Oxford Veterans Home

Catherine

My husband is at Oxford Veterans Home. We chose it because it was the nicest facility, and it had the most staff of any we looked at. It was also the least expensive, so it ticked all the right buttons. It was perfect. I like the fact that it is fully staffed. I like the caring personnel. I like the fact that on the day he was taken in, everything went perfectly and quickly. They gave information on how to ease him in gently, and it worked. It is a hard thing to do, but it went well. The staff members are very caring and patient. They call them by name. They know who they are. They know the visitors who are coming, and they know our names, too. They do their jobs very well. Of the places we looked at, this was one of the two that had no unpleasant odor in the facility. That's a huge thing for us who are looking for somewhere to place our loved ones. I've also only eaten one meal there, and my meal was excellent. That was on the day of admission, and it was a good meal. I enjoyed it. The place is clean and shiny. There is sun everywhere. They have a cat for the patients and the visitors to pet and see. The cat is a huge bonus as far as I'm concerned. Landscaping is gorgeous, too. My husband has been there just short of two weeks now. He has adjusted to being there, and they are beginning to find out what he is capable of and what he wants to do, so he will not be sitting there doing nothing.
