Sharon O. 2019-05-29 My mom has been at the Oasis for almost one year. This is the perfect place for her to be. The owners and the staff take such wonderful care of her. They are all very polite and friendly. They have constant activities and play music that my mother benefits from. We appreciate all that they do. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Ann Marie 2018-05-25 My dad is at Oasis at Dodge Park in Worcester, MA. He has been there for just over one year. We are grateful every day that he is in Oasis. It's the most AMAZING care facility I have ever seen. He is treated with respect, kindness, dignity, love and compassion every single day by every single caregiver. The place is brand new, beautiful, open, immaculately clean, fresh, and like a 5 star hotel. The activities are well planned and well staffed. His room is beautiful and uncluttered. The staff and owners are fabulous. The owners even give you their personal cell phone numbers to call it anytime. The food is good too. My father is very happy there. He had some health issues that have resolved since he's been there. Of course its late stage dementia why he has remained there but some smaller health issues and diet issues have all resolved. I'm happy because we checked out a number of other places before we found Oasis and some of them I would have rated straight across 0, straight across terrible or whatever it may be or in different varying ranges but Oasis is straight across 5 stars for everything. We are planning that this is his home permanently. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Hampton P. 2018-05-10 Oasis at Dodge Park is top quality rest home. They treat their residents with dignity and caring. They go above and beyond for their residents. Their staff is A1. Superb! A 5-star staff. They take great care of their residents. I can't thank them enough how they take care of my mother. The atmosphere feels like family. Every time that I go up there, the staff is interacting with the residents 100%. They treat them like they're family. The aides treat the residents like their grandparents. They respect them and they treat them great. I have no complaints at all. I've tried the food, and it's good. It's very diverse and seems to be healthy and what the residents are looking for. The residents have no complaints that I know of. I'm very pleased with the place. It's all about my mother, and they make it all about her. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Lisa 2018-05-04 The care at Oasis is amazing. The staff is very personable, knowledgeable, and compassionate. They have plenty of activities going on to keep the residents busy. The entertainment that they provide is amazing. There's live entertainment every Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. There's lots going on there. We've eaten there before. Throughout the summer they have cookouts for the family every single month. The family always feels welcome and comfortable when you go to Oasis. It has high ceilings with lots of white chandeliers. It makes the residents feel like they're in their own living room. It's beautiful. They have beautiful outdoor area, courtyard, picnic tables, umbrellas and benches outside, birdfeeders everywhere outside the windows, so the residents can see the birds. They have birds inside, too. I think anybody looking for a facility for a loved one that needs memory care, Oasis is a top choice! I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

TeamPapa 2018-05-03 The Oasis is a beautiful facility. The common areas are bright and open and the rooms are spacious. I am at facility once or twice a week and it does not matter what time you go, you are always welcomed with a smile. From the door monitor to the nursing staff, to the health care workers and cleaning and cooking staff, everyone is friendly and responsive to the needs of the residents. Numerous activities are offered daily often including live music and a wide variety of food options are available throughout the week. We had cared for my father in our home for many years prior to thinking about a rest home as we couldn't meet his needs any longer. I wanted a place that felt like home with a staff that surrounded him with love and a high level of care. I truly feel we have found that at the Oasis.

Judywsings 2018-05-02 My 93-year old mother became a resident of Oasis at Dodge Park six weeks ago. Her dementia had been significantly increasing, and the assisted living facility she was at previously could no longer manage her care - i.e. incontinence, combative behavior, not sleeping at night, challenges with ADL's. Within three weeks, the outstanding staff and resources at the Oasis figured out what was causing my mom's behavior [UTI, medication issues], and now my mom is clean, groomed, happy, eating, sleeping, and participating in a wide variety of activities. And she's playing their baby grand piano! She's always happy to see me, and I am extremely grateful to Micha, Ben, Carrie, Renee and the amazing staff at the Oasis!

SusanMW 2018-05-02 My family and I were extremely happy with the care my Mother received. From the moment she was admitted her care was exceptional. Every staff member treated her with dignity and compassion. The facility is meticulously cared for, meals are well rounded and the dietary staff go above and beyond to accommodate the most picky of eaters. The rooms are decorated tastefully with views of the courtyard or front of building. Residents have multiple activities throughout the day. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Pats2434 2018-05-02 My father was in this facility until he passed, and my mother is currently in this facility. Of the many places my parents were over the years, this is far and away the best. While it is clear the building is new and top notch, the staff is what sets it apart. All the staff love the patients and provide amazing consistent care. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

S. Atkins 2018-05-02 Extremely caring staff. Wonderfully engaging entertainment and activities by visiting performers. Lovely, bright, welcoming facility. Facility is always clean, staff members are always working, and engaging constantly with each resident. Heartfelt compassionate staff members who appear to work together as a team for the benefit of each resident. Regardless of individual's abilities, the staff engages each resident as they are able and feel comfortable. Family members are always welcome at meals, for visits, entertainment. Owners of the facility are as involved as the staff, knowing each resident as an important, vital individual, and interacting with them constantly. Laundry is clean, individually identified and put away for each resident. Rooms are organized and kept neat and orderly. Safety and well being of residents appears to be the number one priority. Private space for family birthday: visiting. Beautiful grounds and outside (safe) areas for sitting - and cookouts and entertainment. Holidays are all marked with decoration and activities. Our family looks forward to, and truly enjoys visiting, and also allows us to feel confident that our mother is well cared for and safe when we leave.

Ann 2018-05-02 Oasis at Dodge Park is great. We really can't say enough good things about them. My father was there almost a year. Everybody was very nice to him and even to my mother. My mother was almost around every day and they did everything for her also. The place was very clean and the food was very good. The value was comparable to other places too. Micah and Ben are terrific. The people that took care of my father were exceptional too, even the people in the food service and everybody in the office. The compassion they have for the people that are in there are just tremendous. It was Easter time and one caregiver just spent the whole time being there and talking to the resident because a family of a resident didnt come. I love them! I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Diane A. 2018-04-13 I have not one bad thing to say about Oasis at Dodge Park. I only have praise. My mother was in a home before she went to Oasis and she did not get close to the care she gets now. She's improved tremendously since she's been in Oasis. She's never going to be good but compared to what she was, she's fabulous. The facility is brand new. It's bright, cheery and on one floor. They don't have to walk up and down the stairs for anything. I ate lunch with my mother more than a couple of times and the food is good. The staff is very attentive too. I have 100% communication with them even with the slightest thing that happens to my mother. They call and notify me right away, it doesn't have to be a fall or anything. It could just be anything. They let me know if anything beside the ordinary happens (which I did not have previously with another company). One day they called me and said that there was soup spilled on her. Now, I dont think any places do that. I was flabbergasted and VERY happy. There's always somebody there. The administrators are there ALL THE TIME. They'll take time to talk to you anytime. I email with the nurse thats on the floor frequently to ask her questions because I'm in the Florida and that's in Massachusetts. So for me its important to know that where my mother is she's being cared for well. I know that she is because in October of last year my aunt passed away. I had to fly back to Massachusetts. Now, no one in Oasis knew I was going back to Massachusetts because it was a last minute thing. I walked in the door and my mother was clean, fed and her room was neat. She was also out in the activity, just the way I want to see her - WELL CARED FOR. And that was a complete unexpected visit because they could just wash her until I came back and check in. I call also and talk to my mother. They get her the phone or we try to Skype on the computer but that's a little more difficult. I mean I'm able to communicate as much as I can with my mother and the communication with the facility (both the nurses and the management) is outstanding. They have MANY activities everyday even on the weekends. They bring people in from the outside. I was there once and they had a magician. They also have music, drumming and exercise. My mother is busy all day long even at night. There is not much time that they can sit in a chair and do nothing unless they so choose. They inter mix everybody. If you're one that can't get around very much you're still part of the activity and can still participate as much as you can whereas where my mother was before when she get to the point that she couldn't do a lot for herself, she sat in a chair all day. It's a little more expensive than other places but its worth every dime. I can't say enough good things. They have never once disappointed me. It's wonderful! I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Bob C. 2018-03-29 My brother has been at Oasis at Dodge Park for over a year now. It's been a wonderful experience. The facility is magnificent; it's like a Marriot Hotel. It's very clean. The staff and ownership are terrific as well. They're very much involved so they're very progressive. The food is good and my brother likes it. There's entertainment for all residents on an ongoing basis. There are activities both in the morning, afternoon and also on the weekend. Theres musical entertainment and they teach all kinds of classes. They do a wonderful job to get the residents to participate. I think it's a tremendous value for what the cost is. To sum it up, its a wonderful place! I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Philip C. 2018-03-27 Oasis at Dodge Park couldn't be better. My brother had to be in this situation and those people are tremendous. They are the most hands on owner I've ever seen in my life. Ben and Micha are on site all the time. We couldn't be happier! They care about people. I'm very IMPRESSED. Theyre A+ across the board. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Donna 2018-01-13 Dodge Park Rest Home was older, darker, and had two different levels. The rooms were gloomy. However, the staff was very good. The owner was very thorough during the tour. There was a party room in the basement and someone was having a birthday party for one of the residents. Their family was there, so they were very happy. I visited this facility

Judy D. R. 2017-10-02 The staff at Oasis is unbelievably wonderful. They are consistently kind, patient and caring. The facility earns its name-- it is an oasis of calm, bright and lovely. I am very, very pleased with the decision to move my mother there. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

APRose 2017-09-07 The Oasis at Dodge Park is not only a beautiful facility, but full of love. The care that was provided to my father and now provided to mother here is top notch. I could not say enough about how much support I feel from all of the staff here and how great they are at communicating to family members and caring for their patients. My mom was previously in a different home, and moving her to Oasis was the best decision. It is clear that the care she is getting is so fantastic -- she has even made incredible changes in her behavior that we thought were not reversible. I am lucky to have my parents supported by Oasis. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

judy bath 2017-09-06 7 months of having my mom here and truly can not find any faults-clean, well staffed, good nutritious meals, pretty environment, many activities, outside events-owners are frequently in the facility-on top of medical, emotional issues- I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Jane Ann 2017-09-06 My family member has been a resident at The Oasis for several months and we are more than pleased with the care she has received. I am a retired registered nurse and was looking for a facility that would provide attention to the details of her individual needs on every level. I have not been disappointed. The Oasis management and line staff are sensitive, professional and dedicated to the residents and their families. I highly recommend Oasis to others like us who need to know their loved one is safe and well cared for at all times. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Doris91 2017-09-06 I visit my mother at The Oasis at Dodge Park almost every day. I am so thankful that she is in such a caring facility. NO matter what time of day I visit I am always impressed with the level of care and concern shown to all the residents. I applaud the entire staff for providing a safe and loving home to all the residents. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Jeanne's kin 2017-09-06 There cannot be another Home that cares for it's residents the way the staff at Oasis cares for my mother. The entire staff including nurses, aides, servers, etc. know the residents by name and treat them with kindness and respect. Hugs are freely given to all! Ben and Micha are there every day and you can tell after talking with them for just a few minutes that this is not just a business for them. They are deeply invested in the lives of the residents. I give the entire team and enthusiastic five stars! I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

judith170501 2017-05-27 The atmosphere is beautiful at Oasis. It's a gorgeous facility that's very light. You don't feel like you're in a skilled nursing home, rest home or assisted living at all. It's just a beautiful space, and I really think that that's the space that affects people and visitor's mood. The staff is very friendly, very caring and very responsive. The care so far for my mother has been excellent. They seem to know how to handle her, what her needs are and what to do with her. She does not participate much in the activities but they do have varied activities and activities going on all day. And you know staff are there looking out after the residents all day. The food seems to be good too. My mother's room is also very nice. It's a single room with her private bathroom. It's well furnished, very bright and cheery. She has a wonderful view of Worcester. She can see Indian Lake and that's very nice. Overall, I am very pleased with the care. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

janet772764 2017-05-23 Everything gets a 10++ at Dodge Park. They're kind and welcoming. It's also clean. All the caregivers are not lazy. They're kind and always up doing something. Everything runs smoothly there. Each of them takes special care of my mother even the lady who does the laundry and the servers. Mom has a very nice room which looked out into the backyard and the pond. I've eaten there a couple of times and it's very good. I mean its good food but its institutional food. They're more than nice. They have dogs come in once a week, yoga and music and tai chi from the outside. There's always something going on. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Beverly218164 2017-05-01 My mother, Roberta is the resident of Dodge Park. The atmosphere is fantastic. It's not even like a nursing home or anything like that. It feels like you're in a 5 star hotel and everything is state of the art. The caregivers are phenomenal. They're very attentive to all of my mom's needs and all the other residents' needs. There are quite a few residents there right now but it doesn't feel like that because it's just so spacious, bright and clean. The food is fantastic too. It's not a sad feeling when you go visit her or like leaving her there because you know she's safe and well taken care of. She sometimes participates in activities. Mom is not necessarily like the one who participates in bingo or things like that. She just sits in the sun, rests, does her cross word puzzles, reads magazines; those type of things. But there are plenty of things to do there if she wanted to partake in anything. We visit her almost daily so we see a lot of activities going on. They have crafts, games for the residents and exercise classes. There's always live entertainment like a guitar or piano player during the weekends or special holidays. Last week, we had a family Easter dinner. Family and friends join the residents last Wednesday. We were all served with food and desserts and there was a guitar player for a couple of hours. They always seem to cater to the residents and the family just to make us feel like one big family. She's happy there. It just makes it feel like she's at home. I really have nothing to say negative about it at all. I will give them 5 stars or definitely higher. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Dorothy 2019-05-17 We visited Oasis at Dodge Park. My dad stayed there for a little while, but we didnt like it there, so we took him home. It was very nice there as far as the looks and the food go, but there was a lot of staff turnover, and a lot of different stories. We asked them to call us if he was acting in a certain way, but when we got there, hed been fighting with them, looking for us, and nobody had called us. The rooms were nice, but one of the problems was that somebody had come into his room twice and pooped all over his bed, and there was also poop on his chair. We thought that it was a nursing home, but we found out it was a rest home when we had him in there. They had a lot of outside activities which was nice. A lot of people would come in and sing, they would do exercises, and they had activities all the time. Inside the building there was a hairdresser that would come in and a dentist. The kitchen staff was wonderful. There were five of them. Its $13,000 a month to stay there and just to get in there you have to pay $26,000 just to get a room -- first and last month's rent. So a month would cost $30,000. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Jean670148 2017-04-18 Oasis at Dodge Park is a very caring community. They provide excellent nursing care for my mother, even from the non-nursing personnel as well. I think my mother is in a very safe place. She's in an environment that encourages people to thrive and her needs are very well met. I think that people there go the extra mile and not only provide excellent care but provide compassion and love to the people. I am a nurse case manager and my mother is a nurse. There's certain aspect to it that's very important to us when we're deciding for the best place for my mother. We had to make the decision that we as a family can no longer provide that level of care that she needed in our home. The dining staff is very attentive to my mother's needs too. She has a very specialized diet. They want to make sure that the food is appropriate for her. I don't eat the food very often there but she is doing very well with the food. I think the food is very healthy and nutritious. We're pleased because she's eating the amount that she needs to have so that's good. I will give them 5 stars and I have absolutely no problem doing that. I have seen other facilities as a nurse and as a care provider. I think that what the facility offers for people is something more than you're going find in other places. The fact that the owners have provided a place that's not only beautiful but a place where people with memory loss can feel open, alive and can thrive in the environment. It's not a place for people to sit there and wait to die. It's a place where people can continue to live with vitality. The other thing that I love about this place is that the owner has gone so far as to incorporate programs like music therapy and arts therapy. Some people might look at that and say "Why would you spend the money on that, these people aren't going to remember it, right?"" But they do it because they understand that the clients are living in a moment. They celebrate that and all of the client's needs are being met there, not just physically and cognitively but also emotionally and spiritually. I can walk into this facility and feel that I'm part of this whole experience too. I really try to let other people know about it because there are standards that I have as a nurse when I walk into a place. But I'm not just a nurse when I walk in there, I'm a daughter. I need to know that when I leave, my mother is well cared for because I can't provide that care for her anymore. That's why the decision was so difficult for any daughter to make, to allow somebody to have the privilege to care for their mother who's worth it. My mom is worth everything so it made our choice easier because we knew that she's being cared for with love there. There comes a time for children when they have to make a difficult situation as to the best environment for a parent to be placed so that the right level of care can be provided. My family and I really feel that my mother is getting that care and that it's a great source of comfort to us because we don't have to worry about the care that she's receiving. She's getting more than what she needs. It's a place where she can thrive and that's what we wanted for her. We feel fortunate and blessed that we found this place for her. I hope more people will find out about them and be able to bring their parents there. It's been a great comfort for us. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Daveallen 2012-09-30 Everyone seemed generally friendly, the facilities were clean and well kept, the staff seemed to have a good grip on everything that was going on. When I visited I was promptly brought to my grand parent. He very much enjoyed his stay there and said that it was one of the better homes that he has seen. He was taken out because I now care for him at my house. Overall the home was great and very nicely ran. I am a friend or relative of a resident

jk1 2012-05-07 I've visited the place when we we're looking a place for my mom, though she still stays home at this time. The place is a good type for a faciliy, well-run, and nice type of people. Nursing staff and a medical director, were available 24-hours a day / 7-days a week. Definitely a place we'll be considering in the future. I visited this facility

Sharon605571 2016-06-10 For the most part, they did good in taking care of my husband. The program that they do is good. I like their chair exercises. It would be nice if they have some variations on their activities. My husband likes the place and the staff. The staff has been wonderful and helpful specially with his speech therapy I visited this facility

Caring46041 2013-10-30 Dodge Park is very much geared to support residents with dementia and Alzheimers. My mom really likes it there. She loves the food there too. She thinks the company is well - managed. It's really a good place. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Mary66129150 2013-04-30 When I first determined that my husband had dementia and needed to be taken care of, I looked around the city for an adult day facility. I went to visit them and some of them were in basement of churches and people just sat around the table. Some of them didn't start til 9 o'clock and I work and needed to be at work by 7am. When I went to Dodge Park, it was very homey. It felt like you were going into someone's livng room. The adults that were there were playing games and working on projects. I saw a big difference in other adult day facilities. The activities were varied. They do some active things like yoga and bowling. They have scuplturing and painting. They also have word games and card games in the afternoon and singalongs. I like it there because there's a good variety of things. Some of the things my husband would say he doesn't like but then something would come up that would catch his interest. I really like that. The staff is very helpful in letting me know what I could do to help make my husband be comfortable and for him to have a good experience there. I am/was a resident of this facility

Dorothy15 2013-04-30 I'm 77 years old and my husband is quite disabled. It was a help for me having him in Dodge Park part time. I also need to keep my social contacts as well so it's been very good for both of us. The program there is excellent. They have a variety of different things which are therapeutic and socially helpful. He goes 3 times a week. My husband was always a very social person and it was hard for him not to see people all the time. By going over Dodge Park, he meets new friends and enjoys their company. He enjoys all the activities they have. There's something different everyday. Most of the things they do are not only enjoyable but healthy in one way of another. He has a movement disorder so getting him to do things like painting and sculpting really helps his movements. He's able to do more. It makes him feel like he is able to do something. I am/was a resident of this facility

Betty Ann1 2013-02-28 My mom's case manager told me about Dodge Park. So I went there with my mother, and immediately I know it was the right place. They're very one-on-one. They really care about her, they love her, they will actually hug her and make her feel she's with her family. We go three times a week, but she gets up and gets dress and thinks she's going to Dodge Park every day. She had a little bit of stranger anxiety during her first week. It was a little bit difficult even though she enjoyed it there. But they try to keep the activities structured. They give us a paper calendar for the month. They have art every day, Friday mornings they'll bake, and then there are certain days that they just do chair exercises. So they have a lot of music which they love and have them really moving. They let them do the best what they can. I love the place. It's been great ever since. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Nancy27 2013-02-28 What really impressed me the first time I went to Dodge Park was just how warm, friendly, and caring everybody was. Everybody's smiling and it feels like home. My mother go there once a week. People always seem to know who she is when she walks in. They address her by name. People are very nice and good to her. We just started in December. And although sometimes she's not overly optimistic about her situation and feeling pretty down, she's smiling and always in a good mood when I pick her up. So she's happy there. The place doesn't feel like an institution. It feels like going to a friend's home. It's a nice warm feeling. I'm very happy. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Kathleen2 2013-02-28 I didn't really know much about Dodge Park. I went to visit a lot of adult day centers, and there isn't a program around has the kind of flexibility they offer. The people are very caring. They have a lot of entertainment that comes in. They keep the residents busy. They play ping-pong, they do bowling, bingo and a lot other activities. The food is great, and it's probably the cleanest place you'll ever walk into. It is spotlessly clean everywhere. That's why everybody think so highly of it. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Diane10 2013-02-28 The day club at Dodge Park is excellent. The people who run it, Debbie and Kate, are absolutely wonderful. Thea, the activities director is excellent. The people are happy and everything was on time. I would usually pick up my mother around 7 o'clock to take her home. They provide a lot of activities for people with dementia. They care about the people. We've been working with them for over a year now. They are really good. The place is always very clean. Even the people who take care of the cafeteria or dining room are doing a good job. My mother said the food was good. It's also a secure place. I am a friend or relative of a resident

isik23 2020-02-08 Our mother was recently placed at the Oasis facility after stay at assisted living, in metro west area. From there she end us in a connected snf memory unit. We were very upset with the care. We contacted the owner Micha Shalev who visited and screened mom and reassure us that mom will be well taken care. Mom moved into the oasis 3 weeks ago and we are very amazed on the different. The facility staff are very friendly, accommodating and supportive. WE are so amazed how well the care is organized. Mom is having a great time and enjoy all the activities at the facility. I am/was a resident of this facility

DWCook 2020-02-04 My mother moved in the first month that Oasis opened. She had been in assisted living elsewhere which was no help to her at all. She ended up in the hospital with a UTI. Just by sheer luck, the social worker at the hospital recommended Oasis. I was skeptical at first, since the assisted living facility had been so hard on my mother's condition. But, my skepticism was proved wrong. Oasis delivers on the care 24 hours a day. Before long, my mother was smiling again and the nurses, social worker, and caregivers monitored her closely. As she needed more care, they anticipated and met the need. Throughout the entire 3 years she spent at Oasis, right up until her passing, she received excellent care. I would highly recommend Oasis at Dodge Park to any family with a loved one suffering from dementia. Like me, they would not have to worry that there loved one is being looked after 100% properly. I slept very well knowing my mother was there. The key to the excellent care is the fact that two owner operators of Oasis are right there every day. This active management and the right number of carefully selected staff members allow them to deliver on the care 100% every day, 24 hours per day. Every staff member there knew my mother and cared about her well being. Anyone with dementia would be LUCKY to be a resident at Oasis at Dodge Park!

Kmorey1895 2019-09-17 Imagine my disbelief when I first found out that my sister had early onset Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, it became painfully apparent when she was only 55 years old. For several years we couldn’t figure out what was going on, she had restless nights, forgetfulness, memory loss, and she always wandered off, causing a panic and sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. We tried having her live with us for a while, but if you are reading this review you know that sadly, it is extremely difficult and a 24-7 commitment. We made the decision, drove around and visited and evaluated dozens of facilities. Some were very nice looking but the staff seemed unresponsive, others felt like sterilized wards, and the worst ones are the ones that have that distinctive odor about them. If you are currently looking at different places you know the smell I mean. The second we walked into the Oasis we knew that we had found a home for her. As strange as it seems, it reminded me of being on a cruise ship. There was someone playing the piano and staff and the people they serve were singing Sweet Caroline. Now that doesn’t happen all the time, but there are regularly scheduled activities at the Oasis. Some of the people served cannot move around much and don’t sing, but if you watch their feet you will probably see them tapping to the beat! The very first time we entered into the Oasis, unannounced, for a visit and evaluation we were pleasantly surprised both owners Micha and Ben were there. Micha took around for a tour asked questions about my sister and gave helpful suggestions about care facilities. He gave us a book that he has written about dementia. The most moving moment that I experienced with the Oasis was when my sister had to be hospitalized for a short period of time, at a hospital miles away from the Oasis. I walked into the hospital and imagine my surprise, I bumped into Ben one of the owners he had driven miles away just to check on and visit with my sister. I choked up. You are not going to find that attention level at any other placement… The nurses are always present and are usually within eye sight of most of the people residing there. They are friendly, experienced and supportive and they are always in contact when something changes or my sister has had a bad day. Now my sister has her favorite nurse, of course, but it would not be fair to mention her here, because all the nurses are fantastic. Oh, did I mention that they have a dental hygienist who goes to the Oasis, and a Psychiatrist, there is hairstylist, a yoga instructor and many other people. Some of the most important people in my sister’s day however are the staff. They all know her by name and always say hello. Most of them are upbeat and will probably put a smile on your face when you go to visit the Oasis. I have gone in there a little grumpy before and walked away grinning. They work hard genuinely care about the people they serve and their families. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Nora P. 2019-07-04 We are so lucky there is a facility like The Oasis. The space is beautiful, the staff are wonderful. All patients are out and about in the facility and are not living in their beds. There are activities through out the day from games to entertainment. Residents participate what they can. Sing along or sit quietly and enjoy. I am forever grateful my mother in law is in their care. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

D.C. 2018-05-15 Excellent! Oasis at Dodge Park provide much more care than a regular assisted living. They have RNS now. My mother is given medication that she needs. She's seen by her doctor regularly. She has Alzheimer's. Also, a geriatric psychiatrist comes down on a regular basis. They're good on medication, so she's up every day, she's bathed, she's well-dressed she gets 3 meals a day. I have been there, and sometimes I'm always there when there's a meal. I had the meal myself and it's delicious. It's owned by two private owner/operators that are right there on staff every day. I looked at dozens of assisted living and other care facilities. It just happened they owned one across the street that's called Dodge Park Rest Home, and it was just opening exactly a year ago. My mother was one of the first to move in. It's a beautiful facility. Compare to the place that she was before, this home is better. Her symptoms are constantly changing and they're monitoring and changing the medication. She's incontinent at this moment, but they still managed to keep her well-dressed and make sure she's changed within at least an hour. I'm very impressed. I am extremely fortunate to have found it. The two owners make an effort to know all of the residents and their families. They go out of their way to make sure that any concerns are taken care of right away.

thomas805211 2017-05-17 My mother has dementia and it was just getting worse and worse that we couldn't care for her at home. I heard about Dodge Park advertised on the radio and I wanted to see what it was about. When we came and visit, that affected me and my sister because it looked like it's everything that we wanted for her. I think it's incredible there. I can't imagine that any facility similar to this is going to treat residents better than they do. If we had any concerns (which we haven't really) you speak with them and it's done right away. Honestly, I don't know what I could really say bad about them. I see the owners every time I go, which I go quite frequently as much as my sister but she's there a lot also. The owners are always checking on things and making sure things go right. The nursing are fantastic and friendly too. They're always trying to keep the residents busy and active as they can. They have all kinds of activities that they do with the residents. I never t thought I'd see my mother participating but they got her to participate. We heard a lot of nightmares about places and we were very hesitant to place mom anywhere. She's very independent; she's a nurse manager for 40y ears. She has dementia but she still has presence of mind at the time. I work at a hospital and I see a lot of care, the amount of time and patience that they give to the resident is awesome. In addition, the food is really good. We've done Christmas, Thanksgiving and we just did Easter. Even last minute I show up, say I want to have breakfast with mom or some days that I show up into the service and if I am hungry and wanted to eat anything, they're quick and they'd give me whatever I want from the service. They never don't ask from a full meal to a casual meal. They always ask or it's always offered. Her room is big and beautiful. Sometimes, I get there early in the morning and everything is neat. Shortly after she's out of bed, the bed is made, the trash is emptied and sinks from the counter is clean. There's also a big, shared bathroom. The sink there is always clean, it never smelled. That is the other thing I'm worrying about because I know a couple of people who has been in nursing homes. One thing that I've noticed in a lot of nursing homes is the strong urine smell. Here, never. It never ever smelled anything even when she started across the street in the older building with a lot more people in the smaller area or when we moved her over to the new building when they were taking new residents. Moreover, the other thing that me and my sister really like is the way they monitor with the chairs and the beds. She's very independent and she likes to do things on her own so if she tries to get up, it'll alert them right away so there are no worries. It's just fabulous.

My mom has been at the Oasis for almost one year. This is the perfect place for her to be. The owners and the staff take such wonderful care of her. They are all very polite and friendly. They have constant activities and play music that my mother benefits from. We appreciate all that they do.

Provider Response

Thank you Sharon for a great review. It is our pleasure to care for mom with such wonderful family behind us. Thank you for trusting mom care into our hands.

My dad is at Oasis at Dodge Park in Worcester, MA. He has been there for just over one year. We are grateful every day that he is in Oasis. It's the most AMAZING care facility I have ever seen. He is treated with respect, kindness, dignity, love and compassion every single day by every single caregiver. The place is brand new, beautiful, open, immaculately clean, fresh, and like a 5 star hotel. The activities are well planned and well staffed. His room is beautiful and uncluttered. The staff and owners are fabulous. The owners even give you their personal cell phone numbers to call it anytime. The food is good too. My father is very happy there. He had some health issues that have resolved since he's been there. Of course its late stage dementia why he has remained there but some smaller health issues and diet issues have all resolved. I'm happy because we checked out a number of other places before we found Oasis and some of them I would have rated straight across 0, straight across terrible or whatever it may be or in different varying ranges but Oasis is straight across 5 stars for everything. We are planning that this is his home permanently.

Oasis at Dodge Park is top quality rest home. They treat their residents with dignity and caring. They go above and beyond for their residents. Their staff is A1. Superb! A 5-star staff. They take great care of their residents. I can't thank them enough how they take care of my mother. The atmosphere feels like family. Every time that I go up there, the staff is interacting with the residents 100%. They treat them like they're family. The aides treat the residents like their grandparents. They respect them and they treat them great. I have no complaints at all. I've tried the food, and it's good. It's very diverse and seems to be healthy and what the residents are looking for. The residents have no complaints that I know of. I'm very pleased with the place. It's all about my mother, and they make it all about her.

The care at Oasis is amazing. The staff is very personable, knowledgeable, and compassionate. They have plenty of activities going on to keep the residents busy. The entertainment that they provide is amazing. There's live entertainment every Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. There's lots going on there. We've eaten there before. Throughout the summer they have cookouts for the family every single month. The family always feels welcome and comfortable when you go to Oasis. It has high ceilings with lots of white chandeliers. It makes the residents feel like they're in their own living room. It's beautiful. They have beautiful outdoor area, courtyard, picnic tables, umbrellas and benches outside, birdfeeders everywhere outside the windows, so the residents can see the birds. They have birds inside, too. I think anybody looking for a facility for a loved one that needs memory care, Oasis is a top choice!

The Oasis is a beautiful facility. The common areas are bright and open and the rooms are spacious. I am at facility once or twice a week and it does not matter what time you go, you are always welcomed with a smile. From the door monitor to the nursing staff, to the health care workers and cleaning and cooking staff, everyone is friendly and responsive to the needs of the residents. Numerous activities are offered daily often including live music and a wide variety of food options are available throughout the week. We had cared for my father in our home for many years prior to thinking about a rest home as we couldn't meet his needs any longer. I wanted a place that felt like home with a staff that surrounded him with love and a high level of care. I truly feel we have found that at the Oasis.

My 93-year old mother became a resident of Oasis at Dodge Park six weeks ago. Her dementia had been significantly increasing, and the assisted living facility she was at previously could no longer manage her care - i.e. incontinence, combative behavior, not sleeping at night, challenges with ADL's. Within three weeks, the outstanding staff and resources at the Oasis figured out what was causing my mom's behavior [UTI, medication issues], and now my mom is clean, groomed, happy, eating, sleeping, and participating in a wide variety of activities. And she's playing their baby grand piano! She's always happy to see me, and I am extremely grateful to Micha, Ben, Carrie, Renee and the amazing staff at the Oasis!

My family and I were extremely happy with the care my Mother received. From the moment she was admitted her care was exceptional. Every staff member treated her with dignity and compassion. The facility is meticulously cared for, meals are well rounded and the dietary staff go above and beyond to accommodate the most picky of eaters. The rooms are decorated tastefully with views of the courtyard or front of building. Residents have multiple activities throughout the day.

My father was in this facility until he passed, and my mother is currently in this facility. Of the many places my parents were over the years, this is far and away the best. While it is clear the building is new and top notch, the staff is what sets it apart. All the staff love the patients and provide amazing consistent care.

Extremely caring staff. Wonderfully engaging entertainment and activities by visiting performers. Lovely, bright, welcoming facility. Facility is always clean, staff members are always working, and engaging constantly with each resident. Heartfelt compassionate staff members who appear to work together as a team for the benefit of each resident. Regardless of individual's abilities, the staff engages each resident as they are able and feel comfortable. Family members are always welcome at meals, for visits, entertainment. Owners of the facility are as involved as the staff, knowing each resident as an important, vital individual, and interacting with them constantly. Laundry is clean, individually identified and put away for each resident. Rooms are organized and kept neat and orderly. Safety and well being of residents appears to be the number one priority. Private space for family birthday: visiting. Beautiful grounds and outside (safe) areas for sitting - and cookouts and entertainment. Holidays are all marked with decoration and activities. Our family looks forward to, and truly enjoys visiting, and also allows us to feel confident that our mother is well cared for and safe when we leave.

Oasis at Dodge Park is great. We really can't say enough good things about them. My father was there almost a year. Everybody was very nice to him and even to my mother. My mother was almost around every day and they did everything for her also. The place was very clean and the food was very good. The value was comparable to other places too. Micah and Ben are terrific. The people that took care of my father were exceptional too, even the people in the food service and everybody in the office. The compassion they have for the people that are in there are just tremendous. It was Easter time and one caregiver just spent the whole time being there and talking to the resident because a family of a resident didnt come. I love them!

I have not one bad thing to say about Oasis at Dodge Park. I only have praise. My mother was in a home before she went to Oasis and she did not get close to the care she gets now. She's improved tremendously since she's been in Oasis. She's never going to be good but compared to what she was, she's fabulous. The facility is brand new. It's bright, cheery and on one floor. They don't have to walk up and down the stairs for anything. I ate lunch with my mother more than a couple of times and the food is good. The staff is very attentive too. I have 100% communication with them even with the slightest thing that happens to my mother. They call and notify me right away, it doesn't have to be a fall or anything. It could just be anything. They let me know if anything beside the ordinary happens (which I did not have previously with another company). One day they called me and said that there was soup spilled on her. Now, I dont think any places do that. I was flabbergasted and VERY happy. There's always somebody there. The administrators are there ALL THE TIME. They'll take time to talk to you anytime. I email with the nurse thats on the floor frequently to ask her questions because I'm in the Florida and that's in Massachusetts. So for me its important to know that where my mother is she's being cared for well. I know that she is because in October of last year my aunt passed away. I had to fly back to Massachusetts. Now, no one in Oasis knew I was going back to Massachusetts because it was a last minute thing. I walked in the door and my mother was clean, fed and her room was neat. She was also out in the activity, just the way I want to see her - WELL CARED FOR. And that was a complete unexpected visit because they could just wash her until I came back and check in. I call also and talk to my mother. They get her the phone or we try to Skype on the computer but that's a little more difficult. I mean I'm able to communicate as much as I can with my mother and the communication with the facility (both the nurses and the management) is outstanding. They have MANY activities everyday even on the weekends. They bring people in from the outside. I was there once and they had a magician. They also have music, drumming and exercise. My mother is busy all day long even at night. There is not much time that they can sit in a chair and do nothing unless they so choose. They inter mix everybody. If you're one that can't get around very much you're still part of the activity and can still participate as much as you can whereas where my mother was before when she get to the point that she couldn't do a lot for herself, she sat in a chair all day. It's a little more expensive than other places but its worth every dime. I can't say enough good things. They have never once disappointed me. It's wonderful!

My brother has been at Oasis at Dodge Park for over a year now. It's been a wonderful experience. The facility is magnificent; it's like a Marriot Hotel. It's very clean. The staff and ownership are terrific as well. They're very much involved so they're very progressive. The food is good and my brother likes it. There's entertainment for all residents on an ongoing basis. There are activities both in the morning, afternoon and also on the weekend. Theres musical entertainment and they teach all kinds of classes. They do a wonderful job to get the residents to participate. I think it's a tremendous value for what the cost is. To sum it up, its a wonderful place!

Provider Response

Thank you for a wonderful review. It is our pleasure to care for your brother. It is always great to deal with a very caring and committed family.

I visited this facility

Dodge Park Rest Home was older, darker, and had two different levels. The rooms were gloomy. However, the staff was very good. The owner was very thorough during the tour. There was a party room in the basement and someone was having a birthday party for one of the residents. Their family was there, so they were very happy.

The Oasis at Dodge Park is not only a beautiful facility, but full of love. The care that was provided to my father and now provided to mother here is top notch. I could not say enough about how much support I feel from all of the staff here and how great they are at communicating to family members and caring for their patients. My mom was previously in a different home, and moving her to Oasis was the best decision. It is clear that the care she is getting is so fantastic -- she has even made incredible changes in her behavior that we thought were not reversible. I am lucky to have my parents supported by Oasis.

My family member has been a resident at The Oasis for several months and we are more than pleased with the care she has received. I am a retired registered nurse and was looking for a facility that would provide attention to the details of her individual needs on every level. I have not been disappointed. The Oasis management and line staff are sensitive, professional and dedicated to the residents and their families. I highly recommend Oasis to others like us who need to know their loved one is safe and well cared for at all times.

There cannot be another Home that cares for it's residents the way the staff at Oasis cares for my mother. The entire staff including nurses, aides, servers, etc. know the residents by name and treat them with kindness and respect. Hugs are freely given to all! Ben and Micha are there every day and you can tell after talking with them for just a few minutes that this is not just a business for them. They are deeply invested in the lives of the residents. I give the entire team and enthusiastic five stars!

The atmosphere is beautiful at Oasis. It's a gorgeous facility that's very light. You don't feel like you're in a skilled nursing home, rest home or assisted living at all. It's just a beautiful space, and I really think that that's the space that affects people and visitor's mood. The staff is very friendly, very caring and very responsive. The care so far for my mother has been excellent. They seem to know how to handle her, what her needs are and what to do with her. She does not participate much in the activities but they do have varied activities and activities going on all day. And you know staff are there looking out after the residents all day. The food seems to be good too. My mother's room is also very nice. It's a single room with her private bathroom. It's well furnished, very bright and cheery. She has a wonderful view of Worcester. She can see Indian Lake and that's very nice. Overall, I am very pleased with the care.

Everything gets a 10++ at Dodge Park. They're kind and welcoming. It's also clean. All the caregivers are not lazy. They're kind and always up doing something. Everything runs smoothly there. Each of them takes special care of my mother even the lady who does the laundry and the servers. Mom has a very nice room which looked out into the backyard and the pond. I've eaten there a couple of times and it's very good. I mean its good food but its institutional food. They're more than nice. They have dogs come in once a week, yoga and music and tai chi from the outside. There's always something going on.

My mother, Roberta is the resident of Dodge Park. The atmosphere is fantastic. It's not even like a nursing home or anything like that. It feels like you're in a 5 star hotel and everything is state of the art. The caregivers are phenomenal. They're very attentive to all of my mom's needs and all the other residents' needs. There are quite a few residents there right now but it doesn't feel like that because it's just so spacious, bright and clean. The food is fantastic too. It's not a sad feeling when you go visit her or like leaving her there because you know she's safe and well taken care of. She sometimes participates in activities. Mom is not necessarily like the one who participates in bingo or things like that. She just sits in the sun, rests, does her cross word puzzles, reads magazines; those type of things. But there are plenty of things to do there if she wanted to partake in anything. We visit her almost daily so we see a lot of activities going on. They have crafts, games for the residents and exercise classes. There's always live entertainment like a guitar or piano player during the weekends or special holidays. Last week, we had a family Easter dinner. Family and friends join the residents last Wednesday. We were all served with food and desserts and there was a guitar player for a couple of hours. They always seem to cater to the residents and the family just to make us feel like one big family. She's happy there. It just makes it feel like she's at home. I really have nothing to say negative about it at all. I will give them 5 stars or definitely higher.

Provider Response

Thank you for a great review. It is our honor to care for your mom and deliver a sense of our N'fesh to N'Fesh Memory care program. It is a one of a kind in the area and myself, Ben and all the staff are fully committed to provide mom with a true home. Thank you for trusting us with the care of Roberta. We truly committed to provide the best in dementia care.

Nursing Home Reviews for Oasis At Dodge Park

May 17, 2019

By Dorothy

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

We visited Oasis at Dodge Park. My dad stayed there for a little while, but we didnt like it there, so we took him home. It was very nice there as far as the looks and the food go, but there was a lot of staff turnover, and a lot of different stories. We asked them to call us if he was acting in a certain way, but when we got there, hed been fighting with them, looking for us, and nobody had called us. The rooms were nice, but one of the problems was that somebody had come into his room twice and pooped all over his bed, and there was also poop on his chair. We thought that it was a nursing home, but we found out it was a rest home when we had him in there. They had a lot of outside activities which was nice. A lot of people would come in and sing, they would do exercises, and they had activities all the time. Inside the building there was a hairdresser that would come in and a dentist. The kitchen staff was wonderful. There were five of them. Its $13,000 a month to stay there and just to get in there you have to pay $26,000 just to get a room -- first and last month's rent. So a month would cost $30,000.

Oasis at Dodge Park is a very caring community. They provide excellent nursing care for my mother, even from the non-nursing personnel as well. I think my mother is in a very safe place. She's in an environment that encourages people to thrive and her needs are very well met. I think that people there go the extra mile and not only provide excellent care but provide compassion and love to the people. I am a nurse case manager and my mother is a nurse. There's certain aspect to it that's very important to us when we're deciding for the best place for my mother. We had to make the decision that we as a family can no longer provide that level of care that she needed in our home. The dining staff is very attentive to my mother's needs too. She has a very specialized diet. They want to make sure that the food is appropriate for her. I don't eat the food very often there but she is doing very well with the food. I think the food is very healthy and nutritious. We're pleased because she's eating the amount that she needs to have so that's good. I will give them 5 stars and I have absolutely no problem doing that. I have seen other facilities as a nurse and as a care provider. I think that what the facility offers for people is something more than you're going find in other places. The fact that the owners have provided a place that's not only beautiful but a place where people with memory loss can feel open, alive and can thrive in the environment. It's not a place for people to sit there and wait to die. It's a place where people can continue to live with vitality. The other thing that I love about this place is that the owner has gone so far as to incorporate programs like music therapy and arts therapy. Some people might look at that and say "Why would you spend the money on that, these people aren't going to remember it, right?"" But they do it because they understand that the clients are living in a moment. They celebrate that and all of the client's needs are being met there, not just physically and cognitively but also emotionally and spiritually. I can walk into this facility and feel that I'm part of this whole experience too. I really try to let other people know about it because there are standards that I have as a nurse when I walk into a place. But I'm not just a nurse when I walk in there, I'm a daughter. I need to know that when I leave, my mother is well cared for because I can't provide that care for her anymore. That's why the decision was so difficult for any daughter to make, to allow somebody to have the privilege to care for their mother who's worth it. My mom is worth everything so it made our choice easier because we knew that she's being cared for with love there. There comes a time for children when they have to make a difficult situation as to the best environment for a parent to be placed so that the right level of care can be provided. My family and I really feel that my mother is getting that care and that it's a great source of comfort to us because we don't have to worry about the care that she's receiving. She's getting more than what she needs. It's a place where she can thrive and that's what we wanted for her. We feel fortunate and blessed that we found this place for her. I hope more people will find out about them and be able to bring their parents there. It's been a great comfort for us.

Everyone seemed generally friendly, the facilities were clean and well kept, the staff seemed to have a good grip on everything that was going on. When I visited I was promptly brought to my grand parent. He very much enjoyed his stay there and said that it was one of the better homes that he has seen. He was taken out because I now care for him at my house. Overall the home was great and very nicely ran.

I've visited the place when we we're looking a place for my mom, though she still stays home at this time. The place is a good type for a faciliy, well-run, and nice type of people. Nursing staff and a medical director, were available 24-hours a day / 7-days a week. Definitely a place we'll be considering in the future.

I visited this facility

For the most part, they did good in taking care of my husband. The program that they do is good. I like their chair exercises. It would be nice if they have some variations on their activities. My husband likes the place and the staff. The staff has been wonderful and helpful specially with his speech therapy

Dodge Park is very much geared to support residents with dementia and Alzheimers. My mom really likes it there. She loves the food there too. She thinks the company is well - managed. It's really a good place.

I am/was a resident of this facility

When I first determined that my husband had dementia and needed to be taken care of, I looked around the city for an adult day facility. I went to visit them and some of them were in basement of churches and people just sat around the table. Some of them didn't start til 9 o'clock and I work and needed to be at work by 7am. When I went to Dodge Park, it was very homey. It felt like you were going into someone's livng room. The adults that were there were playing games and working on projects. I saw a big difference in other adult day facilities. The activities were varied. They do some active things like yoga and bowling. They have scuplturing and painting. They also have word games and card games in the afternoon and singalongs. I like it there because there's a good variety of things. Some of the things my husband would say he doesn't like but then something would come up that would catch his interest. I really like that. The staff is very helpful in letting me know what I could do to help make my husband be comfortable and for him to have a good experience there.

I'm 77 years old and my husband is quite disabled. It was a help for me having him in Dodge Park part time. I also need to keep my social contacts as well so it's been very good for both of us. The program there is excellent. They have a variety of different things which are therapeutic and socially helpful. He goes 3 times a week. My husband was always a very social person and it was hard for him not to see people all the time. By going over Dodge Park, he meets new friends and enjoys their company. He enjoys all the activities they have. There's something different everyday. Most of the things they do are not only enjoyable but healthy in one way of another. He has a movement disorder so getting him to do things like painting and sculpting really helps his movements. He's able to do more. It makes him feel like he is able to do something.

My mom's case manager told me about Dodge Park. So I went there with my mother, and immediately I know it was the right place. They're very one-on-one. They really care about her, they love her, they will actually hug her and make her feel she's with her family. We go three times a week, but she gets up and gets dress and thinks she's going to Dodge Park every day. She had a little bit of stranger anxiety during her first week. It was a little bit difficult even though she enjoyed it there. But they try to keep the activities structured. They give us a paper calendar for the month. They have art every day, Friday mornings they'll bake, and then there are certain days that they just do chair exercises. So they have a lot of music which they love and have them really moving. They let them do the best what they can. I love the place. It's been great ever since.

What really impressed me the first time I went to Dodge Park was just how warm, friendly, and caring everybody was. Everybody's smiling and it feels like home. My mother go there once a week. People always seem to know who she is when she walks in. They address her by name. People are very nice and good to her. We just started in December. And although sometimes she's not overly optimistic about her situation and feeling pretty down, she's smiling and always in a good mood when I pick her up. So she's happy there. The place doesn't feel like an institution. It feels like going to a friend's home. It's a nice warm feeling. I'm very happy.

I didn't really know much about Dodge Park. I went to visit a lot of adult day centers, and there isn't a program around has the kind of flexibility they offer. The people are very caring. They have a lot of entertainment that comes in. They keep the residents busy. They play ping-pong, they do bowling, bingo and a lot other activities. The food is great, and it's probably the cleanest place you'll ever walk into. It is spotlessly clean everywhere. That's why everybody think so highly of it.

The day club at Dodge Park is excellent. The people who run it, Debbie and Kate, are absolutely wonderful. Thea, the activities director is excellent. The people are happy and everything was on time. I would usually pick up my mother around 7 o'clock to take her home. They provide a lot of activities for people with dementia. They care about the people. We've been working with them for over a year now. They are really good. The place is always very clean. Even the people who take care of the cafeteria or dining room are doing a good job. My mother said the food was good. It's also a secure place.

Memory Care Reviews for Oasis At Dodge Park

February 08, 2020

I am/was a resident of this facility

Our mother was recently placed at the Oasis facility after stay at assisted living, in metro west area. From there she end us in a connected snf memory unit. We were very upset with the care. We contacted the owner Micha Shalev who visited and screened mom and reassure us that mom will be well taken care. Mom moved into the oasis 3 weeks ago and we are very amazed on the different. The facility staff are very friendly, accommodating and supportive. WE are so amazed how well the care is organized. Mom is having a great time and enjoy all the activities at the facility.

My mother moved in the first month that Oasis opened. She had been in assisted living elsewhere which was no help to her at all. She ended up in the hospital with a UTI. Just by sheer luck, the social worker at the hospital recommended Oasis. I was skeptical at first, since the assisted living facility had been so hard on my mother's condition. But, my skepticism was proved wrong. Oasis delivers on the care 24 hours a day. Before long, my mother was smiling again and the nurses, social worker, and caregivers monitored her closely. As she needed more care, they anticipated and met the need. Throughout the entire 3 years she spent at Oasis, right up until her passing, she received excellent care. I would highly recommend Oasis at Dodge Park to any family with a loved one suffering from dementia. Like me, they would not have to worry that there loved one is being looked after 100% properly. I slept very well knowing my mother was there. The key to the excellent care is the fact that two owner operators of Oasis are right there every day. This active management and the right number of carefully selected staff members allow them to deliver on the care 100% every day, 24 hours per day. Every staff member there knew my mother and cared about her well being. Anyone with dementia would be LUCKY to be a resident at Oasis at Dodge Park!

Imagine my disbelief when I first found out that my sister had early onset Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, it became painfully apparent when she was only 55 years old. For several years we couldn’t figure out what was going on, she had restless nights, forgetfulness, memory loss, and she always wandered off, causing a panic and sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. We tried having her live with us for a while, but if you are reading this review you know that sadly, it is extremely difficult and a 24-7 commitment. We made the decision, drove around and visited and evaluated dozens of facilities. Some were very nice looking but the staff seemed unresponsive, others felt like sterilized wards, and the worst ones are the ones that have that distinctive odor about them. If you are currently looking at different places you know the smell I mean. The second we walked into the Oasis we knew that we had found a home for her. As strange as it seems, it reminded me of being on a cruise ship. There was someone playing the piano and staff and the people they serve were singing Sweet Caroline. Now that doesn’t happen all the time, but there are regularly scheduled activities at the Oasis. Some of the people served cannot move around much and don’t sing, but if you watch their feet you will probably see them tapping to the beat! The very first time we entered into the Oasis, unannounced, for a visit and evaluation we were pleasantly surprised both owners Micha and Ben were there. Micha took around for a tour asked questions about my sister and gave helpful suggestions about care facilities. He gave us a book that he has written about dementia. The most moving moment that I experienced with the Oasis was when my sister had to be hospitalized for a short period of time, at a hospital miles away from the Oasis. I walked into the hospital and imagine my surprise, I bumped into Ben one of the owners he had driven miles away just to check on and visit with my sister. I choked up. You are not going to find that attention level at any other placement… The nurses are always present and are usually within eye sight of most of the people residing there. They are friendly, experienced and supportive and they are always in contact when something changes or my sister has had a bad day. Now my sister has her favorite nurse, of course, but it would not be fair to mention her here, because all the nurses are fantastic. Oh, did I mention that they have a dental hygienist who goes to the Oasis, and a Psychiatrist, there is hairstylist, a yoga instructor and many other people. Some of the most important people in my sister’s day however are the staff. They all know her by name and always say hello. Most of them are upbeat and will probably put a smile on your face when you go to visit the Oasis. I have gone in there a little grumpy before and walked away grinning. They work hard genuinely care about the people they serve and their families.

We are so lucky there is a facility like The Oasis. The space is beautiful, the staff are wonderful. All patients are out and about in the facility and are not living in their beds. There are activities through out the day from games to entertainment. Residents participate what they can. Sing along or sit quietly and enjoy. I am forever grateful my mother in law is in their care.

Excellent! Oasis at Dodge Park provide much more care than a regular assisted living. They have RNS now. My mother is given medication that she needs. She's seen by her doctor regularly. She has Alzheimer's. Also, a geriatric psychiatrist comes down on a regular basis. They're good on medication, so she's up every day, she's bathed, she's well-dressed she gets 3 meals a day. I have been there, and sometimes I'm always there when there's a meal. I had the meal myself and it's delicious. It's owned by two private owner/operators that are right there on staff every day. I looked at dozens of assisted living and other care facilities. It just happened they owned one across the street that's called Dodge Park Rest Home, and it was just opening exactly a year ago. My mother was one of the first to move in. It's a beautiful facility. Compare to the place that she was before, this home is better. Her symptoms are constantly changing and they're monitoring and changing the medication. She's incontinent at this moment, but they still managed to keep her well-dressed and make sure she's changed within at least an hour. I'm very impressed. I am extremely fortunate to have found it. The two owners make an effort to know all of the residents and their families. They go out of their way to make sure that any concerns are taken care of right away.

My mother has dementia and it was just getting worse and worse that we couldn't care for her at home. I heard about Dodge Park advertised on the radio and I wanted to see what it was about. When we came and visit, that affected me and my sister because it looked like it's everything that we wanted for her. I think it's incredible there. I can't imagine that any facility similar to this is going to treat residents better than they do. If we had any concerns (which we haven't really) you speak with them and it's done right away. Honestly, I don't know what I could really say bad about them. I see the owners every time I go, which I go quite frequently as much as my sister but she's there a lot also. The owners are always checking on things and making sure things go right. The nursing are fantastic and friendly too. They're always trying to keep the residents busy and active as they can. They have all kinds of activities that they do with the residents. I never t thought I'd see my mother participating but they got her to participate. We heard a lot of nightmares about places and we were very hesitant to place mom anywhere. She's very independent; she's a nurse manager for 40y ears. She has dementia but she still has presence of mind at the time. I work at a hospital and I see a lot of care, the amount of time and patience that they give to the resident is awesome. In addition, the food is really good. We've done Christmas, Thanksgiving and we just did Easter. Even last minute I show up, say I want to have breakfast with mom or some days that I show up into the service and if I am hungry and wanted to eat anything, they're quick and they'd give me whatever I want from the service. They never don't ask from a full meal to a casual meal. They always ask or it's always offered. Her room is big and beautiful. Sometimes, I get there early in the morning and everything is neat. Shortly after she's out of bed, the bed is made, the trash is emptied and sinks from the counter is clean. There's also a big, shared bathroom. The sink there is always clean, it never smelled. That is the other thing I'm worrying about because I know a couple of people who has been in nursing homes. One thing that I've noticed in a lot of nursing homes is the strong urine smell. Here, never. It never ever smelled anything even when she started across the street in the older building with a lot more people in the smaller area or when we moved her over to the new building when they were taking new residents. Moreover, the other thing that me and my sister really like is the way they monitor with the chairs and the beds. She's very independent and she likes to do things on her own so if she tries to get up, it'll alert them right away so there are no worries. It's just fabulous.
