Cedarhurst of Oakwood provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, enabling residents to remain on the same campus even as needs change. The team is equipped to manage complex medical profiles that include wandering behaviors during the day or night, elopement risk, combativeness, behavioral issues, and sleep reversal. Nurses and caregivers monitor oxygen therapy, wound care, special diets, and diabetic care—whether residents require oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. The community also admits adults under 60 and is prepared to support advanced dementia and other cognitive impairments.
Daily clinical oversight is delivered by an on-site RN/LPN, with an additional nurse on call around the clock. Staff remain awake overnight, and the building is secured through door alarms, a fenced rear area, pull-cord alerts, and personal emergency response systems. An activity director coordinates engagement programs, while podiatry, dentistry, and psychiatric services are available on site to reduce outside appointments. Caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer support ranges from standby help with a walker to one- or two-person mechanical transfers for wheelchair users.
Residential options include studios and one-bedroom apartments; not every unit contains every feature, but selections may offer a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable, and the ability to paint or decorate the space. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are part of the base service package, reducing the need for outside chores.
Meals are cooked in-house and served three times daily. Residents may choose from a set menu or order alternate selections, and snacks are available between meals. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings. The culinary team manages physician-ordered diets and personal preferences, including gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, puréed, and thickened-liquid options to aid safe swallowing and blood-sugar control.
Amenities include resident parking, designated outdoor smoking areas, and a pet-friendly policy. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. The property is wheelchair accessible and houses a barber/beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, library, internet access, and communal gardens. On-site religious services are offered, and scheduled transportation is available for shopping, errands, and medical appointments.
