The Oaks Cottage

Ashley

The Oaks Cottage is super clean. We liked it because it's really small. They only have 13 rooms. I think they only have nine single rooms and they have two double rooms which is one of the things we liked about it, especially for my dad. The other facilities were great, but they were too big and just too much. He would have been too overwhelmed. It's only four years old. The rooms are good sized. The bathrooms are just what he needs. He is participating in activities, which I was surprised by. They don't do a lot, which is another reason why we chose this place, because he would have been overwhelmed and probably would have hated all the other ones. They do some painting and crafts. They have like a bowling thing they do. They kind of get them moving around, like plastic bowling balls and bowling pins. They do like a baseball-type thing, with a foam pool noodle and a balloon. They do some kind of game with that. They do outdoor walks. The staff has all been real nice and very attentive. They've tried to find what my dad liked to do since he doesn't like to do a whole lot. They tried to figure out what he likes to do and kind of tweak things to his liking. It was one of the cheaper places. It wasn't as expensive and he didn't get all the extra stuff, but he also wouldn't have utilized all that extra stuff. I feel like we're paying for what we get, which is what he needs. The other places had a menu and they got to choose their food. I just wish they had a little more food variety at this place.
