Camellia Place, an Oaks Senior Living Community, provides memory care, assisted living, independent living, and respite care in a small neighborhood of six single-story homes, each with 16 private suites that come with walk-in closets and private baths, and there are also shared room options for folks who want them, and while the community typically welcomes pets, no pets are allowed here. Residents pay a $2,500 entry fee and can expect thoughtful safety features like grab bars, emergency pull cords, and layouts that make it easier to get around. There are fully secured neighborhoods, three special memory care houses for folks with mild, moderate, or advanced dementia or Alzheimer's, and outside you'll find two miles of walking paths, plenty of gardens and green spaces-with over half the property kept green-and nice gated courtyards and front porches. The community offers all-day dining in cozy shared or private settings, with guest meals and room service if needed, and kitchen appliances for those who want to take care of small tasks.
Assisted living and memory care folks get help from designated care partners and personal care assistants with things like dressing, bathing, and medication reminders, and there's a nurse on staff on a part-time basis. The staff gets training for memory care, and care levels are based on what each resident needs, so they try to help everyone feel as independent as possible while making sure people are safe. There are various therapies like occupational, physical, and rehabilitation, plus support for managing diabetes, low-salt, vegetarian, and other special diets. Residents have access to fitness and wellness programs-like Tai Chi, yoga, and stretching classes-and group activities include arts and crafts, music, literary groups, outings, tabletop games, and gardening or horticulture. They also have cable and satellite TV in common areas, Wifi in rooms, community entertainment, and planned religious services.
The homes in Camellia Place are set up to allow as much socialization and freedom of movement as possible, especially for those who might get confused or anxious, and the staff helps create connections between residents, families, and even local school kids or church groups. General transportation services are available for appointments or outings, and the community has both parking lots and visitor parking. The housekeeping and laundry teams handle linens and cleaning, so residents don't have to worry about chores. There's a pharmacy on site, help with mobility (like walkers or wheelchairs), a Live WHOLE vitality program aimed at engaging people in their own interests, and support for Veterans Affairs aid assistance. They also have hospice and in-home health care if that level of service is ever needed. The community's overall purpose is to help residents look forward to each day, treat everyone with dignity, and provide a safe place that feels like home, with spaces and routines set up to reduce confusion and encourage a sense of belonging.
