Stone Oak Retirement Community

Stone Oak Retirement Community has consistently been a win–win for my mom and our family since we moved her there in August, 2020 soon after my dad passed. She has been thriving and “blossoming” ever since! Mom has taken full advantage of and deeply enjoys participating in the large number of activities offered. Under the leadership of Liz, Activities Director, she has learned to paint and crochet and has become quite accomplished at both. She has made 29 plastic mats for the homeless (4 ft. x 7 ft.) using recycling trash bags. Mom has participated in chair dancing, learned how to play pool (billiards), but most of all, she loves the friendship, the camaradery and the competition with fellow Stone Oak residents! She plays her many different games (which include Mahjong, Bingo, Mexican Train, and Rummikub!). Having the general managers living on the premise, round-trip transportation service, beauty salon and Physical Therapy on-site are added peace of mind for her children. I feel that Stone Oak management encourages independent residents by allowing residents to create their own community through shared interests. The Stone Oak General Store is created and managed strictly by the residents (mostly in their late 80 and 90 years of age) to provide funds for their own garden community, which is an amazing concept - aside from the fact that it carries miscellaneous specific supplies to meet needs of the residents. The store also sells and recycles old, used and unused items from the residents and families to the residents. These seniors, impressively, utilize their entrepreneur leadership talents and team work to make and save money, importantly reduce waste through recycling! Mom enjoys all the benefits ranging from 3 meals per day, to various snacks available at all times (examples- soft-serve ice cream, other dairy products, fruits, etc.); her spotless, roomy, beautiful, and quiet apartment is cleaned once a week by mom‘s favorite housekeeper, Theresa; the incredible Stone Oak Restaurant staff who are always so friendly, pleasant, respectful, and consistently demonstrate a hard work ethic without equal, including but not limited to the Managers Heather and David, Chef Rodney, all Front Desk Concierges especially Melissa, and the Activities Director Liz. We would be remiss if we did not acknowledge the wonderful travel programs offered to the residents! Mom was able to travel to other “sister” RLC (Resort Lifestyle Communities) facilities in different states to visit family and friends. She was able to stay in a beautiful apartment - an almost replica of her apartment - eating 3 meals a day and participating in all activities offered without additional charge. We cannot say enough how happy we are with Stone Oak! This facility offers Quality aging for our mom!!!!

Our sister moved to Stone Oak a few months ago due to a disability. We found the managers and staff so welcoming and friendly, she knew right away that she had found her new home. They proceeded to help with all phases of her adjustment, and are there to help when the family can't. She has a group of friends now, and activities she loves, while still enjoying the privacy of her own apartment, the perfect balance between independence and assistance. Even her diet has greatly improved and transportation provided when she needs it. Our whole family is grateful she is safe and happy.

Recently having moved our mother into Stone Oat Indepepenent living we have had a sigh of relief. Everyone is pleasant and helpful. So many activities. The dining is lovely. Very happy for her.

Stone Oak is a wonderful retirement community. My mother has been here for 8 years or so and I moved in about 4 months ago. I may be the youngest member of the community, but enjoy every aspect of it. I have had the opportunity to meet and get to know some amazing people. The staff here are second to none. Everyone is so friendly and it is like being a part of a very big family. The managers, David and Heather, are always visible, helpful and kind. Whether you are 55 or 95, this is an amazing place to call home.

My 82 year old dad moved into StoneOak a few months ago after living on his own for the past 12 years since my mom passed. He loves being part of this community and is so excited to have an apartment that is just the right size for him. The staff at StoneOak is amazing and the residents are friendly and so welcoming. My dad has a whole set of friends and participates in so many of the awesome activities. The food service options are amazing and this place truly feels like a resort. Our only regret is that dad did not move in sooner!
