Washington Oaks has been such a good fit for my Mom living independently at 80. We visited and ate…read morea sample meal at over 25 different locations. WO had by far the best food of any place we visited. They moved from their home in Kingson to Washington Oaks together for the first two months. The staff - every one of them!!!, is kind and aware of the needs of the residents. Mom can walk long safe distances with their sky bridges. Physical therapy and Exercise class is on-site. As a result, she keeps strong and keeps walking despite a severe bilateral disability in her muscles. I am confident being here because assisted care is available should she need it. Shout out to Mark the awesome director!

Starting with my first contact at Washington Oakes with the wonderful Maricel, this place has…read morereally impressed me. More importantly, my Mom was impressed enough to sell her home in New Mexico and move to Washington Oakes, which is right in our neighborhood. Everyone you meet, staff and residents alike, are friendly and really seem to like it there. Many staff have been there a long time, which tells me the management puts as much emphasis on caring for their staff as they do their residents. The building itself is a wonderfully remodeled, historic school, truly a beautiful structure. The feeling it is cold, and everything is a clean. My mom is already enjoying participating in the activities, which there are many to choose from. We love Washington.Oakes, and Maricel is the BEST!

Subsequently, we found our she had fairly advanced terminal cancer. The level of care and kindness shown by the entire staff (thanks, Kelly, Nedra, Michael) really touched our hearts. It's not the fanciest place I've seen, but the kindness, love and level of care mean that your loved one will be well taken care of. Our mom ended up in hospice, and eventually passed away in January, 2020. Throughout her suffering and our grief, the staff was kind, supportive and always helpful. They took most excellent care of her, both physically and emotionally. Thanks to all of you.

Come see for yourself. I as well as the whole staff at The Cottages take pride in the care that we offer here. I am also happy to add that every year we are visited by the state who survey's everything from the way we dust and water plants, to water temps, food menus, etc. We have had stellar scores with the state and our residents are happy, safe, and secure. While there is ALWAYS room for improvement I'm very proud of our community and the care we offer. It's very sad to see that there are people who are so miserable out there that they want everyone else to be miserable as well. Please come see us... Sincerely, Jeffrey B. Roberts

He needs help getting on the toilet and they refuse to help him, they shove a bed pan under him because it's easier. Then they forget him and he lays on bedpan for hours. He is there for rehab. Helping him get to toilet would help his rehab. He called us in the middle of the night and in the morning wanting to know where he is and why. My husband explained 4 times. It's clear to us he had a TIA or a mini stroke. We voiced concerns and they just sort of shrugged and said his vital signs are normal. My husband came home all emotional because his Dad's care is so awful. The food is awful. They are short staffed, and the place isn't that clean. His oxygen tube was laying on floor and they put it in his nose. He also got a sore on his left foot and they did nothing and it's possible he may lose his left leg if it doesn't heal. We moved him to Manor Care. Please do not take your love ones here. The care is really sub par.
