Oakwood Manor sits at the corner of Townline Street and South Railroad Street in Oak Harbor, Ohio, serving Ottawa County from 524 North Benton Street, and offers retirement apartments for adults aged 62 and older, or those who are handicapped or disabled, and who meet income requirements, and you'll find that the rents run from $385 to $519 a month with some options for rental assistance as well as different ways to pay like private pay, veteran's benefits, social security, or insurance. The staff, who many would say really bring kindness and helpfulness to their work, are around 24 hours a day for emergencies and can help move residents from bed to a wheelchair or monitor insulin for people with diabetes, and the facility's known for making sure everyone's treated with respect while helping with things like bathing, dressing, medication, and home care, whether someone needs a little help or more support, with levels of care broken into high, medium, and low, along with community and respite fees, buy-in costs, and such.
Oakwood Manor focuses on independent living, but it also offers assisted living and memory care, supporting those with Alzheimer's or dementia so they're safe from wandering or confusion, and there's devoted aides who provide companionship and non-medical help, plus you'll often see group activities or devotional times meant to keep people engaged-so there's something for the mind, body, spirit, and social side of life, whether that's physical movement, games, or spiritual gatherings. The meals here get planned and prepared by chefs for balance and nutrition, everyone eats well, and there's on-site laundry so it's easy to keep up with chores, and for those who want to spend time with others, the common indoor spaces and amenities make it simple to socialize, have a quiet talk, or just join in with whatever's going on in the lounge or activity rooms.
The building has one-bedroom apartments with all the basic appliances included, but those who want a studio, semi-private, or two-bedroom space can find choices too, so there's a bit of flexibility depending on what a person needs or can afford, and Oakwood Manor's always made a point of offering equal housing opportunities to anyone eligible-whether it's home ownership for seniors or apartment rentals for adults 62+ or the disabled, and all with the goal of safe and low-maintenance living. Folks who stop by will notice the friendly culture-a lot of joy in daily life-and it's these little touches, the steady support and the honest sense of community, that make it a practical, comfortable, and affordable option for those who want to live independently while knowing help is nearby. The office is open Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8:30 in the morning to 4:30 in the afternoon, so questions can be answered in person then, and while there's no website or email, all the main information about care, housing, and eligibility stays available to those who ask.
