Astoria at Oakdale in Oakdale, CA provides two primary levels of care—Assisted Living and Memory Care. Residents who need regular help with daily tasks or those living with cognitive impairment can receive individualized support within the same campus, allowing for seamless transitions if needs change. The community also keeps short-term or respite stays open for families who require a temporary solution. Diabetes oversight is available, and residents who benefit from speech therapy can receive that service without leaving the building.
Care delivery is reinforced by a secured environment and medical staff on site. A licensed nurse oversees daily health concerns, and each wing is laid out to accommodate memory loss. Incontinence and ambulatory care are part of routine assistance, and medication management is handled by trained personnel. Hospice care is accepted, allowing residents to remain on campus even when needs become more complex. Occupational and physical therapists, as well as a visiting podiatrist, round out a clinical program that aims to reduce outside appointments.
Private and companion suites can include wheelchair-accessible showers, air conditioning, cable or satellite TV, and Wi-Fi, and most floor plans are handicap accessible. Some units open directly to outdoor areas, and parking is available for residents who still drive. Pet-friendly options exist for those who want to bring an animal companion, but not every accommodation has every listed feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific details during a tour.
Dining operates on an all-day model, meaning residents are not locked into set meal times. Standard menus are supplemented with vegetarian choices, and guest meals can be arranged for visiting family or friends. The culinary team monitors dietary requirements, including carbohydrate-controlled meals for residents managing diabetes, ensuring nutrition aligns with individual care plans.
Residents can spend downtime in the library and computer lounge, take a swim in the pool, or walk the outdoor paths that lead to raised garden beds. Regular programming includes karaoke, happy hour, yoga and chair yoga, reminiscence groups, intergenerational visits, birthday parties, dances, and live music. An activity center hosts clubs, community meetings, fitness classes, and social outings, supporting a schedule that balances physical exercise with social engagement.
