Southern Oaks Place sits on a one-story campus, so folks don't have to worry about stairs or elevators, and you can find both individual apartments and shared suites if you want. The community offers assisted living, memory care at their dedicated neighborhood called The Willows, independent living, skilled nursing, and even respite care for short stays. People bring their pets because it's pet-friendly, and you'll see dogs and cats around, which helps many residents feel at home. There are always things going on here, from happy hours and movie nights to fitness classes, exercise every day, games, music, outings, crafts, manicures, and even horticulture activities, so days don't get dull, and there's a chance to connect with neighbors or just relax. There's Wi-Fi and cable TV both in rooms and common areas, so people can keep up with the news or family near and far, and guest parking makes visits easy for loved ones.
Staff includes nurses on part-time shifts, memory-care specialists, personal care assistants, and folks who handle medication reminders, so health services like medication help, mobility support, bathing, dressing, and housekeeping are here when needed. People who need hospice care or skilled nursing will also find support. The staff gets to know everyone and makes sure the care fits individual needs. There's a focus on a homelike feeling, so rooms feel lived-in and comfortable, not like a hospital. The dining here is communal, encouraging residents to eat together, but people can also have quiet meals if they want. Laundry, linen, housekeeping, and maintenance are included, which takes chores out of daily life so people can focus on enjoying themselves. Residents can get salon services on site, and there are wellness programs and a full schedule of educational and entertaining activities.
Families don't need to go far to visit since the place is close to hospitals, shops, and other important services in town. Memory care at Southern Oaks Place means The Willows staff uses special activities and routines designed for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, so daily life feels safer and more supportive, and everyone's comfort and well-being get priority. Things like planned activities, spontaneous get-togethers, and the way everyone keeps an eye out for each other make the atmosphere friendly. Everything's laid out on a campus map, making it easier to find your way. You get both privacy and company, depending on your needs for the day. Residents are free to use the internet and have things like Facebook Lite, Messenger, Instagram, and more at their fingertips if they like. The focus is on giving seniors a full, social, and safe life, with a team that's well trained, caring, and always around for whatever level of help is needed at any given time.
