I've had a very good experience here at Spring Oak Assisted Living of Forked River for the past 5 weeks. I'm very happy to be here, and I feel included with the rest of the people that are here. I'm feeling really good about this place, and I feel more comfortable here than being at home with one leg. My room is extremely comfortable. The staff has been more than helpful to me. When I have some questions, they give me the answers quickly. The food here is not the best I ever had, but it certainly is not the worst either. They give you choices if you don't want the main thing they're serving.
Different things are going on every day. I was just downstairs a while ago playing chess with somebody. There's some Halloween activities coming up. I go to Walmart with them on Thursday mornings. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in activities before and after the meals and they have bus trips to the dollar store and Chinese restaurants and things like that.

This building needs to be upgraded. They have the memory care unit on the 3 floor If there was ever a fire half of the residents can get get out. The memory care floor has filthy dirty floors including tables and chairs. The poor residents sit in the dinning area all day long in dirty diapers looking at the walls. They are understaffed with just 1 CNA to 30 residents on the 3rd floor. The food they serve to the residents on the 3rd floor is horrific. I would never put my love one in a memory care facility like this.

My mom has just become a resident as of 2/14/17. I'm adding a review now because of how I was handled as an over-stressed, overwhelmed, frightened daughter entering a season of life that is so extremely delicate and scary. Most (90%) of the executive staff is helpful and ease the transition as best they can without making you feel as if your loved one is a "cash cow" and without sounding harsh, "a body in a bed =$$$...The support staff on the other hand (nurse, aides) are EXCEPTIONAL! We had a rough first and second day that can only be described as, "you can't make this up" with my mom and her declining diesese????. They (Mimi and Michelle) were compassionate and caring when even I couldn't take the stress. The serving staff (dining) are a bit harsh and rough on the residents and could use a bit more training in human kindness. After all these residents are far from charity and pay a substantial rent/fee for their home. Time will tell as to the care and kindness I will observe and critique as the weeks and months go by...I will update and adjust when necessary! We all should be more vocal in demanding superior care for our senior loved ones! We owe them our existence and should be treasured ????

I went to Spring Oak Assisted Living. The people whom I spoke to seemed very knowledgeable. She explained everything to me the best that I could comprehend it. She showed me some rooms. I asked one resident how she liked it there, and she sort of just shrugged her shoulder like "Ah, it's OK." The one thing that I didn't understand was she said after Medicaid paid their share, the social security and all that, somebody other than her in the family had to pay an extra $350, and I didn't understand why. What was that $350 for, and why did it have to come from somebody other than my mother?
I didn't speak to some of the staff because the ones that I saw walking around seemed to be doing their job. The only thing that I saw was that when you walk in, it was kind of dark. The lobby could be brighter and stuff like that.

My mother is in Spring Oak. The staff seems very committed to the patients, and I think that's the main thing that we noticed about it. They really make everybody feel comfortable. It's a clean, well-kept place. Every day, there are multiple things that they do. My mother is in the dementia unit, so they do mostly singing, bingo, and word games. They do a little bit of light exercise also. The security is very good. They can't leave the floor without authorization. They wear an electronic thing on their wrists that prevents them from using the elevator. I think it's a very nice place.

I really appreciated the staff's genuine nature. You can tell that they care about each person, not just doing their job. It was always very clean and as comfortable as it could be. They do trips and movie nights, which are the best part. It's hard to spend bonding time with a loved one when day after day you're just sitting in some room. I have gone fishing and to the mall and watched movies and it helps get everyone out and about. They put a lot of thought into everything they do here.

Thanks for another good month for Mom. She, and we, appreciate the helpful and friendly support that mom experiences every day at Spring Oak. She is both happy and content and Lillian and I have much peace. Blessings to all of you! Wayne

When my Dad lived at Spring Oak your front desk receptionists were always helpful and friendly to me and to my Dad. The housekeeping staff did an excellent job and the food service was always above expectations. An especially big thank you to the nurses, staff and aids in the Wellness Center who were considerate and dependable, no matter when I called. And to the management of Spring Oak for your assistance in putting me in contact with the services that helped to provide my Dad with the best possible care
