The Oaks Cottage Assisted Living sits about 3.4 miles outside Ozark, Missouri, in a peaceful rural setting that stays pretty quiet most days, and with only 12 beds, the place does feel like a small, close-knit community, especially when there's usually around nine residents living there. Staff really pay attention to each person, offering help with daily needs like bathing, getting dressed, and moving around, and the rooms are simple studios, already furnished, which makes moving in a bit easier for seniors who'd rather not fuss with furniture. Folks get specialized care for memory issues like Alzheimer's or dementia, and there's extra attention for seniors with diabetes, since staff watch blood sugar, give needed medications, and serve meals that fit special diets, even allergy-sensitive choices. Meals get cooked for everyone, and there's always someone making sure the food meets each person's needs, whether that's a diabetic meal or just something easy to chew.
The Oaks Cottage has plenty of inside areas where people can gather, relax, or join group activities, with movie nights and regular activities set up to keep everyone engaged, and spiritual support is available through devotional trips offsite for anyone who wants that connection. Safety stays important, so there's 24-hour supervision, an emergency alert system in place, and medical support always ready, which makes things a bit easier for both residents and families. Staff also arrange help if someone needs to move in, help with medication, and keep up with laundry and housekeeping, so no one needs to worry about chores piling up. Gardens and walking paths give residents a nice place to stretch their legs, and transportation services make it easier to get to appointments or outings.
The Oaks Cottage offers several types of care, from independent and assisted living to skilled nursing and memory care, so if someone's needs change, they can usually keep living at the same place, and the team can also set up tours, both virtual and in person, if someone wants to see the place first. Pricing depends on the room type and level of care, but monthly charges start at about $5,450. The ratings for The Oaks Cottage are pretty solid, averaging about 8.7 out of 10, and people seem to appreciate the careful, loving attention they and their loved ones receive here.
