Twelve Oaks

I visited Twelve Oaks and I got a good overall impression. The amenities are average to slightly average. The rooms were basic and everything was clean, but they didn't have any kitchen facilities, just a bathroom. They have a salon, and they have a small kind of living room area with books, games, and a TV. The staff seemed very nice, knowledgeable, and helpful.

This week I had the pleasure of visiting a family member living at the facility when i visited for two days this week. I am a physician specializing in internal medicine and geriatrics and this was my first visit to the facility. I wanted to note how impressed I was. The facility was lovely and ideally organized. Everything was convenient and comfortable and as nice as if I was visiting a friend in their nice home. The residents all seemed happy and at home. All the staff were very very friendly , professional, and seemed highly experienced and very capable. I visited three separate times with each visit lasting a few hours. And one visit had a early evening birthday party for one resident where most of the residents on that wing attended. I found everyone to be one big happy family with a loving, capable, energetic, friendly staff that quickly easily, and expertly managed everything. I am very thankful that my family member has found an ideal place to live for the time of his life when he needs a lot of help. His new home has all the love, beauty, services, expertise, and friends he will ever need. Steven D Atwood, MD, FACP Springfield, MO adultmedicine.com

My mother-in-law is in Twelve Oaks. It is a very high-quality facility, beautiful, very clean, and nestled in the woods. The staff is very attentive and very caring. The place is very nice and well-maintained, and they have very good leadership. The administrator has been there for quite some time, and she is highly respected not only in the facility but also in the community. We are very pleased in being able to find such a nice caring place for my mother-in-law so we don't have to worry. They have very good medical and nursing staff there. I chose this facility because it's within 5 minutes of my work, so if she needs anything, I could just run right over.

Twelve Oaks was very clean. They had very nice personnel who seemed very concerned about their patients. I looked at a couple of semi-private and private rooms that were decent and roomy. In the private rooms, there was enough room for a small couch or maybe a recliner. The staff take residents on field trips around the historic sites on top of in-house activities. Overall, I was really impressed with it.
