North Oaks Memory Care

Paul.111

My parents moved here about a month ago. The staff is great. They're good with the patients, the residents. They understand how to deal with people with memory issues. And, the food is a big deal. When I vetted a senior living, I knew the food would be a big deal. Also, I was looking for a place that had an area where they could go outside, a patio of some type, and it had two. So that's good. Also, they had one of the bigger rooms, which was the deciding factor when it came down to two different places as we were placing both of them at the same time. The facility is great. The dining area is not just a bunch of tables and chairs. They have it set up like a restaurant. They used tablecloths on the tables that give it a warmer feel, less industrial or commercial feel than some other places that they've been in.

We liked it. It seemed like a nice, clean, kind of bright facility. They had courtyards which are pretty nice for people to get outside. The rooms were decent-sized. They showed common areas, places where you could have a birthday celebration or that type of thing or if they had family come, and bathroom shower areas they set up separately from the rooms just for safety purposes. Everything looked good.

It was very nice, it's very clean and it smells good. Everything about it is fine; my mother just doesn't want to go there right now. Everybody was very nice. They were doing different things, but it's something my mother would never do anyway because she's not social. They have a beauty shop, they had the different things that the people could do there, and they had a place where they can go out to. They can't go outside, but it's like being outside. They have some offsite activities, games, fitness room. It was nice; my dad was very happy with it and I was happy with it but we just know that my mom won't be happy with it because she wants to be home.

I liked it because it was strictly memory care. It was one floor and the apartment doors were locked when they are inside their room or in the dining area. The residents had a band around their wrists. The food smelled really good, but we didn’t get to taste it. They had TVs in three or four rooms and they had a couple of different patios. The staff was very nice, very pleasant, and very informative. The place was very clean.
