Oaks at Douglasville offers two levels of residential care—Assisted Living and Memory Care—with attention to everyday health needs. Residents can receive diabetes management and have access to respite or short-term stays when family caregivers need relief. A speech therapist is available to support communication and swallowing issues, and clinical oversight is built into daily routines so residents can remain as independent as possible without sacrificing safety.

Additional on-site medical resources include in-house nursing, medication management, hospice coordination, and visiting specialists such as dentists and podiatrists. The community accommodates ambulatory and incontinence care, provides occupational and physical therapy services, and is specifically designed to support people living with memory loss. As a secured community, entrances and common spaces are monitored to reduce the risk of wandering while still allowing residents freedom of movement within designated safe areas.

Apartments vary in size and layout, and not every unit includes every feature, but options can include kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, air conditioning, cable or satellite TV, and Wi-Fi. Many residences are handicap accessible, and the community is pet friendly for those who want a companion animal. Shared spaces provide a central fireplace, a piano or organ for casual music, outdoor seating areas, and on-site parking for residents or guests.

Dining is offered throughout the day so residents can eat on their own schedule. A professional chef prepares restaurant-style meals that accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low-sodium, and no-sugar preferences. International dishes rotate through the menu, and guests are welcome to join residents for meals, making it easy to socialize over food.

Residents have access to a library and computer lounge, indoor and outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds, and an activity center that hosts clubs, fitness programs, yoga, live music, karaoke, and happy hour gatherings. The calendar also features sensory-based and intergenerational programs, birthday celebrations, social outings, swimming, and a variety of other group events designed to keep individuals engaged both mentally and physically.
