Tammy Kirby, Memory Care Director at Oakey Assisted Living, was a major disappointment. In my experience, she cannot be entrusted with the level of care and leadership families expect for their loved ones.

I found her to be lacking in compassion for both residents and their families. Communication was poor, concerns were not addressed effectively, and there appeared to be little willingness to take responsibility when problems arose.

Rather than providing support and understanding during difficult situations, interactions often felt condescending and dismissive toward family members. This only added unnecessary stress during an already challenging time.

A Memory Care Director should lead by example through compassion, accountability, professionalism, and strong communication. Based on my experience, Tammy Kirby did not demonstrate these qualities and was not a positive example of effective team leadership.

I would not recommend her to families seeking quality memory care leadership for their loved ones.

P.S.

The day of moms passing Tammy was the only person in the building that did NOT offer any condolences!

Thank you to the wonderful staff at Oakey Assisted Living. Our mom was very happy during her time there. Staff members were always attentive and friendly. Mom enjoyed the food a lot, as well as the new friends she met among residents. The facility is clean, and staff work hard to offer activities, celebrate birthdays and holidays, and respond to residents’ needs. Our mom recently passed away. We are very grateful to all the caregivers, med techs, housekeeping staff and administrators who treated mom and our family with tremendous compassion during a very difficult time. We would recommend Oakey to anyone looking for an assisted living facility for your loved one. It felt like we had the help of a large extended family all working together with us to take care of our mom.

My family recently lost my mother in law, who was the sole care giver for a dear family friend, which left my father in law in quite a predicament in how to provide the right care to Tommy as his dementia progressed. After many ups and downs we came across Oakey, and have been nothing but impressed with the dedicated staff, and how they care for Tommy and the other residents and how they go the extra mile to make the facility feel like home. Arlene was also extremely helpful to my father in law Paul, as he had to step into the role of care taker for Tommy and everything that entails. She was very patient, and kind and helped my father in law every step of the way.

This is such a wonderful place for my mother! The team is truly caring and compassionate, making her feel right at home. The rooms are beautifully remodeled, creating a warm and inviting space. My mom is thriving here, enjoying every moment with all the engaging activities. Happy hour has definitely become one of our favorite times! Thank you for taking such good care of my mom. You have lifted a lot of stress off my shoulders.

My mother was a resident of Oakey Assisted Living for 10 months until she passed from one of her many illnesses. I want to share that my impression of the facility was very positive. Management was constantly visible. I had no complaints and anything mentioned was immediately handled. Staff was caring and attentive. Though my mother did not get involved due to her health, there were plenty of opportunities to engage in a variety of activities. It is clean and the rooms are large and bright. My mother had at 505 sq foot room with a separate bedroom. Also a balcony and Strip view! I originally chose Desert View on Buffalo. My mistake. They put us on a waiting list and getting a return on the deposit was like pulling teeth. I feel lucky though because I found a superior option in Oakey. More service for the same price and a better floor plan. Both my mother and I were always treated with respect at Oakey. If I am ever in need of assisted living myself it's the first place I would go. I’d highly recommend it.
