Oaks at Stockbridge

I will be forever grateful for the amazing kindness and care from EVERYONE at the Oaks at Stockbridge during my Mother’s stay there. The kindness starts at the top, then continues through EVERY single person on staff there in EVERY position, and continues throughout the residents. My Mother’s every need was met by a joyful caregiver, and her room was always clean. She enjoyed all of the fun, engaging activities, and she was supported by some precious Christ-like friends that she met at the Oaks. Some of those special friends sat with her at every delicious meal. The Oaks at Stockbridge is an incredibly special place! Terry Moore

After Covid, my mother in law health declined as she began to isolate herself out of fear. Once it became too much for us to handle, we sent her here in June. We were seeing some small improvements in her overall health but she was a bit snappy and uncooperative at times. I think staff were exhausted and slowly giving up on her. They arranged a meeting to discuss hospice, stating that her health seemed to be declining. Against OUR better judgment, we agreed to move forward due to their “professional recommendation.” Something didn’t feel right to me..The last time we visited her, she was well, speaking, moving, and able to identify me, her son and her grandkids. A day or two after the agreement and signing the documents, we were told to come to the facility, as her time was running short. When we got there, she was in an unrecognizable state. She could not speak, could not turn her head, could not look at us- nothing. It was a sad sight to see. That evening, she passed.. only 1-2 mths after arriving. I truly believe that something was given to her that took her life. If only we had gotten the camera my instincts told me to get. If only we hadn’t signed the agreement…so many regrets. I hope that I’m wrong about this …. Just giving my honest review.

This place was an answer to prayer. My family had to make an decision regarding our mom needing more assistance in living and visiting this place made that decision easy. AnneMarie, Alexis, Christy and Shauna were such a joy to speak with and so welcoming. My daughter, daughter in law and I felt so at ease with everyone. It was like we had known each other a long time. The ease of everything was fabulous. The meals, the staff and the activities keeps everyone engaged. Our mom who is a "diva" kept saying "she wasn't going to like it" at every turn has yet to make that statement after being they for two weeks. As a previous ombudsman I had always hoped to find a place that checked all my boxes for my parents. So when I say "I am so pleased" is an understatement. Thank you for all the attention you share not only with my mom but with all the residents that I have had the pleasure of meeting. They are always available for any questions, situation or concerns you might have. Thank you for everything.
