Oak Crest Village in Parkville, MD, offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care, allowing residents to transition between levels of support without leaving the community. The medical program accommodates oxygen therapy and supports diabetics who manage their condition with oral medications, insulin injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. Residents living with moderate dementia can remain on campus thanks to a Memory Care staff trained to address cognitive decline while preserving daily routines. On-site podiatry rounds out the regular medical services, providing routine foot care without the need for outside appointments.
Clinical oversight is maintained by an RN or LPN on staff, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day. Background-checked team members remain awake overnight, and a pull-cord alert system connects every apartment to staff who are on site around the clock. Assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting when a resident needs some physical help. Mobility support ranges from stand-by supervision for walker users to one- or two-person transfers for residents who rely on a wheelchair. An Activity Director coordinates daily programming designed to keep residents engaged.
Apartments can include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, in-unit laundry, cable hookups, and the option to paint or decorate, though not every unit contains every feature. Housekeeping is provided for all assisted-living apartments, and Independent Living residents can add housekeeping and laundry services as desired. A monthly meal plan is available to those in Independent Living who prefer the convenience of at-home dining without full cooking responsibilities.
Dining services feature both set menus and made-to-order options at each meal, with snacks available throughout the day. The culinary team manages specialized diets such as gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid plans, and a private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings or celebrations.
Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, outdoor smoking areas, and pet-friendly policies; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Amenities include a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, concierge desk, library, special-interest clubs, and scheduled transportation for personal errands or medical appointments.
