Reviews

Residents and their families say:

HomePlace Oak Harbor Memory Care has been positively reviewed for its very nice facility and clean environment. Reviewers were impressed with how friendly and caring the staff were, going above and beyond to treat residents with respect and dignity. The community's layout was praised for encouraging interaction among residents, preventing isolation, and ensuring no one gets lost in long hallways. Activities, including birthday and Valentine's Day parties, were highlighted for keeping residents engaged and entertained. The dining experience was mentioned favorably, with good food and a nice dining area that does not remind one of a nursing home atmosphere.
However, a few concerns were raised. Some reviewers found the facility's location less convenient, and others noted the rooms appeared older and tours felt rushed. Additionally, while the staff’s friendliness and dedication were consistently lauded, there were comments about staffing struggles, a common issue in long-term care homes. There was a desire for more variety in fresh fruits and vegetables in the meals. Despite these points, many felt that HomePlace provided a loving, attentive environment that felt like a big family home, significantly benefiting residents needing memory care. The community’s focus on small, well-designed neighborhoods and its commitment to high-quality care and responsiveness to family questions or requests set it apart as a recommended choice for loved ones.
