Arlington Place at Red Oak is an assisted-living community that centers its care around individualized medical and daily-living support. Residents who need help managing diabetes receive regular monitoring and medication oversight, and on-site speech therapy services are available for those working to maintain or improve communication and swallowing abilities. The community also accepts respite or short-term stays, giving family caregivers a break or providing a safe bridge after hospitalization. Care plans are reviewed regularly to adapt to changing health conditions, and licensed nurses coordinate with outside physicians to keep treatment current.
In addition to its clinical offerings, the community operates as a secured setting with controlled entry points, providing an extra layer of safety for residents who may be at risk of wandering. Trained staff are on duty around the clock to assist with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and medication reminders. Emergency call systems help ensure timely response, and routine wellness checks help identify concerns before they become problems.
Apartments and common areas are designed for both comfort and accessibility. Depending on the specific unit, features can include kitchenettes, ground-floor layouts, wheelchair-accessible showers, air conditioning, and garden or courtyard views. Internet access, Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV, and a TV lounge support daily connection and entertainment, while indoor and outdoor common areas, a library, meeting rooms, and uncovered resident parking expand living space. Pets are welcome, and cats are specifically allowed; however, not all accommodations include every feature listed, so it is best to confirm availability in advance. It's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
Dining follows a restaurant-style approach with a professional chef preparing meals that cover standard, vegan, vegetarian, kosher-style, low-sodium, gluten-free, and no-sugar options. Residents can choose all-day or anytime dining and may request room service when preferred. Special dining programs address nutritional goals, while guest meals, barbecues, and picnics offer opportunities to share food with family and friends.
Residents have access to a full calendar of programs that include on-site fitness classes such as Forever Fit, yoga, chair yoga, and stretching. Social options range from happy hours, birthday and holiday parties, and live music to Wii bowling, karaoke, dances, and wine tastings. Clubs and groups—book club, bridge, men’s club, gardening club, cards and pinochle, current events, and community service organizations—encourage ongoing engagement. Indoor walking paths, raised garden beds, live theater performances, educational speakers, reminiscence and sensory-based sessions, and off-site day trips round out the schedule, while the activity center and game room give residents space to gather informally.
