Hear From Residents and Family of The Oaks at Algonquin Senior Living!

We were looking for an assisted living facility for my grandma to live in while she lived in Del Webb and my mom found this really nice facility right here. My grandma has been living here for about a year now and she really like her apartment there! They are very good at taking care of the people who live here! Very friendly helpers and also very nice neighbors! This is a very nice place to live in and also everything smells like new in the hallway and also the staff were very nice to us. I would highly recommend anyone who needs support and help for their relatives to live here!

After seriously viewing other retirement locations, it was easy to be impressed with the Oaks!. Brian gave my daughter and me the tour!When my friends learned of my interest, they called the next day and Brian showed them through. They were impressed, too….the space, color, activities, friendliness! Thanks to Brian spending time showing off the place I now call home. I hope they sign-up,

My mom was a resident at Oaks at Algonquin with her dog Nina. You can’t imagine how beneficial Nina was to the residents there! They all loved her and she provided the much needed therapy for everyone. Unfortunatelly this is no longer possible as she moved because of David William.She has only let Nina off her leash where there was nobody outside. There was never a risk of her approaching anyone and she never caused any trouble. On the contrary, everyone absolutely loved her.Many people there asked my mom why she was moving and the only answer she gave them was: certain people (like David William) made hers and Nina’s lives incredibly difficult. She was even told that Kim, of the the receptionists there, made up a story that “Nina came viciously to her”. This could never ever happened as my mom was with Nina the whole time and she never saw it and also Nina is extremelly friendly and she loves everyone!Finally, it’s a real shame that such a beautiful place with such wonderful people is managed by someone like David William.

My parents moved into The Oaks in June of 2022. We have been very impressed with the caring and compassionate staff as well as the quality of the food served in their 2 restaurants. Jim and Shelly coordinate many different activities and meaningful events that are especially exceptional and often include family and friends. I often recommend the facility to those looking for a quality retirement community. Our family has been very happy with them!

What a great experience ! It started as we were greeted when we walked in the door. Brian is very knowledgeable about The Oaks. He took us to the desired apts, allowing us to “ get a feel” for the size and style, layout while also answering all questions , ( trust me there were a lot ).As we were looking at the different floor plans, he was also talking and showing us all of the amenities throughout the community. We ended up at the main restaurant, where he invited us to return and enjoy breakfast ,lunch, or dinner, , further getting a feel for what goes on, and resident interaction.After we completed the tour, we asked for a few minutes to sit and chat, but also observe how some of the other residents interact daily. We were very pleased, with the looks, the tour, and also with Brian’s patient and knowledge, and the “No Pressure” attitude.My mom said she felt good about everything!! We agreed to return the next day with my son so he could see and get a feel for the community where she would be staying. He agreed, it was comfortable and the right place for grandma. After having a little discussion, we all agreed and signed the lease.What a wonderful experience for mom, as well as myself, and even my son.Thanks Brian !

The staff is exceptional and very reliable.From the first experience visiting, to make sure it would be a good fit for my mom, to moving it, we never had any question that the Oaks was her place.Special shout out to Brian for his patience and concern for a smooth move in. Can’t say enough 🏆

I have already told many of my friends about this beautiful new community. The amenities are amazing and yet you feel at home. The management and staff however put it over the top. I have never worked with a more accommodating, professional and caring staff who really do all they can to help and make you feel important and at home.My Dad has been there only a month, but the staff continues to learn his needs and provide him the best possible environment.

An absolutely stunning facility, the layout is outstanding and well thought out, the staff are very friendly. I sampled food made by their chef and it was exquisite. The campus hosts a movie theatre, multiple dining rooms, art activities room, gathering/recreation room, multiple outdoor patios, just too many too list. You have to come and see it for yourself. You will be impressed and blown away by all the amenities The Oaks of Algonquin has to offer. Thank you
