“From the moment we got there she felt so welcome and at ease.”
“Moving Mom from my home, due to dementia, was a difficult decision. Mom wasn't on board with it right away, which made it even harder. After many inquiries and tours Spring Oak was our #1 pick. Jessica Ott was amazing, making the process as easy as possible. Mom was anxious leading up to the move but from the moment we got there she felt so welcome and at ease. She loves her room and the food. The staff are so attentive and kind. She raves about how great everyone is.”

“It feels like home.”
Spring Oak is the new home for both my parents who have memories issues and ailments that needed full time attention to keep them healthy and safe.
Jessica Ott was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. She went above and beyond to help us in any way she could, making sure that my folks' transition went as smoothly as possible.
Everyone here is friendly and accommodating. The whole staff – from the front desk-nurse, to the activities director and chef – are driven by the desire to help both the family and their loved ones experience better lives.
I can call anytime during the day or night to check on either of my parents, which brings calm to me and my family.
There are fun activities daily and field trips to keep my folks cognitively active. There’s even a vegetable garden which brings joy to my mom. It feels like home. I recommend Spring Oak to anyone considering it for their loved one.”
