We have my mother-in-law set up in Oakleaf Personal Care Home. The community is spectacular, terrific, and wonderful. Her room is perfect. They have entertainment that comes in from time to time and play bingo in the morning. They have a priest that comes to say the rosary and have religious services. They have a pool table and many televisions around the place. The food is good; they have fine dining facilities. The staff is exceptional and give her so much care far beyond my expectations.

The woman who runs Oakleaf is wonderful. She actually wrote an article and gives it to anybody who even looks to give you things to look for when you are looking for place. The one thing I didn’t like was that the rooms were not big. It was a very nice place with really nice people working there. This was one place that, even with a private room, had shared bathrooms, which I wasn’t really happy about. As far as the whole thing, I thought it was very nice and affordable, and the staff and the woman who runs it were excellent. She couldn’t have taken more time with us in explaining things and said, “OK, we know you’re going to look for other places and you need to ask about extra charges,” and things we needed to ask any place else and ratio of staff to people there; she was great. One thing I really liked was she told me that if my mom does have dementia and it were to get bad, they had that level of care and even if the money runs out, they work things and will make it work for her to be able to stay, which I thought was very nice.
