I wouldn't have my loved one anywhere else! The whole place needs some sprucing up, but the staff can't be beat. They are very caring and take excellent care of my mother.

My mother has had excellent care at Aspire Senior Living of Oak Grove. The staff is attentive, caring and kind. The activities director does an outstanding job of providing engaging and different activities for the residents on a consistent basis. Mom’s room is kept clean and all staff treat her with respect and kindness. My family and I are grateful to Aspire for the care they provide for my mom! The facilities are older but it is easy to look past that with the level of care and cleanliness the Aspire staff provide to their residents.

Despite what other reviews have said, I have had a perfect relationship with this care facility.From admitting my father with dementia until his final days, they have been nothing but perfect for my family and I. They took care of my dad like he was their own family member. Hands down the best place for dad to be in his final days. If I had to choose a place again for any family or friends I would definitely pick Aspire in Oak Grove. Thank you to all staff. You guys are awesome

Unfortunately, we were forced to use this facility due to them having a memory care unit. This place is disgusting! The CARE is awful! Certain members of the staff are very rude and disrespectful not only to families but to the patient themselves. We had to clean the room before my mom could even, go in the smell of urine was so overwhelming. They wanted to do nothing about it. Their memory care unit is supposed to be locked, but my mom got out four times. We had to pull our mom out of there after five days due to neglect and abuse. After packing up our mother and getting her home we went through her items, half of her stuff was missing. They owed my father a refund and we had to call over and over and over and get an attorney involved just to get the refund. Please do not leave your loved one at this facility EVER!!!!!! I can tell you there are no great facilities, but there are some that are better than others. This is not the place for your loved one.
