Amber Oaks Assisted Living sits in Shelby County as a single-story, secure building with an enclosed courtyard where residents can find both safety and outdoor relaxation, and inside, there are 38 fully furnished apartments, each equipped for personalized care, so people have the choice between private or shared rooms, most with their own telephone, and some come with special touches like Wi-Fi and space for pets like cats and dogs, which can make it feel more like home for those who like to keep their animals close. Amber Oaks offers meal preparation and service three times a day in comfortable dining rooms, making room for special diets like those for diabetes, allergies, or high blood pressure, and often serving home-cooked meals with options for those who enjoy a specific taste or have food restrictions. Staff members provide support with activities of daily living, including help with bathing, dressing, walking, personal hygiene, and medication management, and they're present around the clock with emergency alert systems and call buttons in every room to keep everyone safe at all hours.
Health and wellness get plenty of attention, with a full-time activity director planning regular programs so residents can join in on workout schedules, music and art events, movie nights, social events, and game nights, and there's a library and an arts room for people who want some quiet or enjoy creative hobbies, while those looking for more pampering can use the on-site barber and salon, as well as a jacuzzi, sauna, or wellness room for extra comfort. The community runs a wide range of activities, like pet therapy, music therapy, tabletop games, and trips to faith-based facilities, shops, or doctor's appointments, plus field trips and resident-run clubs, and if someone enjoys gardening, there's an enclosed garden to spend time outdoors. Residents can invite guests for meals, enjoy private dining rooms for family visits, and take part in guest activities, while the open common areas give everyone space to read, socialize, or just relax.
Memory care is available for people living with cognitive concerns, and hospice care is offered for those needing end-of-life support, and respite care options help families who need a break or temporary help after surgeries or illness-this helps support both seniors and their loved ones. The staff, led by Executive Director Dean Windsor, aim to make Amber Oaks a comfortable and home-like environment by focusing on dignity, independence, and open communication with families, with services certified and licensed for assisted living, so help's always close at hand. Residents say staff are friendly and attentive, frequently described as helpful and joyful, and the facility often receives good marks for its care, support, and friendly atmosphere, maintaining a high satisfaction rate among families and residents. Eligibility for living at Amber Oaks includes options like private pay, VA benefits, and long-term insurance, and people often come tour the community to see the schedule of activities, meal options, and the overall environment. Everything in the community-from walking paths to enclosed courtyards and pet-friendly features-tries to give seniors comfort, security, and a sense of belonging, making Amber Oaks a quiet, steady choice for those needing a little more help each day.
