About Oak Wood Place Assisted Living

Oak Wood Place is an assisted living facility in Athens, Texas, offering multiple levels of care for seniors who need extra help in their daily lives. The community is operated by the Daniels Family, who have served Henderson County's health needs for over 50 years and established Oak Wood Place over two decades ago as a locally-owned senior living option.

The facility features upscale private apartments and cottages set in a country-like environment, with lovely grounds that include outdoor areas for walking and sitting. Residents enjoy chef-prepared meals made fresh on-site, and the community emphasizes activity and engagement, with trained activity staff organizing games and social events while maintaining social distancing practices.

Oak Wood Place is staffed by professional caregivers who are committed to the community, with management and staff who live and work locally rather than as part of an out-of-town corporation. The focus is on treating residents with dignity and respect while providing quality care tailored to individual needs.

The community's location near Athens provides convenient access to restaurants and shopping while maintaining a rural setting away from heavy traffic. Residents have noted that the two-bedroom options offer sufficient space for family visits.

The quality of the food served has gotten worse and the portions are smaller. They run out before everyone is served but some people get double portions leaving others to do without. Very disappointed because I usually supply homemade food to make up for it.

I only hear amazing things about Oakwood and after having seen their Facebook page, I know that they truly go above and beyond to make sure every person that they're accountable for is comfortable, happy and taken care of. They have a lot of fun activities and help so many people. Big hearts, great staff!
