Marley Oaks Assisted Living Residence

used to go there on Halloween pretty nice

We searched and looked at 13 Assisted Living facilities until someone suggested Marley Oaks to us. We knew what we wanted for my then 97 year old Father in law, a warm and homelike environment. Not to big, with little 'bling' to sway the family into thinking it was 'better'. Marley Oaks was perfect. Very home like, Church sponsored, with only about 10 residents, we felt he would get the attention he needed there and not be lost in the shuffle. The girls who cared for him, and the then administrator, Dawn, were absolutely wonderful to him and us. They became our second family over the years. Dad lived there until in he was 101, having celebrated his 100th birthday there with a large party and the Mayor of Mokena giving him a proclamation to his milestone event. He also had 5 Presidential Birthday greetings as well as two State Senators and a write up in the local Patriot Newspaper. We have many, many fond memories of all the friends he made there with all the residents. I just wish it could have gone on longer.... I would, without a doubt, have a family member placed there again. The cost is reasonable compared to other facilities. They won't nickel and dime you to death. Good people, who I believe can be trusted to care for your loved one.
