Testimonials

I was very satisfied with Oakbrook while I was there. They had good food and the meals were served by caring people. The cleaning people were there every day and it doesn’t smell like what you think a nursing home would. The smiles from everyone really mean a lot when you’re sick and the staff never looked like they didn’t like their job. All in all, a top notch home! I’ve been spreading the work to others!
