The Oaks at Nipomo offers three levels of care—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—so residents can transition between services without leaving the community. Short-term respite stays are available for recovery or caregiver relief, and the staff is trained in diabetes monitoring and management. Regular on-site physician visits help residents maintain continuity of care, while speech therapy supports communication and swallowing challenges common to aging adults. The entire property is secured, giving families confidence that residents, especially those in the Memory Care program, are safe at all hours.
Medical coverage extends beyond routine oversight. Licensed nurses handle medication management, incontinence care, and wound supervision. Occupational, physical, and speech therapists work with residents on mobility and daily-living skills, and podiatry and optometry services reduce the need for outside appointments. A dentist visits the campus for preventive and restorative care, and hospice support is available when needed. The Memory Care neighborhood is purpose-built to accommodate cognitive change, featuring layouts and cueing systems designed to minimize confusion. Altogether, the on-site clinical team provides coordinated support aimed at reducing hospital trips and keeping residents in familiar surroundings.
Apartment options range from studio to larger one-bedroom layouts. Many residences feature wheelchair-accessible showers, individual climate control, basic cable, Wi-Fi, and kitchenettes, though specific features vary by unit. Common areas include a central fireplace, outdoor patios, and dedicated parking, giving residents several settings for relaxation and socializing.
Dining is restaurant-style, allowing residents to order at the table and choose from daily specials or an always-available menu. A professional chef and dietitian create meals that accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low-sodium, and no-sugar preferences. International cuisine days add variety, and families can join loved ones by purchasing guest meals. With all-day dining, residents don’t have to plan their schedules around fixed meal times.
Recreation and wellness activities are held in multiple venues, including an activity center, library and computer lounge, and indoor and outdoor walking paths. The calendar features live music, happy hours, social clubs, yoga and chair-yoga classes, fitness programs, swimming, karaoke nights, birthday celebrations, and community dances. Raised garden beds support hands-on horticultural therapy, and intergenerational programs connect residents with local youth groups. Regular social outings keep residents engaged with the wider Nipomo area.
