Our 98 year old mother was at Oakwood for about 6 weeks. The staff there was exceptional. Everyone was so very nice and the physical therapy was fantastic. The food was very good and plentiful. Mom was there after an accident so I don't know what they charge. Our thanks to everyone there for taking such great care of our mother.

I had a stroke and without the help of the professional therapist and entire staff, I would never be anywhere I'm at now. Their motivations and encouragement made it happen. I'm forever truly grateful. I'm glad to say that I'm discharging home better than I was when i came in. If i ever need therapy and/or placement in the future, there's only one place to go...and that's Oakwood. Thank you all.

Everybody in this facility, from the nursing team to the rehab team took really good care of me. A simple "thank you" doesn't cover it. I'm glad I came here and if I had to do it again, I would still choose Oakwood. It's going to be hard to leave. The staff are kind, considerate, and thoughtful. Thank you all so much.

I've been a patient here for two months and is preparing to discharge tomorrow. My experience here has been good. This is my first experience in a skilled nursing setting. The therapy team here is very good and I highly recommend this place for those that need rehab.

There's always a good, bad, and ugly but there's a lot of positive here at Oakwood. The therapy team is awesome. They're very attentive and caring. They push you to the limits. The nursing staff is good, as well as the food. Sunny from admissions made my stay worthwhile. She always made sure I was well taken care of. I would highly recommend this place for those who need rehab.
