The Pines at Oakhurst is licensed as both a Residential Care Home and a Memory Care provider, allowing the team to serve residents with a wide range of health profiles. Care staff are prepared to manage wandering behaviors day or night, elopement risks, combative or other behavioral issues, wound care, oxygen therapy, and the monitoring of special diets. Diabetic residents are accommodated whether they use oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale protocols, and the community is open to adults under 60 when clinically appropriate. Support extends to the most advanced stages of dementia.
Registered and licensed nurses are on staff, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day. An awake night shift, door alarms, a fenced rear area, on-site personnel around the clock, and a PERS call system all contribute to resident safety. Medical oversight includes podiatry visits, primary-care visits, dental visits, psychiatric consultations, and full medication management; psychiatric diagnoses are accepted. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfers are accommodated at every level—from standby assistance to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers, including residents who are bed bound.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, and many can be painted or otherwise personalized to meet a resident’s preferences. Cable service, regular housekeeping, and scheduled laundry are included. Some rooms have en-suite features while others share community bathrooms, so prospective residents should confirm specific layouts during their tour.
Meals follow a set menu designed by dietary staff, with snacks always available. The kitchen prepares mechanically chopped, puréed, and thickened-liquid options, and staff can implement physician-ordered diet modifications for diabetes, cardiac care, or other medical needs.
The property is wheelchair-accessible and permits outdoor smoking in designated areas. Residents have access to internet service, communal gardens, on-site religious services, and a visiting barber. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
