Oaks Senior Living

Last year their sprinkler system broke and flooded multiple units. Many were displaced for months with no communication or care from The Oaks. Currently the water has been shut off for days no communication or info to residents. Days with out toilets that flush, showers, or drinking water. Not a word from The Oaks. If you have a senior who you love please do not send the here this is a huge bait and switch scam and you will be sorely disappointed like we are!!

My experience at this community was anything but good. PLEASE LISTEN! Throughout my stay things quickly took a turn for the worst. The first thing my family and I noticed was that the management team is very disorganized and does not do anything in a timely manner. Meals & Activities hardly ever start on time… The care staff has a lack of compassion when taking care of residents. The food is worse than prison food. Caregivers constantly yell at each other down the hallways and fight in front of residents. Most caregivers sit and play on their phones all day. There is absolutely no accountability from the Executive Director in holding employees responsible for their actions. A few months ago I told my family I wanted to move to another community. We decided it was time to move on from this horrid place. I am at a different community now and much happier. I do not recommend the Oaks at Post Road. Especially with the current management and caregivers that are there. Go elsewhere!

I am a visiting caregiver. I have been to this facility many times and have been in the field 20 years, Although this has always been a nice looking and feeling place, my most recent experiences here have been horrible. The staff yells all the time non stop at night and early morning. They act like they own the place and not like this is the residents homes. They are loud and disrespectful. They do not knock before entering rooms. They need some serious management and teaching. They need to actually care and they don’t care about anyone sleeping here. Worst part is families don’t know because they aren’t here late nights or early. I’m listening to them now like they are partying. Talk and yell less, and work more.

My aunt was here for awhile in memory care. It was not a good place for her. There really wasn't enough activities in memory care. Seemed to sit around mostly. We ended up moving her elsewhere. She seems much happier now, which makes us much happier. I can't really provide information on the other section of the Oaks as we only were involved only in memory care.

This place is a nightmare. It's beautiful on the outside but behind those doors is another story. My mother died at this facility last year. She suffered more than she needed to because of the errors and lack of descent personnel. It was a nightmare to see her suffer so much. They have lost so many staff and residents over the last six months. So many staff left because the new owners didn't seem to care about the residents. Even after my mom they still didn't get there [removed] together. My step father is been getting some terrible care so he is moving out real soon. I just pray that another family will not have to go thru what we did. Please please keep an eye on your family if there are there.

My mother recently left this facility and we did not have a good experience. There is not enough staff for the amount of residents that are there. The food is not that great and the place is filthy. The carpets are stained and i have seen bugs in the dinning room before. The staff always seemed to be changing as well. They tell you a lot of things to get you in the door and get your money, but they don't deliver. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Too small, studios, bad odors, OUT

Be very aware of their physical therapy services. Their staff will tell you they have had your PT approved and your copay total will be a "nominal amount " and give you a price which is not even close to the ridiculous bill they send. Then they try to tell you your insurance is out of network. ( The same one they say was pre-approved.) I would advise residents to get PT outside of this facility.

This place is a joke. No supervision on shifts. Bare minimum of staff. 8.00 hr employees. Critical falls constantly. Mgr was fired from last facility due to gross incompantance. Go on a regular basis and see for yourself. You want lto write a check for 5600 for a bed and don't care about your mom or dad go for it.

My family had a very unpleasant experience at this facility. My mother had become completely non-ambulatory and had to move from the personal care home her & my father lived in because they were not licensed to care for non-ambulatory residents. The staff from the Oaks facility, including an admission RN, came and evaluated my mother. They said that they could definitely care for her, were licensed to care for non-ambulatory residents; and accepted her, So, we paid the monthly fee and moved both our parents here, After 6 days, they inform us that they will no longer care for my mother. They now say she is too hard to move (weighs 135 pounds). They then refuse to get her out of bed. They informed me that she had to move immediately. My family had to hire private personal care givers to get my mother up each day & care for her until we found alternative living arrangements. This was a very difficult and stressful time for our family. It saddened us to put my parents through this. The site manager and the owner agreed to refund our community fee but in the end never did. Overall, this was one of the worst experiences of my life.

We toured this facility. Pretty on the outside. Was not at all impressed with the inside or the resident rooms. The rooms are dark, only 1 small window in bedroom. We decided this was not the place for our dad. As a side note, the lady at the front desk was rather rude and unfriendly. Did not have a good feeling here.

I visited a loved one over the Memorial Day weekend, and I could not believe how much this place has changed since the new owners came in. The place was dirty, trash was over flowing in the room, food from the day before was left in the room, and the smell was sickening. My loved one had not showered in days. It broke my heart to see this happening. We have since moved my loved one out of there. Please do not put your loved one through this.

My father in law resided at Gracemont for the last three years. My mother in law died at this facility last year. My wife was always fighting for good care. I recently visited my father in law. I had to fix the wheelchair in his room. Within about ten minutes I was so sick to my stomach by the smell of urine. I went into the bathroom and it was even worse in there. The floor in his bathroom had not been cleaned in so long. I just couldn't believe how bad it was. My mother in law suffered so much more than should of her last ten days of her life because of all of Gracemonts errors. It would take almost an hour to get her medicine. Really hard to watch. Please look for another facility

My step father had to be moved out of Gracemont today because of lack of good care. So many days he would still have his dinner from the night before on his table at 11:00 am the next day. By this time the food is really stinking. He is still laying in bed and had not even gotten up. His bathroom stinks so bad because it never gets cleaned. The hospice nurse saw these conditions this week and couldn't believe it. We are just so tired of fighting for good care.

My mother resided at Gracemont from Aug of 2012 until January of 2014. In November of 2013, my mom began having very frequent falls, staff was very inconsiderate when these incidents occurred. Her health began declining very rapidly as well. We decided to move her to another facility (The Oaks at Post Road). We moved her in January 2014 due to the lack of care, incorrect meds being given or meds not being given, dirty rooms, poor quality of food, as well as frequent staff turn over. My mother passed away in May of 2014, and I truly believe she would not have lived until May if we had left her at Gracemont. The Oaks at Post Road was an answer to our prayers, I just wish I had placed her there in the beginning. Please do not place your loved one at Gracemont. ADDED JULY 2014 - To the Executive Director of Gracemont Assisted Living. I know you are a new director at Gracemont, because I saw 4 directors come and go between 8/12 - 1/14. Your response to my review is alarming, because you have not truly been there long enough to know what has and continues to go on in your facility. I have written documented dates, and times of incidents that happened within your facility, with documentation where I discussed these concerns with staff. As well as, written plans from the staff to resolve issues, unfortunately, these plans were never implemented and problems continued. Its a shame that such a nice looking facility on the outside is such a disgrace on the inside.

Please don't put your loved one in this facility. My mother died in this facility. It was such a nightmare. Gracemont does not lack beauty but it lacks compassion, good care, and cleanliness. Our family prayers that no one else will go thru this. When the new owners took over everything changed. They need to hire more staff to take care of patients better. They have a lot of problems with distributing medicine. I don't think they have the right people distributing it. Please do not move your lived one in the facility. You don't want to live with the guilt that we do

Please do not put your loved one in this facility. They are so under staffed and the competent staff they had has left. We waited for over a hour for someone to come and help my mother, and no one could be found. Her medication was found on the floor, the rooms are not kept clean and the food is terrible. Since the new owners came in, everything went downhill fast. There is not always someone answering the phone, so it rings and rings. The even cut the number of outings they do for their residents, probably to save money. It also smells of urine when you walk in the front door. Will be moving my father out of there. Beautiful on the outside, but don't be fooled.

During the time my loved one was at this facility, the quality of life went quickly downhill. Medications were given incorrectly or not given at all due to the facility not getting the meds refilled and even filled in a timely manner. Staff to resident ratio is terrible. When you need help, no one is ever around.. Staff does not communicate with one another in order to know what is going on with the residents. Staff is very reactive and not proactive at all. Constant excuses for problems instead of trying to resolve the problem. Rooms are not keep clean, due to lack of staff. Overall experience with this facility is Nice Dog and Pony Show, but not at all what it seems upfront. Price is one of the most reasonable in the area, I guess you get what you pay for.
