-
Oasis Senior Advisors
"John Becwar was amazing to work with! When I called, he set up an appointment with us the next morning, and we went to visit homes that day and the next day. He helped us identify homes that would be the best fit for Mom -- located nearest most family members, the type of care she needed, a non-profit home with a great reputation, and homes that had immediate availability. A very tall order -- and we found the perfect fit. I am so thankful for his expertise -- he knew exactly what to ask and where to go to find the right place. He had relationships with the homes that helped to smooth the transition from her independent home to a great assisted living home. Mom is really liking it there, and best of all, she is getting the care she needs. A most grateful thank you to John at Oasis!"

"After my mother in-law fell at home, the social worker at the hospital recommended we contact Oasis for some help and direction. My husband and I are forever grateful for their relentless help we received. Kaityln, first and foremost, took all of my mother in-laws health concerns and needs in mind when leading us through this difficult process of determining what was the best option for Mom's future. While at the same time, being concerned with our mindset and well-being. Kaitlyn was definitely the calm in the midst of a storm. Leading us with the utmost kindness, graciousness, guidance and understanding. I am not sure how we would have managed this transition without her and some assistance from Margaret as well. We were expecting Mom to put up a fight of a lifetime. However with Kaitlyn, Margaret and all of the other staff members at the rehab facility, her transition into assisted living went extremely smooth. Although she still wants to go home, they helped us find a place where she now calls her "home away from home". Thank you is not enough to express our deepest appreciated for your services."

"Lauren and her team are kind, knowledgeable, empathetic professionals who understand how to navigate this stressful and scary transition with grace and prudence.

"Lauren and Kaitlyn were there for us at a very difficult time. I had so many things on my mind. A bad car accident left us both with so much to cope with. I was not in rehab but still had a lot to cope with. I am grateful for Lauren and Kaitlyn for being there to help us find a place for my husbands continued recovery. Their expertise has been a G-dsend. Thank You both for being there."

"I can't imagine where we would have ended up without Kaitlyn's help. She was there for Mom and our family from the beginning and made us feel like we were her only clients. We will be forever grateful for all of her help and the kindness she showed us."

Oasis Senior Advisors
"John was so knowledgeable and helpful from the start of this very difficult process. John gathered all of the necessary information about our mom which was needed to find the best memory care facilities for our family to tour. That was so helpful since our plates were already full caring for our mom and we didn't have the capacity to research these places on our own. John participated in the tours with us but let each facility director lead the tour. It was very helpful to have him with us on the tours since he was able to comment on the spot with any of our questions and/or concerns. John followed up with our family multiple times after the tours even though we weren't quite ready to transition our mom to the memory care facility. John basically did most of the legwork to get our mom where she is at now which is in a safe and caring memory care facility."

"Lauren was an answer to prayer. In a blink of an eye my mom needed full time care. I was so lost in the process of how and where to find a place for my mom. It's a very emotional and stressful time for everyone involved. Lauren basically took my hand and led me through the entire journey. She listened through my fears, concerns, and lots of tears and ultimately found the perfect place. I can't thank you enough Lauren. I would highly recommend Lauren and her team to everyone. God bless you!"

Oasis Senior Advisors
"Lauren was extremely helpful to us when planning assisted living arrangements for my in-laws. It was a very stressful time, but Lauren came to our home to get to know our circumstances and also met with us and my in-laws to tour the facility. She was very accessible when we had questions and checked in with us during the entire process. Lauren definitely helped make the process run smoothly and provided us with very good resources. I would definitely recommend Oasis Senior Advisors."

"Lauren came highly recommended by a family member and we could see why. Lauren is always available to talk or help you through the situation on your schedule. Early mornings, evenings and weekends - she's here to help you! Lauren and her staff are very knowledgeable on the facilities available and works with you to figure out a good fit. I would recommend Lauren and OASIS to anyone going through the difficult time of having to place a family member who shouldn't be at home."

Oasis Senior Advisors
"Both John and Lauren are absolutely wonderful to work with. My Dad, 93 years young, had a fall. After hospitalization and rehab, we needed assisted Living for him and I didn't know where to start. John helped me navigate Assisted living locations in my area and I am very happy with the spot we selected. John and Lauren are both very knowledgeable, patient and have great communication skills. They offered great information on things that I could never have even considered and that information helped me a great deal in my decision making for a final spot for my Dad. I could not have navigated this whole world of Assisted Living without them. Thank you so much - John and Lauren..........!!!"

"Things happened quickly with our elderly mom. Formerly independent, she suddenly needed to be in assisted living. In the midst of all of the worry and confusion someone handed us a card from Oasis and said "Call Lauren - she'll help you." We followed that advice and are SO glad we did! Lauren patiently questioned us about Mom, getting a good sense of what she needed and wanted. Giving us advice about handling the bureaucratic maze, guiding us through our options and putting herself out aggressively to advocate for Mom, Lauren worked magic to find the perfect situation. We heard today that Mom will be accepted at the community of her choice. Thanks Lauren - we couldn't have done it without you!"
-
Oasis Senior Advisors
"Wow! It's amazing to know that there are people out there that are willing to put that extra foot forward to help in times like these. It was nice to know that if mom or I had questions about dad and his cares that they took care of it. I didn't have to worry at all. To anyone reading this please reach out to these individuals. They really know what they are doing and they go above and beyond to help your family out in times like these. Thanks again to Kaitlyn. It truly was an easy transition for all involved."

Oasis Senior Advisors
"Lauren and her staff provided indispensable guidance during an extremely stressful time/move for our loved one. They obviously have strong knowledge of high quality senior facilities as well as resources needed to make a move go as smoothly as possible. Their professionalism, timely support and empathy helped reduce the heavy burden we felt as a family. I do not hesitate in recommending Lauren and Oasis. My only regret is that I did not contact them sooner!"

Oasis Senior Advisors
"I found out about Lauren from one of my family members. She was a god send! When I had no idea where to place my mother-in-law after she was unable to return home ,Lauren gave me several suggestions for places that would be appropriate for my mother-in-laws care."
-
Oasis Senior Advisors
"We are so very grateful for all that OASIS has done. It was a stressful and trying time as we had to hurry to find a place for our uncle as it was no longer safe for him to be alone at home. OASIS walked us through each step of the way and found a good place for our uncle. They gave us good advice and recommendations for different things that were needed. The knowledge they had in this area was great. We really appreciate ALL that they have done !! Thank you so very much !"

Oasis Senior Advisors
"Margaret was proactive and got the information I needed quickly and efficiently, and we wrapped things up with a new home for my father within a week. I was totally comfortable with her and we both trusted her as an ally. I've recommended her services to two others in similar situations already."
-
Oasis Senior Advisors
"The team at Oasis was wonderful from start to finish. They knew what questions to ask and what answers they were looking for to help place my mother in a new facility for memory care. This is a difficult time for a children of aging parents to go through and they were able to help make this transition seamless and easy. They were quick with responses and bent over backwards to help in any way. The follow-up care was fantastic as well after we completed the move. I cannot say enough good things about the help we received."

Oasis Senior Advisors
"As a social worker at a rehabilitation center, discharges to another care facility was difficult and time consuming. I did not have the time that the resident and families deserve to discuss the different facilities and the amenities. Lauren from Oasis was a lifesaver for me. She took the time to sit down with the resident and families to get to know them and explained the transition process. She kept me informed every step of the way. Oasis took the stress of finding placement away from me and made the transition for the resident and family easier. I’m thankful to have found a great company like Oasis and the caring staff."

Oasis Senior Advisors
"Oasis was a positive experience and resolved all of my concerns and needs. Lauren was extremely personable and professional. She was there for me from start to finish."
-
Oasis Senior Advisors
"Lauren was knowledgeable and really eased all my concerns when finding a new home for my mother. She was patient and understood what I was going through in making a decision to find the best care for her. I appreciate her being so honest about her experience with each place we visited and I felt like I had a friend to help me instead of someone just trying to sell me on any one residence for mom. I am so grateful for Lauren would recommend her without hesitation to my friends and family."

Oasis Senior Advisors
"I just want to let you know how pleased we are with Vista Pointe. The care is great, the staff is friendly and gentle, the facility is super clean and it is located in our neighborhood. Thanks to you, we didn’t have to drive all over touring every facility in town. We told you what our wishes were and with your extensive knowledge, you delivered on the second place we toured! I feel that our family would still be out there hunting for a place for our Mom if we hadn’t contacted Oasis. Thanks for eliminating all that chasing."

Oasis Senior Advisors
"Lauren is very knowledgeable and helped us find the right place during that difficult transition."

Oasis Senior Advisors
"I don't know what we would have done without Lauren's help when we were told my father-in-law was not able to go back to his apartment because he needed more assistance. I spoke with Lauren late Friday afternoon and by Monday morning she had 2 morning appointments for us to look at new places. Her help had taken a huge stress off of our shoulders and everything fell into place just like she said it would. By Friday he was in his new home. I would highly recommend Oasis Senior Advisors to anyone who is looking for help placing a loved one in an assisted living facility."

Oasis Senior Advisors
"Lauren was introduced to our family by Columbia St. Mary's Ozaukee at a time when, we as a family needed the most help. We found Lauren to be the most knowledgeable, outgoing, empathetic and caring person we had ever come in contact with. Lauren met with us and had so much information to share with us regarding our current situation that we felt as if an angel was among us. She not only provided us with accurate information, her follow up was indispensable. She was there every step of the way. To this day, the guidance she provided was invaluable. and she has continued to reach out to our family to make certain that we were satisfied with all of our decisions. She has also kept in touch to see how our family is doing after the loss of our mom and placement of our dad in a exceptional facility. We would recommend Lauren and Oasis Senior Advisors highly to anyone who is in need of her services."

"Laura was wonderful to work with. I live in Georgia, my folks in Milwaukee with no family in the area. My Mother had suffered from a stroke and was in rehab, my Father home alone with numerous health issues and not really able to take care of himself. I was trying to find an Assisted Living Facility on my own wile in town visiting. I was completely overwhelmed with the whole situation. Mother in rehab, Dad now in the hospital. Laura was recommended by one of the Facilities I had visited. I reached out to Laura and it was the best call I ever made. She took the time to meet with my Mother and Father, spent lots of time with me, educating me on the whole process, which is so overwhelming. Laura took the time to find the best match for my Mother and now my Dad is in rehab. Again Laura was there to visit with my Dad and now find the best match for both my Mom and Dad. Here it is, four months later. Laura is still following up with myself and parents, I am back in Georgia focusing on my work, and my Mother and Father are in a great place and are doing well. Without Laura's help and take charge character, things would be a mess. Laura's knowledge of facilities in the area, her knowledge of how the finances work, and her go get it style of work was fantastic."

Oasis Senior Advisors
"For the past number of decades, my life has been one of extraordinary independence and extensive travel, spanning months at a time. Inevitably, when father time dictated a necessary change in lifestyle, I began to seek permanent roots in Milwaukee, my home town. A dear friend informed me of Oasis's services, specifically, Lauren O'Desky's talents. From the first meeting, we were impressed with Lauren's knowledge of senior living. She approaches her profession with enthusiasm and energy and abiding respect for her clients. She understood perfectly my needs and interests. Within forty-eight hours she identified a number of locations for me to explore. Lauren's perceptions and instincts of one's unique needs are outstanding. Within a matter of weeks I was happily settled into my new home. I could not have accomplished this without her. I am most grateful to Lauren for guiding me through this life transition."

"I was floundering around, trying to make a care arrangement for a loved one whom the hospital was anxious to discharge but who needed ongoing care. I wasn't crazy about the places I visited on my own from a list the hospital provided. I had no idea what questions I ought to be asking. All that changed when the Case Manager at the Hospital gave me Lauren's name. First, Lauren just sounds so concerned and confident that I felt maybe things can get better. Then she picked out a couple of places that would be a good fit. Next, she visited the places with me and asked the questions I should have asked but forgot. She wrote down a brief summary of the financial details and gives it to you for reference I will always be grateful that with Lauren's help, I found a truly nice place for my relative."

Oasis Senior Advisors
"Lauren was a true pleasure to work with. She took time to get to know us as a family and helped identify our parents’ needs. Lauren's biggest strength was helping our family navigate the difficult conversations needed to help move our parents into a safer environment. Lauren is also connected to other senior resources which we utilized for helping with the move to an assisted living facility. Lauren truly has the best interest of her client and clients family in mind. We couldn't have done this without her!"

Oasis Senior Advisors
"Lauren is a very hard working dedicated advocate for Seniors and their families. She took control of a very large project for my parents and family. ( at least I thought it was large. She made it simple).Lauren has, it seems, unending knowledge of how to choose the right place for Seniors to live safely, comfortably, and happy. She works closely with facilities and the family’s needs. Lauren gains knowledge on a personal level about her clients and family. Discovers what the clients and family would prefer as a distance, the atmosphere of care, the "feeling" of a place and the financial costs. Understands how difficult life becomes for the care-takers of aging parents. She gives comfort to all, and expresses genuine interest in how we are all feeling and how we are doing, and gives good counsel, and suggestions on how to take care of ourselves! Lauren makes herself available at all times, with immediate responses! It’s been wonderful having her on board our ship, grabbing an oar, and rowing with us all. Thank you Lauren!! ..can’t say enough! ...and YES, will remain in touch."

"Lauren O'Desky was a great help for us in finding the best care for our mother. Within two days of our first conversation, she provided a number of health care options and actively participated in our search for the best medical care. Once we settled on a facility, she continued to work on our behalf, handling the extensive paperwork and doctor approval required to finalize the transfer. She didn't need to do this. She volunteered. We admire Lauren's professionalism, knowledge and concern. Our family would recommend her to anyone seeking the best care for a loved one. "

"Finding an appropriate senior living place for an aging parent can be a daunting and time consuming task. Lauren, however, made it easy, fast, and even a very pleasant one. She has the knowledge, enthusiasm, and experience to direct families to the most suitable places for their loved one. Using her services saved us so much time and helped us immensely. I highly recommend using the services of Oasis. Lauren was wonderful to work with and has followed up with my mother several times even after placement in her new living situation. In addition to the skills that her services bring, Lauren is a caring and compassionate person that makes the family feel very comfortable. Without hesitation I feel that anyone would be happy that they contacted Lauren at Oasis."

"I was lucky to have been introduced to Lauren. Time was of the essence. She was prompt, caring, and insightful. Her knowledge was irreplaceable, her advice was indispensable, and her service was invaluable. I highly recommend her."

"My father was found wandering the streets in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in early December 2017. He was taken to the hospital where he remained for two months. It was during one of my visits from Florida that I was introduced to Lauren. Lauren was very empathetic toward what my family and I were going through. My father could not return home and Lauren was helping us find a assisted living facility for placement. Lauren was available by phone and email because I had to return home. My family and I visited a few assisted living places but did not find the one that we felt comfortable with at first. Lauren listened to our concerns and continued to find other places that would except my father. We finally chose a placement and have been very satisfied at this point. Lauren was very helpful in helping my family get through this process which was new to all of us. Lauren is very professional yet compassionate about her work which helped us relax as we moved forward."

Oasis Senior Advisors
"It was wonderful working with Lauren. She guided me to a solution fairly quickly. If she hadn't been there to help, I am not sure how long the process of finding a place for my loved one would have taken....or even if I could have done it myself. I was in a difficult situation looking for a fit as my loved was in the hospital for a short time. I was blessed she came along when she did. She knows this market ...knows how to find a good match/fit. We were able to place my loved one in the most compassionate place for him. I am forever grateful. Donna"

Oasis Senior Advisors
"We’re SO thankful to Lauren for helping my family and our Mother through a difficult time. We were shown the Oasis Senior Advisors brochure and made the call to Lauren when we didn’t know what to do to determine the next step in her care. We all met with her the next day at 11 a.m. and she quickly arranged tours to two facilities that same day, guiding us through the tough decision-making process. She focused on the needs of our Mother and the best assisted living home for her. This is such a wonderful service that was unknown to us——such a relief to have someone help us! Lauren was great!! Thanks so much!!"

Oasis Senior Advisors
"Lauren was a godsend to our family. We had agonized over how to find placement for our elderly mother and a friend gave us her name. Within the first few minutes of meeting her , we knew we were in good hands. She is friendly , warm, compassionate and an expert in all areas required to find solutions for elderly care .She spent time getting to understand what our mother needed and then thought very carefully of what places would best meet her needs. She came with us to tour and ask questions. She truly cares about her clients and finding the best possible fit for them. She is available at any time for questions or support . I have happily referred her to other people needing the same help. She will be a godsend to your family as well."

Oasis Senior Advisors
"Lauren helped our family through a difficult time and I will be forever grateful. My dad is in a beautiful place with kind hearted caregivers and Lauren made sure my sister had a wonderful assistant living placement (it was not just about my dad). She saw the need and went straight to work to make sure we had whatever we needed. I mean everything! Without her help we never would have known of any of these wonderful places. Lauren is a treasure! I recommend her highly to any family who has to make a difficult decision to place a love one in memory care and assistant living. She cares!"
-
Oasis Senior Advisors
"I was introduced to Lauren by by my children. At the time I was very skeptical when we first met but Lauren put me at ease primarily because of her knowledge and personality. I found her to be a person that I could rely on should my wife and I need her services, We ended up making the decision not to move and so stayed in place, HOWEVER should the time come that we would need the services that she provides I will not be looking elsewhere. I will not hesitate when the time comes to call Lauren."

Oasis Senior Advisors
"Have you ever met someone that within minutes, you feel as if you’ve known them all your life? This is Lauren’s gift. When decisions had to be made quickly, like they were for my mother’s situation, walking through this confusing scary process with someone I genuinely liked, took away all the stress. The load of dealing with finances, paperwork, moving, in a short amount of time, was lightened with Lauren’s ability to search, plan, negotiate, and cut through to a living solution that was so right for my mother. To just recommend her as a senior living resource would be inadequate. This is someone you want as your ally and friend. This is not just my opinion, it is my mother’s too!"
-
Oasis Senior Advisors
"Lauren is just wonderful. We had a very difficult situation to deal with. Without Lauren's help we would never ever have found a solution. I can recommend Lauren without reservation. She is the best."

Oasis Senior Advisors
"Lauren came on board and immediately assessed the situation and found affordable positive alternatives for elderly family members in need of immediate twenty four hour care"

Oasis Senior Advisors
"If you need assistance in navigating through the complicated maze of senior resources, then Lauren O'Desky is a great choice! Lauren demonstrated a sophisticated knowledge of community resources, and used that knowledge to assist my elderly parents to relocate from one assisted facility to another that better fit their financial needs. Her contacts in the north shore communities was invaluable in the placement process. Lauren enabled us to compare several facilities, which gave us a better perspective of what was available, and at what cost. That contributed to our comfort level before making our final choice. She worked tirelessly and remained on task throughout the placement process. She allowed no obstacles to stand in her way. Without Lauren's help, it would have been much harder, and taken much longer, to place my parents at an assisted living facility suitable to their needs. I am most grateful to her."

"I can't say enough good things about Lauren. I came across her name and called her, expecting nothing but some standard senior living advice. We planned to meet a couple days later when I was going to be in town for my dad's medical appointment. The appointment had some hiccups and kept getting longer and longer, Lauren adjusted her schedule to make sure we could still meet and I learned more in that 30 minute meeting than I had in the year prior about senior living in the Milwaukee area. I was immediately treated like family, her caring about not just my father but the entire family was great. Lauren has an incredible knowledge of programs, facilities, services and she knows the people to contact for each of them. She was able to immediately get through to the right people and we got answers incredibly quickly. One of the agencies I worked with told me they have never seen an approval go so quickly, that was because Lauren told me exactly what to do and who to contact!Lauren is amazing, I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone with senior living questions!"

Oasis Senior Advisors
"Oasis is fantastic. I had a customer I desperately needed to place. Lauren was able to the job done in less than a week. If you're looking for somebody professional with a sense of urgency, Lauren should be your first call."

"My mom was at a memory care facility that I did not feel was a good fit for her but I did not know how I would find time to move her with the confidence that the next facility would be better. Someone had told me about Oasis. I connected with a young lady named Carli who was wonderful. Instead of providing the expected--which is the bare minimum, she immediately offered to set up several virtual tours since I could not enter any of the facilities due to COVID. When I told her that my time off work was limited, she worked hard at setting up two, back to back tours. They were three-way calls with live tours. During that tour, Carli assisted with asking questions that I needed answered but did not think to ask at the time. When they were complete, she offered to set up as many more as I felt needed; however, I decided on one of the first two. I should mention that she assisted in picking the top two that she thought were the best fit for my mom. I thought that would be her exit point. Instead, she kept checking back with me to see how things were going. When there was confusion about which home would take care of the transit set-up for the move, Carli jumped in and took care of it. All seemed to go well with the exception that all my mom's clothes seemed to be lost in transit. Carli, again, jumped in, and from my experience, must have spent a considerable amount of time tracking down her clothes. It turned out to be a miscommunication but she resolved the issue. Between hospitals, rehabs and memory care facilities, my patience was spread extremely thin, so if this sounds like an advertisement for Oasis and Carli, I guess you could say that it is an unpaid one. If everyone at Oasis is as caring and hard working as Carli, then I highly recommend this company. It should be noted that they are paid by whichever facility gets your business. However, they have many facilities to choose from and also factor in all the variables for the best fit. For me, both the place she found, and her assistance, was a Godsend. Thank you, Carli!"

"I whole-heartedly recommend the services of Lauren O’Desky, my Oasis Senior Advisor. Finding the right place for my loved one meant everything – both to my loved one and to me! Her quality of life was of the utmost importance to me as my loved one’s disease progressed. I wanted to honor her personality and spirit by finding the best living arrangement for this chapter of her life. Lauren’s knowledge, combined with her compassion, helped guide my decision. Lauren evaluated our situation, made her recommendations, and then patiently waited for us to be ready. She facilitated our introduction to the new dementia-care community, and made herself available to answer any questions that arose. I found that making this type of life-changing decision was very stressful and depressing. Lauren stayed with me through the entire process and gave me peace of mind. For that, I will be forever grateful."
