Early in January, I was faced with finding an assistive living placement for my elderly aunt. She had been discharged from her rehabilitation facility and didn’t feel ready to return to her home. I had a very short window of time to secure a safe, comfortable space for her. Since I live 300 miles away, this was not an easy task. After calling several facilities and finding no openings, I found there was a possible place at Oak Gardens. Although Jen, the director of marketing was out of town for a conference, she called me after hours and said she could help…and help she did. Because logistics were a big challenge, she put a team together to actually go to my aunt’s home and physically move some furnishings and essential belongings to Oak Gardens Place. Along with a few of my friends and relatives on the ground, Jen’s team got her settled into her new surroundings within two days. Since the moment she moved in, she has been very well cared for. The staff is very attentive and friendly. Anytime I call with questions or concerns, my calls are returned in a timely manner. Today was another example of how Jen and her team go above and beyond. My aunt had received a couple of sizable checks and planned to endorse them and send them to her bank by mail. This concerned me because of possible theft and or fraud. Jen agreed that this could be risky, so she agreed to deliver them to the bank personally and have them deposited. What a relief to not have to be worried about that all weekend! Honestly, I could go on and on, but the bottom line is I feel absolutely confident that my aunt is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I would highly recommend Oak Gardens Place.

I've had the pleasure of working with Jen, the Director of Sales at Oak Gardens Place. She is extremely knowledgeable and truly cares about the residents she helps move into the community. The facility is clean, and the staff are always so friendly. Highly recommend!

My mom has been living at Oak Gardens Place for about 5 months now. She is adjusting well. The staff are very caring and friendly.
