Missed meds and doses. No response to med change requests for almost a week. Scheduled 1 staff to pull meds that they require 2 trained staff for resulting in waiting hours extra for treatment. - I'm not sure if it's abuse or just plain neglect, but I could not in good faith recommend going to this facility. Addressing the problems with management, they repeatedly apologized for my feelings - versus the cause of the feelings which was their facility and lack of competent care or staff. They also did not communicate properly with the hospice providers to figure out who was actually responsible for various items for the patient/s involved - although they did have a meeting today almost 2 weeks later. Maybe they're trying to improve but it's too little, too late. All in all, a handful of exceptional staff but it's a trainwreck at the top. Wouldn't put a family member in there, maybe my worst enemy, but they probably don't deserve that kind of treatment either.

Oaklawn is such a welcoming atmosphere. The staff continue to go out of their way to support their residents in every way possible. The team works hard and continues to communicate open and honest!

I refuse to even refer to the nurses at Oaklawn as actual nurses. They are understaffed and more invested in their own personal lives than the lives and well-being of their residents. Horrible response rate! They will rarely respond to nurse calls within the first 5 minutes. They leave all of the patients (in the rehabilitation wing) in darkness after 7 p.m. That is no way to make an individual who is still very much awake and active feel at home. I would never have guessed that their vision is quality care and homely living after witnessing this.

I had the joy of visiting Oaklawn and it truly is one the best facilities I have been to. The staff is excellent - you can tell that they care about their Residents and go above and beyond to meet their needs and make them feel at home. The kitchen staff works to accommodate to people's likes/dislikes and any special food requests. The facility is fresh and clean. I highly recommend!
