A difficult decision became wonderfully easy when we found Spring Oaks! From our very first visit…read morewe knew this place was different, very different. My fiancée's Mother was living in Tampa. She's a smart and witty woman, who raised a beautiful daughter! Our path in life includes ensuring Mom is happy and safe. We needed to find a caring and nurturing home closer to us, in Brooksville. By comparing the facility Mom was leaving and by our own previous combined experiences we knew exactly what to look for and what to expect. The day we were welcomed into Spring Oaks was a day we'll never forget! First, and foremost, is the incredible group of folks that make up the Spring Oaks family of employees. They embody all of the traits that any care givers should strive to attain. The continuous displays of sympathy and attention we witness are genuine and sincere. This includes not just the care staff but also the administrative and ancillary staff. To say the staff of Spring Oaks loves their residents is a huge understatement! Mom absolutely LOVES her new home and her new friends. We love that she is not just sleeping the day away or taking up space in a corner. Every day there are a variety of planned activities to keep the residents moving, thinking and laughing. With a piano in the main lobby, we never know who might take up tickling the ivories! As the music begins, the crowd grows and the voices lift in harmony! We LOVE singing along. Mom's favorite activity is Bingo!, of which she brags about her winning prowess. Another point I must discuss? The food. Not what you'd expect for an 'institutional' setting. The residents enjoy their meals in an informal dining room, seated at a table with three of their friends. The kitchen prepares a diverse variety of cuisine, including daily soups, main dishes and desserts. On holidays they prepare traditional fare, too. We know because we've tasted some amazing Corned Beef on St Patrick's Day and complete turkey dinners at Thanksgiving, for example. The staff always invites us to dine if we'd care to, not just for special occasions. As I am writing this review, I've found it more challenging than usual to translate my thoughts and feelings onto blank screen. Entrusting strangers with a loved one's care can be a daunting task. In so many instances there may be feelings of settling, of helplessness or even guilt. These are normal reactions typically, as we must walk away, virtually turning our backs on those who may have raised us and were there for us. BUT, my delightful conundrum is that I/we have NONE of those feelings about Spring Oaks and Mom being a part of that beautiful family. We, and she, feel the love and care each moment of every day. WE are wonderfully WOW'd!

My Mother arrived at Spring Oaks 6 short months ago. Before arriving, she lived a private home…read moreassisted living. My mother couldn't stand and needed lots of help with everyday tasks. She had been diagnoses with the onset of dementia and was told she would probably not get better. The staff at Spring Oaks are wonderful! And the change in my Mother in 6 short months is a miracle! She can walk, she can now dress and feed herself. I wish I could show you a before and after picture, so you can see the return of my Mom. She loves it at Spring Oaks. She has lots friends and keeps busy doing activities. Her mental condition has remarkably improved. I credit a lot of this miracle to the staff and people at Spring Oaks. The people that work there care. They are friendly and have treated my mom with love and respect. They pushed my Mom to get involved with activities and engaged with her like family. My Mom now calls Spring Oaks "Home". When I took my mom to Spring Oaks I trusted them to care of her...they did way more than that.

I wrote a review about Encompass Rehab in Spring Hill…read more Starters, I am not from Texas. This is Spring Hill in Florida. Also, Encompass said that if I had more to say I should email them directly. Well, I did that but their email address doesn't work. So they really don't want to hear from anyone. So I am writing more to them on here. The person I wrote about couldn't speak up for himself. No one contacted us to see how much he could understand. So he laid in bed and got bedsores, only ate very little, no one encouraged him to eat and/or drink.  If I would of been contacted, I could of filled your staff in on how this gentleman understood things and it takes him a long time to answer things. He has lived with me for over 6 years and I know him very well. He wasn't shaved, teeth brushed of showered. Had an awful odor when he was dropped off like a bag of garbage!

I have to take back everything I said in my other Review. I think the nurses and nurses aid were…read moregetting tired of my friend complaining. When I was there, they gave him a dose of Dilaudid. He fell asleep in five minutes. Apparently they gave him more Dilaudid overnight. When they came in his room in the morning, they could not wake him up. Thank God, they came and checked. They had to call paramedics in order to wake him up and they took him to Oak Hill Hospital. I myself would not go here. I know he will never go there again. He's in a much better nursing home now.
