Country Oaks Assisted Living of Layton provides assisted-living care with an emphasis on routine medical oversight. The community can manage wound care and oxygen therapy, accommodate residents who require special diets, and accept individuals under 60 years old. Diabetic residents receive support whether they are on oral medications or insulin injections, and the staff is trained to work with those who have mild dementia.

Registered or licensed nurses are on staff, with a nurse on call around the clock. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift is maintained. Doors are alarmed, the building is staffed 24 hours a day, and residents have access to pull cords and personal emergency response systems that alert staff members. Help with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting is offered at a full-assistance level. Transfer assistance ranges from simple standby to one-person transfers for residents who use walkers or wheelchairs.

Residents can choose furnished accommodations or bring their own furniture, and most rooms can be painted or otherwise personalized within community guidelines. Cable service is available in many, but not all, units; prospective residents should confirm specific features during a visit.

Meals are served from a set menu, but on-order options are available at each sitting. Between-meal snacks are kept on hand, and the kitchen can modify or manage diets as prescribed by physicians or dietitians.

The campus supplies resident parking, wheelchair-accessible pathways, internet access, communal gardens, and scheduled transportation for errands and appointments. On-site religious services are held regularly, and smoking is permitted outside in designated areas. Pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
