I cannot begin to express what an asset the staff are to this beautiful new facility. From aides to management, no task is too bothersome or beneath them. They are an excellent team that work long hours and face many obstacles with a positive attitude and team commitment.<br><br>As my parents are entering this scary world of assisted living, staff have been accommodating, addressing concerns in a timely fashion, and taking on challenges with a smile. I am very thankful for The Oasis of Holt.<br><br>Update: As I have gotten to know staff more and see how the day-to-day goes, I still am happy with the Oasis. They are still new and there are inconsistencies in level of dedication from staff (as would be expected anywhere). I think as they figure out best practices and develop written procedures things will come together.<br><br>Key staff have been 1) Kim, who always goes the extra mile to ensure a room is perfect before she leaves; 2) Julia, who reads my mom’s mood and always ready to give her a hug and reassuring words plus handled dad like a pro when he had a delusional episode; 3) Kelsey, who is always helpful and smiling; 4) Nancy, who helped us get mom and dad situated, addressing all concerns; and 5) Katelyn, loved by all the staff for her joyful interactions and participation in activities.<br><br>Residents don’t want to be in assisted living. Most want to go back home. But these employees have made the transition much better.
