Cherry Oak Active Senior Living Residence offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to move between levels of support without changing communities. Care teams are trained to serve individuals who wander during the day or night, remain awake overnight, live with advanced dementia, are younger than 60, or manage diabetes with oral medication. An RN or LPN is on staff to monitor conditions, coordinate with physicians, and oversee medication management, while visiting podiatry services reduce the need for off-site appointments.
Around-the-clock safety measures include background-checked staff, a dedicated awake night shift, door alarms, and in-room pull cords that connect directly to caregivers. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and transfer help ranges from standby guidance to one-person lifts for wheelchair or walker users. An activity director schedules cognitively engaging and therapeutic programs to complement each resident’s care plan.
Residences are available in several layouts, some with private bathrooms, pre-furnished setups, cable service, and the option to repaint or decorate. Because features vary by unit, families should confirm which specific amenities come with the room they select.
Meals follow a set menu prepared with input from dietitians, and the kitchen can adjust textures, portion sizes, and ingredients to meet physician-ordered diets. Snacks are stocked throughout the day so residents have access to additional nourishment between scheduled dining times.
Community conveniences include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, a movie room with internet access, and landscaped communal gardens. On-site religious services, stair glides, scheduled transportation, and proximity to public transit support both mobility and spiritual needs. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
