Mission Oaks

B.L.

My parents moved from northern Wisconsin to Mission Oaks Assisted Living about 18 months ago. My husband and I looked at many facilities, but when we walked into Mission Oaks we both looked at each other and said "this is it". The atmosphere was homey, and the many staff and residents we met were so friendly and welcoming. The best thing was that everyone seemed happy! My parents and our family were made to feel such a part of their family. Staff are so caring, and very quick to respond to questions or concerns. When my dad became very ill Mission Oaks and Cornerstone Hospice worked together to make his last months as comfortable as possible, and his face lit up with a smile when any of the staff came into his room. After his passing I thought it might be difficult for mom to remain there with all the memories, but as she says "this is my home, these are my friends, and this is where I am staying". She loves the many activities and socializing with her neighbors. We love that she is close by, as independent as possible, and most of all so happy!

Mission Oaks Senior Living is doing a fine job, but the food quality is not really good. I've eaten there a few times, but I wouldn't want to eat there every day. Other than that, everything is OK. The nursing staff seems to be very interested in caring for Mother. The CNA Mom has is constantly calling me and updating me. They seem to be doing very well with everything other than the food.

There is a place called Mission Oaks that was very nice. I was very impressed with this facility. Their activities sounded good. They had a lovely outdoor area for their memory care people. They didn't lock them down somewhere. They have a screened porch. They have an outside garden area, where the people can go out and sit outside, and they could take their meals outside. I was very impressed with the fact that they would allow their Alzheimer's/dementia people outside anytime they wanted to go. The lady that showed us around was very helpful and very nice. She had a lot of information to give.

We found one for my mother-in-law named Mission Oaks in Oxford. We looked at various places, and we decided that it was the right place for her. It wasn't a tremendously big facility, and it is all on one floor. Many of them have elevators, but she is 96 years old and unable to handle all of that. The food was excellent. They had us there several times for lunch and dinner, and they were very good. We liked the rooms. The rooms were a little larger than some of them. She is in an efficiency apartment.

My husband was at Mission Oaks for six months. I asked them if they would knock out a hole so that we could have two rooms, and they wouldn’t do it. Otherwise, I would’ve stayed right there. The facility was fabulous. They wouldn’t open up two rooms and put a pocket door in between, so we would have two apartments together adjoining. That’s why I went and put a deposit down at another facility. When he was there, he only had one room, and it’s all he needed. But for the two of us, I would want two rooms, where you can make one into a living room and one into a bedroom. The staff is friendlier than even here at where we are; there’s a difference in nature. The place was very clean. They had a lot of activities that my husband went to. I even went to some of them, too. They had entertainment, and they had movies. They would have a monthly birthday party with a buffet. Whatever they did, it was always terrific, and they had a bus that took you out.

My parents are in Mission Oaks. They have a small one-bedroom unit. There's a little refrigerator and a microwave. This facility does have activities for their residents. They do have movie nights a couple of nights a week. They have a little theater there. They have like a little soda shop place too. With regards to meals, my parents do get all their meals at the dining room. Their food is good. They have one special in the evening and at lunch time. They have a menu you can choose from. My dad loves it. The staff is very nice, very friendly and very helpful. However, I think they need more staff and nurses in that area. They need someone at their front desk later than 5 p.m. Right now, nobody is at the front desk after 5. They would lock the door at 8 pm, and if you come in after 8 p.m., you have to push a little intercom and hope that somebody is in the room to open the door to let you in. My father got locked out one night.

I visited Mission Oaks for a friend of mine's mother. This place was small and intimate, but clean and well-kept. The staff also were very friendly and kind. The food there was better than what you get in most restaurants. It was delicious.

So far, I want to say Mission Oaks is okay. The only thing is we're having a little dispute regarding the bill. We chose this facility because the fee they told us was all-inclusive for a dementia care. But when we got our bill, they added $500 to it every month and they said because dementia care costs more. We were never told that's what's going to happen. We even had to pay a $2,000 initiation fee even before we went in. So we are meeting with the administrators next week. Right now, I don't know if I'm too happy with them with the things that are happening. But I like the care that they provide my father. The facility itself is excellent and beautiful. They've got ice cream parlor and a movie theater. The doctors and the physical therapists are right there in the building. They have a shuttle service that handles handicap, which he is, and they can take them to their appointments. My dad says the food is so good. He said they have the best dinner rolls he's ever had. The services they provide were awesome, but we were told one thing and then something else happened with the billing cycle. Hopefully, we'll get that straightened out. My dad's been there since October.
