I am so grateful to my friends who recommended Royal Oaks Inn to me! I am a family doctor who retired from my private practice 3 years ago in order to care for my wife. She suffers from FTD. Unlike Alzheimer's, FTD is a form of dementia that mercilessly strikes younger adults, first taking away their ability to reason, consider consequences, and empathize with others, and eventually to communicate and remember. Even with my knowledge of the disease and over 30 years in practice, I was no longer able to adequately care for her at home. So, last September, I was fortunate to be able to find Royal Oaks Inn. Holly, Brandon, Lucia, and the entire staff at Royal Oaks Inn have been life-savers! The care they give comes from the heart. Unlike the "mega-corporations" that own and run most of the facilities in our area, Holly and Brandon put their hearts and souls into their "mom and pop" (or, "sister and brother") home. Instead of investing in marble entrance ways rivaling the Four Seasons or the Ritz Carlton, Holly and Brandon have put their resources into building and nurturing a staff who love their residents. The result is an environment where residents are and feel safe, cared for, and loved.
