Silver Oak Manor was nice. The lady was really professional and took time out to show us the assisted living side. They had another side for more needy memory loss people, but when your mom has been living on her own for some years, it's hard to see her going to a room with another person. They had the option if you want to pay more, you could get a room to yourself. They had a TV room where everybody would go and visit and watch TV. They had a little dining area that wasn't bad. My girlfriend's mother was in there. It made me think of a hospital room where you just lay in bed.

My mom was admitted there under Hospice care about 2 years ago and was given a couple months to live. It was very hard for me but the staff was very caring and helped me through the process. They have taken great care of mom and have nursed her back to health.

I have a lot of family members that are in nursing homes, whether they are old and helpless, or young and the same. My cousin Sarah is an elderly woman, and can no longer take care for herself, neither can her family. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease about a year ago, and has been going downhill ever since her diagnosis. Since I am younger and in shape, I have tried to lend out a helping hand to my sweet cousin. Since I don't live anywhere near her, it is quite impossible with my work schedule. I have tried to put as much as I can into seeing that she receives good care, but have found out that genuine care is hard to come by. Silver Oak Manor, is one of the few exceptions I have come across. All of the staff treat my Cousin with the utmost care, and make her feel like they really want her there. They don't make her feel like a nuisance, or get frustrated with her demands. They see that she is properly nourished, and make sure that she has enjoyable amenities. The interior is very clean, and you can tell that it is well up-kept.
