Building is beautiful. Lots of open lobby and dining space for residents to eat, drink and socialize. That is what appealed to me and my family when we toured a couple times. The residents were friendly and happy. As were the little dogs who live there and were hanging out in the lobby. We don’t have a dog but definitely having a dog friendly community is a plus for those residents who do and for the other residents who enjoy seeing a dog every day. We heard the memory care residents have regular pet therapy sessions. Once my mom actually moved in to the assisted living side we still see all the friendly residents but now we also have very nice interactions with the staff. Happy to be at 81 Oaks.

Our uncle moved into 81 Oaks after no longer being able to live alone. After a little adjustment period, he made new friends and likes eating with them. We also get to eat lunch with him whenever we’re in town. With the dining room open all day, he eats whenever he wants and gets to hang out with other residents and with the very friendly servers. It’s been great for him! But the best thing that happened was the change in management over the summer, thanks to the owner. This type of change could be a cause for concern, but definitely not in this case. It was quite the opposite feeling. We were very impressed with the new executive director and her assistant, who we met on our last visit. Unlike before, there is now a very professional, enthusiastic group of Directors who are happy and interested in the residents every day. Everything was always good, but now it’s so much better. We highly recommend 81 Oaks… and Executive Chef Anthony is here. Was happy to also see his smiling face when we ate lunch with our Uncle. 😃 Apparently he was here before so some of the other residents already know him... and his delicious meals and desserts! So happy our Uncle is in a very good place.

DON’T—Memory care at 81 Oaks Senior Living- [1] they don’t have enough staff [2] residents live in unsanitary conditions [3] if your loved one goes to Encompass Rehabilitation Hospital- they refer to 81 Oaks & not give other options. Don’t send your loved ones to their memory care!
