Village Oaks At Greenwood

This summer, my family and I had to make one of the most difficult decisions that we have ever faced when my mother's doctor said that she was no longer safe living at home on her own due to dementia and other health concerns. My mother is a fiercely independent woman and the family did not want to take this away from her. She needed to be in an environment that would foster her independence as well as provide professional assistance if/when it was needed. After careful research and numerous visits to other facilities, we found the perfect solution for her and us, at Village Oaks. My mother was encouraged to decorate her room to suit her personality, which she did with personal items from home as well as a few new items to express the woman she is becoming. She even has bird feeders outside of her window to enjoy. Her room is her private sanctuary, however, when she is ready to socialize she can join other residents in one of the many common areas to chat, watch tv or join her tablemates for a meal in the beautiful dining room. My mom enjoys the outdoors and there is a beautiful courtyard designed to experience lone tranquility or for the entire family to enjoy a cookout or picnic. There are daily activities which much to the family's surprise mom participates in and even enjoys! The entire staff is incredible, I can't even remember most of their job titles as when I am visiting mom,I am treated like family. Being a very protective and cautious daughter, I frequently ask my mother how everyone is treating her and she is quick to assure me that ""they are all so kind and just Love her!"" In the many interactions I have witnessed between her and the staff I believe that most of them do. As hard as the decison is, if you or a loved one are at a point in life where assisted care living is the answer, I would highly recommend Village Oaks of Greenwood. Sincerely, Minnie Hoskins more

My mother-n-law just lost her husband and was diagnosed with dementia and was getting confused and argumentative so her daughters did some research and found village oaks. It was very difficult when we first took her there since she was leaving her home she lived in for 40 years and she said she did not want to be at village oaks. It has been 4 weeks now and she is doing great she gets involved with activities and has made friends and the staff are great we visit almost on a daily basis and at differnt times and everytime we go she is very happy and the other residents are happy to. Like I said this was a blessing to our family to find this place. more

IT is really sad what people will do to residents when OTHERS have there back turned. No one should decide when its your time to die and all meds should be watch VERY CAREFULLY ALL THE TIME. ARE THEY REALLY GETTING THEM. DID THE NURSE GIVE SOMEONE TOO MUCH. NOT A WELL RUN PLACE TO PUT A LOVE ONE. IF YOU WANT THEM TO BE AROUND FOR AWHILE. Pros: STAFF TRYS HARD more

The management there has a lot of ideas, but it seems like there is no action that follows. I would not recommend this place for anyone. more
