I would highly rate Oakleaf Village of Lexington because the people are very nice. The staff is very caring. I also like that they provide a lot of activities for the residents. They have bingo, singing groups that come in, and some crafts that we can do. They serve three meals a day and more or less the food is good. The facility is very conveniently located to drug stores and they do take the residents out once a week to go to wherever they need to go.

Oakhaven is the Alzheimer unit at Oakleaf Village. My sister and I began visiting there when our other 55 year old sister was diagnosed with Alzheimer Disease. We continued to visit for reassurance that when we needed space that it would be available. A trip to the hospital and directive from the doctor that it was time, and they made ready for her. She began in the Assisted living area and was there almost 2 years before she could no longer remain there even with the highest level of assistance. The move to Oakhaven was done quite smoothly about 8 months ago. Her decline is coming more and more rapidly. Though she is quite physically able to walk, run, etc. her mind is shutting down more each day. The staff at this facility is unbelievable. They are knowledgeable, willing and most importantly, caring. Never have we seen a better staff. Never a raised voice; never an attitude of exasperation; always a joy at bringing care to those who so desperately need it. Of the 27 residents in Oakhaven, no two are alike. Our sister has been a true challenge to them due to her mobility and cognitive level. This is not a performance that they put on just when we are there. I live only 3 blocks from the facility and drop in at weird times. The facility is beautiful, someone from the administrative staff is always available, the care staff is well trained and pleasant. We are most happy that we found Oakleaf Village and Oakhaven Alzheimer's Unit to care for our "little sister."

Oakleaf Village is a wonderful facility. I have a family member in the Alzheimer's wing and the staff is absolutely amazing. Alzheimer's patients are not the easiest to work with but every member of the staff treats them with love, care and respect. There are lots of safety features to keep the residents content and prevent them from getting lost or wandering into dangerous areas. My family member has shown noticeable improvement in her demeanor and physical fitness since she moved to Oakleaf. She eats well and the meals are balanced, healthy, and enjoyable. Oakleaf staff always handles crisis calmly and brilliantly. They contact the family promptly to make decisions when it is not an emergency and they know how to keep her calm in spite of her not always understanding what is going on. The facility is really beautiful. Her room is pleasant and personal, really quite enjoyable to be in. The common room is well kept and clean with comfortable chairs and lots of options for visiting your family member. I highly recommend Oakleaf for family members with Alzheimer's. They take better care of her than we could hope to at home.

I visited Oakleaf village of Lexington about two months ago. It is the most welcoming assisted living facility I have ever been to, the staff was very helpful in telling me where everything is located and they generally seemed pleased to be working there. I sat down with a few residents of the facility and they told me about themselves and I asked them how they liked living there, and they only had positive things to say about the place. There are plenty of activities for the residents to participate in like bingo, shuffleboard, movie time, and an indoor swimming pool that was built recently. Oakleaf Village is a very nice place for the elderly and I would recommended any senior in the Lexington-Columbia area to go there.
