Oak Park Village At Hammond delivers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to receive the level of daily support that matches their cognitive and physical needs. Care plans can be adjusted as conditions change, so residents who enter under Assisted Living can transition smoothly into Memory Care if required, without leaving the community.
Clinical resources extend beyond routine supervision. A secured environment helps protect residents who may wander, and medical oversight addresses specific health concerns such as diabetes management and speech therapy. On-site professionals provide incontinence care, ambulatory assistance, hospice coordination, and rehabilitative services from occupational and physical therapists, while a visiting podiatrist helps manage foot health.
Apartments differ in layout and features, but many are pet friendly, offer access to outdoor areas, and include wheelchair-accessible showers; parking is available for residents who still drive. Because floor plans vary, prospective residents should confirm which features are in the specific unit they choose.
Three daily meals are prepared and served in a communal dining room, with staff handling portion control and any physician-ordered modifications. Vegetarian selections are available, and caregivers monitor intake to help ensure residents maintain appropriate nutrition and hydration.
Daily life is supported by an activity center that hosts scheduled programs, games, and exercise classes. Residents are encouraged to spend time outdoors when weather permits, and organized social outings provide chances to visit local shops, cultural events, or restaurants, fostering community engagement beyond the campus.
