After a long, beautiful life as a family man, Korean War veteran, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, it is an absolute shame that my grandfather died in this facility. The room was never cleaned (until it was demanded) and his blankets always dirty. The long hallways were virtually empty of any helpful staff and the inexperienced teenagers working there were of little use. We had to question why getting him food or water needed to be a chore - not getting him to eat, but actually having it available. We had to question why they didn’t have adequately trained staff to insert his catheter. We were mortified to find out he fell not once, but four times the two weeks leading to his final breath- he was just found on the floor after an undetermined amount of time because nobody checked in on him at a regular interval. Four falls at his age meant that his final days were painful if not accelerated. When I called and got through the Laurie the admin (whose first question she asked when she picked up was literally “What are you trying to sell me?”), she couldn’t guarantee the safety of my grandfather claiming it would violate HIPAA - which is absolutely not true. Laurie also seemed to be surprised to see my grandfather’s room empty after his body was removed, which tells the whole family that she is unaware of deaths occurring in her facility. A last twist of the knife occurred a week or so later when we received a card in the mail from the facility- not sending condolences of any kind- but a card wishing us a “Merry Christmas.” Choices may be limited and end of life care is unimaginably difficulty to navigate for so many reasons- if you can avoid it, do not allow your loved ones to stay here.

My mom was there and the nurses were nice, food was good but her room was always dirty, the communication to us was not good and we tried. She took a bad fall because they did nothing about her high blood pressure. Maybe tney showered her once a week which is not enough. The physical therapy was great. Her meds got messed up a few times. Doctor didnt come around much also.

I have been taking my students to socialize with the seniors at Oak Park for quite a few years now. My students love interacting with them. To see the intergenerational relationships forming is invaluable. The director, Nicole Pfundheller, is amazing. She goes above and beyond to make sure that our students are well taken care of. They love to play games sing and have snacks together. The students look forward ro coming every week!!

I love Oak Park Place Janesville, WI. The facility is well designed and maintained. The apartments are very nice and thoughtfully designed. I love the staff. I had physical therapy and couldn't have been happier.

As a performer, I have to say Oak Park Place is one of my favorite places to sing. The folks and staff are highly engaged, always singing and dancing and laughing, even at my totally corny jokes. It's evident the staff truly cares and the residents are very happy the live in this wonderful community!
