Our Family's Experience

He lost so much weight that they said they had to discharge him. Depressing environment and probably underpaid and unmotivated. Probably a "get what you pay for" scenario as the cost was at the bottom of the range. Obviously no money going into upgrades.

Cleanliness

Everything is great except they don’t do a good job at all at cleaning their rooms! There’s always food crumbs and dirt on the floor. Other than that, the staff is very friendly and do a good job. They’re always contacting me with any issues.

Good fit for Mom.

The value for the money was what really stuck out to me about Gordon Oaks over other places I saw. After visiting, I felt confident that this was the best place possible to place my Mom. The staff is friendly and attentive.

a great experience, consistent staff, highly recommend

We are very pleased with Gordon Oaks! The staff is wonderful. Almost everyone working there has been there for a long time and loves their job and is very good with the seniors. The nurse in charge has been there for years. And has a great reputation among nurses I know that do not work at Gordon oaks. {name removed] is her name Highly recommended

Care doesn't equal cost

The facility is understaffed, laundry items may come up missing, cleanliness is concerning regarding resident rooms. They could hire on more professionals to be fully staffed as this is private care and ensure that residents, along with their areas, are maintained properly. They are supposed to be starting on renovations, I haven't seen any change yet. At this time, I would not recommend this facility to others.

Friendly Staff

It's pretty good. They have plenty of activities. We picked this community, because of word of mouth, and other people had loved ones there. The cleanliness needs to improve.

Good value for the cost for your loved one.

My best experience has been with the nursing staff. The head nurse keeps our family informed on a regular basis. She is not an alarmist, which we appreciative. At a previous facility, we were getting constant unnecessary calls about normal dementia behaviors, and that doesn't happen here. The head nurse is very attentive and responsive to our needs and requests. So we feel very comfortable with the nursing staff. I wasn't as comfortable with the admissions folks, but the nurse has been great. We've had some issues with clothes getting lost, or we've have seen them on other residents. But I understand those things happen. Overall I think it's a very good value.

Great Value for the Money

This is a very nice mid level community. It is like a Holiday Inn Hotel level of communities. The staff are very nice and accommodating towards the family and residents. My loved one loved the food. Some of the activities offered include arts and crafts, exercises, holiday celebrations, and more for the residents to choose from.

My Tour

Didn't like the shower setup or the memory care being on the second floor. They are working on renovating. The tour was informative, very detailed, professional tour.

I would recommend

We chose Gordon Oaks because of the overall feel of the facility. The staff are very friendly and the layout of the facility is great. I do think they could improve on communication to families. We have had a good experience and would recommend to others looking.

Has health services right on site, but since it does not have a contract with my Dad's medi-gap coverage could be of limited use for him; also the size would be overwhelming for him, plus dining hall is in a separate building from the independent living spaces we saw, and must cross a well-used parking lot to access. The buildings are beginning to look a bit worse for the wear. They do have a continuum of care, however, which would be nice as Dad ages.
