Wandering Oaks gives seniors many options with assisted living, memory care, independent living, and even home care for those who want to stay in their own homes. The staff helps people with bathing, getting dressed, taking medicine, eating, and moving from bed to wheelchair if needed, and they always have someone around day or night in case help's needed right away. People with diabetes can get help checking their insulin, and folks who need help with injections will find nurses who can do that, too. The memory care areas have high-tech Wander Guard or systems like it, plus locked doors and trained staff to keep people safe if they get confused or start to wander, and there's always someone to keep an eye out so no one ends up lost or upset. Seniors with Alzheimer's, dementia, or Parkinson's get care in rooms and spaces specially set up to stop confusion and help them stay comfortable, and families can feel at ease knowing everyone's looked after.
Wandering Oaks also offers short-term stays when the family needs a break or someone's recovering from an illness. Field trips, outings, and group events are planned by a full-time activities director, so residents can keep busy with friends, watch movies, try crafts, or read by the fireplace. Folks who like the outdoors might enjoy the lush courtyard gardens, and people who want some quiet time can use the TV rooms or join social programs in the indoor common areas. Meal times give people a choice of regular or Kosher food prepared by kitchen staff, so no one's got to worry about cooking, and housekeeping takes care of laundry and cleaning. There's Wi-Fi and high-speed internet for those who want to connect with family online, and people who want a pet can have a cat or dog with them. The on-site beauty salon helps everyone look their best.
Therapists visit for speech or occupational therapy, and extra support like hospice and skilled nursing, including wound care and other medical problems, is available if needed. There's devotional or spiritual activities for those who want it, and independent seniors have the option to live in their own apartment, join in community events, and get help only if they ask for it. For those who like group living, board and care homes in nearby neighborhoods take just a small number of residents for more home-like daily routines.
Wandering Oaks belongs to a larger group of senior care providers, which means there's lots of different places that offer different levels of help, from independent apartments and care homes up to more nursing or medical support, so people can stay in the same community even if their health changes over time. The staff supports veterans and others who want a mix of services, and pets are welcome in most places so folks don't have to give up their cats or dogs. The community makes a point to be friendly for families and easy for people with mobility problems, using ramps and accessible spaces, and tries to help everyone stay engaged, healthy, and comfortable without making anyone feel pushed or rushed.
