Review Summary
The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.
Reviews of Oak Knoll reveal a mixed bag of experiences, ranging from highly positive to deeply concerning. Some reviewers praise the facility for its cleanliness, the kindness, and professionalism of the staff, and the quality of care provided to their loved ones. They highlight the supportive environment, with one family member noting the comprehensive care their mother received from various departments, leading to a very satisfactory stay. Another reviewer appreciated the facility's responsiveness and personalized care plan during the pre-admission process, which gave them peace of mind.
On the other hand, several reviews raise serious concerns about the facility. Complaints include inadequate staffing levels, which some believe directly impacts the quality of care. There are allegations of neglect, such as failing to encourage residents to eat or maintain proper hygiene, leading to health issues like UTIs. Some reviewers accuse the facility of being disorganized, prioritizing profit over patient care, and providing misleading information about the services offered. Concerns about the facility's handling of emergencies and medication, as well as the overall attitude towards residents and their families, were also mentioned.
While some reviews commend Oak Knoll for treating residents like family and providing a clean and well-kept environment, others warn potential clients to reconsider placing their loved ones in the facility, citing experiences of abuse, neglect, and unprofessional behavior. The facility's approach to rehabilitation and long-term care is praised in some instances, yet criticized in others for a lack of adequate support and attention to individual needs.
In summary, Oak Knoll's reviews suggest that experiences can vary significantly. Prospective clients might find it beneficial to consider both the positive feedback regarding the care and environment and the negative reports of management and staff behavior when making a decision.
