Oak Ridge of Richmond

Oak Ridge of Richmond does a lot for people who need help as they get older, and the place seems to understand memory care better than most, because they've got a secure area made for folks with Alzheimer's and dementia, with 13 studio apartments in the memory care community, so everyone gets attention and safety, and the staff stick around for years, which means they know the people and the work, and that's rare these days. The nurses-registered and licensed practical both-along with certified nursing assistants, stay on-site day and night, taking care of medications, emergencies, and personal needs, with staff specially trained to work with people who have memory issues, so families can feel a bit of comfort when they're far away. The community looks after everyone, whether they're staying short-term for respite, need rehabilitation, or are near the end of life and need hospice, offering a solid team for advanced care planning too, so no one feels forgotten. The rooms come private or with a roommate if that's what someone wants, and for those with memory trouble, even the walkways and gardens are secured, and there are alarms, to keep folks from wandering and getting lost-those courtyards and gardens, they're not just for fresh air, you know, they're part of helping people feel peaceful and a little more at home even when things get confusing. Meals are nutritious, with a café, snack spots, and plenty of places to sit and relax like lounges and a library, or to get haircuts at the beauty salon and barber shop. Housekeeping and laundry get taken care of, and folks can ride in the facility van for doctor appointments or outings when they've got the need or energy. The daily activities are structured to help people keep their minds and bodies moving, with memory-enhancing programs, spiritual support, and plenty of chances to socialize so no one has to be alone if they don't want it. The place has always focused on safety, independence, and well-being, offering personal care, assistance with transfers like wheelchairs, and watching over medications. Every care plan is personal, matched to what each resident needs. Since opening in 2015, Oak Ridge of Richmond has built a supportive environment where seniors can feel secure, cared for, and respected, and the staff really do their best to make life as good as possible for everyone who calls it home.
