Oaks on Parkwood sits on a large, 100-acre master-planned lot in a quiet suburban neighborhood, surrounded by trees and well-kept walking paths, and folks tend to notice how calming it feels out there, where the grounds are landscaped and you'll sometimes see residents visiting on benches or heading to activities. The community is broad and includes options for independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and respite care, and these cover a range of needs from garden homes and apartments for active seniors wanting maintenance-free living, to support for those who need help with daily tasks like dressing or medication. Each home or apartment comes in several floor plans-studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom-with private patios, washers and dryers, and full kitchens, and garden homes offer one-level, privately owned living with service packages that handle things like maintenance. The memory care center has private rooms with memory boxes outside and the hallways don't have dead ends, which can help residents with dementia avoid getting confused or lost, and these spaces stay locked and supervised to keep everyone safe. Staff are trained and always available day and night to help with everything from moving in and out of bed to emergencies, so families know residents get attentive care at all hours. In addition to skilled nursing and rehabilitation therapies, there's also focused support for Alzheimer's and other memory problems, using personalized plans that the staff make with each family. Residents have access to a recreation center with a heated indoor pool, fitness area, gathering and game rooms, and spaces for social events, along with open rooms for crafts and activities to keep people active and help friendships form, and there's always something on the calendar, whether folks want to join a group, listen to music, or just sit together. The dining services get good marks, with flexible, restaurant-style meals made to meet many dietary needs, so everyone can eat well, and there's housekeeping, laundry, pharmacy, dental care, and scheduled rides to appointments too, plus a beauty shop for when a haircut or trim is needed. For spiritual needs, devotional services take place offsite but are available to residents. Oaks on Parkwood is fully licensed, accepts Medicare and Medicaid, and works with several insurance plans, covering a broad range of care, and everything here is designed with seniors' safety, well-being, and comfort in mind, and while there's always more to learn about any senior community, this place has earned a reputation for being both reliable and friendly, with staff welcoming everyone and aiming to make life pleasant and secure for the folks who call it home.
