Don’t expect your loved ones to be brought back to baseline. They don’t know what your loved one’s baseline is. Don’t expect your loved one to do physical therapy. They’ll be in bed all day. Or a wheelchair. Then they’ll fall when they get home because they can’t fully lift their leg over the doorstep. Expecting them to be taken care of in a timely manner? No, they’ll lie in their own filth until someone is available, because they’re understaffed. Don’t bring clothes either. They will lose them.

My sister spent over two months at The Oaks at Lakewood and the care she received was truly exceptional. While our family was initially skeptical — everyone has heard stories of neglect in care facilities, right? — The Oaks quickly proved themselves to be different. From the CNAs to the doctors on rounds, and every staff beyond and in between, the professionalism, warmth, and respect shown to my sister was unwavering. The administrative team was equally competent and supportive. It was clear she was never treated as “just another patient,” but cared for as an individual with dignity and compassion. There are too many names to name, and I don’t want to leave anyone out. However, every single staff member was an integral part of her team. The facility itself was spotless, and the food options were flexible and enjoyable — my sister genuinely loved the choices, including the optional sandwich menu and shrimp Mondays was always a special treat. While she never joined in on Bingo or Karaoke night or any of the recreational activities, it was a fun thought that she could. That level of dedication made her stay not only reassuring but also memorable. If I need care, I will consider leaving Seattle to stay at The Oaks. I am deeply grateful for the outstanding care provided. The Oaks in Lakewood deserves recognition for creating an environment where patients feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared for. I’m sure my sister was not an exception. (As a bonus, it was always fun to wheel sister outside to look to see if Milo, the cat happened to be nesting in his condo).
