My mother is currently at the Oaks recovering after a long hospital stay. We have had an excellent experience so far. The nurses and CNAs have been very nice, the therapy has been excellent, and the social worker and care plan team have been great about communicating with me. My mother is improving every day. The facility is very clean and the food is exceptional! I’ll continue to update as my mom is still a patient, but so far I have been very impressed!

My mother-in-law spent a month in rehab at the Oaks. We found the facility to be clean and inviting. A key to the great atmosphere were the staff members. The nurses, CNAs, and professional staff were friendly and took great care of her and us. We were very impressed with the therapists and the work they did to get her back up and going so she could return home. A rehab stint is stressful and we appreciated the support the Oaks gave our family.

The Oaks of Athens is a beautiful place. The most staff is friendly and work very hard to make the patients feel like they’re home. Mrs.Ollie and Mrs. Felicia on the first floor are really friendly and do an excellent job at making their patients feel at home. They make them feel at home but also make them do the work they need to do so that they can go back home. They remind them that they’re there for therapy and not to stay. Mrs. Ollie made sure my husband got his shower on his shower days whenever she was there on his shower days. Now there was Patricia Edwards (CNA) prime example of what a CNA should not be just plain out lazy as hell. She wouldn’t shower my husband to save her life when she was there on his shower days unless I was there and kept harassing her about. She wouldn’t even change his shirt that Mrs.Ollie would have put on him the day before. Or even give him his toothbrush so he could brush his teeth or a wash cloth so he could wash his face. Just the simple things she wouldn’t do even after I complained on her. I filled grievance after grievance and I even talked to the administrator and nursing supervisors and nothing was done. One day in particular the administrator just happened to be on the 100 hall where my husband’s room was his and the person in the room next to him call light had been going off for hours. The administrator gets on the intercom and pages Patricia and tells her to go to those rooms. A hour later she still hadn’t been to either room. If you see her in the hall you would think that she’s just so busy when in all actuality she busy doing nothing. I really love all the therapist there. They were really good. If they came in the room and the call light was on and my husband needed changing they would change him instead of waiting on a CNA to come do it. I can’t thank Mrs. Ollie and Mrs. Felicia enough for the care compassion and encouragement that they gave my husband while he was at the Oaks of Athens. You ladies deserve a big raise for the job y’all do❤️❤️❤️. The nurses were just alright with the exception of Melissa, Stephanie, Felicia and Summer theses four ladies were amazing. Now there is the nurse that discharged my husband. I don’t know her name but she’s an older lady. She needs to be retrained or written up. So once my husband had gotten home and we were getting him situated I realized that she sent someone else’s medication home with him. There names were no where near being similar. While I’m sitting in disbelief looking at this other person’s medication I receive a phone call from the discharging nurse telling me that she needed to bring me my husband’s medication because she sent the wrong medication home with him. If you have to send your love one there just make sure you go check on them daily and make your presence known.

As an AEMT, I am in and out of several assisted living and nursing homes. The Oaks of Athens is the best facility I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. So much so, that my aunt now resides there as a permanent resident. And she loves it!! Patients are treated as human beings and not just a number in a bed. If you are looking for a place you can trust for your loved one, this is it!!

From their web site which is so not the truth. Please believe the 1 star reviews. Seriously!! We understand the difficulties and emotional struggles of having to leave the comfort of your home, and that is why our attentive staff is dedicated to facilitating smooth transitions and to delivering comfort and companionship with a warm, personal touch. My MIL has been made to sit in her soiled diapers for 8-10 hours. They want to put her in her bed at 4pm and we've been there at 2pm and she's not even out of bed. They dont answer the phone in the evening. They dont answer call lights. The CNA's ALL have horrible overworked and underhanded attitudes. They are always on the defense, and they even hide their name tags so you can't identify them. This place lacks joy and sympathy. Its a dark angry place spiritually. We are in the process of moving our Mom out of there. Update: We're gone, and thank God.
