Oakwood Estates Nursing & Rehab sits at 5303 Bermuda Dr in Normandy, Missouri, and serves as a medium-sized nursing home with 115 beds, working as a for-profit LLC, so there's a focus on both short-term rehab after hospital stays and long-term care for people who need more help every day, including those living with Alzheimer's disease or other kinds of dementia since there are secure areas to help prevent wandering, and activities designed to ease confusion. Folks here get nurse care for about two hours and three minutes daily, and that doesn't drop off on the weekends, which helps keep care steady. The facility's team helps with dressing, eating, moving around, medications, and making sure everybody can get physical, occupational, and speech therapies if that's needed to get back some independence, like moving, eating, or using the bathroom on their own, and everyone gets an individualized care plan, which gets checked on as their health changes. The place is known to maintain a safe, homelike environment with working call systems in bathrooms, exercises to keep people moving, and regular inspections to keep up food safety, infection control, accident prevention, and resident rights like privacy and self-determination.
The staff here works hard to keep things clean, safe, and welcoming, and they're known for being joyful, helpful, and kind, which does help the place feel friendly, as residents have said, and Oakwood Estates even got recognized with the Best of Senior Living award for its care and support. For meals, they offer restaurant-style dining, with meals planned by chefs and meal planners, including special diets for things like allergies or diabetes, and there's always nutritious food with options all day. The building's got private and semi-private rooms, each with their own bathrooms, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, cable TV, kitchenettes, and phones, as well as safety features like sprinkler systems and handicap accessibility. Housekeeping and laundry are taken care of, and there's help for bathing, dressing, grooming, wound care, and medication management, with pharmacists checking monthly for safe medication use and watching psychotropic medication use closely, preferring other approaches when possible.
Oakwood Estates accepts Medicaid and Medicare, plus long-term care insurance, and the prices run from about $3,500 up to $8,500 per month, depending on whether a resident chooses a semi-private or private room. There's 24-hour nursing and supervision, with support for getting up and down, moving around, and personal care. Residents who need dialysis get help, and annual flu vaccinations are given to keep people healthier. For social and mental wellbeing, there are daily activities - like community-sponsored or resident-run games, arts, and music programs - and common spaces including walking paths, gardens, a theater, fitness and wellness rooms, a library, arts rooms, and a dining hall. Extra amenities include a salon, guest parking, a community room, housekeeping, and move-in coordination.
The facility provides skilled nursing, memory care, assisted living, palliative and hospice care, respite stays for short-term relief, and help for both ambulatory and non-ambulatory residents, and the apartments are equipped to support people who need different levels of help. Medical services cover occupational therapy, wound care, podiatry, nurse visits, and more. There's transport for residents to appointments or group outings, and all rooms have emergency call systems for safety. There's a focus on infection prevention, and every resident's care plan gets updated as their needs change. Employment and accommodations at Oakwood Estates come with protections for gender identity and orientation under their policies. There's no specified information on pet policies, parking details, or internet features, and no list of interior accessibility details.
