Oak Ridge Living is a Community Based Residential Facility with a license number #0016302 and can care for up to six residents at a time, so folks who live there get to know each other and the staff, which is always around and awake 24 hours a day. This community serves seniors who need assisted living, memory care, or respite stays for short-term help, and also supports aging in place so people don't have to leave when care needs change. There are six senior apartments, with options like small studios, well-sized apartments, and even semi-private spaces, all furnished and including things like basic utilities, private ADA bathrooms, wheelchair accessible showers, and kitchen appliances, plus keyless entry by keypad for added safety and independence. Oak Ridge Living has a dedicated memory care wing in a separate, secure building that's built for Alzheimer's and dementia care, so it's set up for wandering safety with alarms and alert systems that let staff know if someone tries to go off-site. The staff is trained for behavioral care and high-needs support, offering incontinence care, help with dressing, feeding, bathing, medication reminders and set-up, and specialized care for diabetes with blood sugar monitoring and insulin injections when needed, plus nurses come on-call anytime and a registered nurse visits every month for health checks. Trained team members can help with hospice, physical therapy, and massage therapy, too.
The place is friendly and quiet with lots of well-used common spaces-residents can enjoy a movie in the viewing room, relax in the library, hang out on patios or decks, walk on garden paths or trails, or just sit and talk in the spacious dining hall or living areas, and the beauty salon and barbershop offer hair and grooming services right on-site. Oak Ridge Living welcomes pets, and there's scheduled transportation for medical visits and errands, plus parking spots for family when they come to see loved ones. People can join in creative arts and crafts projects, games, and daily fun activities, or try out computer and technology classes or take part in devotional services either on-site or off-site. Meals are included, prepared by the culinary team, with healthy choices for special needs like vegetarian or diabetic diets, and catering for special occasions if families want to celebrate together. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services are part of daily life, so rooms stay fresh and clean, and staff handle apartment repairs and upkeep.
There's support for physical health with a fitness section, walking trails, a wellness center, and group exercise programs, and staff encourage participation in life enrichment and mental wellness activities. Preventive health measures happen throughout the month, and monthly physician checkups keep tabs on resident well-being. For social and spiritual needs, Oak Ridge Living provides family support groups, concierge services for special requests, and scheduled community activities like movie nights or group celebrations. The computers and telephones in rooms let residents stay connected, and the whole property is accessible for wheelchairs and walkers. Staff offer calm support for folks with wandering or higher behavioral needs, and the building is designed for those who need high levels of care or supervision. The small size of Oak Ridge Living means residents and families often get to know staff well, and the easy pace makes it a simple and supportive place for seniors with varied care needs.
