialized memory care security.

Key Review Excerpts

Twelve Oaks Assisted Living Facility provided exceptional care for my mother when she was evacuated during Hurricane Helene. The staff went above and beyond to ensure she felt safe, comfortable and cared for during a challenging time.

Family of resident evacuated during hurricane · 2024★★★★★

We chose Twelve Oaks (The Memory Care Unit) and we're so glad we did. The staff are very nice and look after her well. They have implemented several security measures for the residents safety, which eased our minds greatly.

Memory care family member · 2023★★★★★

The staff are absolutely amazing and care about every resident as if they are family. When my grandmother was in end stages dementia they cared for her and us better than we could ever ask
