The Oxford Grand Assisted Living & Memory Care

The Oxford Grand is a new facility. They're probably 2/3 full. My mother moved there on the first of January. It's memory care attached to an assisted living facility, but this thing is ready to explode. They have a 300-acre site right there, and they have a plan to fully develop it. They're going to have independent living and long-term care. I was impressed with the facility. The layout is very nice, it's in big squares. I have looked at the engineering. The heat has not been sufficient, and the heat is not yet fixed. They need to replace the furnaces. They're running on portable heaters, and I have complained. It's a 1-bedroom. They have a very nice dining hall with extended hours, and the residents order from a menu. They have meals in the room. My experience is that they're still tooling it up a bit. My mother is 5 feet tall, and the cabinets were 21 inches above the counter top. She could hardly reach the handle along the shelf, but they came in and they redid it. They lowered it at first, and took the door-closer off because she's on a walker. They try as hard as they can. The staff is very compliant with the resident's needs.

The Oxford Grand is a great place. The whole staff is really nice. They're helpful: you can ask them anything. They have lots of activities, and with the warmer weather coming, they have more that they'll be doing outside. They're going to have outdoor movies on the deck. There's a little lake there that they can fish in if they want to. I've eaten up there. The food is really good. It was a chef from a prominent restaurant here in town who went over there and worked. It's like a restaurant setting; it's not like a care home setting. It's a really nice place, but pricey like all of them. They have all types of care. Right now, it's assisted living. They have a memory care facility there, and I think they're getting ready to build independent living rooms. I would recommend them to anybody.
