At The Oars Senior Living in Citrus Heights, residents receive dedicated Memory Care that extends to advanced dementia conditions. The clinical team can respond to wandering at any hour, elopement risk, combative or other behavioral issues, and residents who stay up all night. Dietary management covers special diets and all levels of diabetic care, including oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale dosing.
Care is reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call 24 hours a day. Night shifts are fully awake, staff background checks are standard, and the grounds are secured by door alarms, fenced perimeters, wander-guard technology, and round-the-clock personnel. On-site podiatry and a therapy room support ongoing medical needs. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and transfer help ranges from standby with a walker to two-person or Hoyer lift support for bed-bound residents.
Residential options include suites that may feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnished layouts, individual climate controls, zero-threshold shower entries, motion-activated lighting, oversized windows, housekeeping, and scheduled laundry service. Not every apartment includes every listed feature, so it is best to confirm availability when touring.
Meals are served from a set menu prepared with scratch cooking, and the kitchen routinely modifies textures or ingredients to meet physician-ordered diets, including puréed meals, thickened liquids, and vegetarian selections. Snacks are on hand throughout the day, and a private dining room can be reserved for family visits.
Amenities on campus include wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, movie room, wellness center, concierge desk, spa pedicures, raised garden beds, and walking paths. Pet care is available and residents may bring their own animals; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Transportation is offered through a Townecar service and other scheduled rides for medical appointments and outings.
