The Oakdale Skilled Nursing Care Center is the absolute best option I have seen for anyone in search of the best care tor their loved ones. I have recently been comparing the options available for my loved one and was thoroughly impressed with Oakdale. I learned they have underwent many changes in the last year to separate them from the other options in this region. I learned a lot of the reasons for the improvements was the new leadership in many areas at Oakdale. The new management has focused on improving the facility as a whole. The facility is extremely clean and well kept with brand new remodeling throughout the facility. The highly qualified staff at Oakdale offers a feeling of confidence that your family member will receive professional care no matter the individual needs required. They make individualized care a top priority by employing the very best staff possible and they also offer therapy for outpatient services as well. It was an easy choice after comparing the different options and Oakdale is so accommodating it is a no brainer what care center is the best option for my loved one.
