Oakwood Terrace in Moosic, PA is dedicated exclusively to Memory Care, providing a secured community where residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia receive specialized attention. Diabetes management is available, and families can arrange respite or short-term stays when temporary support is needed. Daily oversight is reinforced by on-site physicians and nurses, while therapy services—speech, physical, and occupational—are delivered as ordered. Routine visits from podiatrists, optometrists, and dentists help address foot, vision, and oral health concerns without residents leaving the property, and hospice services are available when appropriate.
Care features are structured to meet changing clinical needs while supporting cognitive health. Staff members are trained in medication management, incontinence care, and ambulatory assistance, and the building itself is designed specifically to accommodate memory loss, with clear sightlines and safety measures to reduce confusion or wandering. A secured perimeter, 24-hour staffing, and regular wellness checks allow families to feel confident about their loved one’s safety. Individualized care plans are reviewed frequently so necessary adjustments—such as added therapy sessions or specialized equipment—can be made quickly.
Private and companion suites are available; some include wheelchair-accessible showers, Wi-Fi, independent climate controls, and direct access to outdoor areas such as the butterfly garden or courtyard seating. Parking is offered for residents or visitors who drive, and common spaces feature comfortable seating, natural lighting, and a piano or organ for impromptu music sessions. Because room layouts vary, not every accommodation contains every feature.
Dining is structured yet flexible. Three chef-prepared meals are served daily, with an all-day dining option for those who prefer different hours or need smaller, more frequent servings. Menus can be modified for kosher, vegetarian, gluten-free, low-sodium, or no-sugar diets, and staff members monitor intake to ensure residents receive proper nutrition. Therapeutic diets prescribed by physicians are coordinated with the culinary team to align meals with each care plan.
Residents have access to an activity center, library and computer lounge, indoor and outdoor walking paths, and raised garden beds that encourage light physical activity. Programming includes yoga or chair yoga, karaoke, live music, dances, birthday celebrations, reminiscence and sensory-based sessions, and intergenerational visits. Clubs, community groups, and planned social outings broaden engagement, and a swimming pool provides supervised aquatic exercise when appropriate.
