Oakwood Senior Living offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, giving residents access to everyday support or specialized cognitive care as their needs change. Short-term respite stays are available for individuals recovering from surgery or when caregivers need a break, and diabetes care is offered for those who require monitoring and dietary coordination. On-site physicians coordinate with visiting specialists such as speech therapists to keep medical oversight consistent.
The community is a secured environment with an emergency call system in every apartment to help manage risk 24/7. Licensed nurses supervise medication management, incontinence and ambulatory assistance, and a wellness program tracks each resident’s health goals. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy services are provided on site, while a podiatrist visits regularly to address foot-care needs. The layout includes enclosed courtyards and interior spaces designed to reduce confusion for those living with memory loss. Hospice services can be arranged when needed, and the staff supports both independent and assisted living residents as well as those in the Memory Care neighborhood.
Apartments vary in size and features; some offer wheelchair-accessible showers, private patios, balconies, or decks, and most are air-conditioned. Wi-Fi, resident parking, uncovered parking options, and in-unit washers and dryers are available in select units. Cats are permitted, and common areas include outdoor gardens and seating areas with a piano or organ for resident use. Because layouts differ, not every accommodation includes every feature listed.
Dining follows a restaurant-style approach with meals served throughout the day. Menus can accommodate no-sugar, low-sodium, vegetarian, and other special programs, and international dishes rotate regularly to provide variety. Residents can choose all-day dining options to fit personal schedules.
Residents have access to an activity center, a library and computer lounge, and dedicated spaces for yoga, chair yoga, and stretching classes. Live Well fitness programs, indoor and outdoor walking paths, and a swimming pool support regular exercise. Social calendars include birthday parties, dances, happy hours, wine tastings, game room competitions, and movie nights in the theater room. Reminiscence and sensory-based programs, intergenerational projects, and clubs and community groups encourage engagement, while scheduled outings help residents stay connected with Knoxville events.
