The Oaks at Plainfield offers Independent Living with a focus on maintaining residents’ autonomy while giving access to targeted medical support. The community can admit adults younger than 60 and provides background-checked staff, an activity director, and two emergency call systems—pull cords and personal emergency response devices—that connect directly to 911. A dedicated therapy room is on site for residents who need rehabilitation or wellness sessions. While the property does not specialize in dementia care, staff can assist Independent Living residents who need help with bathing, eating, dressing, or toileting so they can continue managing most other aspects of daily life on their own.
Additional care features include routine wellness monitoring, coordination with outside healthcare providers, and a security approach that balances freedom of movement with safety. Staff are present to arrange physician appointments, therapy visits, and hospital transfers when required. Family members are kept informed of any changes in condition, and the activity director schedules programs that support physical fitness, social connection, and cognitive engagement—all designed for residents who do not need memory care but still benefit from structured, supportive services.
Accommodations range from studio to larger layouts, some with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and in-unit laundry. Cable, scheduled housekeeping, and scheduled laundry services are available, and residents may paint or decorate their rooms to match personal preferences. Not every apartment includes every listed feature, so potential residents are encouraged to verify specific amenities during a tour. For Independent Living residents, routine housekeeping is included, allowing them to focus on leisure and wellness.
Dining is flexible, with a standard daily menu, on-order options, snacks throughout the day, and the ability to request in-room dining. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings or special occasions, and a monthly meal plan is available to Independent Living residents who want predictable budgeting and nutrition without daily cooking responsibilities. Dietary preferences and physician-ordered restrictions can be accommodated upon request, ensuring meals align with individual health plans.
Residents have access to on-site parking, outside smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, internet connectivity, communal gardens, religious services, concierge support, a library, special-interest clubs, a coffee bar, and walking paths. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Scheduled transportation assists residents with errands, medical appointments, and outings, further supporting an active, independent lifestyle.
