Very happy that I chose Oakwood Residence First
First my Mom was in the hospital then she had to leave so I put her in Oakwood rehabilitation, knowing I chose Oakwood Residence for her place to live. It was the best decision I could have made. The rehab was nice, the workers were really nice. But when she had to move over to residence it was wonderful!! I really love it there for her. The staff is wonderful. The other residents are really nice. Although I couldn’t be happier with her there, I know she is well cared for. The most important thing is that my Mom is very happy there! She has made friends & is safe & secure. There is always something to do. They really try to keep them busy. Highly recommend it there!!

Not that Kind of Place
The facility is operated by Hasidic Jews and looks outdated from the inside that includes the lobbies and residents rooms. There is also a foul odor that comes from the old plumbing from the sinks and toilets. The ceiliong lights are too bright and the facility itself doesn't look appealing.The conservative Jewish Administrator puts his religion and principals before the needs of the residents and is hardly available when you need to speak to him since he takes off on Jewish and non-Jewish holidays and is prohibited from working on his Sabbath. The Directors and he are supposed to work Monday through Friday and be on call most of time in the event of emergencies however that doesn't happen because there is nobody from the administration that is available after 5 pm nor on weekends except for the nursing staff which I consider lax and nonchalant.

Oakwood Residence is fully staffed around the clock with on-call administrative coverage after hours, including weekends. We pride ourselves in being available to residents and families to meet their needs. Our community is being constantly updated. Please feel free to reach out to the Administration with your specific concerns.

Community Looked and felt outdated
We didn't care for this community very much. Walking around you could not help but notice that everything was dated from the lobby to the resident's rooms nothing had been replaced in quite awhile. The only area that didn't give me a true nursing home feel was the dining area and that is setup like a restaurant. My aunt would have had to share a room and a bathroom in order for this community to fit within her budget and that was not going to work. However, the staff was friendly and helpful.

I have placed my mother-in-law in Oakwood residence. she is 91 years old and her son just passed away and I thought she needed to be around people her own age. she has not changed at all in the three weeks she has been there. I was hoping she would get involved but she just sits in her room. maybe time will change all so I am waiting.

Independent living at Oakwood
My father is currently residing in the only independent living studio apartment at Oakwood Residence and it has worked out quite well. The apartment is a perfect size and my Dad enjoys 3 meals/day + snacks, and has participated in several of the activities offered to the residents. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, and my Dad's transition has been practically seamless.

I found Oakwood Residence to be a nice friendly clean place. The director, Sandra, was delightful to work with. Very personable. We went for a tour of all the amenities. Every staff member that we encountered seemed to be pleasant and happy in their work. We stayed for lunch and had a lovely meal served by a nice attentive server. Everyone was so friendly. We are looking forward to our mother moving in in the very near future.

This was the first Residence we visited and we liked everything about it. We spoke to a few residents who have lived there for years and enjoyed living there. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and interacted with the residents. There were many activities and outside trips available. Mom needs minimal assistance with bathing/showering, walking and meds. She walks around with a walker, but for short distances at a time and never had the need to use a wheelchair nor knows how to use one. This was the only reason she would not be able to live there. Not only for safety reasons, she also needed to be able to get herself to the dining room for meals.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Pennsylvania regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Pennsylvania regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Oakwood Residence 9.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
