St Therese of Oxbow Lake

We have chosen St. Therese of Oxbow Lake for my mother. The main reason she likes this place is because it is Catholic and it has a chapel. That was really the selling point for her. She can go to mass five days a week and have communion served on the sixth day. It's very nice. The person who assisted us was wonderful. There are different activities but none that my mom is very interested in because she doesn't play games. She does read a lot of books and they seem to have a good program for getting library books. I tried the food and it was wonderful. We didn't eat in the dining room; we ate in the bistro. The food was very good.

St. Therese of Oxbow Lake was very well kept up and new. My parents liked that it had an on-site movie theater and that many of the apartments had balconies. The dining facility was nice and well kept up. The staff member who assisted us was very knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and answered all of our questions.

We decided on Saint Therese at Oxbow Lake. It’s an older building that's not quite as shiny, but they’re good. The staff is wonderful; I like their friendliness. The food is good. The price is comparable. The security seems fine; you need a pass card or a code to go in. The amenities are nice but they probably need to update the bathrooms in the apartments.

St. Therese is one stoplight from where I live right now, so I would be very close to many of the friends I have in this neighborhood. I have been there for happy hour, the residents had a presentation, we could tour the apartments, and they had music and refreshments after. The rooms were very satisfactory. However, they only have 2 elevators, the hallways are very long, and I would not be able to accept an apartment that is at the end of the hall. It was very clean, quite upscale, and beautifully decorated. The lobby or common room is very nice; they have a beautiful chapel that can sit 80 people. The dining room was set very nicely with flowers and centerpieces. It was a bit more expensive, but it’s not a problem that I have to worry about.
