Oak Woods Manor is great. I have my independence and that is very important to me. We friendly and amazing staff that is always available if we need anything. The building does not smell and is very clean. Animals are allowed but there are rules that are enforced and must be followed regarding their care. Meals are great and always hot and fresh. Waitstaff is amazing and very helpful. The housekeepers are wonderful and keep the place looking great. My only regret is that I didn’t move here sooner.

Best Decision for Mom!
After my Dad passed my sister and I did not want my Mom to be home in the country alone. Greatest choice we made was to move her to Oak Wood Manor in LaPorte, IN.! She made so many new friends, got involved in so many activities such as crafts, bingo and games! She also enjoyed the Bible studies and entertainment that Oakwood provided. She 100% enjoyed living at Oakwood! Had she stayed at her home, she would have sat and watched TV all day and evening! Thank You Oakwood Manor!

I’ve been here 7 months so far and I’m enjoying it. The meals have been amazing and the chef is open to new ideas. The staff is great. It’s feels like home and I’ve made so many new friends. I love the activities and bus outings as well. The best part is that my cat can be here with me.

My mother loves it here and enjoys her independence
Mom was having frequent falls and her safety was a concern. After moving her to Oak Woods Manor we can rest assured that she is safe and looked after. Mom has thrived significantly and enjoys her friends, friendly staff, and amazing meals. Mom has even participated in several new activities that she would not have experienced from home. This has been a positive life changing experience all the way around.

Disappointed
Well water, not city water. They spray for ants in the resident rooms. Because there are ants in resident kitchens. Emergency pull chains are only located in the resident bathrooms. Only some rooms have a walk in shower, most have a very high step in tub. Windows were difficult to open in the resident rooms. Only basic cable is included. Very limited channels. Nighttime front desk staff was not pleasant. Small dogs and cats are allowed-the hallways often smelled of animal pee/poop. Residents did not clean up animal feces in the grassy outside areas. Not enough outside seating. Washer/dryer room has restricted hours of use for residents. Very inconvenient. Need newer/more machines. Difficult to access building after 7 pm. No staff at desk to answer the doorbell. Sign in/out sheet is out of date--and inconvenient. Staff delivered/administered medications to residents. No defibrillator on premise. Staff has keys to every room No cameras in hallways= no visibility of residents except call button if a resident falls or enters another residents room. And no staff accountability when entering a residents room. Emergency back up lights failed once they ran out of charge leaving residents in the dark. Candles and flashlights were used during outages. No handrails along the hallway walls. Food is carb heavy. Dining service is slow. Not enough kitchen/wait staff. Hot food was often cold and unappetizing. Breakfast was bland and worse than a cheap hotel chain. Offerings were often out of stock. Same items every day. Took away hot food service that was offered 2x a week. Snacks are offered daily. Mostly sugary sweet items. Lobby TV was too loud. Staff encouraged residents to leave area by 8pm Always chilly. 72 degrees year round. Busing service was great in the beginning. Then became by advance reservation only Not many outings Very few activities

Review for Oak Woods Manor
It was a beautiful place! We picked this community, because they offered short term stays. Facility and staff were fabulous. It was very nice, loved that they allowed time for my dad to count doors to the elevator and allowed him the extra time he needed to feel comfortable.

A Place for Mom has scored Oak Woods Manor 9.2 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score.
