Oliver Woods Assisted Living & Memory Care in Owosso offers two levels of residency: Assisted Living for adults who need routine help with daily tasks and Memory Care for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias—including advanced stages. The community is equipped to care for individuals who wander during the day or at night, are at risk for elopement, display combative or other behavioral challenges, stay awake overnight, or are under 60 years old and require support. Clinical capabilities include wound care, oxygen management, special diet preparation, and comprehensive diabetic oversight—covering oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale dosing. Podiatry services are provided on-site, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses, allowing families to consolidate care under one roof rather than seek outside specialists.
An RN or LPN is on staff, with a nurse available on call 24/7. Night shifts are always staffed by awake personnel, and every employee undergoes a background check. Safety systems include door alarms, a fenced rear area, WanderGuard technology, pull cords, and personal emergency response devices that alert staff at any hour. Caregivers can supply full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and are trained in a range of transfer methods—walker or wheelchair support, standby help, one- or two-person transfers, full Hoyer-lift transfers, and care for bed-bound individuals. An activity director coordinates daily cognitive and physical programs designed to keep residents engaged while staff and security remain on site around the clock.
Living accommodations vary, but many suites feature a private bathroom, basic furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate for a personal touch. Because floor plans differ, prospective residents should verify which specific features are included in the unit they select.
Dining is made to order, allowing residents to choose their meals rather than follow a fixed menu. Snacks are available between meals, and the kitchen team can handle physician-ordered diet modifications—such as low-sodium, diabetic, or texture-altered plans—to align with each resident’s medical care plan.
Additional conveniences make day-to-day life easier. The building is fully wheelchair accessible and offers exterior smoking areas, a barber and beauty shop, a movie room, a wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and on-site religious services. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and local errands. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
