What Families Think

Most families describe warm, attentive staff and a clean, recently renovated building, especially in rehab, PT/OT, and long-term nursing care. However, a meaningful number of reviewers report serious lapses in basic care — delayed hygiene, wound and PT neglect, and poor communication — that stand in contrast to the many positive experiences.

The Good

  • Strong praise for physical and occupational therapy teams
  • Facility described as clean with no odor
  • Recently renovated interior
  • Responsive admissions and social services staff noted by name
  • Good for long-term residents feeling secure and comfortable

The Bad

  • Multiple reports of patients left in soiled diapers for hours
  • Several reviewers cite unsupervised patients wandering and touching others
  • One report of a wound worsening into amputation due to poor care
  • One report of a stage-four wound developing during an 8-day stay
  • One report of delayed or absent physical therapy despite requests
  • A few reviewers mention outdated rooms, small hallways, and urine odor at times
  • One report of difficulty getting timely callbacks from nursing, PT, and social work

I first wanted to say thank you to the staff at Oakwood. My brother has been a resident for 3 yrs. When I first read reviews I was scared for him to go here. It was during covid and he couldn't get the vaccine. No other facilities would take him. But Oakwood did. I was greatful for that. As time has gone on until present day. I have no complaints. The new head of operations Angelica is amazing. Everyone there is so happy because everyone is treated well and the residents are respected. My brother is happy because he feels secure. Thank you Oakwood for giving me peace of mind. ❤️

Due to unforeseen circumstances a very close loved one had spent a bit of time in the rehab center at this facility and the heartbreaking stories they came home with really pushed me to write this review. I would like to start by saying the staff is over worked and underpaid. There is absolutely no sense “order” when it comes to the whereabouts of patients who are mobile all hours of the day — so much so these patients are being touched and caressed by other unstable individuals without consent. On another note, the patient cleanliness is another BIG CONCERN that was experienced. Due to very limited bathing , diaper changes , and linen swaps it has caused Heightened health concerns for my loved one specifically and I could imagine for many others.<br>Let this be a lesson to do extended research even if it’s a short notice situation because nobody should EVER experience what goes on here!!

This place is extremely unprofessional. They let patients sit in their dirty diapers for over five hours, and they let random patients walk around while they touch other patients. I’ll be doing everything in my power to make the proper contacts and channels to get this establishment investigated.

This place is disgustingly foul. They have neglected my step father. Left him sitting in a loaded diaper for 5 hours. Have patients walking around at night touching other patients. Don’t bring your loved ones here. They need to be investigated immediately!!! It’s a shame how they treat our loved ones that we pay to be there. Whole entire place needs to get shut down. Disgusting non caring health care workers
