Our father has been at The Oaks for about 3 months. His rehab has been fantastic and he is infinitely stronger than when he entered. The staff has been extremely helpful and understanding. They have taken wonderful care of him and he has gotten to the point where he can now go to assisted living. I cannot recommend them more highly!!

I wish I could give this facility more than 5 stars. My grandmother was there and she received the best care! From nursing, all the way to the housekeeping, everything was amazing. The staff is so caring and really takes the time to know and love your people, the food is great, and the activities are awesome. I would never recommend a facility other than this one, and anybody who is looking for a place for their loved one; you would make the right decision by choosing this one!
