It’s very DISAPPOINTING that the human experience is not comparable to the aesthetic experience at The Oaks. It seems they put all their money into making a beautiful place to dupe the families into trusting them with their loved one. Unfortunately, this place is not about people. It is all about money. They have not cared for my father at all, but continue to overcharge our family and then be smug about their behavior. The Oaks has been a horrible experience for our entire family and I would avoid them at all costs.

These people have no integrity. I’m horrified by the way they treated my grandparents. Despite that my grandfather never even moved in, a month later they are still deducting money from my grandmother’s bank account. Not only can they not be trusted to administer care to a vulnerable class like the elderly, they are actively harming them.
