I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My dad moved into The Atrium at Oak Crest Residence. The people that work there have been really great. They're friendly. Whenever I had issues or things I needed to bring up, they addressed it right away. So, it's also relaxed. And they're always making sure that my dad is getting involved with stuff. He's not just sitting in his room. So, it feels like a small community. It's not a huge facility, so it feels like everybody knows everybody and they know what's going on. And I can talk to whomever, so I think it's been good. The facility is clean. There's an older part and a newer part, and it's well taken care of. But it's not like fancy or anything. So, it's a very basic place, which is fine. It's what my dad needed. So, if you're looking for something fancier, this isn't the place, but it is a good basic facility. It has a comfortable and laid-back atmosphere.

I visited this facility

We toured The Atrium at Oak Crest Residence. We were hoping that that this was where my sister-in-law could go. They had a more controlled situation. We obviously were able to discuss her health needs with the facility, and they were willing to work on her specific situation because they had another resident who had the exact same diagnosis she had. They were willing to help her live independently in an apartment type situation, instead of a memory care situation. There was an understanding between all of us that she probably was being too heavily medicated for her condition, and this is what has caused a lot of her problems. The facility was very nice. It's a not-for-profit. It's not like they're out to get you. They also stated that they work with people towards end-of-life or when money go south. They're not quick to throw you out of the facility. It was quiet, and it looked like a very calming place to be. We looked at the independent area and went to the memory section of the facility. The memory section is an older part of that building. We spent the most of our time in the independent section. The rooms were very nice and very spacious. There were single suites, double suites (for husband and wife or mother and daughter). It had a very nice kind of apartment feel to it or your own little place. It was very clean and very up-to-date. It's a very nice little facility. The manager was the one who spent the time with us to talk about the facility and showed the whole facility and the kind of things that they could do. She was extremely helpful. She gave us a complete booklet with pricing, just everything about the actual facility itself, and about the doctors that come in to the facility. It was very informative. They offer a lot of really great amenities. The two dining rooms that they have were very nice. They have a pub in the lower level of the building. They can go down there and have a meal and hang out with their friends. It's a big opportunity for them to try the dining room or go to the pub and enjoy the meal there. The staff was very informative and very compassionate, and that's a big deal.

Our visit to Oak Crest and Atrium Apartments was very nice, and the people there were very nice. It's just that the place was smaller than we wanted. We saw the place and talked to the people. They have a nice community dogs and they accept pets. There was nothing wrong with it, but it was just not a good fit for us. The staff seemed very nice, they were friendly, and also informative.

I visited this facility

We were not impressed with Oak Crest. They did not have a 2-bedroom, but they offered two 1-bedroom apartments side by side. They were very small, there was hardly anything in the kitchen, and you couldn't fit a table in there. The living room and the bedroom windows were the only windows. However, I was impressed with their basement; they had a room that's like you're walking into a pub, and they had a huge screen TV and a gourmet kitchen that was available to the residents.

Provider Response

Thank you for your visit, your comments are taken seriously. One point to make here however, is that the best reviewed feature of Oak Crest is our food, its service and its quality. The need for cooking facilities within an apartment is overshadowed by the meals and many food venues that are included in the monthly fee. There is no extra charge for the Pub you mentioned, there is no problem with special requests and there are snacks whenever you feel you would like one. We would love for you to reconsider your assessment and take another look with the knowledge that cooking for for oneself is not the priority here and there is more than meets the eye with our personalized care and family atmosphere.

The people that showed me around Oak Crest Residence & Atrium Apartments are very nice and accommodating, but there was just something about the place that didn’t appeal to me.

I am a friend or relative of resident

I can't begin to put into words the gratitude and appreciation I and my family all have for the wonderful care my mother receives. You know and do things that are special to her from smiles to rereading letters from family to sharing words of care and a helping hand during meals. The list could go on. You have become part of our family
