Oaks at Post Road

Fantastic💯

My Dad’s health has been a challenge for the past 3 1/2 years and my Mom has been struggling to take care of him. Although they didn’t want to lose their “independence”, we felt it was the best thing for them both to move into this facility. We looked at many facilities in the area, and we felt the Oaks at Post Road would provide the best atmosphere by far to any facility we toured, so we moved them into the Oaks at Post Road in early March. We can’t say enough about the people who run this facility. Doug Nestlehutt, the Executive Director of the facility is very accommodating and has selected a great staff who really cares about the residents. Angie Hatzileris is the Community Relations Director and she was instrumental in helping us get my parents into the apartment that would best meet their financial picture & physical needs. Sam Cavrk, the Maintenance Director allowed us access to the apartment early and made sure all the minor modifications we requested were completed very quickly so that we could get things staged before my parents moved in. Last, but not least, Jennifer Zwolinski, the Lifestyle Director is a lovely person who met my parents to understand their needs and has been encouraging them to join in the group activities she has planned. I have been witnessing her work over the last several weeks as she continually matches residents up with activities and similar interests so that they can form friendships and feel that they’re part of their community. As a result, the transition to this new way of living has been a lot easier than we thought it would be for them. We would recommend this facility to anyone who has older parents who need a little extra care.

My mom is a resident of the Oaks on Post Road. She has been there for two years and it has been a great place for her to be. She has friends to be with and talk to. She loves to play the piano and Jennifer and the staff urge her to play. Which is exercise for her memory since she has dementia. The staff is always kind and helpful and I love each and everyone of them. They work very hard. Other things, my mother loves are the activities, especially the Bible study, doing art, music, the movement classes, and playing games, bingo in particular. There Seems to be always something going on to keep them busy. Which is just a great thing because they need the community and the activities For their mind and just creating a happy atmosphere. I just want to thank all the Staff that work there.

Six weeks ago, our family made the incredibly difficult decision to move my mom into The Oaks at Post Road after a year of trying to meet her needs at home. We toured many facilities, but from the very first visit, The Oaks just felt different. Jennifer, the Activities Director, met us on a Saturday to give us a tour. We later learned it was actually her day off—she had come in to prepare activities for the residents that week. That moment spoke volumes, and since then, she has continued to exceed every expectation. Jennifer knows every resident by name and creates meaningful, engaging activities each day. My mom, who has never been particularly social, now looks forward to participating every morning and afternoon. It’s been incredible to watch her come alive again. One of the things we love most is how welcoming The Oaks is to families. Our two daughters love visiting their Mimi because there is always something fun happening—crafts, bingo, snacks, or even planting flowers outside. It has turned visits into joyful experiences for all of us. We also notice, every single time we visit, that each staff member is actively engaging with residents and meeting their needs. That consistency and level of care is something you don’t always find, and it brings our family so much peace. Seeing my mom truly thrive has been such a gift. Her smile is bigger than it has been in years. We are also so grateful for Eve, one of the nurses, who is simply exceptional. Before coming to The Oaks, my mom had many hospital stays, and we have never experienced the level of care and genuine love that Eve provides. She knows all 14 members of our family by name and always takes the time to update us when we visit. Her compassion and attention to detail are unmatched. Moving a loved one into assisted living is never easy, but The Oaks at Post Road has made that transition feel right. It truly feels like home—not just for the residents, but for their families as well. We are beyond thankful.
