“We were in a crisis situation. Our sister’s dementia was progressing and she developed an infection which escalated her illness. She was in the hospital and needed to be transferred to a facility which would have a bed for her. We were in a quandry. Somehow I remembered that we were given the name of Ben Meyer from Oasis. I gave him a call and he immediately began to assist. He advised us what to do and if matters worsened, he would come to the hospital that afternoon and he did. He began a search for a suitable place for our sister. When we arrived at the facility which had a bed for our sister it was deplorable. I again called Ben and advised him that we wanted to move my sister as soon as possible. He went to work instantly. Ben found a wonderful community for our sister. She was moved in three days. Ben is caring and truly trustworthy. Words cannot express the appreciation we have for him.”

“We worked with Pat Williams here in the Columbus, Ohio area. She listened to what our needs were. She then created a list of organizations that could meet my wife’s individual needs. With Pat’s help we found the right facility and have moved my wife in. Pat was great to work with; I highly recommend her!”

“I worked with Lynn Paxson to place my 96-year-old father in an assisted living facility after it would have been difficult to get in anyone to help him (he did not want that!) Lynn was recommended by an in-home care company. I cannot really say enough of how helpful she was and truly a gift that we needed since I had to set up everything so quickly. She came to the rescue! I live out of state, but able to telework, and she made everything so easy and sane! She came to the house, I told her what we were looking for, she made recommendations, and set up the appointments and tours. I found a place in two days. She also assisted with setting up the health assessment, movers, maintenance, adjusting the closets, additions to the apartments, etc.. I am sure she has an entire list of local people to use. I love all those that I am working with-they are exactly as personable, hard-working, and above all, as dedicated as Lynn is to helping and navigating the entire process! I never would have been able to do it on my own. She really was sent to us by the universe!! A gem! I highly recommend Oasis!!”

“I’ve slacked a bit in getting this review out, but I was just recommending this service to an acquaintance and thought I should catch up on this. Last summer, my father needed to be placed in memory care. We worked with Lauren O’Desky in the Milwaukee area. She was truly helpful, going above and beyond what could have been expected. I would recommend this service to anyone who is agonizing with the daunting task of placing a loved one in a facility. We ended up finding a great spot for dad, he’s very comfortable and we know he is safe.”

“If you are think of making a move and are worried about making the right decision, well then you should ask for Robin Owen. You won’t find a more caring person to help you through this process, you got to meet her for yourself just to see how sweet she is. Robin has the knowledge it takes to get you in the right place.”

“Part concierge, part fairy godmother, Barb was a godsend when it came time to find a new living arrangement for my aging parents. She turned a sea of options into an easy transition at no cost to us! The word “blessing” sums it all up. We would not be feeling this much at peace without her help.”

“My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s about 5 years ago and she has been slowly leaving us. She and my dad live in the home they have been in for 48 years. My father is her caregiver and i live nextdoor and help out and my sister comes and stays with them many times a month. Since they are both in their late eighties the care of the home and yard has become increasingly difficult these past few years. My mother had a week where she would not eat we finally took her to the ER and found she had a UTI very common in the elderly. The visit made me realize how it was a very good possibility that she could have a hospital visit that would land her in a nursing home. This was something i did not want so i knew i needed a plan. I called a family member that works in the homecare business to see what options we had. He brought Carrie Ball with him from Oasis and she was able to help up come up with that plan. Within the next month we were able with her help to move my parents and their dog to a 2 bedroom apartment in an assisted living facility. It has been the best solution we could have picked. Carrie was able to show us how it could work so that both my parents are taken care of while still have the freedom and mobility they need. We cannot thank Carrie enough for showing us a solution we thought was so far out of our reach. She was truly a God send.”

“When it became evident my mom was not going to be able to return home after 6 months in and out of hospitals and rehab, a social worker gave me Lauren’s name from Oasis. From the first call, I realized I was not alone in helping my mom anymore. Lauren was quick, responsive, and makes you feel like you’re her only client. She helped me through some hurdles along the way and found us a nice place to fit my mom’s needs. She even found a solution when we couldn’t find anyone to move my mom’s hospital bed from home. Lauren has visited my mom several times to make sure she is adjusting well. She acknowledged that this is not “Home” but think of it as a second home. I am so grateful for Lauren and her compassion and knowledge. I truly don’t know what I would have done without her.”

“I worked with Lynn Paxson to place my 89-year-old dad in a nursing home after he was no longer eligible for admission to my mother’s assisted living facility. I can’t recommend Lynn highly enough. I couldn’t have succeeded without her.
I live several states away from my parents’ home in Delaware. In our first call, Lynn shared the bad news: that Delaware’s nursing homes are basically full and that getting a placement is hard. But then we got to work. She was always available for consultation via voice, text, or email. From home, I assembled a short list of nursing homes that I would visit and fine-tuned the pitch I would use to convince admission directors to admit my dad. During my in-person tours, I learned that the decision-makers know and respect Lynn. That personal connection made my visits much less stressful and even fun. Lynn is good at what she does because she’s personable, honest, hard-working, and a problem solver. But she also knows a lot about the business angle of nursing homes,. She once steered me away from a facility that has a high Medicare rating and an attractive Web presence but is close to bankruptcy. I was grateful for that advice.”

“My Granny was isolated in her home, and having many issues with falling and not having anybody around to help. All of her children live out of state and I am the only in state family. Jeff made it so easy for my Granny to find and decide on an assisted living home and was able to get it at an affordableprice for her. . He made it all about her. He toured with her, and when her house sold and sge had to move in under a week, he got her set up and moved withen days. I or my family could not have done it without him.”

“In the process of locating information for my father-in-law, I was fortunate to have “met” Leslie via phone and text conversations. I was going in blind, not knowing even the correct terminology or where to start when trying to find living arrangements. She was attentive, quick to respond, super knowledgeable, and very supportive. Her background added to the wealth of info she was able to provide. Through her guidance and easy going manner, she gave me the kick in the rear (figuratively speaking) to get the process moving along and locating the right place for my FIL. I would recommend her to anyone needing help with this process!”

“Many thanks to Lynn Paxson of Oasis Senior Advisors. When it became obvious that my dad could no longer safely be cared for at home, we needed to quickly find a care facility. Fortunately, I was referred to Lynn. Within two days Lynn found a facility, set up an appointment and attended the tour with my mom and I. We are so grateful for her kindness, compassion, and efficiency. Lynn was always available to answer questions and has checked in with us even after my dad was moved in and settled. It is obvious that she is truly committed to helping families find care for their aging loved ones. Thanks, Lynn and Oasis Senior Advisors for making a difficult time a little less stressful.”

“Throughout these last 11 years, my small, but close-knit family, had been taking care of my parents, one struggling with the effects of a debilitating stroke, and the other with Alzheimer’s. In a span of just a few short weeks, my mother passed away from the stroke, and we were faced with moving dad out of his home and into a care facility. Upon a recommendation from a hospital resource person, we contacted Lauren at Oasis. Within a few days, we met with Lauren who took the time to listen to us, assess our dad’s needs and develop a plan of action. Her proactive approach and personal attentiveness reflect her empathy and compassion. Lauren guided our entire family through this challenging time, and through her efforts, we were able to place our dad in a supportive and nurturing environment. To date, Lauren continues to stay in touch with us and visits our dad at his new residence. Above and beyond!”

“Lisa and Daphne helped us through a very difficult time. They are extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and have a lot of experience in the senior community. They helped us tremendously when we were faced with making quick decisions for our 98-year-old mother, driving us to various group homes to consider, followed up with us to be sure we were happy with the decisions we had to make, and even followed up with me after the passing of my mother to ask whether they could help me find resources for dealing with my grief. They didn’t miss a beat, made things a lot easier, and I would recommend them to anyone needing help during these difficult times.”

“Missy and Len were the answers to my prayers. After receiving my initial call from the hospital Missy listened to my worries, allowed my emotions to get the best of me ( yes, crying occurred) and she gently walked me through the steps I needed to take to arrange a placement for my father. Len and Missy set up tours, did walk-throughs with my sister and I and asked questions she knew we had but with so much on our minds couldn’t express. When it came time to make a decision, Missy and Len gave us time as a family to discuss our decision without pressure. Missy would continue to check on my family even after dad was placed. Words can not express what they have done for my family.”

“Beth Friesen is a wonderful person to work with! She is very understanding and knowledgeable and without her help the entire ordeal of looking for placement for my sister would have been extremely difficult. She provided us with a lot of information about different facilities including the level of care and their costs. She was like our own personal placement representative. I would highly recommend this service (Oasis Senior Advisors) to anyone looking for an assisted living home for a loved one.”

“When my mom was being released from a nursing facility but wasn’t yet ready to return home, I started to look for a place for her myself, and it was overwhelming. Michael was a great and necessary help. He was able to take our info, needs and budget and narrow down to a few viable options I could then choose from. We’re very happy with where she got placed. Without Michael’s help, it would have been a long, confusing & time-consuming process. With his help it was quick & doable. I’m so appreciative.”

“I truly appreciate your help and wish that I had known someone like you during my 14 years as a nursing home social worker. You are a comforting presence to families during a difficult time. Your knowledge of local facilities and care options is invaluable.”

“As everyone knows, selecting a facility to care for a family member is an emotional journey. Oasis Senior Advisors provided counsel, guidance, and direction, and without their assistance we would not have found this facility. Their work experience is outstanding. I commend Oasis for the outstanding work ethic and compassionate dedication to the care of elderly individuals. I would recommend using Oasis Senior Advisors for all individuals requiring long term healthcare.”

“I appreciate all of your help and guidance with our investigation. You definitely helped me with these decisions, as you had information that no one else I talked with seemed to have. We may need to revisit this decision if my mother’s situation declines, and I’m glad we will be better informed if that does happen, and I know I have a resource I can rely on. Thanks again for all of your help.”

“I had the experience of placing my Aunt in a Assisted Living facility and called Oasis…the rest is history. I met my advisors and these ladies are angels. They were, and still are, of great help to me and my aunt, even bringing her a nice gift which she cherishes. They made a hard decision bearable, love them dearly. They are more than a job they are friends who care. I would recommend Oasis to anyone.”
