Posted on Behalf of Natalie C.: I’d rent a room here permanently if I could. Everyone who works here is for the other guy and not for themselves. Everything from the food- you can’t get a better meal in town; the people- they can’t do enough for you and it’s not just one or two of them, it’s all of them. This place is expertly run. Oh and the dogs, I love the dogs.

I attended Oceanside for back rehab and the whole experience was very good. The staff is competent and very responsive to any request. Everyone working here is upbeat which seems to influence the attitude of the residents of being happy. Food is pretty good with a varied menu. Even hot dogs from the outside grill. The grounds are special with a beautiful back garden and nice walkway with manicured lawn. Lots of activities. Long front porch and lawn from which you can feed the turkeys. I loved this place and would recommend to anyone.
