The Oaks at Lakewood

My sister spent over two months at The Oaks at Lakewood and the care she received was truly exceptional. While our family was initially skeptical — everyone has heard stories of neglect in care facilities, right? — The Oaks quickly proved themselves to be different. From the CNAs to the doctors on rounds, and every staff beyond and in between, the professionalism, warmth, and respect shown to my sister was unwavering. The administrative team was equally competent and supportive. It was clear she was never treated as “just another patient,” but cared for as an individual with dignity and compassion. There are too many names to name, and I don’t want to leave anyone out. However, every single staff member was an integral part of her team. The facility itself was spotless, and the food options were flexible and enjoyable — my sister genuinely loved the choices, including the optional sandwich menu and shrimp Mondays was always a special treat. While she never joined in on Bingo or Karaoke night or any of the recreational activities, it was a fun thought that she could. That level of dedication made her stay not only reassuring but also memorable. If I need care, I will consider leaving Seattle to stay at The Oaks. I am deeply grateful for the outstanding care provided. The Oaks in Lakewood deserves recognition for creating an environment where patients feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared for. I’m sure my sister was not an exception. (As a bonus, it was always fun to wheel sister outside to look to see if Milo, the cat happened to be nesting in his condo).

Everyone there has been awesome. Taking care of my brother Alfred. He's there for rehab. The staff has been awesome and very helpful. With my brother Alfred's care. I'm leaving to go home to Vegas, I feel comfortable leaving him in their care.

The Oaks of Lakewood is a well-maintained skilled nursing facility that offers a supportive and professional environment for both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care. The facility is clean, organized, and thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of residents at various levels of care. What stands out most is the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff. From nursing to administration, the team is approachable, compassionate, and genuinely committed to the well-being of residents. Communication with families is clear and consistent, which helps build trust and peace of mind! It has been the best facility I have been to!
