Oak Wood Haven AFH is a small adult family home in Centralia, WA, licensed for up to 6 residents under Washington license #752015, and folks will find dogs and cats living around the place, sometimes joining in with the daily activities or sitting quietly by a chair. The home sits in a peaceful setting surrounded by oak trees and natural beauty, offering cozy studios, one-bedroom units, and shared rooms designed for comfort and ease of movement, with wheelchair accessible showers, full tubs, and common areas both inside and out. Residents get three homemade meals every day, prepared by chefs who can accommodate special diets like low-salt for blood pressure, sugar-free for diabetes, kosher, and vegetarian options, and there's always an on-site dietitian to help keep meals healthy.
Caregivers provide round-the-clock support and help with everyday needs, including bathing, dressing, movement assistance, medication reminders, blood sugar checks, and coordination for doctor's appointments or errands, with mechanical lifts available if a resident needs help getting in and out of bed or chairs-plus, there's standby help for one-person or two-person transfers. Oak Wood Haven AFH is certified to accept residents with dementia, Parkinson's, diabetes-even those who wander or have behavioral issues-and the secure memory care building has special alarms and wander alert bracelets if someone tries to leave into an unsafe area.
Folks at Oak Wood Haven AFH get plenty to do, with social nights, art projects, fitness programs, walking paths, outings, music, movies in the small theater, recreational areas inside and out, and planned daily activities, though the range is small so it doesn't get overwhelming. There are devotional services in the chapel, a reading room for quiet time, a beauty and barber shop for hair care or mobile hairdressers, a fitness room, a sauna, and a hot tub. Residents can bring their own cat or dog if they fit with the setting, and the staff stays awake around the clock to provide supervision, reminders, and help with every detail of daily living, right down to hygiene and dressing.
This home offers assisted living, respite care, long-term care, hospice, and memory care, so residents can stay as needs change. Transportation and parking are offered if someone wants to join religious services, see a doctor, run errands, or just get away for a little bit. Staff and caregivers are described as caring and attentive by families, and they make efforts to keep each resident's life engaging and safe. Oak Wood Haven AFH doesn't accept Medicare unless certified, but it offers a calm, supportive environment for aging in place with as much dignity and independence as possible, and the care plans include ways to keep folks active, healthy, and comfortable in a place that feels like home.
