    My mother lived at North Oaks (including in the Autumn Ridge [Assisted Living] section) from late…read moreApril of 2014 until her death in late October of this year. She was in the Independent Living section during her first nearly-three years, and that's where the majority of problems transpired. There was a significant unresponsiveness of "in charge" personnel on multiple occasions: #1: One time my mother fell in her apartment and fractured her wrist. She called me and I got the Security guy to go up there, and he had an aide sent to my mother's apartment - but even though I'd already arranged for my nephew to go there and take my mother to the hospital, the aide *refused* to wait (a short while) until he arrived. #2: Another time, an aide forgot to go to my mother's apartment to dispense her medications (fortunately I was able to get a nurse from the Assisted Living section to go to my mother's apartment). #3: Another time, an aide became angry that my mother had already taken her pills before the aide's arrival (my mother had waited much longer than usual), and the aide - in retribution - didn't dispense my mother's next pill (which was *dangerous*) and she also didn't put out my mother's lunch foods (the latter needed to be done temporarily because my mother's broken wrist hadn't yet healed). Fortunately that aide was fired - but another time, the aide never went to my mother's apartment to dispense the morning pills. #4: My mother was erroneously billed for several things and multiple people kept refusing to delete those charges from her monthly bill (I handled all of those things - but the amount of time and effort required to contend with all of that was absolutely inexcusable). North Oaks has been under new management for more than a year and the situation seems to have improved - and admittedly it's probably a better place than many other facilities, which is why I'm giving four stars when otherwise I'd only give three. Meanwhile; during the 6 2/3 years that my mother lived in the Assisted Living section, there was a significant shortage of personnel during much of that time and a significant turnover of senior staff - although to be fair, covid had commenced about 3 1/2 years prior to my mother's death and therefore the former situation was typical everywhere. A few of the nurses worked there for a long time and they were wonderful. However; the ongoing staff shortage necessitated my needing to hire private aides ten hours/day for about the last 2 1/2 years of my mother's life, because it wasn't safe for her to be left alone for most of 24 hours/day - and she'd fallen in her room and broken her hip when left unattended for several hours before I'd hired the private aides (and I'm still devastated to remember that she was crying out for help and it took eons for someone to respond), so that was the precipitating factor in needing to hire private aides. Needless to say, the cost of those aides was exorbitant when combined with the cost of the facility.

    My grandparents moved here and had an absolutely horrible experience. From the moving process, to…read morehaving property stolen, to being uprooted for renovations and moved into a dysfunctional apartment, to the abusive dining staff (only in the early morning when the families aren't around to witness - but I did), to the management that puts residents off expecting they'll forget the problems or just give up because they're old... this place is the pits. Living there was hell for my grandparents and certainly not a welcome experience in their late stage of life. North Oaks does a very good sales pitch and presented quite well but after the money is in the bank, the contract's signed, and a few months into the daily life their true colors start to show. After moving out. receiving back their "return-of-capital" returned took an excessively long time and required much follow up. Moving into this property was my grandparents' final plan. The stress that living there caused gave my grandfather health issues and lowered their quality of life. We wound up moving them to another (IMO far better run and significantly cheaper) retirement center at their request despite the cost and hassle because the conditions wound up being too hard for them there. Moving again caused them further hardship. Be very wary when considering this property for a loved one. Things aren't always how they appear to be from the outside.
