The Villages at Oak Ridge offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care within the same campus, allowing residents to move between levels of support without relocating. Clinical oversight covers a wide range of medical needs: residents who wander during the day or night, those with elopement risk, individuals who stay up through the night, specialized wound care, oxygen management, special diets, and diabetes care that spans oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin. The Memory Care neighborhood is equipped to support advanced dementia, providing structure and redirection for behaviors that often accompany late-stage cognitive decline.
The community maintains continuous clinical coverage with a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse on site around the clock, supported by background-checked, awake overnight staff. A dedicated activity director coordinates therapeutic programs, while door alarms, wander-guard systems, pull cords, and personal emergency response devices alert staff instantly. On-site podiatry services reduce the need for outside appointments, and residents with psychiatric conditions are accepted. Assistance with activities of daily living is customized—bathing, dressing, and toileting receive hands-on help as needed, while eating support is generally standby. Transfers are accommodated for residents who use walkers or wheelchairs, require supervision, or need a one-person assist.
Residences include studios and one-bedroom layouts, some with private bathrooms and kitchenettes, basic furnishings, individual climate controls, cable service, and the option to repaint or decorate. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are provided, but not every unit includes every listed feature, so prospective residents should verify specific room details during a tour.
Meals are prepared to order, with entrée choices available at each sitting and snacks accessible throughout the day. A private dining room accommodates family visits and celebrations. Diet management covers physician-ordered modifications, including low-sodium, diabetic, and vegetarian options, ensuring that clinical nutrition plans align with each resident’s medical profile.
Independent Living residents can opt into medication management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, linen and personal laundry, and a monthly meal plan that offers flexibility while still granting access to the main dining room and its nutritional oversight.
Campus amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, a wellness center with internet access, landscaped communal gardens, a library, special-interest clubs, scheduled transportation, and proximity to public transit. On-site religious services are available for multiple faiths, and the community’s layout supports easy navigation for mobility devices.
