Oak Cottage of Santa Barbara Memory Care

I went to Oak Cottage of Santa Barbara Memory Care. The place is great. The tour is great. The place is a good place. The staff member was real good. She's a really good person. She was informative and understood things that are part of it when your loved one loses their memory. When I left there I almost felt like, I just felt better, like I'm not crazy. This is really hard. And she just really regretted the fact that this is a really hard thing to go through, and it just made me feel like I'm OK. This is just rough. They offer exercise and meditation. All I saw was what they offered for the hour I was there.

We're very happy with Oak Cottage of Santa Barbara Memory Care. We chose them because they seemed to be a good fit for the state that my mom was in. She's still mobile and still vibrant. She needed somebody to be with her, but she didn't need to be locked down in a room. She still can get out, do activities, be active, engage with other people, and take part in activities onsite and offsite. We've seen her do things from their Facebook page. We've seen her involved in activities we never would have thought she would have done before, so we're very happy. It's a memory care facility. They're very good. They seem to be really on top of it. They are in contact with us almost daily, just on her progress or if there is anything that comes up, we're informed about it, if there's something we can do about it, that type of thing. They've worked with us very well. The transition Is the toughest part, and they're good at that. If she's eating anything, the food's got to be a five because she's pretty picky. The activities appear to be good. The only source I can see is Facebook, but they do a very good job of updating the activities. The communication and the accessibility to see your loved one or whatever is involved in activities is excellent there. I can any time look at the Facebook page and see pretty much what she's up to. It's pretty expensive though.

My father is living in Oak Cottage of Santa Barbara. We love it. His room is perfect for him, just right. We have no complaints whatsoever and he has adjusted. The staff is wonderful. They have Bingo, exercise, trips to the beach and walks. They keep them occupied which is really well and we're very happy. The people in the office and caregivers are excellent.

I enjoyed the atmosphere at Oak Cottage of Santa Barbara. It seemed like the kind of place where my husband would feel at home. They have field trips and lots of activities on-site, like games and things like that. They serve three meals a day and assigned a person to each individual. Wi-Fi is provided, and they also have public TV and go to movies and some of the local events. They have van services to take the residents places like shopping, doctors' appointments, and things of that nature. It's a relatively new community, and the rooms are really nice.

Oak Cottage of Santa Barbara was probably one of my favorites. The rooms and the bathrooms are nice. You decorate your room yourself. The community itself is new, state of the art, and exquisitely beautiful. The administrator is great. He’s very proud of his facility, and he’s very much engaged with his employees and the residents. They offer everything. They have arts and crafts, music, and trips away in their van. They do barbecues, and they have family gatherings.

Oak Cottage is dedicated primarily to memory care patients. They seem to have a very good staff and administration. The price is expensive but competitive with other places in Santa Barbara. The facility is brand new, clean, and well-staffed. The food and parking are really quite good.
