Testimonials For Oosterman's Rest Home 

"After my Mom had a stroke and went through rehab, she still wasn’t ready to live by herself again. My sisters and I looked at multiple places, but we loved Oosterman’s Rest Home as soon as we saw it. Kate Oosterman, and everyone else working there, are so nice and personable. You always feel like you’re among friends. The staff does a great job of letting the family know everything that’s happening with our Mom. I’d recommend Oosterman’s to anyone, 100 out of 100 times."

"I worked at Oosterman's Rest Home for 4 years and I loved it there! It has a very homey and positive atmosphere, not like one of those big institutions. And it's been run by the Oosterman family for 4 generations. They provide residents great care and attention. It feels like it's one big happy family…and there's always lots of hugging going on."

"We looked at several places for my Mom before deciding on Oosterman's. We liked the fact that Oosterman's was small, we knew Mom would get a lot more personal attention in a place like that. The staff is great, they really get to know and care about the people there. And they really communicate well with the families."

"Oosterman's Rest Home is a great alternative to a traditional nursing home. It's less expensive and the care is much better. When my mother-in-law's health worsened, we were lucky we found Oosterman's. It has a very homey atmosphere. The staff is top notch and they genuinely cared about her. My mother-in-law felt like Oosterman's was her home and we trusted them 100% with her care. I'd recommended Oosterman's to anyone in a similar situation."

"My mother was at Oosterman's for 7 years. She loved it there because it reminded her of the house she had lived in. The staff at Oosterman's is very friendly and caring—they get to know each resident personally and they treat each resident as an individual. They go out of their way to help the residents, the staff would take extra time to get my mother dressed up and ready to go out every Sunday.”

"I looked at several options for aunt’s care. I immediately liked Oosterman's Rest Home when I visited. It has a very homelike feel to it. And it's a great value compared to other places. The Activities Director makes sure everyone stays involved and the staff is great with the residents. They treat everyone like family. I also like the fact that you can talk to the staff about anything, they're very accommodating. It's a wonderful place."

The first thing you notice when you walk into Oosterman’s Rest Home is that it feels like a real home. It’s warm and cozy and it has a real charm to it. It’s got a completely different feel from those big Assisted Living places. And it’s a lot less expensive too.
