Oakview Manor

Oakview Manor sits at 929 Mixon School Road in Ozark, Alabama, and has 138 beds as a skilled nursing facility that takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. The place takes care of residents with all sorts of needs-you'll find general nursing care and a whole 23-bed unit just for people with Alzheimer's and dementia. Skilled nurses and certified aides work here all day and night. The Alzheimer's unit stays locked for safety, and folks get activities made for them, with chances to get outdoors in a secured area so it's safe to enjoy sunshine and fresh air. Oakview Manor runs full dietary and housekeeping departments; meals come prepared on-site with nutrition in mind, and there's laundry, too-sometimes rolled into rent and sometimes for a fee, depending on what you need. The therapy department helps people recover and keep moving, with different therapies and even restorative nursing so you can try to hold on to or gain back abilities you had before. If a resident needs it, staff helps with bathing and dressing, and there are services for pain, wound care, diabetes, catheters, and special feeding or IVs. The nurses and aides get constant in-house training, with a Director of Education and specialists like a Wound Care Nurse on hand, and they make care plans that suit each person's needs. After resident's dialysis has been done off-site, the staff will monitor recovery back at Oakview Manor. There's monitoring for bowel and bladder needs, too. You'll see social activities set up by a dedicated program, and people with memory care needs have programs made for them, so everyone stays as engaged and comfortable as possible. The place operates apartments and condominium-style living for seniors who are more independent, and it's got active senior communities with age rules, usually for folks 55 or 62 and up. Assisted living options range from home-like rooms to apartments, and there's supervision on-site at all times. Oakview Manor works with state and federal support programs like Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security disability, and some caregiver help programs. For those learning the ropes, there's training right there for Nursing Assistants to earn their certification. The facility holds a license from the Alabama State Board of Health, and all the beds are fully certified for the payor sources they say. Residents always have access to healthcare, meals, laundry, and therapy, with specialized programs to keep them safe, comfortable, and involved in daily life. Whether someone just needs help with meals or requires constant care, Oakview Manor keeps care focused on a person's health, comfort, and ability to take part in life.
