We moved my mother here a month ago after a very quick downhill slide and I can not tell you the world of difference it has made for our family. They truly have an understanding of elderly care needs and are beyond compassionate to the families. They do a lot to find things that support residents and create family interactive opportunities through fun monthly and holiday events. I have been to one already and the effort that goes into it was amazing. We are very grateful as we know our mother is receiving the best care...as though she was their own family. Thank you everyone!

My mother has been at Oak Cottage of Santa Barbara for three years. I moved her from another Santa Barbara memory care facility when I realized she was being neglected by the staff at that location. I was so relieved when a space opened at Oak Cottage. One thing I learned in this process is that a facility that is dementia-only focussed is often much better than a place that offers all levels of care. Oak Cottage specializes on the care of a person with Dementia or Alzheimer''s. I am a long distance caregiver. I live in New York and heavily rely on the staff at Oak Cottage to update me on any needs my mother may have. All staff is always available for conversations about her care or just a quick check-in whenever I feel I need to talk to someone. For the past three years I have been impressed again and again with the love and care my mother gets. She is always clean, her hair is brushed and done, with a flower and is hugged and cared for as any family member would, or maybe even better! They hold her hand and hug her every day! The facility is spotless and has a very homey environment. Her Alzheimer''s makes her anxious and the caregivers know exactly how to soothe her and make her feel calm and safe, often without the use of medications. They know all her idiosyncrasies and when presented with a choice to move her to a hospice facility or keep her in place, I decided to keep her at Oak Cottage, knowing she is cared for, comfortable and in a familiar, loving and safe place. Oak Cottage has a unique and special program (Vital Life) designed for dementia patients and the coordinator is upbeat, enthusiastic and creative. My mom has flourished in this environment and has benefited from the daily music therapy and movement she has received. Another incredible feature at OC is they have an incredible events organizer, Felipe, who curates the most beautiful holiday and any-reason-to- celebrate events. The team takes pride in presentation and everything I have ever attended is well thought out and perfect for both families and residences.I wish I could attend them more often. Even the food is healthy, nutritious and delicious! I am grateful my mom is at Oak Cottage and it gives me peace of mind being so far away. I know I can even leave the country and feel secure that she''s in good hands and well cared for. Everyone at Oak Cottage goes the extra mile! I feel so lucky to be a part of this wonderful community and I know my mom is lucky too!

We are so happy our doctor recommended Oak Cottage of Santa Barbara Memory Care to us for my Mother. She has been there 2 years now and we couldn’t be happier with the care, respect, kindness and love she receives from all that work there. Their Vibrant Life program is amazing.
