Oaks at Tucker sits near Emory Decatur Hospital and shopping spots, tucked beside a local park, so the scenery feels peaceful and the building always seems clean and bright, with cozy spots to visit or rest. The community offers several care options, including assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or other dementias, and short-term respite care-each one comes with a focus on personal needs. The management team and care staff get to know residents and their families, learning what helps someone thrive, then tailoring care plans to match those needs, from help with bathing and dressing to medication reminders. The memory care area stays secure with closed doors and clear layouts to help keep everyone safe and comfortable.
The community fills up with friendly faces and a caring attitude, and staff stay on-site day and night. Nurses, physical therapists, podiatrists, and an activities director are always around, offering both healthcare and daily support. There's a nurse on call, an emergency call system, and a dentist visits, too. Oaks at Tucker has seven cost-effective and flexible care levels, letting residents stay a bit more independent for as long as possible. Trained staff help with cleaning, cooking, laundry, and grooming, while the maintenance-free setup means no worries about chores or repairs, and the kitchenettes inside suites come with refrigerators, microwaves, and sinks.
The dining program here serves hot, balanced meals all day, and folks can customize orders as they like, plus get snacks and enjoy social meal times in a restaurant-style dining room, or sit in a cozy lounge or game room if they'd rather. Activities run every day, led by a coordinator and director, with plenty of chances for exercise, crafts, outings, learning, and even visits from local schools or animal therapy programs. Residents can pray offsite, keep up with friends using the internet, and spend quiet time in a library or outdoors in the garden. Oaks at Tucker allows cats, dogs, and even birds, as pets are seen as family and part of daily life.
Apartments come in several floor plans with private bathrooms, grab bars, emergency pull cords, and layouts to help everyone stay safe and comfortable. Wheelchair accessible showers, beauty and barber services, and hospice care are available. Transportation's covered too, with free rides to appointments or outings. The community culture feels joyful and welcoming, with a sense of respect for each person's background and routine, and staff take special care to honor dignity and independence. Oaks at Tucker has earned awards like Best of Senior Living and All-Star for quality care and friendly service, has belonged to the Georgia Senior Living Association since 2005, and has Deborah Dowell as a main contact. The family who runs Oaks at Tucker brings over 25 years of experience, and every part of the community-from secure memory care to all-day dining and engaging activities-aims to help residents stay active, safe, and happy while living as independently as possible.
