Oaks at Oakland Plantation offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, giving families flexibility when needs change. Residents who choose the Memory Care program live in a secured community designed specifically to accommodate memory loss, while those in Assisted Living receive help with daily activities in a less restrictive setting. Short-term respite stays are available, which can be useful after hospitalization or when a caregiver is away. Speech therapy and diabetes management are also part of the care profile, ensuring that residents with communication challenges or glucose-control issues have consistent support.
A broad range of on-site medical and therapeutic services reduces the need for outside appointments. The community provides incontinence care, ambulatory assistance, medication management, and hospice coordination under the supervision of licensed nurses. Residents can see an optometrist, dentist, and podiatrist without leaving the property, and physical, occupational, and speech therapists work with individuals according to personalized care plans. Because the community is memory-care capable only, staffing levels and training align with dementia-specific best practices to maintain safety and dignity.
Apartment options include studios and suites, some with kitchenettes, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi. Wheelchair-accessible showers, handicap-adapted layouts, and outdoor areas are available in select units, but not every apartment contains every feature. A central fireplace, a piano or organ in communal spaces, and on-site parking add familiar comforts, and the community is pet-friendly for residents whose care plans allow it.
Meals are cooked by a professional chef and served throughout the day, allowing residents to eat on their own schedules. Standard menus can be modified for low-sodium, no-sugar, gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan preferences. Guest meals are available for visiting family members, and snacks are offered outside regular dining times to help maintain nutrition for those with smaller appetites.
Residents have access to a library and computer lounge, indoor and outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds, an activity center, and a swimming pool. Regular fitness programs, chair yoga, live music, karaoke, dances, and happy hours encourage social interaction, while sensory-based and intergenerational programs address cognitive engagement. Clubs, birthday parties, and planned social outings add structure to the week, and the staff schedules fitness and walking sessions to match each resident’s ability level.
