The Groves at Oak Ridge offers two primary levels of care: Assisted Living and Memory Care. Residents who choose Assisted Living receive help with activities of daily living while maintaining as much independence as possible, and the on-site clinical team delivers physical therapy and occupational therapy as prescribed. For those living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, the secure Memory Care program integrates specialized staff training, structured routines, and medication management tailored to cognitive support. Additional clinical services such as wound care, diabetic monitoring, hospice coordination, and 24-hour nursing oversight are delivered in-house, reducing the need for outside appointments and helping families feel confident that evolving health needs can be met quickly.
Around-the-clock safety protocols back up this clinical model. Each apartment is equipped with an emergency call system that connects residents directly to staff, and a community-wide daily check-in process verifies well-being every morning. Sprinkler systems and other fire safety measures are built into the infrastructure. Routine laundry and dry-cleaning service helps residents keep clothing and linens sanitary, and licensed nurses oversee medication management to promote adherence and reduce errors. Together, these operational details support a secure environment where medical and personal needs are monitored continuously.
Residences range from studio and efficiency layouts to larger floor plans, and not every unit carries every feature. Select apartments include a washer and dryer, cable television, central air conditioning, in-unit phone service, and Wi-Fi. All residents have access to outdoor walking paths, landscaped grounds, porches, and garden areas, along with common spaces such as the library and computer lounge. On-site parking is available for those who still drive, and maintenance addresses repairs so residents can focus on daily life rather than household chores.
The dining program serves three chef-prepared meals each day, and menus can be adapted for low-sodium, gluten-free, vegetarian, kosher, and other physician-recommended diets. Guest meals make it easy for family and friends to join residents at the table, and snacks are available between meals. Nutrition staff coordinate closely with clinical team members to ensure that dietary orders align with each resident’s care plan.
Daily life is rounded out by a structured calendar of programs. Residents can work on projects in the activity center, join scheduled social outings, or participate in arts and crafts sessions. Yoga, wellness classes, and various clubs help residents stay active and connected, while organized community events encourage peer engagement and routine physical movement.
