Keep in mind my father is in the skilled nursing area. My answers only speak to that area. I cannot really speak to the Assisted Living area. I have not personally eaten the food but it looks good and they will gladly allow for substitutions. I cannot really speak to this. They seem to offer a variety of activities for the patients. As far as I know, dad does not really participate in them. while Luther Oaks is a little more expensive that other facilities I would highly recommend it. We visited many different facilities. The cleanliness, staff, and overall atmosphere put it on top for our father's needs.

Good intentions, poor follow through

The company is in bankruptcy. They are trying hard to maintain their top quality care but it's not possible with the high staff turnover.

Not recommended

If this is the trend for healthcare in our society for the elderly, we are in deep trouble. I don't know how other facilities work, but if this is an example it is a sad reflection on how we treat our elderly. Don't expect a lot from housekeeping, they basically take the garbage out and run a Swiffer over a couple of surfaces and that's about it. The move-in process went fairly well, however, they employed teenagers that cared little about others' property. The meals are okay considering it's an institution food service. As long as you're mobile and in good health it's not a terrible place to live. If you have any difficulties whatsoever with memory mobility chronic health illnesses a person will be shoved aside and ignored. The bottom line for this institution and possibly all the institutions like this is, they want to get their hands on your money and once that happens you're out of luck. For some reason I thought this type of facility would be a higher quality. I was sadly mistaken. As long as someone does not believe anything that they tell you at the time of signing contracts because they are pathological liars and will tell you whatever they think you want to hear to get a check from you. Keep in mind it is a big check that they make money on and you will never see it again. I could not, in good conscience, recommend this facility.

My loved one was previously a resident at Luther Oaks and the overall experience was very good for her. The cleanliness and friendliness were good. The staff, care services, meals and activities were also good. Based on our experience, I would recommend Luther Oaks to others.

A great community!

Luther Oaks has been a beautiful and welcoming community. Compared to other life care communities, it seems very reasonable in cost. My mom is in independent living but the other levels of care seem to be consistent. We would absolutely recommend this community to other families- a great place!

Great Solution

We have been very pleased so far with Luther Oaks, they have made the experience for our loved one and family very positive. From the transition and up until now they have been very personalized and made everything pretty easy. Overall it has been a solid 5 star experience and the other residents living there are very caring and so friendly. We would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

Nice Facility-Awesome CNAs' but Family Should Advocate for Residents

My loved one likes the food a lot. Sometimes they are short staffed. There is a group of CNA's who are good, which has been a positive experience. They should get paid more, since they work well with the residents. Overall, the facility needs to communicate, much better. If you need to talk, to a nurse they are in the locked memory care area. They are always helpful.

Lots of potential, lots of challenges

There were some rough patches. I would suggest to, request a copy of the contract early, and make sure you get a resident's handbook. Furthermore, if things aren't clear, ask until you get an answer.

very good place for the money

The Luther Oaks is a very nice and clean community, right when you walk in you just notice how clean and fresh it smells. The staff members have been very friendly so far. Our loved one really seems to be enjoying the meals and dining service and the activities are good. Based on our experience so far we would recommend this community to others

Overall a Good Experience

My loved one is happy here. My loved one thinks everyone is friendly and nice. The meals are really good and my loved one says they haven't had a bad one yet. The staff have been good to work with the family. Some of the activities include bible study, movies, and more for the residents to choose from. They are pet friendly and are very welcoming to the residents and guests.

Not meeting potential

We put our money down and picked a move in date, we did not get the 40 page contract until the day we moved in and we had to sign it right then and there. It then took a month to get a copy of that contract. When I got it and read it I realized there was a resident handbook that we did not get. They told me they do not hand it out anymore even though things I read were very important. When you move in, you are practically on your own to figure things out. Someone is supposed to clean residents rooms for an hour every other week and I do not see anything being done other than the bed being made. It is not clean unless I go in and do it for her. They are having staffing issues, they have a shortage of people to do things like clean and serve the meals. The options on the food menus are not healthy, they have a lot of bread and fillers. Their big meal is at night, I think it would be beneficial if they changed that to lunch time. I know they have just hired a new food service, I am hopeful that things will change. Overall there have been many things that we are disappointed with during our experience. It is a very nice facility that has a ton of potential.

Comfortable, Quality, and Safe Living for Senior Loved Ones

During the initial tour, I worked with the admissions director. But all of their sales staff were very helpful. They walk you through the entire process. We were able to see many different apartments. They wanted to know about and hear about my loved one, and that helped guide us to apartments and locations within the independent living community. With her mobility, they recommended a first floor apartment which has worked out perfectly for her. They just genuinely want to know about the residents. They offer a lot of activities, and though she's still getting acclimated and trying things out, she's really been enjoying what she's done so far. The staff even asked her recently what type of activities she would like to see, because they want to make sure they're meeting the wants and needs of their residents.

Living Here

I have lived here in Independent Living for over two years. I am almost 85 years old and still very active. I love it here so much and only wish I had moved here sooner. The staff is wonderful, the meals are absolutely fine dining and there are many, many activities to take part in, if you so wish. Also, I have made many new friends and love eating dinner with them or sharing activities. If you are thinking of making the move.... do not wait too long!

Disappointing

My first impression of the facility was five-star worthy however I witnessed an incident in the memory unit that made me shake my head in disbelief. One of the staff members was dealing with an agitated resident and called out for back-up at least five times and not one of the group of 3 or 4 staff members standing around talking went on to help out. That's not even the worst of it. A family member who was visiting one of the residents ended up running out of her loved ones room to assist the staff member! Is that how little they care about a resident who is agitated and in need of help? The staff in the memory unit at Luther Oaks should be ashamed of themselves.

I toured this community to help my friends. The staff answered all of my questions. It was very high end here and nice. It was clean. There were different levels of care and they would have to evaluate my friends to see what level they were. This just wasn’t a good fit for them. This was the Cadillac of Communities but you had to pay for that Cadillac.
