Oak Park Village Senior Living at Slidell provides two levels of licensed care—Assisted Living and Memory Care. Residents in Assisted Living receive 24-hour support from trained caregivers who handle medication administration, vital-sign checks, and coordination with outside physicians, therapists, and local hospitals. Those living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias are served in a secured Memory Care neighborhood that offers structured daily routines, behavior monitoring, and specialized programming designed to slow cognitive decline. On-site nurses oversee individualized care plans, respond to emergencies, and adjust services as medical conditions change.
Additional care features include help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and continence management, along with routine health assessments and fall-prevention protocols. The community arranges transportation to medical appointments, schedules on-site visits from podiatrists, therapists, and other allied health professionals, and maintains electronic health records to keep family and primary doctors informed. Housekeeping, laundry, and regular safety checks aim to minimize resident risk and reduce the burden of day-to-day chores, allowing staff to focus on each person’s changing clinical needs.
Residents choose from studio and one-bedroom apartments equipped with basic kitchenettes, emergency call systems, and individually controlled climate settings; some units add walk-in showers or patio access. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and utilities are included, but not all accommodations have all the features just mentioned, so prospective residents should confirm specific layouts and options during a tour.
Meals are prepared on site and served in a central dining room, with entrée selections rotating daily and accommodations made for diabetic, low-sodium, heart-healthy, or mechanically altered diets. A dietitian reviews menus, caregivers provide mealtime assistance for residents who need it, and snacks and beverages are available throughout the day to support proper nutrition and hydration.
