My brother in law by marriage has been at D Oaks for over a year now. There are two dining rooms, a small one for assisted living folks and a larger one upstairs for more independent residents.

I visited this facility

We went to Dominican Oaks in Santa Cruz. It's a beautiful, big community. I would highly rate them. They have a waiting list and were significantly more expensive. Their staff was great. The people that we met along during the tour were great. Their dining room was big. They have lots of outdoor dining that's beautiful. It's in a wooded setting, so it's very pretty. The building itself looks to be well maintained and well- appointed.

I moved to Dominican Oaks six years ago, and I can say with all honesty that it was a great decision. The staff are incredibly caring and welcoming, the other residents are friendly and compasionate, the food is really good and there's always something fun going on. It's got some lovely outdoor areas and I am actually finding it much more social than I originally thought it would be.

My father is in Dominican Oaks. The people are really friendly. It's a nice place physically. The food is really great. So far, he's happy. He has a nice one-bedroom with a balcony and a kitchen. It's very light, clean, and spacious.
