Columbus Oaks Healthcare Community, found in Columbus, Texas, has been around since 1965 and serves seniors with different needs, including independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and rehabilitation services. Folks know the place for its smaller, more personal setting with room for up to 40 residents, and it's certified for Medicare and Medicaid. The community has different living options with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, as well as senior apartments, senior townhomes, and even private rooms and Medicare suites, so people can choose what fits best. Residents can use the four dining rooms where meals are prepared restaurant-style, and there are gluten-free, kosher, diabetic, vegan, and vegetarian options to match many diets. Housekeeping, laundry, and move-in help get offered, freeing residents to spend more time on hobbies or with others.
Many health services come with living here, like medication management, diabetes and incontinence care, therapy services (physical, speech, and occupational), and special wound care in a program for that. A dedicated wellness and nursing staff is present at all hours, and people have help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and transferring-with a 24-hour emergency call and security system in place. The community gives access to medical alert systems, medication dispensers, home security for seniors, and ID theft protection, and they coordinate care with outside health providers when needed. Specialized care programs support folks with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia through a memory care unit.
There's plenty of ways to stay busy, too, from cooking classes and group outings to fitness and stretching classes, art and game rooms, day trips, movie nights, wine tastings, devotional activities (both on and off site), talks by visiting speakers, lifelong learning, and resident-run projects. Outdoor features include walking paths, a garden, and green space, plus there's a physical therapy gym, on-site barber and beauty salon, and a dedicated activity schedule aimed at keeping bodies and minds active. Every room comes with air conditioning, wheelchair-accessible showers, private bathrooms, furnished spaces, and a telephone. Residents can get connected using provided high-speed internet, cable, and senior-friendly cell phone plans.
Columbus Oaks Healthcare Community is a privately held, state-licensed (license number 147890), medium-sized community rated by the Seniorly Community Score and has about 110 staff.
