Oak Shadows Retirement and Assisted Living is an old community, but the maintenance and everything are very good. The place is clean, and the staff is friendly so that’s what I like. I’ve been living here for over a year. We’ve got some really good meals and some so-so, but I’d say the food is good overall. They’ve got something going on just about every day, like trips to the grocery store or shopping center, so it’s up to what you want to do more or less. It’s the most economical place in the area.

I like my 2-bedroom apartment in Oak Shadows. You can have the temperature on or off. They have no activities to speak of, so I'm really dissatisfied with that, they just play Bingo on Tuesday afternoons. The activity room has a broken color TV, broken exercise equipment, and a broken computer, and they've been that way for 12 years or so. They take you on your medical appointments, so that’s good. The food is horrible though. The maintenance people are also pretty attentive.

I toured Oak Shadows Retirement. The staff looked courteous. There was a big hall where people could sit. The rooms were like studios. The facility was nice, quiet, and secured.

Oak Shadows' apartments were very nice and clean, but what they were giving me on paper for the size and price was something totally different. They showed me a unit that was not the same as what they were advertising. Instead, it was larger in size, but what I was being shown on paper was a lesser cost. If I hadn't asked, they would have never told me that it's not the same apartment. They'd start changing the price even more depending upon the view, but the view is bad either way you look at it. If you're in the back of the building, you'd look out on an open field, and if you're in front, you'd look at the main highway. The person who assisted me was average and he wasn't very knowledgeable because the sales person was not there that day.

My experience with Oak Shadows was very positive. The staff was very helpful and cooperative, it was good. They have everything, like a fitness and exercise room, cafeteria, and activity center. It's an older building, but my brother's room is very nice. It's like he lives in his own apartment and the price is very reasonable.

Oak Shadows was clean, and the people were very kind. They had many activities, and I liked that. I didn't like the area, but it was OK.
