My grandma lived at Oakwood for 5 months and the staff was very kind to the whole family. They offer a variety of fun activities for residents and really care about them. The nursing staff is responsive and on top of things. I also recommend St. Croix hospice that came in to provide services as well.

Oakwood is a great facility with an incredible team of care givers. My grandmother was a resident for many years and was treated so kindly and respectfully.

Would not recommend them for in home sitting and care. Hired them to sit with a family member one day a week. First visit the girl was 20 minutes late and not professionally dress, next week she was a little over an hour late and showed up with her teenage boy which is completely unprofessional, I sent her away and called the coordinator. The coordinator was supposed to call me back in a few days to let me know if they had a replacement person, I didn't hear anything from her in almost 2 weeks, so I called and cancelled my contract. It took almost two months for me to get my balance of deposit refund back. Horrible customer service and unprofessional. UPDATE My Father In-law that's under home hospice, had to go here this week under respite care. I gave this place another chance, and once again I was very disappointed. They just left him sit in his room the whole time. His feet and legs were very swollen when I picked him up. They only changed his clothes one day and that's the day the CNA from hospice came in to bath him. They made him use a toilet seat in his room instead of the regular bathroom too.

My father spent 3 weeks in Oakwood after a rough battle with COVID. The nursing and rehab team did an excellent job in getting Dad back on his feet and home. They not only treated my father with kindness but also my entire family that visited Dad often. I would truly recommend Oakwood Care Center with 5 stars !!!!!
