Heritage Oaks Assisted Living sits in a single-story, red-brick building on S Marietta Street in Gastonia, close to restaurants and shops, which makes it nice if someone wants to be near places people go often, and there's a real sense that the building is well-kept with beautifully landscaped outdoor areas to relax in. The facility offers assisted living care, which means residents get help with things like bathing, dressing, moving from bed to wheelchair, and keeping up with daily activities, and staff stay on-site twenty-four hours a day, so if something happens, someone will come quickly to help, plus there's a nursing team available twelve to sixteen hours a day for extra care and a reliable emergency call system in every room. People with diabetes can get help monitoring insulin, and the team manages medication for everyone who needs it. Heritage Oaks has private rooms with their own bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, telephones, air conditioning, and high-speed Wi-Fi, and rooms come furnished if needed.
There's restaurant-style dining with all-day meal options, and they'll prepare diets for people with allergies or diabetes, so eating is worry-free, and residents don't have to shop or cook unless they want to. Around the building, residents use wheelchair-accessible hallways and emergency alert systems, which adds to the safety and ease of getting around, and parking and transportation services are always available if residents want to go out. To help people stay busy and social, there are scheduled daily activities, community-sponsored and resident-run events, fitness programs, movement classes, and spaces like the community room, activity room, arts room, and a movie theater for people to enjoy together, and the site also boasts a library, game room, spa, wellness room, walking paths, gardens, and outdoor areas for good weather days.
Housekeeping covers the rooms, laundry and dry cleaning keep clothes nice, and there's move-in coordination and family support too, so people don't have to worry much about chores or keeping up with the little things. Heritage Oaks aims to promote independence and well-being for every resident by focusing on personalized care for different needs, whether it's non-ambulatory care or just basic helped living, and it stands as an adult care home that provides care, supervision, and help for seven or more people who need that kind of support as they age or when life at home becomes too much to manage alone.
