This nursing home stole all my grandmas stuff and abused her, saying she was uncooperative and aggressive but we took her to a different nursing home because they refused to take her back after a stroke and they said she was a perfect resident. I have heard similar things from multiple people. Do not trust this place with your loved ones.

I hope that this review is helpful to those who are having to navigate at difficult situation of finding care for their loved one. Even though this an uncomfortable thing to talk about, plan, and accept I found myself at the unfair point of life were my loved one needs 24 hour care. Multiple friends suggested Oakdale to me and I’m so grateful they did. Kristen the Social Services Director helped me through the process, talked me through the paperwork, and was right there to support me through this new chapter. And when it was time for placement she was there to help us make that transition. And Now to share on the nursing side. I honestly didn’t know what to expect. I know we all hear the bad things about nursing homes. And thats all that we hear about. I’m so happy I get to tell you about the good things! Cece the DON impressed me so much. She has been so amazing to address concerns, needs, and things my my loved one likes or wants to make her move as smooth as possible. The staff have been so supportive to me and my loved one, and it has been easy to communicate how the adjustment is going. I am at a place of relief and peace. I know I made a wonderful decision trusting Oakdale with my loved one.
