  • Oakton Arms is great-not so impressed with Oakton Pavilion

    My mom has lived at Generations for a few years so please understand that there are two buildings...one is fantastic, Oakton Arms which is independent and assisted living. The other, Oakton Pavilion is a nursing home and is not as great. My mom started in independent living until it became clear that she couldn't do things as independently as we had thought so she moved to the assisted living floor. The staff is wonderful! The nurses and caregivers are so attentive and caring as are all the other staff in the building. They were very careful during covid and had minimal cases. They are getting back to "normal" now and my mom is so happy to be eating in the dining room and enjoying activities with her friends. She had a short stay at Pavilion and we were very unimpressed with the lack of communication from staff but maybe we were just expecting too much. Oakton Arms is very reasonably priced for an assisted living in this area and still has everything you want/need. Very happy here.

  • Review of Oakton Arms assisted living

    My husband was moved into their assisted living this past January. I also live in their independent living facility. The senior living community had great service and caring staff until this past few months. Food was great and everything was well run until this point. After the assisted living was opened on their 4th floor and they hired a bunch of unprofessional nursing staff, things are going down the drain here. My husband has early stages of dementia and the staff on his floor do not care for him at all. Last week, I saw a caregiver in the morning being rough with him while dressing him up before breakfast. He told her to stop and to be slow, but she didn't bother. I also had a question for their nurse that morning about his medications and she did not seem to know what was going on with health. The nurse just comes and hands him the medication, but when we ask what medication are you giving him, she has does not know. This place has become awfully bad and they need to hire some professional staff.
