I visited this facility

What I liked about Amber Oaks Assisted Living was it was independently owned and it's a small home. It had a very homey approach to care, the rooms, and things of that nature. The owner had a good philosophy about care for the residents, and I did like that. The facility needed a little bit of updating. I think some of that was just due to restraints of being able to utilize or order things as needed due to COVID. I think they're just trying to bounce back from that. It's not COVID-related illness, but just being able to purchase things that you need to purchase like updated furniture or things of that nature. The food was excellent and the residents seemed happy there. As we toured, we ran into folks who just were pleasant and seemed happy. We met with the owner on the particular day that we toured. I actually toured twice, so I met some of the staff first off. I wanted to go see it first and then take my folks to see it. It seemed like most of the staff had been there for a while, not like a rotating staff, but people who enjoyed working there and staying there. The only thing that was a little lacking was the updating of furniture in some of the common areas. Outside of that, it was a very nice place. They had an atrium that needed to be maintained a little bit better.

Amber Oaks Assisted Living is a nice location. It is close to my home so that I could visit easily. Everything seemed to be well presented to us. It looked like the activities were somewhat limited. They had a schedule of activities, but we didn't see anyone participate in anything other than just sitting around and talking. The facility was older, but it looked like it's been well taken care of. They had a salon and a library.

Provider Response

Thank you, Charles, for your honest review. I'm sorry you didn't get to see our residents in action. Come back for a visit on Wednesday for cornhole or one of our Bingo days. Our activities are planned around the average age of our residents, which currently is 88. We find the more active activities are better planned for mid-morning and mid-afternoon. We listen to our residents as to what activities they would like to participate in. Some like solo activities like reading, working puzzles, colorings/painting or taping their next Sunday's radio broadcast. Others like just sitting around and talking. The unfortunate truth is that many of our residents either have no family or the family doesn't visit or communicate with them very often. Being able to socialize with fellow residents, and sometimes another resident's family, plays a huge role in keeping the residents mentally sharp and happy. Impromptu visits by dogs, cats or bunnies, the visit of a great grandchild that lights up the whole community, and many more unplanned pleasures help fill our residents'day. Amber Oaks is not for everyone, but our residents call it home. Thank you, Charles.

I toured Amber Oaks Assisted Living. I spoke with the administrator. He took out a lot of information about all that we had going on and brought my parents in next weekend, so they could do a viewing and see what it is because they're out of town and they're about 100 miles from where I'm living. My tour was great. It was a very nice facility. I hope my parents are satisfied with it, and I hope it fits everything to their liking. I believe it will. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable of any questions that I asked. They were engaging with us and willing to help. They have apartments. What we were looking for was more like the one-bedroom apartment type, and that's what he showed us, and it was very, very nice. We walked through the cafeteria, and it was immaculate. The atmosphere within the room there was nice. They have a prayer room where they hold church services. If my parents choose to, they can attend that on Sundays. There's a small exercise-like room, and there's another room that's a library. They have a lot of stuff going on there for them. They have a courtyard in the middle of the place. If you walk outside, there are nice flower gardens. They have a raised garden set up for the people if they want to put some vegetables to attend to. It's very nice.

Provider Response

Thank you, Kelly, for the awesome review. We pride ourselves on maintaining a family atmosphere because in some cases, we are the only family a resident may have. Our caregivers, staff, and management are loving, very knowledgeable, and eager to please. And thank you for mentioning our courtyard. Our residents really enjoy watching and feeding the wildlife (rabbit and box turtles) and, with all of our birdfeeders, they enjoy bird watching. Not many visitors notice the cleanliness of our kitchen and dining room. Kudos to our great kitchen director and staff for recently earning an “A” rating from the North Central District Health Department. Amber Oaks Assisted Living Community may not be right for everyone, but for some we are the perfect fit, and our residents call us “HOME”.

Our tour at Amber Oaks Assisted Living was good and very informative. It's a very nice place. It's well maintained. The people seemed like they care about the people who live there. It looked like they try to treat them as individuals. I thought it was all good. The staff who toured us around was very nice and very informative. She did everything that you would expect. They have like a small refrigerator and a microwave in their little room in case they wanted something to heat up in the room instead of going to the dining area. The dining area looked like a restaurant. They had placemats and stuff at the tables. In the center of the building, you could go outside. There's the outside courtyard that's private. That's for all of them there. It's not an individual private courtyard; it's for the whole facility.

Provider Response

Thank you, Linda, for the excellent review. We are a loving family here and we treat each other as family. Your observation was spot on about treating each resident as an individual. Eash resident has unique needs and preferences so personal attention and support is what we provide. In return, our residents give us joy, love and a purpose to add years to their life and life to those years.

The people at Amber Oaks Assisted Living were nice, but the building is so awful and depressing. You walk in, and it smells. They wanted so badly to walk me around and show off how wonderful everything was, but it wasn't. You walk into the front entrance hallway, and there's just junk all over the floor. It was just dirty, and they could have changed the rug. It was just rundown. The staff that accommodated me was just wonderful. The man that evidently runs the place was just very very nice. There were no activities. Everybody was just sitting in chairs and watching TV; that was was it. The rooms were very tiny and sad. It meets the price. It's pretty cheap, and it matches how cheap it is.

Amber Oaks Assisted Living was a nice place. It was well kept, well maintained, and clean, and it had a very pleasant atmosphere. All the residents we met looked like they were happy. We only met a few of the staff, but the one who gave us the tour did a fantastic job. The administrator who spent some time with us did a fantastic job, as well. We met a couple of the other staff just in passing, and they were very nice and very pleasant. They made some chocolate pie that was fantastic. They explained how they do the processing and preparation of the food, and they make it primarily all from scratch, so it's not processed food. It's an older building, but it's still really nice and well maintained.

My mom has lived here for over five years and she loves it. We are blessed to have some place like this where the parent wants to go and we don't have to make them go.

This facility was one of the nicest assisted living facilities I have seen. The atmosphere was dignified and very comfortable. there are many activites and social areas for the residents and visiting friends and family. all the staff is friendly and helpful and willing to assist in any way needed. I could not find fault with anything other than it would be nice if the facility also had the ability to transition the patients from assisted living to nursing home needs. would recommend for any friend or family member.
