Review for Amber Oaks Assisted Living

Overall I would give them a 4. I have noticed at times they have staffing issues but it doesn't seem to effect the care very much. My dad is very independent and only needs minimal assistance. May be different for those requiring more help. The individual rooms are nice but small with a small kitchenette area with microwave and small refrigerator, small sink, and cabinets for limited storage. Large closet. The bathroom is large and handicap accessible. Larger rooms are available. My dad has no complaints regarding the meals. He says they do a great breakfast. He is very fond of his caregivers and calls them his "friends". We have had a great experience with Amber Oaks. It took my dad a little bit to get acclimated to Assisted living but seems to doing well. He went through cancer treatment there and the staff assisted him with his meds and made sure he was well nourished.

Positive experience

#1 Our overall experience has been great I would definitely give them a 5. #2 Considering the type of facility they do a great job keeping the facility clean and sanitary. My dad is very independent so he doesn't need a lot of assistance. I would give them a 4. #3. The staff are very friendly and attentive to my dad. He speaks highly of his care givers. #4 My dad doesn't require much so I can only say he's satisfied. He went thru Chemo a few months ago and the staff did well with helping him with his meds. I'd probably give them a 4. #5 I haven had a lot if dealing with the Admin Staff. They have always been very professional and interested in Dad well being so I'd give them a 5. #6 The food, according to my dad is good. He is well nourished and has gained the weight he lost back. He is thriving. I would give them a 4. #7 It seems as though many activities are scheduled and offered. My dad is not one for participation so he doesn't attend many of the planned activities. They work it so I'd give them a 4. #8. I think the value of Amber Oaks is very good. Before dad was placed I visited several facilities prior to Amber Oaks. We were trying to stay in a manageable budget and quite frankly many of the other facilities were more expensive and dad would have had to share a room. He has his own space, bathroom and a room with a view he enjoys. For $[removed]. To $[removed] less per month depending on the facility. So in my opinion the value is great. Definitely a 5.

Great place to be

We love the place, the food is biggest drawback, not much variety, too much salt used, some meals not very appetizing. Quality of care is good, just a lot of turnover which causes confusion sometimes, especially with medicine, bath routines and such.

Definitely recommended

My loved one is currently a resident at Amber Oaks Assisted Living. I would give this facility a rating of 20, if I could. I'm so happy to have them! All of the staff have gone above and beyond for my loved one. The food is wonderful. I have never been to a facility that smells clean at all times! They do a fantastic job. I would definitely recommend this facility to family and friends!

Great place, reasonable cost.

As with many other industries, they are short on help, therefore lacking quality in some areas. The owner/director is accommodating and compassionate. Most of the staff are very good and caring, a few don't care about the residents and shouldn't be there but I understand the home needs the help. I would definitely recommend Amber Oaks, despite their issues, it's still a great place at very reasonable cost.

A great place for loved ones

We really like that the staff at Amber Oaks seem very really, they are not putting on a show for us. Whenever something happens they are very open and transparent which we appreciate it. Every time we talk with our loved one she always says the meals are amazing. They are lacking in the activities department they could improve on that but based on our experience we would definitely recommend this community to other families.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Kentucky regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Kentucky regulations for Assisted Living.
