Oak Crest Senior Living Community

Oak Crest Senior Living Community sits on about 87 acres with well-kept, golf course-style grounds, and the place almost feels like a small city by itself, where folks aged 62 and older can live without having to worry about home maintenance or shoveling snow, and you can find just about everything you need without leaving in bad weather since they've got restaurants, shops, a pool, even a medical center, and the apartments stretch up to 750 square feet with open layouts and custom interiors, so there's plenty of room to move about, plus everything's wheelchair accessible, and there are safety pull cords in bathrooms and bedrooms for peace of mind. Folks can bring their cats along and there's parking for residents' vehicles, and they offer beautician services so everyone can keep up with grooming and personal care. The dining options cover three different restaurants right in the main residents' building, and all the meals aim to be nutritious and made with good ingredients. Residents can stay busy with activities on-site and devotional trips off the property, and whether you're looking for some light fun or want to join a club or attend a fitness class, there's always something going on, including arts, movies in the theater, walking paths, outdoor events, and a well-stocked library-so it's easy to stay mentally and socially active. The staff includes people trained to help in Assisted Living, Memory Care for Alzheimer's and other dementias, Skilled Nursing for higher medical needs, and the community offers different levels of care on the same campus so no one has to move far if more help becomes necessary. Healthcare services cover everything from memory and incontinence care, diabetic and non-ambulatory care, medication management, and access to skilled nursing with 12-16 hour nursing care and a 24-hour call system, so support is there if you need it. The grounds feature indoor and outdoor communal spots, a church, gardens, a lake, and rooms for crafts or fitness, and there's a steady program of resident-run actives, social groups, and recreational spaces. Transportation is available for a fee and makes getting to local places like MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center or even Starbucks or the nearby church easier, and security is managed with features like apartment swivel doors, nightly checks, and cameras to make sure everyone feels safe. People here talk about the place having a bit of a college campus feeling but set up for older adults, with a real sense of community, camaraderie, and support, and you'll find the whole environment suitable for people who want independent living now and the possibility of more care later on; Oak Crest has been running for over twenty years under Erickson Senior Living, with a schedule running from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM every day, and accepts credit cards for convenience. Each part of the community, from Independent Living and Assisted Living to Memory Care and Skilled Nursing, connects within a single campus, so residents can transition between levels of care when needed. Air conditioning, restrooms, parking, and other amenities like wheelchair showers come standard, making it a practical and comprehensive choice for seniors who want a range of different living options and don't want to worry about the hassles of home upkeep.
