Oak Park Retirement Resort was more like a hotel. The main reason we didn't choose them was because they didn't have nursing staff available. It was great, but it's not the place we needed for my parents. The apartments were very nice and new, they're even nicer than my parents' current room now. But there's no way to get outside from the room. The place was great but it's not what we needed. The food looked really good there, and the cafeteria was great. It's a clean place, it's nice and the people we talked to were nice. I didn't like that they didn't have a nurse on staff and no courtyard.

Oak Park is phenomenal!. I’m speaking as one who has a loved one in the facility, and I have researched until I was blue in the face to find somewhere that was a mix of the things she needed, and what she could afford. Katy area senior living is very very expensive. Hands down, this place has the most bang for the buck in the Katy area, and if you are considering a home for yourself or for a senior in your life, PLEASE go see for yourself how nice it is. Although they do not provide nursing assistance, the residents are able to bring in their own helpers, or can use the company that the apartments work with. A lot of the residents use helpers to provide safety with bathing, ext.
First off, the staff is also exceptional, all of them. They are all extremely caring, talkative, and accommodating to all the residents and their guests alike. I’m there a lot, as my mom is in a wheelchair, and I take care of all her needs. She has lived there 8 months now, and I have never had a interaction than was anything less than top notch.
Second, it’s all bills paid, and all meals are included, and prepared by an actual chef! They are REALLY good, and they encourage other family members to come eat with the residents (it’s only $8, less than the cost of a fast food lunch!) There is also weekly housekeeping and bed linen changes, transportation to doctor appointments twice a week, and ACTIVITIES every day. The activity director is full of energy, and she works her tail off to keep things interesting. My mother has made so many new friends, and again, the residents that live there embrace newcomers with open arms. Everyone is genuinely friendly, not “fake friendly”, as I have seen at other places.
The bottom line is this, once you have most of your daily needs taken care of, and you are in a stimulating environment with people that you come to call family, life is happy! There is so much more that I am not mentioning, you really have to see for yourself, take a tour, and find out the abundance of “extras” for yourself.

Oak Park Retirement Resort was still seemingly too new and the people living there didn't know what was going on. There were not very many people there, and there was not much interaction.

I cannot emphasize enough how terrific the staff, sales people, associated vendors and even residents are here. Price, facility, environment, and service at this place completely beyond my expectations. I don't have a lot of experience with these kind of places, but all the same I have been very impressed, and completely comfortable with my Mother moving there. It's not always easy moving a loved one out of your home into a "facility", but this has been a great experience for us both.

Oak Park Resort Lifestyle Retirement Community was a brand-new place, so everything was really great. They had a lot of activities and a nice restaurant. The place was land-locked around houses in subdivisions. The patios overlooked a parking lot, and the other patio faced a mall. They didn’t have long-term care, which I didn’t like. They had movies and other activities, and provided three meals a day.
