Oak Grove Center in Waterville, ME operates as a skilled nursing facility, providing round-the-clock clinical oversight for residents who need short-term rehabilitation or long-term custodial care. Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants are on duty 24 hours a day to handle medication administration, monitoring of vital signs, and coordination with physicians. On-site rehabilitation professionals deliver physical, occupational, and speech therapy designed to help residents regain or maintain function after illness, injury, or surgery.
The clinical program is supported by regular physician visits, laboratory and diagnostic services, wound care management, and chronic disease monitoring for conditions such as diabetes, cardiac issues, and respiratory disorders. A registered dietitian reviews individual care plans to ensure nutritional needs align with medical requirements, and pharmacy consultations help reduce medication interactions. The facility also arranges transportation for off-site medical appointments when needed.
Resident rooms are available in several layouts and may feature cable television, wireless internet access, in-room phones, and air conditioning. Select accommodations open onto landscaped gardens or courtyards, and some units are pet friendly for residents who meet the community’s pet policy. Computers with internet access are available in common areas, and outdoor seating areas give residents additional space to relax. Not every accommodation includes every listed feature, so it is best to confirm specific room details during a visit.
Meals are prepared on site with input from the dietitian to meet physician-ordered diets as well as personal preferences. A café operates with an always-available menu, allowing residents to choose lighter fare or snacks outside scheduled meal times. Staff can provide assistance with eating for residents who require help, and modified textures are available for those with swallowing issues.
Daily life is supported by an activity center that hosts exercise sessions, crafts, and group events coordinated by the life enrichment team. A library and computer lounge offers books, newspapers, and internet access, giving residents a quiet spot to read, email family, or take part in virtual programming.
