Oak Park Place

I toured this facility and it was a nice place with lots of activities and in a good location. You had to pay several hundred dollars to put your name on their waiting list, which would go towards the first month's rent if you moved in.

I had a great tour experience at Pak Park Place Madison. The facility is clean and from what I saw is well run. They had a mix of independent living, assisted living and memory care offered.

The facility is clean. And the staff is addressing my mother's needs.

They really try and involve the community and their decorations are beautiful. The facility is very nice and clean and always decorated. As far as improving, on the memory care side, I have seen no activities with those residents. And with memory care it may be difficult, but they have puzzles on a shelf but I have never seen any open. There is very little interaction with the residents. They seem to just send everyone back to their rooms after mealtime. On the other side, assisted living side, they have several activities that residents can partake in like exercise class, bingo, a boat trip outing, but nothing in memory care.

We had a positive tour experience with Oak Park Place Madison West Nakoma. Unfortunately they would not take my loved one though, they said they were understaffed and did not have enough people to care for his needs.

My sister spent nearly 3 weeks here under hospice care before passing away. As is the case with so many places these days, they could use a little more staff, but the staff they do employ were caring and kind and took good care of her.

I would recommend you check everything out thoroughly. The community has good activities for the residents to participate in, if they choose to. The medication management has been good for my loved one. I believe the community is giving one bath or showers a week. I believe they are trying their best is assisting my loved one with dressing.

It is a newer community and despite the struggles with staffing they are really doing a good job - for instance sometimes our loved ones laundry takes awhile to get done but its not a big problem. The director is fantastic and every time we call the day to day staff are always very responsive. Our loved one really enjoys the meals and dining service. He really likes the convenience of the transportation that they offer.

The community was good; however, it was too expensive for us overall.

We had a good tour with Oak Park Place and almost went here. We hired an agency to look into facilities and they told us they were having major staffing issues here at the time.

I think there is a range of caregivers from the very good to the mediocre. And that's to be expected anywhere I think. The administrative staff have been very willing to listen to us, and that's important to us. And all in all, we feel that our family member is safe there, and that's what really matters. She's not crazy about the food, but I know they're working on it. They have a new chef, and they're reworking the menu to be more senior friendly. And they seem to offer a lot of activities.

It's a newer facility with friendly staff. Like any other place right now, they're struggling to get staff. So yo might consider bringing in help with care. But I don't fault them on that with the employment situation the way it is right now. They have a lot of activities and a pretty steady schedule.. At least once a month they have an outing, for instance they've recently gone to the botanical gardens. They have Bingo every week, Catholic services weekly, crafting, different speakers coming in. We were very appreciative when they allowed my father to bring his trainset and set it up in a common area so he could run his trains.

Our family had an in person tour and Oak Park is a wonderful facility, and normally on the tour they allow the families to eat meals the residents but since it was during covid they packed us up an evening meal to take home and we thought it was very good. However our big concern is the activities are all on different floors, and if our loved one started having memory loss we did not want to have to worry about them getting lost.

My loved one loves it here. The community hyped up a bunch of things they would do, and their promises aren't being upheld. There is no housekeeping or laundry that is being done properly or returned properly as well.

Our family was able to have an in person tour and the experience was good, we got a good look at everything inside. The community seemed very clean, well kept and organized. Only reason we did not choose Oak Park was the value, it was pretty significant.

Facilities were newer and very clean. [Name removed] was very personable and willing to help. No studio apartments currently available. The staff we observed seemed somewhat disengaged. Care level fees were more reasonable than other facilities we toured. We decided that Oak Park Place was the best fit for our loved one. We look forward to moving her there by the end of the month!

Nice Place but not enough staff to assist my loved one.

The community is a nice place. Due to the pandemic it has been completely different than when our loved one moved in. It is coming back around. It is a nice, clean place to stay. My loved one complained about the food a bit. There was a few changes in chefs.

We would recommend this community to others
