“I am writing this testimonial to anyone who is trying to decide if The Oaks at Bartlett Assisted Living is the place for your loved one. I had to make this decision over 3 ½ years ago. I am so relieved I made the decision for Mom to live here…” – Carol Harrington

Mom was very happy living in the Oaks at Bartlett Independent Living for 10 years. She enjoyed her apartment, the activities, and the staff. When it became very obvious that Mom could no longer safely take care of herself without some assistance, we had to make the decision to move her to the Assisted Living wing.

Mom was under the impression that once she moved to Assisted Living, she would be stuck in a bed 24/7. This was not the case at all, and we needed to show her what Assisted Living entailed. The Oaks at Bartlett staff took her for a tour of the Assisted Living wing. She saw that she would have her own apartment with her own living room, her own bathroom, and it had a kitchenette. She saw the dining room, the relaxing and beautifully decorated sitting/activities room with a fireplace and live bird sanctuary and television. She saw the beautiful outdoor courtyard. She saw that she had easy access to the beauty shop, which she used weekly when she lived in Independent Living. After she saw the beautiful facilities, she was no longer hesitant about moving into these new surroundings.

Now after over 3 ½ years of living here, she looks forward to the many activities/games/crafts. She is getting the assistance she needs with the everyday aspects of living, that we take for granted, but that she can no longer do by herself. She is happy and comfortable. She loves the staff. They are so helpful, kind, competent, and always greet her with a smile. By the way, whenever I am visiting Mom, the staff always greet me with a smile as well. I have never regretted moving Mom to The Oaks at Bartlett Assisted Living. It was the perfect decision for Mom, and the perfect decision for me.

We are so very delighted we decided to move here! Mike and I have found The Oaks to be the perfect place for us. The staff and residents are friendly, supportive and helpful. We feel there are many opportunities to become engaged in activities, but never have felt pressured to do anything. There are plenty of activities on site and scheduled outings to enjoy in our communities. We have found both the pool and the walking path around the pond perfect for us to get our exercise. We believe the services available are all we could ever want or need.

I had some questions and concerns when we made the decision to move to The Oaks. However, it wasn't long before I became convinced this is a great place for Betsy and I to live. I enjoy the exercise room, opportunities to engage in activities I enjoy with the residents, and the very supportive staff. A big plus for us is the opportunity to attend mass or communion service every day. The grounds here are excellent for viewing and walking.

“I decided to move to The Oaks to be close to my family, but also because I couldn’t keep up with daily work and maintenance in my home. As a single person, everyone has been welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The amenities here are wonderful…” – Irene Kazanecki

I decided to move to The Oaks to be close to my family, but also because I couldn’t keep up with daily work and maintenance in my home. As a single person, everyone has been welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The amenities here are wonderful from the beauty shop to delicious meals in the dining room to laundry machines in my apartment. I have a beautiful view from my balcony. I looked at other places, but felt The Oaks was the right place for me to accommodate all my physical, spiritual, and mental needs in the best possible ways and I am so happy to be here.

I've lived here for 13 plus years, 7 years in a cottage and 6 years in an apartment in Independent Living. I enjoy all the activities available, especially daily mass, exercise class, and the pool. When my wife Darlene was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, the staff and other residents were extremely helpful and supportive. With the support from everyone in the community, I was able to take care of Darlene in our apartment until the last 3 days of her life. They equipped me with the tools and training on how to care for her in our apartment. When she passed away, the support from the other residents and the staff was unbelievable. I am grateful to be here and this is the best decision my wife and I made years ago. Our children were extremely supportive of our decision to move here as well.
