Not very informative on Parkinson’s disease<br>Staff should have continued training on how to handle specific situations- especially the director so they can help staff as the disease progresses<br><br>A lot of the info on the web page is outdated as far as staff - what else is missing I wonder??

We needed additional support for my father in law. Without hesitation I phoned an old friend who recently purchased Oakley Place in Topeka. From the first visit with Tristan, moving in and the great care tat he receives every day, it has been a great experience. Thank you Tristan and to your staff, for taking such great care of our dad. If you are looking for a small family like environment for your family look up my friend Tristan Willits. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

When I think of “home” I think of Oakley Place. I walked in yesterday and the smell of homemade supper consumed me! Homemade potato soup with all the fixins! Care staff along with new ownership, Willits family is all about making sure everyone is well cared for and nurtured. LOVE! Go check them out!
